"In addition, Yuan Chonghuan can also kill, he even dared to make international jokes about Pingliao for five years, and he was good at killing Mao Wenlong, destroying the foundation of containing Huang Taiji, and letting Huang Taiji besiege the capital, it is not too much to kill."

"Can these two kill? Impossible. The crowd was shocked, "Who will kill them to contain the Donglin Party, and who will deal with Huang Taiji?" ”

"You can see the problem from the essence, and you still need to care about these details?" Qin Yu smiled,

"So the real answer, you think about it again, start from the essence."

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Village Chief Huang.

I thought that he liked to study history, and that he was older than everyone else, and ate more salt than they did rice, so he should be able to give a better answer than they did.

……

"Sir, we'll do this question." Sure enough, at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke.

"Oh." Qin Yu sighed, "How do you do it?" ”

"First of all, Wei Zhongxian can be killed, and he must be killed. If you don't kill, Chongzhen can't get power, and the emperor has no power in his hands, so he can't do anything. Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Yes, if the emperor has the ability, such a powerful minister must be killed." Qin Yu said, "Using him to prolong the national glory of the remnant dynasty will eventually lead to destruction." The reason why Chongzhen can't be killed is because he lacks ability. ”

"And if you kill Wei Zhongxian, the emperor can still deal with the Donglin Party, and it is not difficult." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "A eunuch with his back to the emperor can suppress them to death, and the emperor himself can't deal with it?" ”

"That's a good point." Qin Yu nodded in approval, "Remember, if you travel back and become Chongzhen, the first thing you have to do is to kill Wei Zhongxian and keep him, which is tantamount to drinking to quench your thirst." ”

"Secondly, even if Yuan Chonghuan is killed, it will not affect the real overall situation." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "The most important thing for the imperial court to deal with border troubles is money and food, not any general." ”

"What can really change the overall situation is that the emperor has to get money and grain first."

"With money and food, everything is easy to do. Money and food are the key to solving all problems. ”

"Yes, you see the essence." Qin Yu said, "Then how should Chongzhen get money and food?" ”

"It's very simple, too." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Don't wait for Li Zicheng to revolt, I will do the righteous army first." ”

"How did Emperor Chongzhen do the righteous army first?" Qin Yu smiled.

"It is not the righteousness of the emperor himself, but the righteousness of the feudal aristocracy." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Chongzhen had a certain amount of military power at that time, right?" Even if he didn't, as the emperor, it would be simple to encircle some military generals to enter King Qin. ”

"The identity of the emperor is a banner and a banner. As long as Daxu is here, give grace to some generals, and let some generals die in minutes. Didn't you just talk about it, sir? Even in that case, there were still people in the Gan army who were willing to enter King Qin, which shows that the people at that time still had many loyal to the Ming Dynasty. But wherever he can give some kindness to others, there are many people with lofty ideals who are willing to serve him. ”

"Not bad." Qin Yu said, "At that time, there was no shortage of loyal ministers and righteous people. At the end of any dynasty, there is no shortage of people loyal to the dynasty. As long as the last emperor didn't trample them to death, it would be easy to make them loyal. ”

"Since there are soldiers, it's easy to do, follow Li Zicheng's example, and arrest all the feudal nobles in the court." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Then give them a word to give money and food, otherwise, kill!" ”

"Since Li Zicheng can squeeze tens of millions of taels of silver from them, the emperor can at least squeeze hundreds of millions of taels from them, right?"

"Sir has taught us a long time ago that at any time, those feudal nobles have money and food. Especially at the end of the dynasty, they squeezed more social wealth. ”

"Chongzhen has realized that Wenchen can be killed one by one, so it's not too much to arrest them and squeeze some silver, money and food, right?"

"As long as you have money, everything is easy to do, and it will be easy to solve the crisis of the imperial court."

"Yes, kill the Virgin first in troubled times." Qin Yu said, "Just kidding, it is the troubled times to kill the root of those chaotic societies first-the feudal aristocracy." More than 90 percent of the wealth of society they seized was snatched into the hands of the imperial court. ”

……

"But sir, if you arrest all the people in the civil official clique, who will be the official? Who will be in charge of the household department, the military department (this chapter is not finished!) )

, Ministry of Officials, Ministry of Works? Without these civil officials, how could the imperial court continue to function? Zhu Chun asked.

"The imperial court is about to perish, why do you still want to operate?" Qin Yu smiled, "When Zhu Yuanzhang got into trouble, there was a household department, a military department, and a government department? ”

"What Mr. said is right, Chun'er, you are superficial." Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly, "The generals can be abolished, and the country cannot die." In order to keep the country, all the generals can be killed, not to mention those useless civil officials? ”

"In extraordinary times, as long as there is money, food, and soldiers, it is enough."

"The civil official group was established after the imperial court was stabilized to assist in stabilizing the country. In other words, in extraordinary times, in addition to money, food, and soldiers, everything can be discarded. ”

He started his business by raising righteousness, and of course he deeply understands this truth.

"It's domineering." Qin Yu glanced approvingly at "Village Chief Huang", "It's better than me." ”

"To be honest, the problem faced by Chongzhen is much simpler than that faced by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had no soldiers in his hands, and the warlords were fighting everywhere, and he couldn't do anything without soldiers. And Chongzhen can at least mobilize soldiers and horses, and the whole country is up, and there are no princes to rebel, only the righteous army. The biggest enemy Chongzhen faces is the civilian clique, which can be taken down with a little means. ”

"A eunuch Wei Zhongxian can overwhelm the civil official group, and he can't be an emperor?"

"Therefore, it is much easier for Chongzhen to turn the tables than for Emperor Han Xian."

"Sir, after the imperial court squeezed out the money and grain from the civil official group, it needs disaster relief. Let the people have a way to live, and the righteous army will be solved. If all the civilian-bureaucratic clique is offended or all killed, who will go to the disaster relief and who will win the hearts and minds of the people? Zhu Biao asked.

Your question reminds me of a very popular TV series before, which has a very classic line, what is called "Save the people and save the officials first". It means that if the officials don't have enough to eat, no one will be willing to give relief to the victims. Qin Yu said, "Your worries are exactly the same as the meaning of this sentence. ”

"But the teacher told you that this sentence is at the level of elementary school students."

"Elementary school level?" Except for Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma, the crowd was surprised, "This sentence sounds very reasonable." ”

"If the officials don't work hard, I'm afraid the people at the bottom will be even more miserable. If the officials don't have enough to eat, they will exploit the people even more. ”

"Why is it at the level of elementary school students?"

"How can such philosophical words be so unbearable in Mr. Qin's eyes?"
