Chapter 720: Zhu Zilong has made another great contribution, and there is no reward?

What was the Xiaoice period of the Ming Dynasty?

Historically, the Xiaoice River period of the Ming Dynasty refers to the late Ming Dynasty. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAt that time, the average annual temperature in China was lower than it is now, and there were major droughts and floods in the summer, and extremely cold in the winter. Not only Hebei, but also Shanghai, Jiangsu, Fujian, Guangdong and other places have experienced heavy snowfall.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, after 1500, the temperature dropped sharply, and some believe that the lowest period was the period at the end of the Ming Dynasty - 1600 to 1644.

This led to almost successive disasters throughout the Ming Dynasty. First Qin and Jin, then Heluo, followed by Qilu, Wuyue, Jingchu, Sanfu, and there was a nationwide drought.

After Chongzhen ascended the throne, the disaster became more serious. According to the records of the Northern and Southern Chronicles, the precursors of the catastrophe can be traced back to the early Jiajing period, and it began to become obvious in the thirteenth year of Wanli (1585)!

During the Xiaoice period, not only northern China was affected, but even Jiangnan was also affected because of abnormal temperatures.

Due to the drop in temperature and the persistence of dry and cold weather, China's agricultural economy has undergone a severe test, as can be seen from the "Reading the World Edition" edited by Ye Mengzhu in the early years of the Qing Dynasty.

The book mentions that citrus in Jiangxi has always been a tribute, and it is widely cultivated in every household. However, during the Shunzhi and Kangxi periods, when the Xiaoice period of the Ming and Qing dynasties was at its peak, oranges were often frozen to death, and the hit orange farmers did not dare to plant oranges again.

Of course, if you think that the Xiaoice Age is a genocide or something, you will think too much.

In fact, just like that, think about how the Qing army survived the Xiaoice River period after entering the pass?

Hehe, just relying on the popularity of cold-tolerant and high-yield crops such as potatoes and corn from afar in China, it is against it.

Do you think that the hanging Zhu Zilong, with the help of modern products, can't fight against the Xiaoice River period?

TM, you're the Great Ice Age, he can handle it for you, okay?

As long as no one comes to sabotage.

Therefore, Zhu Zilong has never been worried about how to deal with these Xiaoice River problems.

Well, it's just what, tens of millions of immigrants went over there to farm, and no one from the landlords in the Central Plains helped them farm, hehe, Zhu Zilong never took it to heart.

In the hearts of scholars in the Ming Dynasty, they all believed that the gentry landlords were the basis for the Ming Dynasty to rule the people. If it hurts the interests of the gentry class, it will inevitably be attacked by the people of the world.

However, Zhu Zilong was eager to say it to them.

When the gentry class was founded, it may have been the foundation of the Ming Dynasty and was a collaborator. But in the late BenQ period, they were just resident worms!

Because of their greed and extravagance, they gave birth to many troubles in the Ming Dynasty. Such a class and foundation, don't do it.

I don't care if they have anyone to help them farm, I only care if there is anyone in the area controlled by Zhu Jiajun to help me farm. When the other people have opinions, as long as I become bigger, come and kill one by one, whoever opposes me and scolds me, I will kill his whole family.

In the days that followed!

Zhu Zilong instructed his own people in Lianyungang and Nanjing to do everything in their power to guide the refugees who had not yet become thieves to come to Shandong, or to take a boat from Lianyungang to Shandong.

In short, if you want people, you want people, you want as many as you want, and if there are traffickers who sell people, it's okay.

Two taels of silver for men, three taels of silver for women, one tael of silver for children, and five taels of silver for middle-aged and elderly people who can reach the point where they are not dead.

After explaining, Zhu Zilong set off for other places.

After Zhu Jiajun defeated Gao Yingxiang at the peak moment, Liukou would usher in a big low ebb. It's obvious!

In fact, when the Zhu Jiajun marched, the wanderers along the way were frightened and ran away quickly.

Even if you go to Shaanxi, you don't want to face the army under Lu Xiangsheng, and you don't want to face the Zhu family's army!

……

Just when the Zhu family army continued to sweep away the thieves.

Comrade Gao Yingxiang also escorted the elite soldiers to the capital, and he was sent quickly for 800 miles on the way, and it was not bad that he did not vomit to death on the road.

It's early morning time again!

Wen Tiren took a group of cabinet ministers, and when he saw that the thief Gao Yingxiang was captured and was escorted into Beijing, his eyes were round on the spot.

After confirming that it was true, he hurriedly reported it to Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen was so excited that he cried on the spot, and he couldn't wipe away his tears, so he stumbled and ran to the queen to report the news. Well, it should be said that she is now the Queen Regent.

Empress Zhang came out when she heard the movement and saw Wang Chengen with tears on her face, and she was shocked at first. However, seeing that he was laughing again, he immediately knew that it was good news, and hurriedly asked: "Wang Daban, but the good news from the front?" ”

Wang Chengen held up the music document in his hand and reported: "Hui Queen Regent's mother, it is indeed a music document from Chuzhou. Several local officials and adults jointly played, Zhu Jiajun broke three or four hundred thousand thieves, and Hou Sheng, the dragon of the four seas, captured the thief Gao Yingxiang, and accompanied Zhang Thief to go with him before being destroyed. ”

After listening to the report, Empress Zhang seemed to be immobilized, her body stiffened, and then she burst into tears!

The palace maid beside her sat down, and then wept and sobbed: "Good, good, good, good Zhu Sihai." Bengong knows, Bengong just knows, he is a great loyal minister. It's the god of war! There are only a few people in the vanguard army of the Zhu family, and they are against hundreds of thousands of thieves. He dared to fight, and he won the fight, and caught the thief Gao Yingxiang. God bless the Ming, God bless the Ming! ”

After saying this, Empress Zhang was full of strength, walked towards her quickly, and muttered as she walked: "God bless Daming, God bless Daming." Come with me to the Cabinet! ”

The young Princess Changping watched this scene from the side, her eyes flashing.

When the queen arrived, the cabinet members knelt down on the spot and chanted the regent Chitose.

Then they deliberated on the matter for a day.

In the end, it was decided to use this matter as an excuse to sue the Taimiao. But wait for the thief to be escorted to the capital and sacrifice his head!

Empress Zhang said again: "As mentioned in the book, this time it is the Four Seas Dragon Marquis who has made great contributions. Lead the people of the headquarters as the forerunner, and break the group of thieves in a battle. Ladies and gentlemen, how do you say that you should reward the Dragon Marquis? ”

As soon as they heard the queen's words, the ministers hurriedly closed their mouths.

All they felt was a pain in their eggs, and there was nothing to reward. Sihai Longhou, said to be a civil official, but in fact, he is essentially a military general, and he has little room to continue to be promoted, and if he is promoted again, he will be at the top. And judging from the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty, there are still many opportunities for him to make meritorious contributions.

When the time comes, there will be no reward, but what can I do?

Reward? The Dragon Marquis of the Four Seas may be the richest man in the Ming Dynasty.

At first glance, the ministers were silent, and the queen also came back to her senses. My heart sank, yes, there was nothing to appreciate.

pondering and pondering, the queen found that unless she was knighted, there was no room for reward.

"Queen Regent, the minister thinks that only by being knighted can he match the merits of the Dragon Marquis." Huang Liji is not a person who is Zhu Zilong, so he immediately proposed.
