Chapter 2 The Situation at the End of the Ming Dynasty
Ming Sheng finally had time to digest and sort out these things on the night of the wake for the Emperor of the Apocalypse: he was sleeping on the side of the bus booth, and after waking up, he directly became Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, in addition to maintaining his thoughts and memories, his body also became the appearance of this seventeen-year-old boy, thinking about his previous life, he dreamed of growing up against the age of Ming Sheng, who couldn't help but feel a little happy (after all, he was 26 years old in his previous life). More fortunately, his memory is mixed with some memories of Chongzhen himself, it turns out that he and Tianqi are also a pair of difficult brothers, in the famous late Ming Dynasty "fight for the country" incident, in the end, due to the insistence of the ministers, the Wanli Emperor had to compromise and pass the throne to the Taichang Emperor Zhu Changluo, and Zhu Changluo was still a short-lived emperor, reigning for only one month, and died.
His brother, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, ascended the throne under such circumstances, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse was not interested in other political affairs other than carpenter's work at all, so that the power gradually fell side, and because of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, in May, due to rowing and playing, drowning and getting sick. His health gradually became ill, and then because he had no children under his knees, he had to pass on the throne to his only living brother.
Therefore, the emergency summons after he just crossed over, broke into the palace late at night, and was entrusted with the matter behind him, all of this is reasonable.
Mingsheng thought that this kind of plot often happened in novels and TV series, but he crossed over in a dream, why was there nothing? There is no system, there is no golden finger, and he hasn't read for a long time because of work, and these memories of the end of the Ming Dynasty are relatively vague, but he suddenly remembered that he had seen such remarks on Zhihu in later generations, indicating that the situation at the end of the year, no matter who cleans it up, it is estimated that it will not change the ending, because it is already a completely corrupt country. Thinking of this, Ming Sheng played a small drum in his heart, how could I cross over, I would be directly the king of the dead country? It seems that if I continue to develop on a normal track, in about a dozen years, I will hang myself from the crooked-necked tree behind the coal mountain.
Suddenly made up in his mind, the scene of himself being a hanged ghost, Ming Sheng suddenly became arrogant, clenched his fists and thought: Since I have come to this world, no matter what, I am also nearly 400 years ahead of the people in this world, is it possible that I am really powerless to change history? No, no, no, since I have come to this era, it means that I am the chosen son, Huang Taiji, Dolgon, Li Zicheng, you all wash your necks one by one and wait! This time, I choose to wipe out all of you rebellious ministers and thieves and restore my prosperous Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty was the last dynasty established by the Han people in Chinese history, and it is also known as the most backbone dynasty. But Mingsheng knew very well in his heart that there was not much time left for himself to change the original historical track and save the Ming Dynasty.
The current situation is indeed more severe, first of all, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were earthquakes in Henan, Shaanxi and other places from the aspect of natural disasters, and there were locust plagues that caused the people to live poorly, and then from the social level, due to the further growth of population pressure at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the food produced was in short supply, and there were many corrupt officials and corrupt officials who made obstacles from it, so many people who could not eat rose up and became homeless. People from various parties such as the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party fought very happily.
Now if you want to deal with these messes well, you must first rectify the official system internally, not absolutely, but also within your own ability, as much as possible to make politics clearer, and not let the situation of "officials forcing the people to fan" reappear along the track of history, followed by the internal friction between the various parties in the DPRK and the central government must end as soon as possible, what Donglin Party, what eunuch party, there can only be one voice in the entire court, that is, the voice of the emperor, even if the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party want to make a little move, At the very least, it means that they can make some small moves within my control, or with my own acquiescence, and then the most important thing is to solve the problems of the treasury and food as soon as possible.
Because isn't there a saying in the Hereafter? In this world, except for force majeure factors, 95% of things can be solved with money, and the remaining 5% needs more money...... It sounds hilarious, but it's true.
In fact, this is also the case at the end of the Ming Dynasty, many things can be solved with money, think about the later Chongzhen Emperor, before Li Zicheng's troops attacked Beijing City, gave these ministers a fundraising to the soldiers who defended the capital to pay military salaries, as a result, the emperor's relatives did not pull out a dime, the Manchu Dynasty Wen armed mad and stupid, under the pleading of Emperor Chongzhen, only raised 200,000 taels, and then everyone knows the rest of the matter, Li Zicheng attacked Beijing City, and looted 70 million taels of silver from officials at all levels......
In fact, all of this is due to the fact that Emperor Chongzhen listened to the words of the Donglin Party and did not pay attention to the results of Jinyiwei and Dongchang.
Because when Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Ming Chengzu Zhu Di implemented the system of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, they were to cultivate one of their own intelligence agencies.
As a ruler, if you can't control the situation of the officials below in real time, it will be a very dangerous signal, as an emperor, there is no responsibility, there is no means to restrain the courtiers to be in awe, how can you deter the entire court?
However, Emperor Chongzhen regarded the factory guards as the root cause of the disaster to the country and the people, and voluntarily gave up the restraint on the ministers, making the courtiers even more unscrupulous and unscrupulous, which was one of Chongzhen's fatal mistakes.
After sorting out these ideas, Mingsheng's heart is already much more comfortable, as long as there is a direction, then work towards this goal, first of all, to firmly control the factory guard in his own hands, so that he has absolute loyalty to himself, and the next thing is much easier, some things that are inconvenient for themselves will have Jinyiwei to take the blame, and they will do it clearly and clearly.
The next day, the eunuch Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the celebrant and the pen, held the holy decree in his hand, and the minister of civil and military affairs knelt down in two shifts, and the edict said: "I bow down and look up to the ancestors for seven years. The three halls of the world were completed, the hall was restored, the atmosphere was repeatedly frustrated, and the border was gradually settled. Fang is determined to rule peace and rest with the people. It is not said that the endowment is weak, since the Qinggong has been, and since the Imperial Palace, there are many police, day and night, it is beneficial to use anxiety and labor, and think more about hurting the spleen, so as to cause intimidation. Now it is a relapse of long-awaited illness, blood and blood suddenly, with a few dying, unable to get up, there is a negative first test Gu Tuo's life, I use up all the injuries. If the husband dies and tastes reason, people will not be able to avoid it, but in the succession, the people of the clan and society will depend on it, and all of them will be obedient, so I have no regrets. The fifth brother of the emperor believes in the king, is smart and dreamy, benevolent and filial piety, and serves the ancestor to train the elder brother and the last brother of the text, Pi Shaolun preface, that is, the emperor's throne. Cultivate morality, be pro-virtuous, be diligent in government, be compassionate to the people's livelihood, strictly cultivate border preparations, and do not be too damaged. The civil and military ministers inside and outside the country worked together to assist, abide by the rules, and protect the emperor's map. The funeral is still systematic, with the sun changing the month, the 27th is released, there is no ban on folk music to marry, the clan family, the county king is the most important, and it is not allowed to leave the fiefdom. The governors, towns, inspectors, and officials of all localities are not allowed to leave their posts without permission, and they are not allowed to cry for three days in their own places, and the officials who enter the incense will act on their behalf. The state and county officials of the health office and the local officials are exempt from incense. Yu play! Brother Da Lun, Xingshe Ji only has the Lord; The monarch and the minister are righteous, and the period is supplemented by loyalty. The body is still in the arms, and the last life is inherited. The proclamation is known to the Chinese and foreign, and the salty envoy knows about it. ”
On the twenty-fourth day of August in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Ding Si Zhu Youzhen was ordered to ascend the throne as the emperor, and Ming Sheng also began his life in charge of the world, this time, he wanted to sit firmly in the country and rebuild the Ming Dynasty (in order to facilitate the later writing is more convenient, and the protagonist has begun to ascend the throne, in the later period, Zhu Youzhen or Chongzhen will directly replace the male protagonist, I hope you will give more valuable opinions)
