Because it is located in the south of the Yangtze River, it is rare to see heavy snow in Nanjing in winter, and even if it snows, it is just a light snow like catkins. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But this year is a bit unusual. In previous years, the snow in Nanjing was a few times before the year, which made people feel like a year ago, but after the year, it was rare to see snow.

But this year is different.

On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the snow began to fall under the sound of firecrackers, and then the snow fell heavier and heavier, and the snowflakes as big as palms slowly swirled in mid-air, but in just a few hours, the snow covered the city of Nanjing. Until the afternoon of the first day of the first lunar month, there was still no sign of the snow stopping. Although the wind stopped, the snowflakes fell quickly and quickly, and all the shops, pavilions, dragon towers and phoenix ques and dense streets and alleys in the entire city of Nanjing were covered with a layer of silver makeup.

In the heavy snow, the clouds in the sky became more and more thick, the clouds were low as if they were about to press to the ground, and the dense snow was no longer a "piece", they formed a "group" in the air, like countless naughty children standing in the sky to play the world, throwing down the soft snowballs...... There is no business in such weather. Almost all shops are back closed. The vendors who had already come out of their stalls packed up their bodies and rushed back.

At this time, the city of Nanjing became a silent world of snow.

"That's not a good sign!"

After this snow fell, some people looked at the flying snow, shook their heads and sighed, of course, some people inevitably said that before Hong Wuye ascended the throne on the fourth day of the first month, it also snowed for three days.

For Zhu Yifeng, who "reluctantly obeys public opinion", that is, reluctantly agrees to the request of public opinion and decides to come out for the benefit of the world, he has been waiting for the day when he will ascend the throne.

Although he was born in a honeypot and grew up in the new century, Zhu Yifeng never pedanticly wanted to establish a republic in 1858, and he did not even consider it even when it was constitutional, at most he only considered how to use old bottles to fill new wine, learn from the modern government system of the West, and revise China's traditional official system, and what was the purpose of the revision?

But only for the sake of maintaining the need to rule, in order to establish the foundation of eternity, well, in order to pass the country into the hands of one's own children and grandchildren - man is always selfish, and the ass always determines the head.

In this regard, Zhu Yifeng can be said to be convinced!

With the arrival of the day of enthronement, Zhu Yifeng's heart was full of expectations and apprehensions, so in the next few days, he could have worked overtime to ease his inner expectations and uneasiness, of course, as the countdown time approached, more and more preparations for war preparations entered the countdown - as the first thing after ascending the throne, was to wave the Northern Expedition, and now the rebel army has begun to assemble to the north, Zhu Yifeng understands that the last moment has come.

Next year, a new China will stand in the East!

Of course, I am the master of this China!

But in this case, Zhu Yifeng's life was quite difficult.

The reason is very simple, the auspicious day of the zodiac to hold the enthronement ceremony was selected on the fourth day of the first month - 472 years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing, which was still "Jiqing", and founded the Ming Empire. Because of this, as an inheritance, as Zhu Yuanzhang's "descendant", Zhu Yifeng may not inherit the "orthodoxy" of the Ming Dynasty, but he will ascend the throne on this day.

However, from the 28th day of the lunar month, Nanjing is full of haze, the sky sank for two days, and finally in the third year of the year, it began to flutter one after another goose feather heavy snow. At first, Zhu Yifeng didn't pay attention to this snow, but it was just a change in the weather.

But for the common people, this snow is a little strange, it seems that before Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, it also snowed heavily for more than ten days, can it be said that this is in accordance with the time of the day. Some scholars said this, and the folk passed it on, but it changed its taste: if Zhu Yifeng can be the master of the world, God will appear on the fourth day of the new year, and the sun will be clear at that time; If not, the gale will make the world aware of it.

And now that the wind and snow are full of snow, it is natural that there will be some people who promise themselves to be "loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty" and say, "Heaven warns that the Zhu family will no longer rule China, and the Lord of the Qing Dynasty will take China as a conformity to the mandate of heaven."

This kind of folk rumor, if others will tolerate it, spread little by little, but for Zhu Yifeng, it is precisely because of this to kill those "loyal ministers", and then exile them to Africa for the crime of "traitor", and if it is Northwest Africa, even the place of exile is divided into three, six, nine and so on, and those who are "extremely evil" will be exiled to the most remote areas.

Perhaps, the person who spoke could be exiled, but in the face of this weather, Zhu Yifeng's whole person became nervous.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, although the snow had stopped, the sky was still overcast, as if it still wanted snow.

On the third day of the first lunar month, Zhu Yifeng was a little breathless, and stayed in the palace garden, which may be the most "local tyrant" in Chinese history, wearing a black Han-style robe, just standing in the Chaotian Pavilion, looking at the sky.

This Chaotian Pavilion is located in the palace, just like any building in the palace - the walls are painted with lacquer, the floor is paved with marble, the doors and windows are pasted with satin, the beams are painted with red, and the pillars are decorated with colorful patterns of birds, beasts, and landscapes. It can really be said that he is full of local arrogance, and because of this, he has long been tired of this palace full of "trenches", and he is thinking about when the new capital will be built, and then move the capital to Zhongjing.

But now he didn't have the leisure to go to see the model of the imperial palace in Zhongjing, just looking at the gloomy sky, worrying about whether the snow would fall again.

Although Zhu Yifeng simply scoffed at the so-called "gas number", he knew very well that people in this era attached importance to the so-called "gas number". If the sky is not clear, even if he ascends the throne on the fourth day of the new year, in the mouth of some people, it is also a "warning from heaven".

"Where are you?"

Zhu Yifeng muttered to himself.

"Come out for me!"

What he shouted was the "thing" that would always appear in his mind inadvertently, until now, Zhu Yifeng didn't know who he was, but in the past few years, he has really helped himself a lot.

After the plague in Guangdong and Hunan provinces, the Western medicine technology in the General Administration of Health can be described as coming by leaps and bounds, especially the innovation of various surgeries and the research and development of drugs. And this is all thanks to the help of that "thing", who brought more advanced Western medicine to this era.

However, now, when Zhu Yifeng needed him, he did not respond.

Seeing that his cries were not answered, Zhu Yifeng recalled the information about artificial rainfall.

"Silver iodide, it should be able to artificially rain, but how to make silver iodide......

In addition to silver iodide, ...... are needed Plane!

Of course, in 1858, there were no airplanes, but the absence of airplanes did not mean that there were no other aircraft - as early as last year, the Army Academy began to make balloons, to be precise, artillery hydrogen balloons for reconnaissance, and perhaps build airships on the basis of them, and then, with silver iodide, artificial snowfall outside the city, so that snow could be avoided inside the city.

Of course, all this is just imagination.

Because it takes a lot of technology and time to do this, it's too late!

Do you really have to wait for others to spread that you "do not follow the destiny of heaven and go against the sky"?

This would not dare to disturb him with a gloomy face, and those female officials who were accustomed to living cautiously under Hong Xiuquan's knife and stick hung their heads even more, and no one went upstairs.

But it doesn't mean that no one has passed, Xu Lingyun, who was wearing a Chinese-style Confucian skirt, stepped on the wooden ladder and went upstairs, looking at her husband, and slowly walked over.

"Xianggong, are you worried about the weather?"

Zhu Yifeng, who had a gloomy face, nodded, now he was not even in the mood to ask about anything other than the weather, and he was not even the slightest interested in the matters related to the Northern Expedition, which he was most concerned about in the past.

In his opinion, that was not a problem at all. Military issues, not a problem at all. Now the real problem is the weather!

"Xianggong, do you really care so much about the destiny of heaven?"

Xu Lingyun asked curiously, his father-in-law was not like this in the past.

"I don't care, but some people are very concerned, Lingyun, you must know that there are many people now, who are preparing to take advantage of this weather to open up for the Manchus!"

Thinking that those widows and young who promised themselves to be "loyal ministers" would oppose the new dynasty in the future on the grounds of "not accepting the mandate of heaven", Zhu Yifeng couldn't help but say coldly.

"I'm not worried about them saying that, I'm worried that in the future there will really be people who believe their nonsense."

That's where it matters!

For Zhu Yifeng, who was convinced that he could only be compared with Zhu Yuanzhang in the right position, he had to face a worse situation than Zhu Yuanzhang had at that time - because the Manchus had enslaved China for 214 years, and in the hearts of many people the Manchus were orthodox.

And the weather is very likely to become their weapon, a weapon used to attack the new dynasty "not to the mandate of heaven"!

"Sooner or later, they'll have to clean it all up!"

"Xianggong, this is not like you!"

Hearing the strong killing intent from her husband's words, Liu Lingyun couldn't help but be startled, and snuggled into his arms when she spoke, this embrace was a safe place she was obsessed with.

"You once said that there is no destiny in this world, and the so-called destiny lies in the people! What the people wish is the true destiny of heaven. ”

Looking back at her husband, Xu Lingyun's smart eyes flashed with trust and admiration.

"Xianggong, I remember you once said, what the people want, keep it in mind, what the people want, listen respectfully, the country can be safe, since the country can be safe, the destiny of heaven will naturally belong to you, what are you afraid of this so-called providence?"

His wife's answer made Zhu Yifeng dumbfounded, looking at Lingyun in his arms, he couldn't help but sigh often. This sentence is indeed what I once said, but this is just talk, after all, it is the ass that decides the head, and besides, even a hundred years later, similar words are just words.

Looking at his wife's gaze, Zhu Yifeng didn't want to break the innocence in her heart, Lingyun was like a girl who didn't grow up, always preserving her innocent side, perhaps, this is the reason why she has always been doting on her, when she is with her, she can always bring her best side.

In contrast, Rong Minghui has never given herself this feeling, maybe Rong Minghui is very shrewd, but she seems to be too smart. As an assistant, she is a good assistant, but as a wife...... But if it were her, how would she persuade herself?

Thinking of Rong Minghui, who has been meditating and recuperating because she is pregnant, Zhu Yifeng can think of what she will say,

She would have persuaded herself that there was no destiny at all!

Even if there is a mandate of heaven, it is only a humane "mandate of heaven"!

Moreover, even with the so-called "Mandate of Heaven".

It's a big deal, just go against the sky!

Thinking silently about how Rong Minghui would comfort himself, he saw that the sky was snowing again, and at this time, looking at the fine snowflakes, he felt a little dazed, and he didn't even notice that he inadvertently hugged his wife in his arms, but he was doubting in his heart.

Are you really going against the sky?

At the moment when this thought poured out, Zhu Yifeng's brows tightened suddenly.

Against the sky!

Could it be that the Manchu Qing Dynasty still has a few decades of qi?

No!

No way, there has never been any gas count. Even if there were, it was shattered by itself.

Against the sky!

What is the biggest rebellion? Is it to overthrow the Manchus themselves? Of course not!

The biggest rebellion is that I came to this era, and since I exist in this era, it is against the sky. So isn't it what you should do to go against the sky?

Suddenly, looking at the lead-colored sky, his gaze instantly became resolute.

Even if Lao Tzu wants to go against the sky, what can you do to get me!

Yes, you can help me!

Laughing and paying attention to looking at the day, looking at the snow flying in the sky, this time, he was no longer as worried as before, and he no longer needed to think about the so-called providence, the so-called mandate of heaven, and the so-called number of qi.

Don't say that these things are all non-existent, even if there is something that can be done.

Providence is greater than guns!

Destiny is no bigger than a butcher's knife!

When he entered the customs of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was it providence? Of course not, how could it be the mandate of heaven for him to stabilize the country in the Manchu Dynasty? Of course not! They relied on the army, on the butcher's knife!

In this way, they have stabilized the country!

In fact, the founding kings of all dynasties and dynasties have never relied on the so-called "Mandate of Heaven", and what they have relied on has always been strength.

As long as they have enough strength, then the "Mandate of Heaven" will naturally come to them. Yes, the so-called "Mandate of Heaven" is nothing more than a play on words played by the royal literati there.

How many emperors are really "sons of heaven" and are really "ordered by heaven"?

No, there has never been one!

In this case, what is the big deal about this so-called "Mandate of Heaven".
