The Ming Dynasty is experiencing a world war, and its opponent is the Christian world throughout Europe.

Although this war is not related to the life and death of the Ming Dynasty, it is related to the status of the Chinese nation in the world in the next hundred years.

Li Xiao devoted himself wholeheartedly to this war!

But at such a critical moment, Li Xiao heard news that could drive people crazy.

Someone actually started a civil war!

Moreover, the cause of the civil war was actually a well.

Although the dispute between locals and guests in Guangdong and Guangxi has existed for many years, under the pressure of Yuan Chonghuan, there has been basically no trouble.

But I did not expect that at this critical time of the Ming Dynasty, the dispute between the natives and guests of Guangdong and Guangxi would intensify.

From a small-scale armed fight between two villages at the beginning of the year, there has now been an armed march involving hundreds of thousands of people.

They greeted each other with swords, guns and sticks, and occasionally used homemade cannons and muskets.

Even the matchlock guns stored in the Japanese country did not know the channel from which they flowed into Guangdong and Guangxi.

With the addition of thermal weapons, the number of casualties has skyrocketed.

"Why did you report it?" Li Xiao looked at the memorial in his hand and threw it away in anger.

"When the incident first started, Kong Youde wanted to suppress the incident.

As a result... I didn't expect the people below to collect money from both sides. As a result, it became difficult to manage both parties!

Now, it has become like this.

Kong Youde couldn't suppress it anymore, so he reported to the court."

Sun Yuanhua sat on the chair with a look of helplessness on his face.

Officials of the Ming Dynasty, starting from the most junior clerks, knew how to deceive superiors and deceive subordinates.

For more than 200 years in the Ming Dynasty, everyone has come this way. The inertia of the wheel of history cannot be stopped by Li Xiao's arrival.

When something happens in the local area, the first thing the local magistrates want to do is to hide it.

I couldn't hide it anymore, so I lied to others.

Only when you really can't be deceived will you tell the truth.

But often by this time, things have become so rotten that they can't be dealt with.

Not even an old and cunning man like Kong Youde could be protected, which shows how far the locals and foreigners from Guangdong and Guangxi have gone to war.

"Forget it! In this case, let's send someone to suppress the matter first.

Everything needs to be suppressed before we deal with it!" Li Xiao stroked his forehead. To be honest, he really had a headache.

At the beginning of the war, there was chaos in the country.

Today's Ming Dynasty is not afraid of war, nor is it afraid of fighting. But it is afraid of fighting both inside and outside!

The country is reduced to a pot of porridge, so what the hell are you talking about trying to dominate the world?

The Central Plains dynasty resisted foreign invasions many times, but in the end they perished due to civil strife.

External troubles and internal strife will destroy a dynasty.

"At this point, we can only send a capable person to Guangdong and Guangxi to take over Kong Youde to suppress the matter. The original plan of the second division to reinforce the Middle East has also been postponed.

It is better to transfer the troops of the Second Division back to Guangdong and Guangxi to suppress local armed fighting.

No matter who goes, they can't stop this without soldiers."

Sun Yuanhua nodded. It was useless to get angry at this point. The only thing he could do was to extinguish the evil fire of fighting between Guangdong and Guangxi as soon as possible.

At the beginning of the war, domestic stability was paramount.

"Who to send?

Geng Zhongming? Shang Zhixin?

They are no better than Kong Youde!" Li Xiao then realized that all the talents in his hands had been sent out.

Apart from Kong Youde, the only ones left in the country were Shang Zhixin and Geng Zhongming.

Geng Zhongming is old and is retiring in Xi'an.

Shang Zhixin is in Qinghai, and if the Han-Tibetan community there is separated from him, there will probably be trouble.

Talent!

What is lacking most now is talent.

Li Xiao discovered that all the outstanding talents of Ming Dynasty were sent overseas.

Xiong Cilu went to Australia to be the governor, Chen Tingjing went to the Middle East. Wu Ciyou was in Central Asia, and Shi Danai was in Egypt...!

As the Ming Dynasty's military force continued to advance, civil servants also appeared in the lands conquered by the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, Sun Chuanting, who was nearly seventy years old, still had to manage the Northwest.

Today's Northwest China is not the Gansu, Ningxia and Shaanxi of the past.

Instead, it includes the entire Western Region, a large area from Hami to Ili, if calculated in terms of area.

It is larger than Gyeonggi, Hebei, Shandong and Liaodong combined.

Managing such a large area is really a test for an old man who is nearly seventy years old.

But there is no way, there is really no way to squeeze out people.

You can't just let a young man in his twenties or thirties manage a vast area with a population of hundreds of millions.

"Sun Chuanting has been offered a job and hopes to retire and return to his hometown. The only person who can take the position he has vacated is Yuan Chonghuan.

This is something that can't be helped. After all, the northwest is very large and full of foreigners. If you want to manage it well without causing trouble, you need very clever methods.

Currently, the only one left in the country is Yuan Chonghuan.

As for things in Jiangnan...!

I think Xiao Zhan can go to Jiangnan for some experience. He will first serve as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi for a period of time, if this matter is handled properly.

Another talent that can be put to great use!

However, during the time of Guangdong and Guangxi, it was not something that a literati of his generation could do well.

It must be protected by strong military force. I suggest that Sun Zhijie be transferred to the position of commander of the Second Division.

He led the expeditionary force and fought in battles like Grozny.

It is a perfect fit to be transferred to this position.

The two of them, one civil and one military, should be able to settle matters in Guangdong and Guangxi.

It's just...!" That's something bad about Sun Yuanhua. He always talks with but, just!

"If you have anything to say, just say it. What's the point of saying half and leaving half?"

"It's just that this matter involves Sun Zhijie. Commander, do you want to discuss it with Mr. Sun?"

Li Xiao nodded, Sun Yuanhua was worried about Sun Chengzong.

The old gentleman is already over eighty years old, but he is still as sharp as ever. Li Xiao estimates that even if he lives to be 100 years old, it is very possible for him to hold a memorial service for himself.

indeed!

We must tell Sun Chengzong about Sun Zhijie.

After all, this is Sun Chengzong's most beloved grandson.

After Sun Chengzong retired, he was extremely strict with his family's descendants. Except for Sun Zhijie, only two of his relatively good descendants became officials.

Most of the remaining family members are farming and studying in their hometown of Gaoyang.

He doesn't even allow his descendants to do business. With the old man's open-mindedness, he will never have the idea that doing business is a despicable business.

He just feels that as long as business descendants go out in his name, they will immediately receive huge benefits and also bring huge harm.

It can be said that this old fox is trying his best to downplay his influence in the Ming Dynasty.

But the more this happens, the greater his influence becomes.

The legends about him are so miraculous!

In many folk legends, Sun Chengzong has been compared with Liu Bowen and Zhuge Liang.

In some places, temples have even been built to worship this old man who is still alive.

Apart from Sun Chengzong, there is only one person who has ever had this honor.

That is the famous one - Wei Zhongxian!

Li Xiao nodded: "Okay, I'll talk about it.

Sun Zhijie led the expeditionary force and pulled out the most dangerous nail on the side of the Central Asia Railway.

He should indeed be given a promotion!
