Zhu Zilong stayed in the Ming Dynasty for 5-7 years, and the longer he stayed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He has seen more and more how arrogant and wasteful the old officials and gentry of the Ming Dynasty are in these years......

It is polite to describe them as dead.

On Zhu Zilong's side, there were some speechless things happening, but on the whole, it was a time when victory was in sight.

Inside the city of Nanjing!

As another capital of the Ming Empire, the original Beijing division set by Zhu Yuanzhang also has a magnificent palace city in Nanjing.

It is bounded by the Chengtian Gate, and to the north of the gate is the Forbidden City. Walk through the end gate and the noon gate, and there are three halls of "Fengtian", "Body" and "Huacani" standing in turn.

The east and west sides also have "Wenhua Palace" and "Wuying Palace" respectively, as well as "Wenlou" and "Wulou". Wait a minute!

When it comes to Houzaimen, it belongs to the scope of "Houting". There are many palaces with different names, as well as an imperial garden. It's not as good as the real Forbidden City, but it's not much different either. What's more, the capital is really set in the future, and it can be expanded!

To the south of Miyagi, the Hongwu Gate stretches out. On the east side of the Imperial Road, there are five yamens other than the criminal department, including officials, households, rites, soldiers, and workers, as well as several minor government departments such as the Zongren Mansion, Honglu Temple, Qintianjian, and Tai Hospital.

It's all there!

Even the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, as well as the location of the Yamen such as Jinyiwei, the General Political Envoy, and the Taichang Temple. It's all there!

However, in the end, it is a long time that has been abandoned and idle for 200 years, and even if it is re-inhabited for a few months, it is not as popular as the real Forbidden City. The roof of the castle tower is overgrown with lush trees and weeds, which have obviously not been cleared for many years.

At present, the Nanjing court has a new emperor, but it does not have the support of any other provinces except them.

In the only Wenhua Hall that had been slightly repaired, Emperor Yonghe sat there bored.

He said that he was an emperor on the surface, but as long as anyone who knew a little bit about things, he knew that he was just a puppet.

At this moment, he could only watch with his eyes blank, and the ministers of Nanjing were arguing with each other below.

It can be said that a catastrophe is coming!

It can be said that although the current Nanjing Imperial Court seems to have not been brought to the city by soldiers, the situation is already very bad. I believe that in less than ten days and half a month, the army of the Emperor of the Apocalypse will arrive.

In the fertile soil of the south of the Yangtze River, the huge wealth of thousands of dollars abounds. But that was before!

Because there are many kinds of mulberry trees in the south of the Yangtze River, picking mulberry and raising silkworms, its profit is far better than planting rice. Therefore, in the late Ming Dynasty, the grain output in the south of the Yangtze River was also unsightly, and now it is so messy, after the price burst.

In addition, another military disaster is coming, a group of Donglin scholars, the nozzle cannon is powerful, if they really want to go to war, none of them are useful.

Zhu Zilong's emperor doppelganger came to Wuchang to take over the military and political power of Huguang Province, and at the same time ordered the closure of the river and the prohibition of grain exports from the lower reaches. This move can be said to be a fatal threat to them!

In addition, there are many profiteers who have taken the opportunity to hoard Juqi, create rumors, and hype up wildly...... As a result, when the price of grain was the highest in the Nanjing market, it was once fried to the point that brown rice was twenty taels of silver and one stone!

It's crazy!

There is no source of imports, exports are blocked, Zhu Zilong's trick is really a 6!

Suddenly, textile factories in Suzhou, Songjiang and Wuxi went bankrupt, thousands of citizens lost their jobs, and the sharp rise in rice prices caused a series of rice grabs in the local markets.

This is like the US imperialism in later generations, which carried out economic restraint and military oppression on some countries.

As a result, some small countries collapsed completely, without firing a shot, in a few months.

Nanjing, the current situation is somewhat similar.

Faced with such a severe test, Donglin Shoufu of the Nanjing Imperial Court was anxious for a while.

He wanted to make a difference, but now he realized that their self-righteousness was the biggest reason for their harm. Supporting such an emperor who is not recognized by others at all, without any foreign aid at all.

Nanjing's household department, at this time, even rats, have to cry and move out of the treasury, otherwise they will starve to death. In such a situation, how can there be a reserve of food to stabilize food prices?

Even the food of officials and soldiers is almost deducted, and the combat effectiveness of the army is not worth mentioning.

There is no way, so-called, the rabbit is in a hurry and bites.

As a result, the members of the new cabinet of the Donglin Party wantonly locked up profiteers who were driving up grain prices a few days ago.

It's just that they've only been going on for a few days. The so-called profiteers who speculated on grain prices for huge profits were the big financiers behind the Donglin Party, and as soon as their follow-up measures came out, there was almost a collective rebellion by the courtiers.

Eventually, this policy could only be suspended.

I have to say that the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River are better than their counterparts in the north in terms of their ability to die.

The result of discussion and discussion is to suppress the chaotic people with all their might. But food disaster relief or anything must not be there. The common people starve to death is small, but their wallets and food are big, so do they care if they die?

The Emperor of the Apocalypse is here, it's a big deal to turn around and hug his thighs.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how ruthless he is, he can't be as poisonous as Li Zicheng, and there is always a way to live.

Hehe, this method is really good.

It's speechless!

It is said that the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan. The summoner said: "The people are unbearable! ”

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat, so how can you be undefeated?

…………

In the end, it was Donglin Shoufu who proposed a compromise method to recruit 100,000 troops in Songjiang, Suzhou and other important textile towns. On the one hand, it strengthens its own people, and on the other hand, it is also to give the local unemployed people a way to live, so that they will not gather to riot more and more......

(The high-ranking officials of Donglin are still afraid of death, because even if the Emperor of the Apocalypse will spare the grassroots scholars, the leader will still be killed.) If you can keep it, it's always better if the new emperor doesn't defeat it. ）

It's just that this compromise plan, apparently, is premised on money.

To raise and train 100,000 troops, at least about 5 million taels of silver is needed, but is Nanjing newly state-owned?

As a result, Donglin Shoufu asked the hundreds of officials in the court to donate money, as well as the rich people in the city to donate money.

As soon as they heard that they were asking for money, all the Donglin gentlemen in the court immediately jumped to their feet.

If not, Donglin Shoufu finally came to say, you don't donate money, but in partnership. However, can't you wait until another Li Zicheng, who enters the city to raid his house and kill people, and cheapens outsiders?

Only then did he suppress the officials and continue to die!

However, although the ministers of the palace agreed to donate some money. However, it is difficult for the so-called rich to have good money.

These guys are all masters who don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin, and it is useless to donate less, but to donate more. That would be more distressing than digging up their ancestral graves......

This is a very strange phenomenon, even in the future generations, as long as human countries, will still continue to appear.

Knowing that the crisis of ruining the country is imminent, people in the privileged stage still won't learn any lessons. When the whole family is about to die and the money is gone, they will shout and regret it.

It's like some corrupt officials who continue to die before they are caught. Once they are caught, they regret it and say that they are sorry for the party, the country, and the people, as if they will not die again in the future.

In fact, as long as it is not a death penalty, within a few years, the ugliness will appear again, and it is very likely. Human nature is so speechless, and the power of habit is especially powerful!

Rao is the first assistant of Nanjing Donglin, and he has worn out his mouth. However, on the issue of raising military expenses, the Donglin gentlemen were only very reluctant in the end, donating hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

This amount of money, it is estimated that there will be some corruption in the middle, and if you can train a few soldiers, you will know that there is a ghost who knows!
