"It's not surprising to think about it, after all, comparing the land, resources and population of the Ming Dynasty and the Houjin, they are not above the same magnitude at all, if it weren't for the continuous natural disasters and man-made disasters on the Ming Dynasty's own side, how could the Qing army in history enter the Central Plains?" Lin Yi analyzed Xiao Mu, and then continued to return to the question she had just asked, "What I just said, who is this 'Zheng Zhilong', not what is written in a hurry. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"What does that mean?" Xiao Mu naturally agrees with Lin Ye's analysis of the first half of the period, after all, if there were not so many natural and man-made disasters in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming court would not have perished so quickly, and it was also because of this continuous, even simultaneous and various disasters, that the later Qing army's entry into the Central Plains became an "unexpected and reasonable" regrettable reality. However, as for the second half of Lin Yi's sentence, Xiao Mu didn't understand what it meant to be "not written on the urgent delivery", Xiao Mu felt that the content on the urgent delivery was written very clearly, and there was no "extraneous meaning".

"That is to say, this Zheng Zhilong has almost wiped out the entire Fujian Navy Division of the Ming Dynasty, how can he be a somewhat famous figure in history, you haven't heard anything about this person before you crossed?" Lin Yi finally asked clearly, and now Xiao Mu finally understood what it meant to "not write on the urgent delivery".

"You also know, I don't study history, I know Yuan Chonghuan and Xu Guangqi are already amazing, as for this Zheng Zhilong, I have really never heard of it." However, although he understood what Lin Yi meant, it was a pity that Xiao Mu had not heard of such a number one person as Zheng Zhilong in history, so he gave a negative answer, and then Xiao Mu asked rhetorically, "Have you heard of him?" ”

"If I'd ever heard of it, I wouldn't need to ask you." Lin Yi also gave a negative case with great regret, "You also know, I study ancient literature, so I can still know some historical figures who can be a little bit on the same page as literature, but this Zheng Zhilong is a pirate leader, no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with literature, how can I have heard of him?" Besides, if I really want to know, why should I ask you? ”

"Then why do you think I'll know about this character?" Xiao Mu continued to ask, obviously a little puzzled by Lin Yi's sudden confidence in him.

"Let's put aside the relationship between friend and foe, how can this Zheng Zhilong be considered a fierce man, right? I think that such a character who can defeat the Great Ming Water Master should always have some fame, and you can more or less know a little bit about it, so I asked you with such an attitude of trying to see. Lin Yi replied, it turned out that she just asked Xiao Mu as if she was looking forward to hitting the luck, but in fact, she didn't have any special expectations.

"Okay, it seems that you and I have never heard of this Zheng Zhilong, and it seems that he should not have done anything too famous in history, so in this case, this person may not be so difficult to deal with." Xiao Mu started from the fact that he and Lin Yi didn't know anything about Zheng Zhilong in history, and after reasoning and judgment, he finally came to the conclusion that "Zheng Zhilong may not be as difficult to deal with as he imagined".

Of course, this inference has no causal relationship with the conclusion itself, and Zheng Zhilong, as the largest maritime power on the East Asian coast in the seventeenth century, played a pivotal role in history, but Xiao Mu and Lin Yi did not know this fact because of their limited knowledge. However, the fame of this Zheng Zhilong's son is much greater than his, and Xiao Mu and Lin Yi are all aware of it - after all, Zheng Chenggong's recovery of Taiwan is a story that Xiao Mu has heard since he was a child.

And Lin Yi, although when Xiao Mu mentioned Qian Qianyi, pointed out the fact that Zheng Chenggong was Qian Qianyi's student, she also regretted not knowing that Zheng Chenggong was also Zheng Zhilong's son, and the reason for this was because Qian Qianyi was a writer and Zheng Zhilong was a pirate.

"I think so too." I don't know if it's really "the hero sees the same thing", or in order to give Xiao Mu the atmosphere that has been extremely low and weak since he saw the urgent delivery, and the cold has not recovered Xiao Mu's atmosphere, Lin Yi also agreed with Xiao Mu's conclusion that "Zheng Zhilong is not difficult to deal with", "In comparison, the flood in Zhejiang is more tricky." ”

Lin Yi's second half of the sentence successfully offset, and even exceeded the confidence that her first half of the sentence brought to Xiao Mu, Xiao Mu looked even lower than just now, "Yes, this is the time and space of the Ming Dynasty, with the level of socio-economic and scientific development of this time and space, even if the imperial court makes every effort to provide disaster relief, it is bound to be impossible to ensure that all the affected people have food, and considering that the treasury is always empty, the imperial court simply does not have enough money for disaster relief, and such a serious flood comes down, I don't know how many people died not because they drowned directly because of the flood, but because they had no food to eat and no place to live, and finally lost their lives. ”

"And there is another point, the medical level of this time and space in Daming is also 108,000 miles away from later generations, there is no most basic common sense of disinfection and sterilization, there is not enough medical treatment and medicine to resist the plague after the flood, and many people are bound to die because of this." Although Lin Yi did not want Xiao Mu to continue to be depressed, she pointed out a very regrettable and impossible to ignore fact - the number of people who died from the plague after the flood was obviously no less than the number of people who starved to death because they had no food to eat.

"Hey, now I finally understand the difficulties of Emperor Chongzhen in the original history." Xiao Mu rubbed his head weakly, feeling that everything was like a mess, "I thought that if I returned all the political affairs to the cabinet and came to the sect to handle them, I would be able to escape, but when this kind of major event really happened, it was impossible for me, the emperor, to escape, obviously the case of Zhangjiakou businessmen colluding with Huang Taiji had just ended, and there was a battle on the grassland, but there were no two days of peace, and there were two more big bad news." ”

"That's right!" What Xiao Mu didn't expect was that his cathartic negative words were exchanged for Lin Yi's extremely excited response, in exchange for a good idea, "I forgot if you didn't talk about Zhangjiakou, obviously Zhangjiakou arrested so many businessmen like Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku who fornicated with Huang Taiji, and confiscated their family wealth, isn't it just right to use it to help those victims who were affected by the flood?" ”
