Chapter 175: Zhengguo Level
I saw Li Xiuzhu snort lightly, picked up the tea cup on the table casually, and said indifferently: "This must be the prince of the blessed king!" ”
Li Chong and Wu Wei were slightly stunned when they heard this, Wu Wei reacted faster, and said: "Yes, I saw that the noble man was very young, only in his twenties, and he was in line with the appearance of the prince of Fuwang" slapped his right hand on the table and said: "That's right, if it's not the prince, who would dare to use the prince's honor guard?" As he spoke, his mind was spinning rapidly.
The Prince of Fu? Isn't it the Hongguang Emperor Zhu Youxiang who succeeded to the throne in Nanjing after the martyrdom of Emperor Chongzhen?
It is this person in history, after Li Zicheng broke through Luoyang, he left his father and fled, and then went to the south of the Yangtze River, and was down-and-out, until the fall of Beijing, he came to run, and was actually pushed to the supreme position by the ministers left behind in Nanjing and the four towns of Jiangbei, first as a prisoner, and then as the son of heaven!
Although this person has only been in power for less than a year, during which internal and external troubles are frequent, and the ministers are fighting for power and infighting, he is still busy overhauling the palace, selecting beautiful women, and the legend says that in order to prepare aphrodisiacs, he also sent people to catch toads everywhere, known as the toad Son of Heaven, but in any case, he is also a person who has been the emperor!
If you have seen Yang He before, you can be regarded as seeing a deputy state-level leader (the highest in history is the governor of the three sides, which is equivalent to the current commander of the large military region, almost at the ministerial level), then now you have seen the future leader of the country with your own eyes!
Of course, this number one has a lot of water, and the territory of the Southern Ming Dynasty is only the southeast half, not including Sichuan, which is similar to the Chen Dynasty, which was the weakest in history during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. However, unlike Jiangnan at that time, which was not fully developed, Jiangnan in the late Ming Dynasty has become the most densely populated and economically and culturally developed region in the entire Chinese after more than a thousand years of growth and reproduction!
At that time, the four towns of Jiangbei were used to defend Nanjing, Zuo Zhen (Zuo Liangyu) controlled the upstream, and the inside was separated from the southeast by virtue of the Yangtze River, and a pattern of the Northern and Southern Dynasties could be maintained even if it was not good. Moreover, after getting rid of the mess in North China, the national finances of the Southern Ming Dynasty were greatly improved, while the Qing Dynasty after entering the customs lost the fortune of the south of the Yangtze River. Financially effectively bankrupt.
More than 500 years ago. The ancestors of Jianyu suddenly rose between the white mountains and black waters, and in just over ten years, they destroyed the two empires of Song and Liao, the strongest in the world, and were invincible. With this soldier's might. is also helpless against the Southern Song Dynasty like a candle in the wind!
Compared with. If it weren't for Wu Sangui, he opened the door to arrest the thief. Even Shanhaiguan can't get in, compared to the Jin people, the difference is not only in the Dao!
There is no need to be proactive. As long as the gate is guarded, ready for battle, not to mention the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and the Yellow Dragon, it will always be not a problem for this regime to survive, which may be what people thought at that time.
No matter how you look at it, the start of the Southern Ming Dynasty is much better than that of the Southern Song Dynasty in history!
It's just that everyone knows the ending later.
Although the main reason for the fall of Nanming was corruption and infighting, but the so-called Hongguang Tianzi in front of him was a loss of virtue, and the inability to convince the public was also one of the reasons that could not be ignored.
In the end, although he did not end up well, on the way to escape by the rebel Tian Xiong to the Qing court, sent to Beijing to eat a chop, but pity countless creatures with the martyrdom, Yangzhou ten days, Jiading three massacres after the decades, how many loyal and bloody Han men went forward one after another, death did not spin, in the end did not be able to save the luck of the Han civilization
Thinking wildly, Wu Wei's gaze as he looked at the car battle downstairs gradually became complicated.
When he turned his head to look at Li Chong, he saw his father-in-law squinting at the elephant, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
It turned out that at this time, the reputation of this prince was already quite bad, and the Ansai fleet traveled all the way along the Yellow River, and the bitterness of the displaced people was also familiar to hear. Nine times out of ten, the people who fled the famine were forced by the harsh government under the rule of the Fu Domain, and there was a lot of mention of His Royal Highness the prince in their words, all of them gritted their teeth and resented, but where was there any good words!
Although this person is not very old, he has a bad record, not to mention the ordinary cockfighting lackeys, but also begged the immortals to visit the Tao, indulged in the upper room surgery, and there are a group of scoundrels running for it, under the banner of the palace to do evil, bullying the market, or even in broad daylight actually kidnapped the passing woman into the palace, and after the destruction, he had to take money from the master's house to ransom! The palace is powerful, and the government does not dare to manage it, so that everyone in Luoyang is in danger!
Lao Fu Wang's own family is the first son of Tianzi, and he was forced to take the throne in Luoyang, although he is rich in the world, after all, it is a cramped corner, so he turned this full of grievances into a spoiled and spoiled on his precious son, not to mention a little restraint.
The Ming court treated the clans and feudal clans in various places very favorably, as long as they did not rebel, they were just used as a joke after tea and dinner, and if they made a big fuss, they only sent officials to verbally reprimand them, and even if they beat people's lives, they would be punished at most.
This also caused the prince of the Ming Dynasty to commit many wrongdoers, but few were disposed of. The most famous Jing king, Zhu Jianxiao, starved to death his mother, killed his brother and cousin, occupied his brother and daughter-in-law, and often went to the Han River with a group of ruffians to rob the people's daughters
Such a traitorous and evil person has lived on the throne of King Jing for 28 years! If it weren't for the fact that his mother starved to death was too appalling, it angered Emperor Xiaozong, who advocated ruling the world with filial piety, and was finally given death.
King Jing Shuzong is still like this, the Fu Fan is the head of the pro-domain, and the friendship of the court is more important, and it is more and more arrogant and unscrupulous. The old Fu Wang is obese, inconvenient to behave, in recent years, the affairs of the Fu Fan should be more in charge of the prince, this person in addition to all kinds of absurd behavior, greedy for money and good goods is more than the father, strict accumulation, large construction, the year of the famine is not a little sympathetic to the people, a good end of a Luoyang City, originally and Kaifeng things and said, to call Henan the anointed land, was made of the people's livelihood withered, exile scattered, the reason, but more than half of it has to be attributed to the head of this world!
What is particularly appalling is that the people in the territory have been displaced, and this person not only did not give food for relief, but even collaborated with the local government to take the opportunity to recognize more or less familiar land as wasteland and occupy it under his own name. If the bitter master is lucky enough to struggle for his life and return to the township in the future, he will only find that his farm house has already changed its name and surname, and it has become the property of others, how dare the small people compete with it!
If it is the tenant who sees the opportunity and honestly thinks that he is the tenant of the Fuwang Zhuangtian, although he has to be exploited and oppressed by the head of the village, after all, he can barely live, if there is such a stubborn temper, he insists on not complying with the lawsuit, and the palace only handed a piece of paper to the official office, and regarded it as a big crime of banditry, so he lost his life and waited for idle ears!
It is not surprising that the reputation of the prince of Fuwang is so bad that it has attracted everyone's attention, but it is quite strange to swagger through the market in Kaifeng City with such fanfare, what happened to Sha Mo? Thinking of this, Wu Wei couldn't help but glance at Li Xiuzhu, only to see that his face was calm and silent, as if he was a little interested.
For some reason, Wu Wei suddenly felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, but after thinking about it, he didn't know the essentials, so he had to secretly say that this carriage and horse team should hurry up and settle down, and don't make any mistakes.
The honor guard of the happy prince of the king traveled all the way only to make chickens and dogs jump when the road was opened, but there were no more incidents, seeing that the honor guard gradually traveled farther, and the street was bustling again. The shopkeeper on the side had been standing for a long time, and when he saw everyone sitting quietly, he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down, and said with a smile on his face: "What do you want to use?" The shop's roasted noodles with carp, finely chopped fish belly, and steamed lamb are all signature dishes that are famous far and wide! The shopkeeper is fat, but his movements are quite flexible, he has just watched coldly, and he has already seen that Wu Wei and others are from other places, either rich or noble, and their identities are extraordinary.
Wu Wei glanced at him, and pretended to be careless: "Kaifeng is really the largest metropolis in the Central Plains, and today is really an eye-opener." ”
The shopkeeper may have been born in Dr. Tea, and he was very articulate, and said with a smile: "The master is right, we are here in Tokyo Bianliang of the previous dynasty, and I think that Bao Longtu was in our Kaifeng Mansion back then!" Although the villain is shallow, he has seen a lot of scenes like this, since he was a child. ”
He paused for a moment, and said: "The lord doesn't know, this honor guard of the blessed king Chitose is naturally amazing, but it is inferior to our Zhou King Chitose, the four horses of the elephant chariot are not pure color, and the hair on the four hooves of one of them is black, unlike the other three horses are white, obviously used to make up the number, there is a name here called four hooves to collect snow, but it is not allowed to be sloppy." There is still a person holding a saliva next to the elephant chariot, if the Chitose Lord coughs and phlegm or something, does he have to lift the curtain himself? This is also related to the royal family system, the flagpole of the flag that must not be ignored is only more than one zhang, and it is not as good as our thousand-year-old Gao Shicai too many, like the comb, the tiger is not seen, and there is no "The shopkeeper's words are quite complacent, with a well-informed arrogance of the old Kaifeng people, and he said that the head is the way, the mouth is foaming, and everyone in Ansai is dumbfounded.
Wu Wei glanced at Li Xiuzhu, smiled slightly, and was about to speak, when he suddenly faintly heard the sound of crying and noise in the distance, and everyone was stunned. The guard Lao Huang hurriedly stood up, rushed to the railing with an arrow step, looked out, turned to Wu Wei and Li Chongyu and said, "Report to your lordship, it seems that something happened in the direction of the chariot battle." Then he looked at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper also put his hand to look into the distance, and said: "Seeing the situation, what happened when he crossed the earthen bridge?" suddenly sighed and said, "It's not good, it looks like someone fell into the water!" (To be continued......)
