Emperor of the Earth, Zhu Youzhen.

Zheng Yuelin repeated this term in her heart, extremely happy, "That concubine is Zheng Yuelin, the concubine of the earth." ”

The biggest difference between a person at the age of twenty-eight and when he is eighteen years old is not that he is old, but that his heart is old, and the age of thirty is actually a man's menopause, because when a man reaches this age, he will suddenly find that he has entered middle age, and a man's youth is always very short, and he usually finds that he has achieved nothing and has made no contribution at this age.

Zhu Youzhen hugged Zheng Yuelin tightly, "The biggest achievement I have made in the past ten years may be to marry you, thank you for your concubine, if it weren't for you, I estimate that I am still working hard with Huang Taiji Li Zicheng and them, and I am still trying my best for the victims of the country, even if there are still many disaster victims, but the national strength will not reach the point of being completely powerless." ”

Zheng Yuelin's face turned red, "The concubine doesn't dare to be, if outsiders hear this, will the concubine still live?" The contribution of the queen was even greater. Without an enlightened and generous queen, there is no way for concubines to stay in the palace. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded, "Yes, you, I, and the queen, the three of us are the iron triangle of the Daming Inner Palace." ”

Zheng Yuelin was used to the emperor often coming up with new terms that she had never heard before, but she was still amused by such a strange term as the Iron Triangle. When she was with the emperor, Zheng Yuelin was happy every minute.

The next day, Zhu Youzhen left quietly without alarming anyone. He didn't want to be sent to the palace. I don't want to alarm the ministers.

The warship of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was at the same time as the warship of Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan. The two of them are not the same warship, Zhu Youzhen's warship is the Daming, in the process of getting on the ship, and in the process of sailing on the sea, he has never seen Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan again, it seems that he is very strict to fulfill what he said, I saw Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan yesterday, and it may be the last time we will meet in this life.

A cloudy sky hung over the battleship. Shows a chaotic world waiting for the Creator to open up the world.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's black cloak hunted in the sea breeze, everyone was far away from the emperor, Zhu Youzhen generally didn't like people to get close to him, he stared at the sky, he was talking to his heart.

The sky gradually brightened, Zhu Youzhen didn't look back, didn't look to the side, just stared at the stratus clouds in the distance, so it was about more than three hours, more than three hours. Zhu Youzhen was motionless, like a sculpture. The image of the entire Ming Empire gradually became clear in Zhu Youzhen's heart. He seems to have realized what the world will be like when it is ruled by itself, and that scene is enough to intoxicate any man in the world, worthy of ten thousand beauties, and tens of thousands of beauties bring a man's refreshing feeling.

Zhu Youzhen suddenly turned around, behind him were more than 70 armed eunuchs such as Yang Qicong, these more than 70 people have not increased or decreased in seven or eight years, and Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of Chongzhen, went out hundreds of times, and no one was injured. It is a miracle and a myth that no one has been injured in a hundred battles.

There are also Xu Guowei and Chen Yuanyuan, Xiong Jiahui, as well as Chen Xinjia and Chen Qiyu and other senior chiefs of staff of the empire.

Zhu Youzhen's spirit was extremely invigorated, his snow-white gloves were raised, and he gave everyone a standard Ming Empire military salute.

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly knelt down, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

It's a very comical scene, with a military salute on one side, a very modern etiquette, and on the other hand, a kneeling salute, the most traditional courtier's courtesy to the emperor to show their submission and respect, all at the same time.

Zhu Youzhen said calmly and loudly, "It's all flat!" The Daming continued to Japan, and the others followed me on board! This day will go down in history. Xu Guowei, as my special envoy, continued to go to Japan, and when someone asked, they said that I was here, and I didn't want to see anyone for the time being. ”

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he personally boarded the helicopter gunship, the most advanced aircraft of the Ming Dynasty, or one of the most advanced aircraft in the world in modern times.

Everyone didn't dare to ask more, boarded the plane quickly, and was a little crowded, but it was just crowded with the armed eunuchs in the infield. The six seats in front are Gao Dewei, the main pilot, Zhu Youzhen, the co-pilot, and then Chen Qiyu, Chen Xinjia, Chen Yuanyuan, Xiong Jiahui, and the rest are crowded in the cabin, this plane is concentrated with hundreds of people, except for more than 70 armed eunuchs in the field, and more than 30 accompanying senior staff officers are equal to the highest center of the Ming Empire's army.

On the plane, Zhu Youzhen didn't speak again, quickly wrote a telegram, handed it to Chen Xinjia, and then closed his eyes and recuperated, not even dreaming.

Chen Xinjia read the message, sweat broke down on his forehead, and hurriedly took it to the senior staff behind him to send a message, which was sent to the Northeast Army.

An airplane appears and disappears through the clouds and fog. The great army of welcoming people on land was looking up and waiting. Sun Chuanting of the Supreme General Headquarters of the Northeast Army received the telegram, how dare he slack off, and the 50,000 most elite fully mechanized troops were already lined up.

It took only four hours to fly from North Korean waters to the northeast. In the era of the Ming Dynasty, this is equivalent to the flight of immortals.

The plane finally landed, the hatch opened, and Zhu Youzhen fell from the sky, and suddenly, cheers resounded in the sky.

The scene on the parade ground, a large number of armored combat vehicles lined up neatly, 50,000 well-trained field troops capable of fighting are mighty and majestic, and more than 40 simple gliders, which are the earliest planes in human history, 200 years earlier than the original history. And it is about to be used in actual combat for the first time.

Then, Zhu Youzhen's favorite Ming royal military music played.

Sun Chuanting quickly stepped forward and bowed, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

The army echoed in unison, "Long live my emperor, long live my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled and beckoned to everyone, "The historic moment of the empire's northward expansion has come!" This time it was the Air Force that took the lead, and the 50,000 officers and men of the First Army plunged straight into Lake Baikal from the ground, and held it there without stopping. I ask you to occupy the entire area south of Lake Baikal within a month. ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live. Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Although everyone did not understand why the emperor had ordered the army to withdraw to Heilongjiang not long ago. So soon he personally went to the front line to reorganize the army and let the army fight back?

Zhu Youzhen knew why, because he had all kinds of spies on Huang Taiji's side, and Huang Taiji also had all kinds of spies on his side, even if Huang Taiji did not have the most advanced radio system, he could also get the transfer of the Ming Central Army within three days. He didn't want to capture the old man or anything, because no matter how the Ming army moved, Huang Taiji never had the courage to fight with him.

Huang Taiji is Zhu Youzhen's old opponent. Huang Taiji inherited his father's will and wanted to enter the Central Plains to replace the rule of the Ming Dynasty. After ascending the throne, when the "state family was not consolidated", on the one hand, he adopted a peace strategy against the Ming court, and at the same time, he repeatedly entered the customs and plundered a large number of people, animals, and property in the Han land.

In order to relieve his worries, he sent troops to Korea twice to unify Mongolia and the Heilongjiang River Valley. After consolidating his internal rule and basically eliminating the threat from Korea and Inner Mongolia, he was proclaimed emperor in the fifth lunar month of 1636 (the tenth year of Tiancong). The country was named "Daqing" and changed to Chongde. Changed the name of the tribe to Jurchen to Manchuria. Later, the main forces were used in the war against the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Taiji rushed to aid the battle of Songjin with illness, commanded the Qing army to fight a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty, and was defeated by the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, who commanded the central army of the Ming Dynasty, and Hauge Dolgon and other important heirs were killed.

After Huang Taiji escaped from Siberia, his body gradually recovered, even if he was driven to a dead end by Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, Huang Taiji as an excellent politician in history, personal willpower still helped him at this time, he was able to miraculously recover his health, and after Da Yuer followed Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen to Beijing, he could still regain his strength, this courage inspired the remaining more than 100,000 Manchurian elite iron horsemen and more than 500,000 people who followed Huang Taiji, it can be said that The successive fiascos still did not push the Manchus to a dead end, and as long as the leader did not die, it was not easy for a force to perish immediately.

After Huang Taiji arrived in the Russian region, he faced a very severe situation. Externally, it was isolated and surrounded by the central army of the Ming Dynasty. Internally, due to the contradictions between the aristocratic decentralization forces, the conflict became increasingly severe. Huang Taiji gradually re-established the state ruling body to replace the state power exercised by the Eight Banners system, and through guò this political power structure, he firmly concentrated power in his own hands. In the process of fleeing, he abolished the original Eight Banners system, which should be one flag, and the other seven flags were abolished, further expanding his actual strength, winning many wars with the Russian princes, and actually integrating into the Russian state system.

Huang Taiji also promulgated regulations that enabled a large number of Han slaves to obtain the status of "people's households". As a result of these efforts, agriculture has developed to a great extent, grain has basically been self-sufficient, and social contradictions have been eased.

Huang Taiji strengthened the central position of the Imperial Court and gave them the power to inspect a qiē official. There was a Qing generation, and the combination of Manchu and Mongolian was closer than that of Manchu and Han. In order to deal with Mongolian affairs, the Mongolian yamen was set up, and it was changed to the Imperial Domain. The original six departments and the Metropolitan Procuratorate constitute the famous Eight Yamen. Huang Taiji appointed Manchurian, Mongolian, and Han Chinese to serve as the undertaker, with three people from each department, and the following all participated in politics. The official system of the eight yamen was changed, and each yamen had only one person in charge of Manchuria, and the following officials were appointed to participate in politics, directors, deputy directors, and directors, and so on, from the second class to the fifth class. This strengthened the ruling power of the state headed by him.

Huang Taiji consolidated and expanded his rule in Russia on the original basis, and made full preparations for entering the customs to rule the whole of China. Immediately after he arrived in Russia, the protection of land and livestock was stipulated as a legal code, and crops were not allowed to be stolen in the field, and sows were not allowed to be killed, which was for breeding. It is not permissible to kill horses or oxen for sacrifice or to sell them. Since then, almost every year, he has regarded the supervision of farming as an important activity, and has proposed that "agricultural time should not be lost" and "those who waste agriculture are guilty". He knew that the five grains were the destiny of all the people, so he repeatedly stressed that there should be no shortage of grain in the Qing Dynasty before entering the customs, which was inseparable from this effort. Handicraft production has also made great progress.

Huang Taiji ordered the scholar Xifu to lead a large delegation of eight merchants and the family members of Niu Lu Zhangjing and above to Moscow for trade. Actively integrate and co-opt the Russian states.

Huang Taiji, however, still paid attention to easing the social contradictions of the Qing Dynasty. He ordered his subordinates to do a good job of "raising people", especially to settle the newly plundered or surrendered Manchurians, Mongols, and Han Chinese. In Huang Taiji's later years, his sons and nephews complained in front of him that Taizu killed the Han people, and now the Han people are the kings and the people of Angbang Zhangjing. However, the Manchurian clan had officials. There are those who serve the people. "The times are reversed, and that's it!" But Huang Taiji did not shake his national policy because of this.

When Huang Taiji vigorously implemented reforms at home, he did not abandon the policy of his father Khan Nurhachi's foreign expansion. He ordered the army to build a red-coat cannon with lethal power, and to transform a single cavalry unit into a multi-arm army of cavalry, artillery, and infantry. Huang Taiji attached great importance to the role of Han landlords and intellectuals and the Ming Dynasty's demoted officials and generals, and adopted a policy of recruiting and buying them. Not only did he take the examination for Confucian scholars, but he also recruited more than 200 Han literati, and he held many examinations since then. Distinguish between the good and the bad, and only hire by quantity. A large number of generals were given farmland, slaves, and horses, and were entrusted with official positions. The Ming generals Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, Shen Zhixiang and others voluntarily came to vote for the king and marquis, and they were favored. With the submission of Mongolia and the submission of the generals of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji gradually established the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Army, which greatly enhanced the military strength.

In 1605, Godunov died suddenly, and Russia entered an "era of chaos". This period of turmoil did not finally end until Minin and Pozharsky of Nizhny Novgorod led the militia to drive the Polish invading army out of Moscow.

Romanov dynasty. In 1613, the Romanov dynasty was founded.

Mikhail. Fedorovich. The Romanov was the first tsar of the Romanov dynasty in the Russian Empire, which had been worshiped for more than 300 years.

Mikhail is considered a founding king. But he was able to ascend the throne not because of his martial arts, but because of the election of the All-Russian Gentry Congress, and it was the result of more accidental factors than inevitable factors, and most importantly, he was forced to be the tsar against his own will.

Mikhail was a 16-year-old boy at the time, and his name was unknown before. If you count according to the genealogy, Mikhail can also be regarded as an imperial relative, and has some connections with the Rurik dynasty: he was the first wife of Ivan the Terrible, that is, the grandnephew of the Empress Anastasia. In addition, the Romanov family also won the love of Russians and gained a certain reputation because of their unyielding actions in the "chaotic era" of Russia's internal and external troubles. At that time, Godunov forcibly put Mikhail's father, that is, Fyodor. Romanov was forcibly sent to a convent, became a priest, and changed his name to Father Filaret; Later, Pseudo-Dimitri II plundered Father Filaret and appointed him Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church; After Poland was driven out of Moscow by the rebel armies of Minin and Pozharsky, Patriarch Filaret refused to cooperate with the Polish king Sigmund and made no concessions on national interests, and was arrested by the Polish army and imprisoned for a long time.

On February 21, 1613, the All-Russian Synod, the All-Russian Syndicate, elected Mikhail. Romanov as tsar. After the election of the new tsar, Russia officially ended its three-year state of absence, and also marked the end of a phase of Russia's "interregnum period".

Mikhail was elected Tsar, and the whole city of Moscow swore allegiance to him, and later sent edicts to all Russian cities announcing the birth of a new tsar, and the emissaries of Moscow accepted the oath of allegiance from the people in the churches of the people. At the same time, Moscow organized a solemn mission to Mikhail's fiefdom Kostroma to welcome him to Moscow to ascend the throne.

July 11, 1613 was Mikhail's seventeenth birthday, and it was on this day that he officially ascended the throne as Tsar of Russia.

In 1614, Zarutsky and Marina. Mnyshek was captured by the tsar's army. In order to cut off the troubles, the great nobles ordered the Tsar to hang Marina's four-year-old son on the gate of the Serpukhov fortress, Zarutsky was beheaded, and Marina. Mnyshek was thrown into prison. She later died in prison. At that time people team Marina. The general impression of Mnyshek was that she was a cult and a formidable witch. After her death, someone cursed the Romanovs, saying that Mikhail would get retribution for ordering the killing of young children. Three hundred years later, the last prince of the young dynasty, Alexei, and the family of Tsar Nicholas II were shot dead.

In 1617, Sigmund III sent Vladislav to attack Moscow in an attempt to seize the Russian Tsar's throne by force. In September 1618, Vladislav began an assault on the city of Moscow, but was repulsed by the defending army. In the ensuing battle, the Polish army suffered heavy losses and was forced to abandon military operations and start negotiations with Russia instead. In the end, the two countries signed a fourteen-year treaty, in which Russia ceded large swathes of territory to Poland, but Poland recognized Mikhail as the Russian Tsar.

Year 1619. Mikhail's father. Patriarch Filaret was released by Poland. Returned to Russia. Mikhail's edict stipulated that Patriarch Filaret was treated the same as the Tsar, and that Filaret's order was equivalent to the Tsar's edict, and that the Patriarch became the de facto Emperor. After that, Patriarch Filaret gradually seized real power and began to rule Russia with an iron fist. In the end, Patriarch Filaret squeezed the power of the great nobles out of the decision-making center. It was also at this time that Russia actually put an end to the "era of chaos" that began after Ivan the Terrible.

In April 1632, King Sigmund III of Poland died. Poland mourned the whole country. Russia, believing that the time had come, massively raised its troops, and the army marched to the western front. At first, the Russian army was overwhelmed, and soon conquered several cities, reaching under the city of Smolensk. The Polish prince Vladislav succeeded to the throne, received the battle report, and immediately gathered his army and galloped to the aid of Smolensk. The Russian army was unable to conquer the city of Smolensk for a long time, suffered heavy casualties, and finally ran out of food. I had to return in vain.

In 1633, Patriarch Filaret died of illness. The great nobles of the Muscovite court made a comeback. Real power was once again in the hands of the people. Tsar Mikhail did not fight against this, but relinquished power in his hands with a detached attitude of calming things down.

In 1626, Mikhail married again, this time the chosen empress was Yevdokia. Streshneva. After marriage, Mikhail had several children, but only two survived to adulthood: one was Crown Prince Alexei, and the other was Princess Irina.

Patriarch Filaret first took a series of measures to stabilize the people's livelihood, strengthen the tax system, and enrich the treasury through tax revenue. To this end, Russia has introduced new statistics on the number of inhabitants and state property, vigorously encouraging trade with foreign countries, and customs revenues have become a major source of finance. At this critical moment, the vast expanse of Siberia created a great deal of wealth for Russia, and Russian merchants made huge profits from exporting expensive furs and timber to Europe, and the Russian treasury gradually became fuller. Having consolidated its material base, Russia reorganized its army and made great efforts to regain the occupied lands by force.

After Mikhail ascended the throne, the nobles of the DPRK and China spared no effort to quell the internal strife in Russia, and externally tried to negotiate the return of the territory occupied by foreign enemies. Russia first engaged in lengthy negotiations with Sweden, and the two countries finally signed a treaty in 1617, in which Sweden returned five cities, including Novgorod and Pskov, to Russia. But in exchange, Russia was forced to cede to Sweden five cities around the Gulf of Finland, including Yam and Ivan, effectively cutting off Russia's access to the Baltic Sea. Forced by the form, Russia had no choice but to sign this treaty and lost its access to the Baltic Sea.

Russia's relations with Poland are more complicated, and it is impossible to negotiate a settlement as it did with Sweden. The fundamental reason was that Poland did not recognize Mikhail as the tsar of Russia and insisted that the Polish prince Vladislav should be the tsar. Russia tried to persuade the Crimean Khanate in the south and Turkey to come to Russia's aid and attack Poland together, but this plan was not realized. Mikhail sent troops to Smolensk, and the military operation ended in failure.

Mikhail had neither the experience nor the ability to govern the country. He himself has a weak personality, has no independent personality, obeys the words of his mother and the ministers around him, and does not have the willpower of a ruler at all. Thus, although Mikhail was nominally the tsar, in reality the power was in the hands of the great nobles of the court.

Although Mikhail was a tsar, his every move was constrained by the church and court etiquette, and with his weak personality, he was subservient to his mother. When Mikhail was 20 years old, he was about to get married. According to tradition, a large number of maidens of noble families were gathered in the Kremlin, and the future empress was chosen by the tsar himself. Mikhail was more fond of Maria, the daughter of the aristocratic Khlopov family. However, Mikhail's mother, Marfa, took the initiative and forced Mikhail to marry another noble woman and exiled the Khlopov family to Siberia. Later, under the auspices of the Empress Marfa, Mikhail married the daughter of the Grand Duke of Dolgoluki in 1624. After the marriage, it was discovered that the daughter of the Grand Duke was already sick, and less than three months after the marriage, the queen died of illness, and Mikhail became a widower. Then in 1626 he married Toga, and had seven daughters and three sons, all of whom were in poor health, and only three daughters and one son survived to adulthood. Mikhail himself was sick.

Although Romanov I was incompetent, the entire Russian system was very powerful in Europe at that time, and after such a vast empire was integrated into the wild dog of Emperor Taiji, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen knew that this bone was not easy to gnaw.

The most successful place of Huang Taiji in Russia is to befriend Romanov I, and reach a strategic cooperation relationship with Romanov I, because the development speed of the Ming Dynasty is too amazing, which also objectively helps Huang Taiji to gain a foothold in Russia. This was something that Huang Taiji didn't expect at first.

Huang Taiji quietly stroked his sword, no matter how sharp this sword was, how could it be compared to Zhu Youzhen's rifle? Huang Taiji sighed deeply, but instead of being decadent, he summoned the ministers to a meeting. (To be continued......)
