Chapter 1: Chongzhen's rebirth

On March 19, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Jingshi.

The sound of cannons rumbled, and the roaring shouts of killing shook the sky.

The eunuchs in python robes, the court officials in the big red official robes, and the Ming soldiers in tattered clothes went down to the city one after another, opened the gates of the nine cities and knelt down to ask for surrender.

The cavalry of the brigade roared in from the open gate of the capital division, galloping and slashing through the streets.

Most of the entire Beijing division was captured by the intruding army, and the stormy Forbidden City was in fear.

The guards, eunuchs, and palace maids almost escaped, and the Forbidden City became empty.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was dressed in a white single robe, with a cloak and a sword, standing on the coal mountain in despair, looking blankly at the situation inside and outside the palace under the mountain.

The eunuch Wang Chengen cried, threw the white silk on the branch of the crooked neck tree, tied a dead knot, and then said to Zhu Youzhen in a sad voice: "Emperor! ”

Zhu Youzhen tore off a large piece of white cloth from his body, bit his index finger, and wrote straight on it:

"In the seventeenth year since I ascended the throne, although I bowed down to the bandits, and the heavens were angry, all the ministers mistakenly obeyed, causing the rebels to approach the Jingshi. When I died, I saw my ancestors in the ground without a face, and I took off my crown and covered my face with my hair. Let the thief divide the corpse, and don't hurt a single person. ”

With that, he climbed onto the stone on his feet, put his head into the white silk, kicked the stone hard, and shook his body in the air.

The neck was instantly tightened by Bai Aya, and then there was a strong feeling of suffocation.

At this moment, Zhu Youzhen did not have the slightest fear, only strong unwillingness and endless anger!

In the 17 years since I ascended the throne, I have worked hard to review and review the recitals all night, and I have not been devoting myself to the court every morning, even if I am sick. In terms of diligence, who can compare with me except Emperor Taizu?

I don't do anything luxurious, I practice frugality, for the sake of national affairs, all the money and food are used to help the army and the people, my dragon robe is only a few sets, broken are patched by the queen herself, the daily meal is only four dishes and one soup, if you talk about frugality, who can compare with the first emperors of the Ming Dynasty? Even Taizu is not as good as me!

I am not a woman, there are only a few concubines in the harem, how many emperors in the past dynasties are as restrained as me?

I eradicated the eunuchs, deposed the East Factory, recalled the mine supervisors and tax envoys who competed with the people for profit, and abolished the factory guards who were scolded all over the world, so that the people were prosperous! But why is the state going from bad to worse?

I choose famous ministers and fierce generals, trust them and reuse them? If you can't exterminate the Jiannu outside the Guan, why can't you even extinguish the rebels? So much so that the Jingshi fell, and the Ming Dynasty died at my hands!

No! The Ming Dynasty is not the king of the country, I am not the king of the country, it is all the ministers who misunderstood me!

The Manchu officials should be killed!

In addition to the intense anger, Zhu Youzhen did not feel the pain of death, and the feeling of suffocation made his mind clearer.

The process of death is short, yet it seems so long. When he died, Chongzhen's body shook, and countless pictures suddenly appeared in his mind, playing in turn.

In these scenes, he saw the complete fall of the Jingshi, a blind and reckless man riding on a tall horse, dozens of knights hugging each other, standing in front of the Chengtian Gate, bending their bows and shooting feather arrows under the Chengtian Gate plaque.

Zhu Youzhen saw countless "loyal" courtiers crying and shouting and begging for the thieves to appoint, but the thieves were not polite to these officials, but arrested them in prison and tortured them to extort money.

Soon, the Jiannu army broke through the pass, and the thieves were defeated and fled away from the Beijing Division. Then, the Jiannu soldiers swept the Central Plains, countless clans were slaughtered like pigs, the wealth accumulated by the vassal kings for hundreds of years became the military expenses of the Jiannu, tens of thousands of Ming troops surrendered without a fight, and in a blink of an eye, most of the Ming Dynasty was lost.

On the 10th of Yangzhou, Jiading slaughtered three times, and Jiangnan cried under the hooves of Jiannu Iron Horse.

When he saw that the Ming Zheng regime on Dongfan Island was exterminated by the rebel general Shi Lang with the Qing army, and the last piece of territory of the Ming Dynasty fell, Chongzhen couldn't help but burst into tears, and the Ming Dynasty was really dead.

Seeing the construction of the slave and the monkey and the crown enslaved the world, Chongzhen sighed. The so-called prosperous era of chaff is just a joke in Chongzhen's eyes. But what really touched him was the slave chief Yinzhen, and the gentry's integrated grain payment law increased the treasury revenue several times, which made Chongzhen thoughtful.

After all, they were prisoners, and a few gunboats in Xiyi allowed them to open the country and sign countless traitorous treaties. Rather than give domestic slaves to friendly countries, China completely fell into darkness for more than 100 years.

The first gunshot rang out in Changcheng, and the Qing Dynasty was finally destroyed, but then it was the warlords who were humiliated by the great powers, and China still sank. It wasn't until an army with a red flag appeared that Chongzhen saw hope.

The so-called doctrine Chongzhen couldn't understand, but the good demeanor of that army, the unique organizational form, the tenacious and tenacious combat effectiveness, and the support of the people all over the world made Chongzhen awe-inspiring!

After a long march of 10,000 miles, eight years of resistance against the Japanese, and three years of civil war, the red army finally dominated the world, and China stood up.

The world is unified, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the sound of reading aloud comes from the school.

In the bright classrooms of the Yan University campus, the history professor gave a lecture about himself, and a lively discussion about himself began in the classroom.

"Emperor Chongzhen Zhu was incomparable to the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, he was frugal and not lustful, knew people well, and appointed many capable ministers. The main reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty was natural and man-made disasters, which had little to do with him. Zhu Youzhen is not a faint gentleman. ”

"Who said that the fall of the dynasty had little to do with him, in my opinion, the fall of the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by Zhu Youzhen. Zhu Youzhen was stubborn and self-serving, knowing people well but not being able to start and finish well, his personality was extremely brutal, and the ministers were killed if they made the slightest mistake, so that in the end no one was willing to contribute to him. Yuan Chonghuan is such a powerful person, because of the Qing Dynasty's anti-plot that he died in the hands of Zhu Youzhen, so that he missed the general and the Qing army can no longer be controlled. ”

"You're wrong, Yuan Chonghuan is not so powerful, if he is powerful, how can he not stop the Qing soldiers from entering the customs. In fact, Yuan Chonghuan had a big problem, if he hadn't killed Mao Wenlong and the Dongjiang army attacked and disturbed the hinterland of the Qing army, Huang Taiji would not have been able to concentrate his forces to invade the Mongolian steppe. ”

Chongzhen quietly looked at the picture and listened to the sound, his expression calm, because he was also eager to know if he had done anything wrong.

At the end of the picture, Zhu Youzhen came to a kind of Internet thing, where he saw many keyboard warriors, talking about Da Ming and talking about him, and all kinds of novel ideas made him stunned.

On the Internet, there is a kind of time-traveling novel, where keyboard warriors have traveled through time and space, crossed into themselves, and began their journey. Zhu Youzhen was annoyed and angry, but he also felt funny, but the opinions of many keyboard warriors still deeply affected him.

If so, what if I could start all over again? Chongzhen couldn't help but ponder.

"Your Majesty, wake up, the time of the court is approaching." Suddenly, a sharp voice sounded in his ears, and Chongzhen opened his eyes suddenly.
