(An unknown alternate space-time)

In the last years of the Liang Celestial Dynasty, the national strength declined, and it existed in name only.

The Great Qin, the Great Ming, the Tang Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Han Dynasty and other countries took advantage of the situation to rise up and compete for hegemony, in a vain attempt to wipe out other countries, change the dynasty, and become the supreme emperor.

(Emperor of the World)

The Xiongnu, the Dog Rong, the Qiang people, the Baiyue, the barbarians, the Jiannu and other Yidi foreign tribes have been looking at the fertile land, wealth and women of the Central Plains.

.......

More than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty has also been declining, to the current dynasty of the king Chongzhen, the land annexation is extremely serious, coupled with natural disasters and man-made disasters, the death of the country is not far away.

this year.

Seventeen years of Chongzhen.

Spring.

After all, the Ming Kingdom was at the end of its rope and came to its end.

The countdown to the death of the country begins.

In January, Li Zicheng, the leader of the anti-thieves, captured Chang'an and called the emperor the founding of the country, with the country name: Dashun.

After that, it was announced that the capital of the Ming Kingdom would be conquered to the east, and the Ming Dynasty was to be destroyed.

Fill somebody's shoes.

On the second day of February, Li Zicheng led an army of 500,000 and built 3,000 ships, crossed the Yellow River, invaded Shanxi, and occupied Fenzhou, Yangcheng, and Puzhou.

On the eighth day of the second month, the state was broken and merged, and Cai Deming, the governor of the state, committed suicide in defeat, and Zhu Chengyi, the king of Jin, was captured.

On February 16, Daizhou was lost, and the general soldier Zhou Chuanyi retreated to Ningwu Pass.

On the first day of the first month of March, Li Zicheng broke through the Ningwu Pass, and the general soldier Zhou Chuanyiji went out of the city to meet the battle, and was pierced by the thieves and ten thousand arrows and died.

That night, Jiang Chen, the chief soldier of Datong, and Wang Chengren, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, surrendered.

On March 11, Li Zicheng defeated Xuanfu without blood.

The Ming Kingdom is in danger.

......

Daming Kingdom.

Outside the royal palace.

Horse-drawn carriages drove in rows, carrying large boxes on them.

As soon as these people appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of the forbidden army.

Da!

Da!

Da!

For a time, hundreds of forbidden soldiers surrounded them.

Swords and guns are in the forest.

Array!

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be impulsive, we have no malicious intent. We are from the British Mansion, please enter the palace and inform the king that the second young master of our family is here to donate money to save the country. ”

"These big chests are full of silver."

A steward greeted him with a smile and stepped forward to explain to the Praetorian Guard.

"Donate money?!"

As soon as they heard the words of the British government, the forbidden soldiers on duty immediately stood in awe, and did not dare to have the slightest neglect and contempt.

For a long time, the Ming royal family and nobles have shared the world.

As the first honor, the Duke of England has an extremely noble status.

The palace guards on duty on one side knew that during this time, the thieves invaded the royal capital in the east, menacing, the imperial treasury was empty, there was a shortage of soldiers and food, and the monarch Chongzhen was helpless, so he had to put down his body and collect money and food from the nobles and civil and military officials of the royal capital to defend the capital.

Pity!

Little success.

The first assistant of the cabinet, Wei Zaode, donated 500 taels.

The eunuch Wang Dehua donated 1,200 taels.

Wu Xiang, the governor of Jingying, donated 60 taels.

Queen Zhou's father, Zhou Kui, the father-in-law, had a solid family and only donated 3,000 taels.

(stingy)

So far, Chongzhen has lost his face, and he has only raised 200,000 taels of silver.

Bucket!

Now it is not only the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, but even they are the soldiers of the forbidden army, who have already seen that there is no way out for the Ming Kingdom.

Chongzhen is no longer able to return to the sky.

Those bullshit ministers are in a hurry to change their courts.

Many people have already packed their belongings and are preparing to flee to the south for refuge.

Only the faint monarch Shang Chongzhen, who was still sitting firmly on the Fengtian Temple, was still kept in the dark, dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Festival, in a vain attempt to defend the capital and defend his position as the lord of the country.

"This military master, the second young master of our family has been adhering to the fine tradition of loyalty and patriotism of the previous princes, and he is a family and country.

The steward on one side continued to explain patiently.

"What?"

"One million taels of silver!"

"Also, two million stones of grain and grass."

"This?"

As soon as he heard such a number, the military general who was in charge of guarding the palace gate immediately changed color, and he seemed to realize something.

Without hesitation, he turned around and went to report in person.

Oh, my God!

That's a big deal.

He felt that he was about to be promoted and make a fortune.

Inside a carriage, a handsome-looking young man sat there quietly, his eyes slightly closed, and he didn't say a word.

This is the second young master of the British Mansion who was just in the mouth of the steward.

The second son of the British prince Zhang Shize, Zhang Rui, the word Fengye.

No one knows, in fact, he is a modern person who crossed over, and a car accident directly made him "out of the body", and after that, he entered the crossing mode and became the second son of the British Duke of the Ming Kingdom.

His brother is frail and sickly, and he is the only one who can inherit the throne of the prince in the future.

He is the "small prince" of the British government.

As a college student who graduated from a third-rate university, Zhang Rui just crossed over and found that the world setting of this parallel time and space is actually to put together some dynasties and some powerful foreign clans he knows, such as the first emperor of the Great Qin, the ancestor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and Liu Bei and Uncle Liu Huang of the Han Dynasty.

This Great Liang Heavenly Dynasty was a fiction, at least he had never heard of such a dynasty.

As the second son of the British government, Zhang Rui will inherit the position of the prince of the country in the future, and when the time comes, he will not only have a respected status, but also have a lot of land at home, rewards, and silver, and there is absolutely no problem in being a happy little prince.

Alas.

Born ahead of one's time.

In his memory, in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, on March 19, Chongzhen, the last king of the Ming Kingdom, accompanied by the eunuch Wang Chengen, hanged himself on a crooked-necked tree in the coal mountain.

Heng was 34 years old.

The Ming Dynasty also declared the death of the country.

After that, the British public Zhang Shize was killed by the thieves, and no one in the whole house survived.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Rui, the "prince of a small country", understood that he could not die in the Ming Dynasty.

He wants to change his life against the sky and rewrite the tragic ending of the British government in one fell swoop.

(because he doesn't want to die)

"Second young master, everything is arranged."

The steward came to the carriage and said very respectfully.

"Steward Gu, it's hard work."

Zhang Rui opened his eyes, said through the car window.

Now, their British mansion is also in turmoil, and his father Zhang Shize was originally the governor of Beijing, but later because of ill health, he could only stay at home due to illness.

Recuperate.

The affairs of the Beijing camp are supervised by Li Guozhen.

Only he knew that Li Guozhen was a waste, and when the thief Li Zicheng invaded the capital, this guy actually took 70,000 or 80,000 people from the "three major battalions" of the Beijing camp, without firing an arrow or a shot, and all of them surrendered.

(Shame)

As a college student in the 21st century, Zhang Rui clearly knows that the fundamental reason for the demise of the Ming Kingdom is because he is too poor.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Taizu and the people recuperated, and after several years of hard work, the people of the world began to have enough food and clothing, and did not worry about eating and drinking.

In the later period of the Ming Dynasty, the burden on the treasury of the imperial court was too heavy.

Just to feed the hundreds of thousands of princes and county kings of the Ming Kingdom, it is already very difficult, plus the military expenses of quelling the peasant uprising and the Jiannu and Mongolian tribes, which makes the Ming treasury even worse.

However, what is particularly deadly is that the Daming Kingdom encountered the "Xiaoice River Period", which is rare for thousands of years.

The Xiaoice River period led to disasters in the north for more than ten years, not only did there be no harvest, but many places also needed relief from the imperial court.

One eliminates the other, and the income cannot make ends meet.

When the Ming Kingdom came to the end of the country, the treasury of the imperial court was poor, and there was no money to recruit troops and pay military salaries.

You say that you have no money, how can these soldiers and those high-ranking officials and men work for him?

"Second young master, these are all things that an old slave should do."

Steward Gu said.

He was a coated servant of the British Commonwealth.
