The "Shangfang Sword" system often seen on TV in later generations was actually only officially implemented starting from the "Three Major Expeditions" during the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, the Ningxia Tatar chief Kuaibai gathered troops to rebel. The Ming court used Gansu governor Ye Mengxiong to "give Shang Fangjian" to encircle and suppress the rebellion.

Afterwards, Ye Mengxiong broke into the city and "executed all Bai Bai's party and surrendered two thousand people." Kuai Bai's son Kuai Cheng'en and others were kidnapped to the capital and executed. The victory of this battle gave the Ming court a taste of the sweetness, and the gift of Shang Fangjian began.

Frequently.

The basic function of the Shangfang Sword is that the emperor gives the governor the right to transcend the legal system: "to make a decision at the last moment", "to kill someone below the fifth rank", and "to dismiss someone below the third rank".

Therefore, Xiong Wencan also has a legendary treasure in his hands. It is said that once Shang Fang sword comes out, there will be no brothers from now on.

...

Xiong Wencan, who was sitting in the hall at this moment, really wanted to invite his brother... Shang Fangjian to chop off the dog's head from the neck of the chattering guy in front of him.

Who is this guy? Lin Shudi, the governor of Fuzhou Prefecture.

Xiong Wencan was originally in a good mood.

Last night's conversation with Cao Chuan allowed Lao Xiong to get enough promises from both public and private aspects, some of which even exceeded his expectations, which made him feel very happy.

Unexpectedly, this afternoon, Chief Minister Cai Shanji brought him another surprise.

Before this, Lao Cai had only vaguely expressed opposition to the recruitment of Zheng Zhilong - after all, he was the one who specifically handled the matter, so Lao Cai couldn't say much.

And today, Cai Shanji, in full ceremonial form, wore official uniforms to express his attitude in the Fuya lobby. This was a business-like affair with two eyes: Cai Shanji, at this moment, was tantamount to officially raising the banner and clarifying his political stance. He now represents all the people.

The Fujian gentry and businessmen who agreed to recruit Zheng Zhilong were expressing their attitude to the governor Xiong Wencan.

...Lao Cai has the exclusive power to report matters. Today's conversation will soon be reported to the capital.

What about Xiong Wencan? Xiong Wencan is also very happy. This is a sleepy pillow, and it comes in time!

If it was before last night, Lao Cai came to express his attitude, then Xiong Wencan would have felt that Lao Cai was a little abrupt: Is this a forced marriage? Who made the decision?

However, one night passed, and the situation was completely different.

Xiong Wencan is now eager to have strong local forces to support his decision to recruit the Chuangzhong.

After all, if Lao Xiong appeases Cao Chuan, it would be equivalent to overturning the original decision made in the court; Lao Xiong will have to bear political pressure - if Zheng Zhilong continues to cause chaos after traveling through the crowd and fails to do anything, then Lao Xiong can

I completely took the blame.

This is also the reason why Lao Xiong has repeatedly hesitated and did not dare to make a decision easily, even though he himself is very optimistic about the time-traveling forces... he has been optimistic about it since Hangzhou.

Very good, in time, Cai Shanji, who was cremated with lightning, suddenly jumped out.

At that time, Lao Xiong managed not to laugh three times: For such a major political decision, Lao Cai must be punished with a memorial. This is equivalent to taking half of the blame off his own head!

In fact, after seeing off Lao Cai happily in the afternoon, Lao Xiong even thought about the theme of his memorial... Your Majesty, it’s not Lao Xiong who is stupid. Look at these local Fujian officials.

I don’t advocate recruiting Zheng Zhilong...

All the good mood was ruined after meeting Lin Shudi, the governor of Fuzhou Prefecture.

Lin Shudi came sneaking over to see him before leaving the office in the afternoon.

Of course Xiong Wencan knew what Lin Shudi wanted to say when he came here. This man was Zheng Zhilong’s mouthpiece in Fuzhou. Since he took office in Fumin, this guy had come here more than once to encourage him to recruit the Zheng family, and he almost shouted: Here comes an official.

No more food.

However, Xiong Wencan couldn't drive this guy away after all, nor could he refuse to see him - wasn't he clearly telling people that he didn't want to appease Lao Zheng?

At this critical stage, Lao Xiong would naturally not be so foolish as to reveal his plans to the outside world.

So even though Lao Xiong is the governor of a province, he can only suppress the tempting idea of ​​asking someone to kill someone with a flying sword. He sits expressionlessly in the courtroom and quietly watches this guy pretending to be cool - Lin Shudi

This guy's job title is level 5, which is exactly the upper limit for killing with flying swords.

On today's trip, the latest Zheng Zhilong quotation uttered by Lin Shudi was a famous saying in history: "If someone dares to resist the army, he will have no choice but to get a title, and he will serve the court to the best of his ability. Half of the southeastern wall can be

Rest easy."

...Xiong Wencan said nothing.

Over the years, he has cultivated his energy in the officialdom, so that even though his heart is extremely angry, his face remains calm.

The old bear, who has long been cultivated into a arrogant and arrogant temper by a certain force's gentle and gentle style, without taking power, now faces Zheng Zhilong's arrogant remarks that clearly threaten the use of military power to enclose the southeast. He no longer has the forbearance in history.

.

The next moment, Old Xiong gently stroked his long beard, and a gentle smile appeared on his face: "I already know Zhilong's intentions. You go back, there will be news in the next few days."

Lin Shudi left happily.

Today was the first time he saw Lao Xiong's smiling face, so he was in a good mood. Lin Tongzhi was full of confidence in his future care at this moment.

Xiong Wencan is also full of confidence in recruitment.

So that night, he met with Cao Chuan again, and under Cao Chuan's recommendation, he met the tall and round sailing instructor Sha Zhengming.

It's the same study room, still bright white solar light, but this time there are two more people in the room.

One is Sha Zhengming, and the other is Comrade Emifeng holding a folding fan - Lao Xiong is no longer afraid of showing his tendency to appease in front of his most capable staff.

"What a great man!"

Even though this person was kneeling in worship, when he first saw Sha Zhengming, who was 1.88 meters tall and covered in tendon meat, in the small study room, Lao Xiong couldn't help but take a breath.

After Sha Zhengming got up, Old Xiong took a closer look at this great monk who was dressed in monk's robes and had a shaved head. He said with admiration: "Where did the monk become a monk before he fell into the grass? How can he eat so well?"

"Back in Fujun, Zhengming became a monk at Baoji Temple, the Pure Land Sect of Siam, when he was young. Thanks to the strong incense in the temple, he secretly ate a lot of sesame oil from the abbot, so he is slightly bigger than others..."

"Hahaha." The three people sitting on the chairs in the room laughed at the same time.

"Sit down and talk." Old Xiong smiled and shook his head: "What an honest monk."

During the pre-training, Sha Zhengming, who had been designated as a honest and reckless person, naturally did not know how to be humble at this time and sat down on the chair.

"Well, Monk Sha, if we organize our army in the future, do you dare to fight against the Zheng family?" Xiong Wencan then slowly asked the topic of today's meeting.

After hearing these words, Sha Zhengming's nose flaring, his eyes full of anger, he stood up from the chair with a bang: "I will kill you like a dog!"

...

After the drama queens had their fill of drama that night, they quietly retreated from Fuya, leaving behind the gift list and taking away the promise.

At the same time three days later, still in this small study, a major event in this plane finally happened: Xiong Wencan, dressed in official robes, officially accepted the surrender of "Cao Chuan" who was kneeling in front of him, and gave it back to Cao Chuan.

The identity and official seal of Sichuan's "Fujian Coast Defense Guerrilla".

Yes, it is the most formal coastal defense guerrilla complaint. The Travelers have no intention of asking Old Xiong for the false title of "Five Tiger Guerrilla General" like Lao Zheng did in history - except to show that the bumpkin knows nothing about officialdom.

, there is no further benefit.

...Although the official position of Cao Chuan as a guerrilla would ultimately require the endorsement of the imperial court, since Xiong Wencan, as a senior official in Fujian, recommended the official position of Cao Chuan as a guerrilla, the imperial court would certainly not refuse.

Therefore, from this moment on, Xia Xianze's originally planned policy of appeasement - using the power of the Ming court to develop time-traveling forces towards the Ming Dynasty - took the first step.

The "stuck position" plan that had been implemented in Hangzhou had come to a perfect end at this moment - Zheng Zhilong failed to pass the interview in the end and was stuck at the last level by Chuanzhong.

What will be replaced next is the "Struggle" plan, which focuses on tactical ambushes and crusade against pirates. The heroes behind the scenes active in Fuzhou City will cease their activities, and in the next stage, other time-travelers will jump on the stage.

...

As "Cao Chuan" took over the action of claiming body and official seal, the wheel of history changed drastically here, and the time-traveling forces began the process of sucking blood from the Ming Dynasty.

The big hat of "winning the country unjustly and seeking to usurp the throne" is not worn on the heads of the people in time. This act of appeasement can save everyone 5-10 years of development time at least.

The reason is simple: the "coastal defense guerrilla" work permit that Xiong Wencan came down from is universal throughout the Ming Dynasty.

In other words, from this moment on, even if the civil service system continues to despise Cao Guerrilla, the fleet flying the flag of "Guerrilla General Cao" can still enter any port in the Ming Dynasty and purchase any materials and personnel, including all items prohibited from export by the government.

.

From now on, the business of traveling through the public can be carried out in a big way across the north and south. As the reputation of destroying pirates spreads in the future, the Ming court will gradually rely on the warlord Cao Cao who has a large number of soldiers. At that time, it will dump goods to the provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time transport the population and control

The movement of history will be extremely easy, and the strength of the people will expand like a balloon.

Compared with the benefits that will be obtained at the strategic level in the future, the submission and weakness that Xiong Wencan sees now are the biggest disguise of a certain force.

Lao Xiong would never have thought that there would be a kind of parallel push technology called industrialization in this world. The so-called comparison of strength and overall control in the traditional sense would soon be overwhelmed by machine tools and assembly lines, and the time-traveling crowd would use it faster.

The speed allows for deeper control of all territory within gun range.

...

After the secret investiture ceremony that night, despite the huge class gap, legally speaking, Cao Chuan and Xiong Wencan, who were already imperial officials, were considered close colleagues.

Therefore, the next two colleagues naturally talked about how to deal with the problem of Zheng Zhilong.
