Chapter 126: The Death of Zhengde

After all, Chongzhen has traveled from the afterlife, and in his memory, there is nothing that cannot be solved by one shot, if there is, then another one. It doesn't matter if it's a bullet or an artillery shell or an atomic bomb, just one shot and things will always be resolved.

But now Zhang Weixian and Cui Chengxiu's statements have shattered his illusions or dreams. Because of the firearms that Daming has now, it is better to solve his own troublesome problems with a single shot.

Taking Liaodong as an example, those guys in later generations, not to mention the big killer weapons like mushroom bombs, are those red flags, five pairs of wheels, etc., as long as you get some of them, and put a few rounds on Jiannu's side, Liaodong will no longer have any problems.

But what about the current Da Ming? Not to mention the five pairs of wheels and the red flag, it is the Hongyi cannon, and when one cannon comes down, it is only a few tens of meters of erosion, and it is a luxury to want to be eroded for hundreds of meters. For example, the old slave Nurhachi, who claimed to have been killed by Yuan Chonghuan, didn't he run to the grassland for a lap before hanging after being shot?

It can be seen that the so-called firearms are basically just a sound.

Chongzhen was thinking about the good things in the future, and was thinking about when he would be able to get these things in Daming and give Jiannu a shot, when he heard Zhang Weixian's voice sound: "Your Majesty, now my Daming's cavalry can't beat Jiannu's cavalry, and the ordinary guards are also erosive, in fact, the root is still in the orthodox years." ”

Chongzhen actually wanted to tell Zhang Weixian that he didn't know when the orthodox years were ......, and what he knew, except for Hongwu, Yongle, Chenghua, Zhengde, Tianqi and Chongzhen, the other emperors didn't have much impression at all. But in order not to show his ignorance, or to cover up the fact that he was a traveler, Chongzhen just hummed lightly and said, "The British Duke continued. I listened. You just have to say, whatever you say, I don't care. ”

Zhang Weixian actually wanted to say it for a long time, but he didn't dare to say it. The nobles of the Ming Dynasty wanted to say it, but no one said it. Since the fight against the civil fort, the nobles of the Ming Dynasty have been played as dogs by the civil officials, after all, the world belongs to the emperor, and if you offend the civil officials, you will be the one who will bear the consequences.

It's just that now, looking at the strength of Emperor Chongzhen's slaughter of civil officials, Zhang Weixian sees the hope of the nobles to rise again. After sorting out his thoughts, Zhang Weixian said: "Your Majesty, does you know Zhang Taiyue, who presided over the change of the law during the Wanli period?" ”

Chongzhen actually doesn't know who Zhang Taiyue is at all, but when it comes to the Wanli period, and then mentions the law change, and the surname is Zhang, then this Zhang Taiyue should be Zhang Juzheng. Chongzhen nodded and said, "Mr. Taiyue has presided over a whip law to enrich the treasury a lot, of course I know. ”

didn't think about it, but Zhang Weixian said: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, Your Majesty only knows that Zhang Taiyue changed the law, but you know that Qi Nantang, who has single-handedly trained such a strong soldier as the Qi family's army, wants to call himself a little lackey Qi in his letter to Zhang Taiyue?" Even so, you have to continue to offer your navel and send a daughter to Ji and Zhang Taiyue, so as to get enough military salary? ”

When Chongzhen heard this, he was furious in his heart. A dignified generation of famous generals, even if they are their own teachers opposite, actually want to call themselves lackeys? Where is the big tomorrow? When will a cabinet of ministers, like a secretary's office, be able to decide on major military expenditures?

Although he was furious in his heart, Chongzhen still looked calm, after all, his acting skills were not enough, and he had to rely on facial paralysis to make up. After whispering "hmm", Chongzhen continued: "That's it, it's all in the past, after all, it's still good for General Qi to fight the Japanese slaves in the southeast, let's go over these things." ”

Zhang Weixian bowed down and said, "Your Majesty is merciful." These things were the norm before His Majesty's reign. In the end, in fact, it is still in the orthodox years of the change of the civil fort, since the civil fort, the status of the generals and nobles of the Ming Dynasty has plummeted, even if His Majesty wants to improve the status of the warriors, but it is difficult to go, for a while, the change is not very big. ”

Chongzhen also knows these problems, since the time of Tumubao, these nobles who are full of scribbling knives and cutting people to make military merits have been collectively pitted into dogs by the civilian group, and basically their bones have been bent, as if they have never straightened up again. Even if Emperor Zhengde wanted to turn this crooked wind around, the consequence would only be to die after falling into the water.

This incurable death is not a death that is ineffective in healing. According to the official records of the Ming Dynasty and the palace that Chongzhen read, "the east and west travel luckily, travel thousands of miles, ride horses, waist bows and arrows, wade into dangers, brave wind and snow, and the servants are sick, and the emperor is tired." "Emperor Zhengde, it's impossible to hang up just because he fell into the water and got a cold-if these, in addition to showing that the imperial doctor of the Ming Dynasty is incompetent, can it also show a fart?!

And the most speechless thing for Chongzhen is that a month or two before Zhengde died, he strongly asked to change the imperial doctor, but was scolded back by Yang Tinghe, saying that he was caused by the absurd style of life, and it would be good to recuperate.

Later, all the causes of Emperor Zhengde's death pointed to the death of falling into the water and playing with too many women in the leopard room.

For these two points, Chongzhen just wants to hehe. An emperor who personally slashes people on the battlefield will not be able to resist the wind and cold? Playing with too many women, it is just a little kidney deficiency to death, and the physique is slowly weakening, but a guy who can hack the enemy to death with a knife may have kidney deficiency?

An emperor thinks that the imperial doctor is no good, but he can be scolded back by Yang Ting and a first assistant? Who gave him the courage to scare the emperor? Just because he once gave a lecture to Emperor Zhengde when he was the crown prince? When Zhu Houxi did not come to the throne of Beijing, this guy took charge of the government for a total of 37 days, eliminated the maladministration of the Wuzong Dynasty, was praised by the court inside and outside, and added Zuozhuguo. So, who praised it? Isn't it still those shameless literati who hold each other's stinky feet?

Moreover, even after Zhengde stiffened the little Mongolian prince, what did the military department say at that time to Wang Xuanxi, Guizhou Daoyushi Li Yan and others in the joint book? In the battle of the emperor's personal conquest, the Mongol cavalry killed and captured many people, and our army also lost troops and generals, and compared with the gains and losses, it was really not a big deal. I hope that in the future, the emperor will not be so hasty and pro-conquest, but will "expand the principles of heaven, curb human desires, live in the ninefold, and meditate on the Tao".

In the end, these guys succeeded in killing Zhengde, who was quite "deviant" in their opinion, through the inaction of the imperial doctor or simply instructing the imperial doctor to poison, and set up Zhu Houxi, the son of Zhu Youqi, the "quite virtuous" king of Xingxian at that time, as the emperor, but what he didn't think was that this emperor was similar to Zhengde, and he didn't have a good sense of civil officials, even if he didn't ask about the government in the harem Xianxiu, but he always firmly controlled the political, financial, military and people's livelihood power of the entire Ming Dynasty.
