The living example of the starting point city is there, the strength of the Tiance army is obvious to all, and Wang Yue's conversation today is also substantial, Chongzhen hopes that Wang Yue can talk about some reform opinions on the issue of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Yue spread his hands and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, there are many problems in the Ming Dynasty, and the ministers in the court also know about it, but they don't want to change, so what can I do?" ”

When it comes to the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, it is not a question of whether to change it, but a question of whether it wants to change it and whether it can be changed.

Even after the Qing army entered the customs, they used knives to force the Han people to shave their heads and recognize the orthodoxy of the Qing Dynasty. But in the subsequent history, there are still many things that the Manchus dare not touch, such as the grasp of grassroots rights by the gentry group and clans, which cannot be shaken at all and dare not be shaken. The Qing Dynasty's set, in the Yongzheng period, can be said to have played the centralized politics of great unification to the peak. The result?

Therefore, in any political system, there must be an external force that promotes its development and progress. The consequence of an immutable system is its demise.

The original form of the capitalist system is not what it is now. The system of rabbits at the beginning of the founding of the country, after a few decades, has also undergone tremendous changes.

The unchanged of the Ming Dynasty is essentially that it does not want to change. Because of the Ming system, it is decided that even if it is a change of dynasty, it is just a change of master. For the gentry clique, they really don't care who will be the emperor. Why? Quite simply, the relationship of interests has not changed.

The cornerstone of the ruling class of a society is actually such a mentality, and one can imagine what the consequences of this system will be.

The elite of the whole society, they are the group of people who are most reluctant to see change.

Any change that dares to touch their interests will be attacked by the crowd. Zhang Juzheng's reform did not touch the root at all, and even so, after his death, he was also attacked by a group. And the most ruthless person is actually Emperor Wanli!

This was the status quo of the Ming Dynasty. A very ironic result. A man who brought great benefits to the country's finances was spurned by the whole country after his death. It has truly achieved the common hatred of the world.

The problem at the end of the Ming Dynasty is very complicated, the brick family of later generations called the beast has a lot of research, the Ming Dynasty can now be described as a thousand warehouses, a basket of problems. Wang Yue thought that he didn't have the ability and energy to deal with those scholars, and he thought that tearing down and rebuilding was the best way, so he had the starting point city.

Wang Yue saw Chongzhen's disappointed look, and said: "The starting point city is near the left side of the Jingshi, and the minister's governance methods are all in it. If His Majesty is interested in learning about it, he can send someone to the starting point city to observe and see if there is anything for the imperial court to learn from.

If Chongzhen sent someone to study in the starting point city, Wang Yue would not care, because he knew that it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to copy the model of the starting point city.

Collecting commercial taxes, heavy commerce, heavy industry, opening the sea, reforming education, land reform, etc., which reform is a great event for the current Ming Dynasty, not to mention that Wang Yue does not see that Chongzhen has such courage and ability to carry it out.

Even if Wang Yue and Chongzhen are allowed to change positions, it will not only be protracted but also difficult to solve the problem of Daming. Even if the resources of another world are used to support the finances of the Ming Dynasty, if thirty percent of them can be implemented, it is really a conscientious official, most of whom have to be beaten with meat buns and dogs, and go into the pockets of corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

Chongzhen didn't get the prescription he wanted from Wang Yue, so he had to nod and say, "I will send a lieutenant official to your starting point city to observe at the right time." ”

Such a thing, of course, must be done by using the eunuchs around you.

Then Chongzhen said: "The Central Plains Liukou has revived, the war is burning, and now the imperial court is overstretched, and I hope that the Tiance army can relieve the worries of the imperial court." ”

Chongzhen's secret words are that Lao Tzu's 100,000 army is gone, you can watch it! If the Tiance Army does not help the imperial court to suppress the bandits, then the world will be in chaos, and you will also bear the responsibility for the outrages.

Since Lu Xiangsheng left the position of prime minister of the crackdown on thieves last year, his successor Wang Jiazhen has been completely incompetent, and the situation of suppressing thieves, which was already in sight, has undergone a fundamental change.

Wang Jiazhen could not serve the public, and after taking office, due to the unclear rewards and punishments, the armies were slack. The funniest thing is that the soldier who mutinied because of unpaid wages was actually Wang Jiazhen's family.

In October, Li Zicheng rushed out of the mountainous area, embarked on the road of Gao Yingxiang in history, and plunged headlong into Shaanxi. bumped into another fierce man head-on, this person is called Sun Chuanting. Zhang Xianzhong rushed out of the mountains and killed Xiangyang.

Li Zicheng, who rushed into Shaanxi, wandered around, was in stability, was cleaned up by Yu Chongxiao, and went to Yulin again, and was taught a lesson by He Renlong. When he continued to run around his career, he was met by Sun Chuanting, and the result was naturally a process of teaching him how to be a person, and finally Li Zicheng led more than 1,000 people to defeat. His wife also ran away with others, Li Zicheng fled into the mountains, and the rebellion fell into a trough.

I can't help but say that Li Zicheng is a very good character, and his tenacity is really admirable. However, this product seems to have a bad vision when it comes to finding a wife. In other words, because of personality problems, it may also be some problems, anyway, the probability of his wife eloping with someone is very high.

Li Zicheng's original name was Li Hongji, and when he was a child, his family was wealthy, and he had an older brother, Li Hongming. When I was a child, I was very smart, and my grades in private school were very good, but my personality jumped a little and I refused to study hard. Later, his brother hung up, leaving a nephew Li Guo. When he was thirteen years old, his mother died of illness, and since then no one has been able to take care of him, and skipping school has become commonplace. Later, he went to study martial arts, which laid the foundation for his future rebellion career. After Li Zicheng's son Li Shouzhong hung up, he completed the great cause of defeat with an astonishing speed.

Twenty-one-year-old Li Zicheng found himself an errand for a civil servant, a Yinchuan post officer. It is equivalent to a regular employee of China Post now.

In the third year of Chongzhen, the imperial court rectified the post station in order to save expenses, and eliminated tens of thousands of post soldiers, saving a total of about 680,000 taels of silver in more than a year, so tens of thousands of post soldiers were laid off, and Li Zicheng became a laid-off worker.

It turned out later that this mere 680,000 taels of silver was precisely the price of the demise of the Ming Dynasty - due to the reduction of post guards, Li Zicheng was laid off, and he joined the peasant army in anger.

Compared with Li Zicheng, who was continuously taught how to be a man in Shaanxi, Zhang Xianzhong's rebellious career reached a small climax. Zhang Xianzhong, who rushed out of the mountainous area, was happy, plunged into Huguang in one go, and actually went to besiege Xiangyang.

Huguang Governor Miao Yantu is a waste, let Zhang Xianzhong run around in Huguang, if it weren't for the Yangtze River blocking, this goods would have been able to rush across the Yangtze River.

Xiangyang is a majestic city, but the Mongols have been attacking it for eight years. In Xiangyang, Zhang Xianzhong encountered Qin Yiming, this guy is a general soldier, and there are 3,000 stone pillar Tujia soldiers in his hands, it is certain that Zhang Xianzhong can not fight in the field of the city, but he has no problem defending the city. Relying on this bit of family background, he was stunned to hold Xiangyang, and Zhang Xianzhong, who was besieging the city, was forced to abandon Xiangyang and move eastward instead.

Zhang Xianzhong brought together Luo Rucai, Ma Shouying, Liu Guoneng, Scorpion Block and others to experience what it was like to be the boss. More than 200,000 rebels went all the way east to find a place to eat.

Now Zhang Xianzhong's place to eat is Anqing in Jiangbei, which is the area under the jurisdiction of Wang Yue's upcoming governor Yingtian.

Wang Yue said: "The ministers should do their best to eliminate the rogues. ”
