Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, except for the imperial examination system, which is not hereditary, almost all other fields have adhered to the principle of hereditary system.

There is a military household system for soldiers, a craftsman household system for craftsmen, and a merchant registration system for merchants.

The trade between the trilateral lands and the captives or pirates, and even with the Tusi in the Tibetan areas of Gannan and Qinghai, has been monopolized by a few border trade families for hundreds of years.

The biggest concern of these wealthy merchant families who made their fortunes by monopolizing border trade is that the government will take back their monopoly trade rights, and then the government will open a camp to collect taxes, and encourage mainland merchants to settle in and trade freely with border countries.

And what Yuan Chonghuan, the trilateral governor, did after he took office, was exactly what they were most afraid of.

Yuan Chonghuan is that kind of stinky and hard temper, bribery and bribery are not easy to use at all, and even if he takes your money, he will not do anything for you.

After Yuan Chonghuan took the Guyuan Town army to move to Huamachi, the first thing he did was to control the major salt farms in Huamachi.

At the same time, with only a single proclamation, a large number of salt quotations that had been sold since the Wanli Emperor were simply and rudely abolished.

Immediately afterwards, in his trilateral governor's palace, he set up the trilateral salt division and the trilateral tea and horse division, and took the salt, tea and horse trade in the trilateral land, that is, Gansu, Ningxia, Yansui and other places, into his own hands.

In order to improve the financial situation of the trilateral governor's palace as soon as possible, and also to raise funds for his planned development of the northwest frontier and then show his strength, Yuan Chonghuan took office, and in accordance with the instructions of Emperor Chongzhen in his secret decree, he levied taxes on merchants engaged in border trade by issuing concessions to border trade merchants far higher than before.

All of a sudden, it was naturally a hornet's nest again.

It didn't take long for various impeachments against Yuan Chonghuan to come one after another.

However, whether it is the opening of border markets, franchising, or the imposition of heavy taxes on border trade, they were all allowed by Emperor Chongzhen when Yuan Chonghuan took office as the governor of the three sides.

Therefore, such an impeachment is naturally ineffective.

However, the fact that impeachment has no effect does not mean that the matter is over.

As the saying goes, cutting off people's financial routes is like killing their parents, and Yuan Chonghuan's ban on the right of wealthy businessmen in the border areas to monopolize border trade will of course cause a backlash from these people.

The Qin, Jin, and Han merchants who lived in the trilateral land were okay to say, either honestly buying the charter, or taking stock of the sale and transferring it elsewhere.

Anyway, there is no place to stay here, and there is a place to stay here.

However, the Musuman merchants who lived here had no way to go elsewhere.

Zhao Dayin, the deputy chief soldier of Taomin, who was born in a family of Taozhou Taoshang, is like this.

And the same is true of Zhao Dayin's generals and school officials, such as Ma Guangyu, Ma Jinzhong, Mi Layin and others.

These people were either born into local wealthy merchants or local health guards, and their families were both landlords and merchants, and for many years they relied on their power to monopolize trade routes in order to make huge profits.

What Yuan Chonghuan did after he took office was tantamount to directly cutting off their financial route.

And because these people are all from Mu Suman, they usually have the same qi and branches, and they are originally a small circle with a close relationship and water that cannot be splashed, but at this time, they are even more together and have come closer.

Yuan Chonghuan and his staff have a disagreement with the turbulent people in the three sides of the land and don't understand it, but for these Hui generals who are Ming army generals but are subject to the local scripture hall and worship temple, they feel it very clearly.

It's just that the strength of these people is obviously insufficient compared with the army under the command of the Trilateral Governor's Palace, so they can only swallow their anger and endure it silently.

However, with the successive relocation of the main forces of Guyuan Town and Lintao Town, especially with the departure of Dong Zhiyi, the chief officer of Lintao Town, and Han Yiliang, the commander of the army, the position and power of Zhao Dayin, the deputy commander-in-chief of Taomin, were immediately highlighted.

Zhao Dayin spent a lot of money and asked the trustee to find Mao Yujian, the most useful right-hand man by Yuan Chonghuan's side, and finally succeeded in staying in Taomin, but his dissatisfaction with Yuan Chonghuan still did not change in the slightest.

Therefore, when it came to implementing many of Yuan Chonghuan's policies, it was very resistant and uncooperative.

In particular, the Taozhou merchants headed by their own families not only turned a blind eye to the smuggling trade with the Tibetan Derge Tusi and Baili Tusi, but also escorted them and openly resisted the ban of the Trilateral Governor's Office.

After learning of this situation, Yuan Chonghuan was very dissatisfied with Zhao Dayin and reprimanded him several times.

However, Huamachi is far away from Taozhou, and after Dong Zhiyi and Han Yiliang led the army to move to Hanzhong, Zhao Dayin, as the deputy commander of Taomin, is basically equivalent to the local emperor.

In addition, Zhao Dayin was originally dissatisfied with Yuan Chonghuan's various policies, so he turned a deaf ear to Yuan Chonghuan's rebuke, and while resolutely denying the accusation, he continued to disobey the yang and the yin.

In August of the second year of Chongzhen, the fuse that intensified the contradiction finally appeared.

Twelve Jesuit missionaries from the Ming Dynasty, including Long Huamin, Tang Ruowang, and Xiong Sanba, were half-imprisoned and half-escorted by Wu Kezhong, deputy of Jinyiwei, and traveled from place to place, and finally arrived at Huamachi, the residence of the Trilateral Governor's Palace, on foot.

Long Huamin, Tang Ruowang and others met with Yuan Chonghuan, and Wu Kezhong also conveyed to Yuan Chonghuan the intention of Emperor Chongzhen to allow the twelve Jesuit missionaries to spread Catholicism in the trilateral governorates.

After more than a year of serving in the northwest frontier, Yuan Chonghuan also realized the seriousness of the Mu Suman problem.

Not only did these Mu Suman not read the books of sages in the minds of civil officials like Yuan Chonghuan, who were born as scholars, but they also did not obey the royal laws of the imperial court and the government.

And those gods and gods and gods are more authoritative than the imperial court and government represented by the state and county guards.

All this made Yuan Chonghuan, who had never seriously considered the issue of Yijiao when he was in Guangdong and Liaodong before, feel both surprised and worried.

Now, the holy decree of Emperor Chongzhen and the arrival of this group of red-haired devil Jesuit missionaries made him quickly understand the intentions of His Majesty the Emperor.

As a result, after Long Huamin and other missionaries arrived in Huamachi, they were immediately treated favorably by Yuan Chonghuan, and Yuan Chonghuan soon wrote to the government offices of Lintao, Guyuan, Ganzhou, Lanzhou and other places in the name of the trilateral governor's office, so that they could provide places and convenience for Jesuit missionaries to build churches and spread doctrines.

Yuan Chonghuan's fanfare for supporting these Hongmaoyi people in spreading the Catholic teachings upheld by the Jesuits in the predominantly Musuban area almost immediately ignited the anger of those large and small Moluo in the Musuman Sutra Hall and the mosque.

And Long Huamin also took a few missionaries and more than a dozen Han believers who followed him all the way from Beijing, and impatiently took the will of the Ming Emperor and the official document issued by the Trilateral Governor's Office to Taozhou, the diocese of his choice, to raise funds to build a church.

Long Huamin and his entourage have been closed countless times in Taozhou's fundraising, and they have also touched a nose of ashes, but he has become more and more frustrated, and he has always been full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit.

Not only went to the home of the wealthy merchants and gentry in Taozhou to persuade people to believe in religion, but also went to the Confucian Temple and the state to exchange knowledge with the local talents.

Even again and again, with the interpreters found from the local area, he went to the local Musu Barbarian Scripture Hall in Taozhou to openly debate the merits of the teachings of the two sides with the local Molos.

The result can be imagined, within a month, Long Huamin and others will not be able to stay in Taozhou.

Because of the will of the imperial court and the protection of the trilateral governor's palace, the personal safety of the Yiren missionaries under the command of Long Huamin was not problematic for a while, but the Han believers who came to Taozhou continued to disappear one after another.

This situation was reported to the Trilateral Governor's Office, and Yuan Chonghuan, who had obvious problems with his emotional intelligence, asked the local government to provide protection for these Taixi missionaries.

Specific to the land of Taomin, it is to let Zhao Dayin, the deputy chief soldier of Taomin, send people to provide protection for Long Huamin and others to preach.

Zhao Dayin himself is a Huimu Suman, it would be good if he didn't send someone to kill Long Huamin and the others, how could he provide protection for their missionaries?

Therefore, Long Huamin and others are still in a difficult situation in Taozhou, and some believers who have finally been attracted by seeing a doctor and giving alms are always beaten to death on the street every once in a while.

Such things happened again and again, so that Yuan Chonghuan's dissatisfaction with Zhao Dayin continued to accumulate.

Zhao Dayin thought that a civil official like Yuan Chonghuan was as fierce and introverted as many civil officials he had seen in the past, and he was very happy on the surface, but in fact, he couldn't treat a general like him who guarded the border.

However, he was wrong.

After repeatedly reprimanding and Zhao Dayin still disobeyed his old ways, Yuan Chonghuan moved the idea of cleaning him up.
