readx; Qi Xianzong was not right at all, just one day later, three emergency military information were sent to the Yangxin Palace of the Forbidden City in Beijing at the same time, waiting for the young emperor Zhu Youzhen to take a look. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info like this kind of "top secret" level of flying pigeon biography, as usual, the red lady first sent to the heart palace, Zhu Youzhen personally approved before it can be transferred to the cabinet, so for the time being, no official knows.

After learning from the cold and cold, the ship is not a place

At this time, Zhu Youzhen was not in the palace. Since the end of the Yuan Reform Ceremony, Zhu Youzhen has been like this almost every day: he attends court meetings or summons officials in the early morning and morning, goes out of the palace in the afternoon to observe the people's situation, and returns to the palace in the evening to review the recitals until late at night. It happened to be afternoon at this time, and according to the schedule arranged by the secretariat, Zhu Youjian went out of the city to hunt in Xishan.

In fact, at such a critical moment in the counterinsurgency war, Zhu Youzhen, as the supreme ruler of the Ming Empire, should sit in the palace and deal with the military situation in a timely manner. The reason why he has to leave the palace so often is that he really has unspeakable hardships. The biggest difficulty we are facing now is that we are running out of food!

After Kokokoko, the enemy hated by the cold

In fact, Zhu Youzhen has always attached great importance to the issue of grain, as early as when Shaanxi was the king of Qin, he established a strategic reserve, the most important reserve material is grain. Since then, he has been making every effort to increase reserves and increase grain production, including a series of measures such as planting new crops on a trial basis in domestic and foreign trade, building water conservancy, and confiscating the property of criminal officials after ascending the throne and checking the Huangzhuang.

Helplessly, the mess Zhu Youzhen faced was really full of holes, and his luck was really bad. Originally, according to the military household system, the local guard office officials and soldiers solved the food by themselves, and the imperial court was only responsible for supplying food to the border army. However, due to the fact that the system of the guard post existed in name only, a large number of military households fled their homes, and a large part of the grain production was reduced, and most of the rest was sold to grain merchants by the governors, resulting in the food supply of the guards and soldiers also became a problem, and the imperial court had to solve part of it. Not to mention the border armies in Liaodong and other places, it is simply a bottomless pit, and there is not enough food to fill it.

Despite this, Daming is rich in resources, and if the wind and rain are smooth, relying on the land endowment of the people's fields, it can still maintain its operation. However, in recent years, natural disasters have been repeated, either major drought or heavy snow, or locust plague, resulting in a sharp decrease in field endowment, and it has not caught up with sixty percent in the early years of Wanli. The peasants rebelled and became thieves because they could not eat, and the thieves destroyed production in more places, resulting in greater food shortages, and such a vicious circle was formed.

As if Zhu Youzhen was not unlucky enough, from the autumn of the sixth year of the Apocalypse to the present, first the Manchu Eight Banners entered the customs, and then Zhu Changxun's father and son colluded with the White Lotus Sect and the thieves to rebel, which made the shortage of food worse. Although Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting made good progress on the battlefield, they found that the local food had been swept away by the rebels everywhere they recovered, and not only could they not supply them on the spot, but they also had to find ways to help the local people, otherwise they would starve to death. There was grain in the Jiangnan area, but the road for transporting grain from the south to the north was cut off by thieves, and all of them were stuck in Nanjing, and Zhu Youzhen had to grit his teeth to transport grain from Beijing to the front line.

However, Jingshi was originally a place where a large amount of grain was consumed, so Zhu Youzhen had no choice but to take decisive measures to forcibly implement grain control in Jingshi, which was a rationing system to put it bluntly. The common people say that it is enough to eat; But those dignitaries and grain merchants didn't feel distressed when they saw that the household and military departments were pulling away a large amount of grain they had hoarded with only a holy decree from the emperor and an IOU that they didn't know when they could cash in? And the courtiers who speak for these people, can they not fiercely oppose Zhu Youzhen? These days, Zhu Youzhen is almost buried in the chapters, and at least six or seven of the ten chapters must ask the court to return the grain as soon as possible.

In this case, Zhu Youzhen had no choice but to put down his body and frequently go out of the palace to visit those big grain sellers, explaining that he was not a rogue emperor, no matter how much grain he borrowed, the notes were there, and he would definitely have to pay it back. The emperor personally went out, of course, no one dared to collide with him in person, which was considered to have temporarily suppressed the situation. However, the situation of rapid grain consumption has not changed at all, and the strategic reserve that Zhu Youzhen has worked hard to accumulate for several years has basically bottomed out.

The back land is not the enemy's enemy, and the enemy is cold

Zhu Youzhen knows that in this most difficult moment, the most important thing is confidence. In order to boost the morale of the people of Jingshi, he often appeared on the streets of Jingshi, sometimes on official trips, sometimes in plain clothes. Whenever I saw the emperor, especially the emperor, although he was young and promising, but amiable, so sympathetic to the people, the citizens were excited, and no matter how hard life was, they didn't feel anything.

If it was in the past, it would be unthinkable: the emperor lived in the nine-fold palace, how could he leave the palace casually? Even a year ago, Sun Chengzong and other old ministers would try their best to persuade them. But now it is different, first, Zhu Youzhen has completely taken the "freedom of travel" into his own hands by reorganizing the city defense of the Beijing Division; The second is that the ground in Jingshi is also very safe, not to mention robbers and bandits, even hooligans and ruffians are very rare; The third is that Zhu Youzhen has just replaced several cabinet ministers by thunderous means, and the emperor's prestige is flourishing, and those annoying officials have sent him out of Beijing a lot, and the resistance of public opinion is much smaller.

The enemy is the enemy, the enemy is the enemy

As for going hunting in Xishan today, it was not Zhu Youzhen's whim, or he wanted to rely on hunting to show the emperor's "martial arts". In order to make up for the shortage of food in Beijing, Zhu Youzhen mobilized the soldiers of the three major battalions to organize a large-scale hunting operation in the Xishan area, which has lasted for more than a month.

In this era, man's destruction of the environment has begun to be revealed, but it is not yet as obvious as in previous lives. In mountainous areas such as Wanpingfangshan, Yanqing and other places, wildlife resources are still very abundant. Common beasts include wolves, foxes, wild boars, hares, green sheep, roe deer, macaques, etc., as well as fierce beasts such as tigers, leopards and bears. There are more than 100 species of birds, the most common being pheasants. The so-called "relying on the mountains to eat the mountains", but there are hunters in all mountain villages, but the scale of hunting is very small.

Originally, Zhu Youzhen didn't plan to attack these wild animals, but now there is no way, people are almost unable to eat, how can they manage so much. A large animal like a wild boar is several hundred catties at a time, which is enough for a company of soldiers to eat a good meal and save a lot of food. In the past month or so, countless wild animals have been killed tragically, and Zhu Youzhen came to participate only to better mobilize the morale of the soldiers. As for the ecological catastrophe caused by this, we can only wait until we get through this difficulty.

However, after receiving the urgent report of the military situation, Zhu Youzhen was no longer in the mood to hunt. He immediately flew back to the Forbidden City, and as soon as he entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, before his ass could sit firmly, he took the secret letter and read it carefully. At half an hour, Zhu Youzhen was already excitedly shouting: "Okay! Can you put down the rebels in one fell swoop, in one fell swoop! Quickly send the ministers to the Heart Palace! ”

The enemy is far away, and the enemy ball is detected by Yang Leng
