Chinese characters are very inscrutable, and there are many interpretations of the word chicken, for example.

But Emperor Chongzhen never imagined that the chicken called Shaji was actually a grasshopper, also known as promoting weaving, also known as Luowei, also known as crickets, commonly known as textile Niang, Luosi Niang.

Among the wonderful emperors of the Ming Dynasty, there is a famous guy named Zhu Zhanji, known as the "Cricket Son of Heaven", a big hobby in his life is fighting crickets, and Zhengde also likes this.

But I haven't heard of anyone who likes to fight gnats, this thing is called good, and it can be fought when it comes to fighting, but not many people study the matter of fighting gnats.

Of course, this is not the point, the point is that Emperor Chongzhen felt that the barbarians of later generations ate very fragrant after being fried, so the people of the Ming Dynasty seem to be able to taste it?

The focus of the propaganda is that this male grasshopper is spicy and aggressive, and eating it will definitely aphrodisiac and tonify the kidneys.

It must be admitted that Jinyiwei and Dongchang, the emperor's domestic slave institutions, if the emperor is powerful, then the ability that these guys can exert will make anyone smack their tongues.

For example, there is such a thing as a gnat, and now the people of the Ming Dynasty have begun to catch this thing - if they are caught, they will inevitably be eaten by the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Because it is said that this thing can aphrodisiac and tonify the kidneys, and can give birth to sons, especially after a few guys have shit luck, and they really have a son.

As for something like Yang Yipeng, the governor of Caoyun, played earlier, this thing is a disaster?

The current people of the Ming Dynasty only think that there are too few such things.

Along with the grasshoppers, there are also locusts.

Because Emperor Chongzhen showed a food show of fried locusts and barbecued locusts in the capital, and his old palace concubines and ministers of the court and central government all ate a meal, the locusts said that they really fell into blood mold.

It was not that no one had hunted locusts before, and it was not that no emperor had taken the lead in eating them, for example, His Majesty Li Er had eaten locusts raw.

But after all, the taste of raw food is not as good as the taste of fried and barbecued, not to mention that the government also paid a lot of money to buy this thing - Emperor Chongzhen originally said that the price of ten yuan and three catties after drying was automatically made into eight yuan and three catties by officials and men from all over the country, and the price was unified across the country, and there was no after-sales service.

Emperor Chongzhen, who knew that these officials were making all kinds of money, said that it didn't matter, and he was only greedy for two cents out of three catties, which was already a real conscience for these officials who were not greedy for eight cents in the past.

As for the middle cabinet and the officials and even those guys who hooked up with Jinyiwei at the same time, Emperor Chongzhen said that he didn't care.

Anyway, this thing is recorded in a small notebook is an account, and you can take it out and use it whenever you want to use it - for example, when you want to cut off someone's head, this little black account is very useful.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty said that if it weren't for the fact that the Dog Emperor always held a knife and made a gesture on the neck of the big guy, the locust would be at most a penny a catty.

After all, this thing doesn't need to be raised, just grab it where you have it, and the money you get for free is also money.

Therefore, in the first half of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen also had a rare change from the troubles of Chongzhen's 23456 years - locusts and gnats are about to be caught and extinct, and there is no hope for a disaster in the future, which is good news.

And then some of the more daring guys began to wonder if this thing could be raised. In addition to selling to the government, can it also be sold to Xinming Island?

Sold to the government is eight cents and three catties, and sold to Xinming Island is not eight cents a catty?

Changing the weight of the unit, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty said that this is all a small meaning, adding a zero or even adding two zeros and then selling the goods is a small matter, and everyone is very proficient in business.

As for the locust god, will his old man be angry?

The merchants of the Ming Dynasty said that we were mixed with the great Emperor Chongzhen, the Son of Heaven, and the little locust god was a yarn - don't you know that the old man's house is for His Majesty's immortal tablet?

Chongzhen has been in the past seven years, the situation is very good, and the locusts have just been driven away after the construction of slaves. The people live and work in peace and contentment, Emperor Qikua is so good! Especially the emperor's generosity, it is difficult to find ancient and modern, the locust god is more troublesome, the locusts are all eaten, the sand chicken has not become a disaster, and it has not run in a blink of an eye, the emperor Ming opened the territory overseas, the kangaroo is full of treasures, it is estimated that the pot looks at the past and the present, the emperor Chongzhen is the best!

As for these reactions of the people, Emperor Chongzhen just laughed at it, as long as the locusts do not become disasters in the future, then even if it is drought and waterlogging, it will not be so miserable that the particles will not be harvested.

It turns out that it has always been a bad thing for people to be unlucky.

For example, when Emperor Chongzhen took the train in his previous life, he happened to meet a young woman with a child in the lower bunk, and the child happened to be noisy, and he happened to like to eat instant noodles in the sleeper car, so that the bitter ape in his previous life could not sleep for 32 hours in a row.

But when people are lucky, good things come one after another.

For example, now, Emperor Chongzhen wants to transfer a million troops in Daming, so naturally he has to bring brothers from a small number of ethnic groups, so each clan, regardless of size, has to send out 20,000 young and strong people, and first enter the local health centers for training.

Like the Hui people, they are very honest and cooperative-the old Zhu family's high-pressure killing policy for the color of the Hui is really ruthless enough, such as you must wear pigskin boots and can't walk in the middle of the road, otherwise you will be killed by the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the government will not care.

And Emperor Chongzhen is a Ming monarch who is more obedient to the ancestral system, and the policy of His Majesty Zhu Yuanzhang, the chairman of the Daming Unlimited Liability Group Company, who was born in a cattle herding baby, is naturally perfectly implemented, just like the perfect implementation of the ancestral system of skinning the corrupt officials.

There are also Yi people who are also very cooperative - Fu Weiming killed and killed, and he has always paid little attention to the pacification policy advocated by Zhu Xieyuan, and now he can exchange 20,000 young people for stability, and the people of the Yi nationality said that this is very okay and cost-effective.

As for those who are originally very sinicized, except for those who are basically no different in clothing, like the Miao people, most of the remaining Khitan who have been changed to the Han nationality, and what kind of She Hakka family and the like all say it doesn't matter.

But there are also some who express their discooperation - there are not many fucking people in the entire clan, and if you are sent to death by your dog emperor so much, wouldn't you want to exterminate the clan?

Then there were a few people who were more courageous and felt that following the army to go out was death, and raising the flag to rebel was also death, so it was better to raise the flag and rebel.

What if it succeeds? What kind of prince will Xiangning have?

After all, even if you die after the rebellion, you will die on the feng shui treasure of Daming, and you don't have to die on the land of the barbarians.

Then Emperor Chongzhen was very happy, Hong Chengchou was also very happy, and the commanders and officers and soldiers at all levels of the guards in the Ming Dynasty were very happy.

The military's happiness lies in the fact that there is a war, after all, it is to quell the civil strife, the credit is certain, this is a good thing, it is better to fight a few more.

The reason why Emperor Chongzhen and Hong Chengchou were happy was that when Jiannu, Bainu, Kunlun Nu and even the Japanese slaves were all short of death, so many good coolies suddenly appeared.

If you don't follow the king, that's the anti-thief, why is Jiannu so miserable? Isn't it because these goods raised the flag and rebelled and then were scolded by His Majesty the Emperor?

Now there are suddenly hundreds of thousands of guys who have chosen the same path as Jiannu, and Emperor Chongzhen and Hong Chengchou said that there is finally no shortage of coolies to build the railway.

After all, in addition to the construction of railways, the current Ming Dynasty also has to dig wells and pits in various places, dredge rivers, and repair bridges.

Now that there are suddenly hundreds of thousands of coolies who are about to become prisoners of re-education through labor, the progress of railway construction can certainly be greatly accelerated.

For example, now, the railway from the capital to Shanhaiguan has been completely repaired, although it is said that tens of thousands of Jiannu white slaves Kunlun slaves died in the process of construction, but the black-hearted Hong Chengchou will care?

Obviously not, Hong Chengchou said that if the railway is not repaired, the official will die, and if he chooses between the death of the official and the death of those coolies, it will definitely be better to let those coolies die.

Barbarians, half-orcs, are better than cattle in that they can understand human speech, some can speak human language, and the rest is like that.

Although Emperor Chongzhen, who is the lord of the world, felt that Hong Chengchou used these coolies too much to die, after all, he could be regarded as a meritorious service to the country, so Emperor Chongzhen also made his own reaction to the impeachment of the imperial historians.

Merit and demerits should be clearly distinguished, merit is merit, merit is fault, merit is merit, merit is not rewarded or there is no punishment for the fault, it is a taboo for the superior.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen first issued an order to reprimand Hong Chengchou, and then rewarded Hong Chengchou with two pieces of jade Ruyi, and then it was over.

Then Emperor Chongzhen felt that he had a tendency to develop towards His Majesty Yang Er - they were all civil and military, suave and suave talents, and they all watched the barbarians around them live too miserably, so they wanted to preach the sage education to them, and they all liked to play big projects.

The only difference with His Majesty Yang Er is that the coolies used by His Majesty Yang Er are all the people of his own family, while His Majesty Emperor Zhu Wu Chongzhen does not use the people of his own family.

The process is basically the same, the coolies used are different, and the consequences are very different.

His Majesty Yang Er is cold, and His Majesty Emperor Zhu Wu Chongzhen is offered by a considerable number of Ming people to be a living immortal at home, a pillar of incense in the morning and evening, looking forward to the great Emperor Chongzhen His Majesty can truly live a long life.

Even the sound of beating drums for a whole day and a night came from the sow dragon cave in Dingyuan Fort in Xuzhou, and it was automatically interpreted by the people, thinking that this was a good omen - didn't the emperor and his old man plan to go out to fight the son country in the west, this is the sound of war drums on the expedition, a good omen.

The people of Sichuan feel that this is such a good omen, and it is not a problem to scare anyone, but they didn't say it, and sent their sons to join the army.

But no matter which yamen you find, regardless of whether it is a local yamen or a guard office, it is the same sentence: "The posts are full, and no more soldiers will be recruited." ”

Sending money? Pull it down, if you dare to send it, we don't dare to accept it, who knows which guy is the person of Jinyiwei, who collects the money today, and tomorrow his head will hang on the door, but he will fuck up.

Then a funny scene appeared - many ethnic groups who did not want to join the army were dragged to build railways and dig wells, in short, the rhythm of working hard until death.

Although it is only a short ten years, it is very questionable whether it will survive three years.

But those Sichuan people who want to join the army can't find a way with white flowers and silver - many of them have read books and know some words, but they still can't get in.

For this news, Emperor Chongzhen said that he was very satisfied, it should be like this, can a good man not join the army.

However, Emperor Chongzhen's plan to directly send troops to the Mughal Empire in the autumn of the seventh year of Chongzhen still failed, and finally decided to delay it until the autumn of the eighth year of Chongzhen.

In May, there was a big flood in Qiong and Meizhu counties, and the bad city walls, farm houses, people and animals were not counted, this actually didn't matter, after all, the disaster response plan had already been there, and Emperor Chongzhen was not short of money in his hands, so this problem was not big.

The bigger problem was that in September before the expedition, a fire broke out in the armor factory, and a large amount of armor was burned down.

It's the right thing to hold people accountable and then cut off some heads, but how can you go on a campaign without armor? How to go to the Mughals to cut people and grab land?

In desperation, Emperor Chongzhen had to choose to delay it for another year, and wait for all these armors to be re-prepared before going.

Then Emperor Chongzhen's stinginess was committed-how much money did it cost to train for a million-strong army? How much pressure is there on logistics?

After gathering the bigwigs of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies together, Emperor Chongzhen was the first to speak: "Millions of troops are gathered, and there is nothing else to do except drills, this is not a problem, we must find something for them to do." ”

Zhang Weixian said that although the natural disasters of the Ming Dynasty have become this bird like a bird, there are always several cases a year, but the people are very stable, no one wants to rebel, and some people who are dissatisfied with it some time ago have also been pulled to build the railway, so what do you think these people should do?

Throwing it back to the various guards and assembling next year is a feasible solution, but Emperor Chongzhen obviously has no intention of doing so now.

Because of Jinyiwei's urgent report, Xia Ezhe, who had advanced rabies, and the old Qin people of Xiangmapao had already gone to Nuergandusi, where they found another group of white slaves, and they hurt each other after several fights.

Of course, although Xia Ezhe is already in the advanced stage of rabies and is basically hopeless, his head has not been completely broken after all-especially since there are still descendants of Mencius like Meng Fanxing among his accomplices.

Then after some discussion, Xia Ezhe decided whether to find his own family's leader to provide some support - there are a lot of Baiyi here, and it's good to catch some more and go back to repair the railway, huh?

For Xia Ezhe, who has completely evolved into a rabid dog in the state of Li Simo, Emperor Chongzhen said that he was very happy, such a loyal rabid dog, he just wanted it.

Now that his own rabid dog has come to ask for help, why does Emperor Chongzhen mean it?

Originally, I still wanted to send Zu Dale, who was rescued from Shenyang, to support, but now that I see that with this million soldiers, there is no need to use the soldiers from Shanhaiguan to Haizhouwei, and the Beijing camp and the new army can also be saved.
