"From today onwards, from the Great Khan onwards, they must cut down on food and clothing, and tide over the difficulties with all the people of the country."

Huang Taiji said with a serious face: "Whoever dares to violate, don't blame Ben Da Khan for being ruthless." ”

Not to mention that the little Baylors standing at the bottom of the stairs couldn't figure it out, even the other three Baylors sitting in the high position couldn't figure it out.

Amin, who was outspoken and fast-talking, immediately said: "Great Khan, if we do what Great Khan says, how should we go out to fight in this year and a half!"

And don't you also need food for the Ao Han Ministry? ”

"How can we fight a war in the current situation?"

Huang Taiji was a little distressed: "If it goes on like this year after year, the people will either starve to death or become thieves, and we will fight a war with what."

Let's talk about this later. As for the problem of the Ao Han Department, let's stand up first! ”

Seeing that the Great Khan was so resolute, even if a few people were not convinced, they could only obediently obey the order.

Is it true that Huang Taiji wants to delay the war for a year and a half?

Of course not.

He just didn't think about how to break the game, and he didn't dare to act rashly until he was sure.

The Ice Age is fair to all.

Just when Yang Chengying tried every means to make money and help the people; Huang Taiji ignored the opposition of Baylor and opened a warehouse to release grain; There was also a big mess on the side of the Ming Dynasty.

On the fifth day of the sixth month of June in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, a major earthquake occurred in Lingqiu, Hunyuan Prefecture and other places.

The earthquake affected Jingshi, Tianjin Sanwei, Xuanda and other places, crushing and crushing countless people, and even the water in the dry well turned black.

The earthquake and aftershocks lasted for a long time, and they were also affected in Shandong.

This made the people who were already suffering in hardship and hardship even worse.

Last year's great drought, there were only three words in the history books: "cannibalism"!

This year, there was another earthquake, and the imperial court was unable to provide relief, which directly led to the people having no way to live.

Not only that, but the imperial court also sent Rongguan, Xingyan and other miscellaneous silver taels in the name of "pacifying Liaodong".

According to Bi Ziyan, the right attendant of the Liao Salary Household Department, Tianqi received a total of 4,993,600 taels of Liao salary in the fifth year of the Apocalypse.

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, this number increased to 5,587,420 taels.

Such a large sum of silver, not a single cent was given to Jinzhou Town, and even the Guan Ning Army on the Ningjin front line did not get it.

Since Yuan Chonghuan left office, Guan Ningjun has been in arrears for four months.

In order to get military rations, in June of this year, the Guanning army collectively demanded arrears from the governor Bi Zisu and the chief soldier Zhu Mei.

Before this, Bi Zisu had already reported this matter to the imperial court nine times.

The court ignored it.

Bi Zisu's own brother Bi Ziyan is the right servant of the household department, and he has no money to give his younger brother, which shows that he is really short of money.

Where did so much money go, neither to the army nor to the people?

Nobody knows.

Silence, silence, do not explode in silence, die in silence.

In that year, the magistrate of Chengcheng County, Shaanxi Province collected money and grain, and was hacked to death by hungry people who had no food to pay.

The imperial court did not attach importance to this matter, the Jizhen Mutiny, the Ningyuan Mutiny, and the Suzhou Civil Mutiny were all things.

What's more, the combat effectiveness of the hungry people is almost zero, and it is easy to be defeated by the officers and soldiers, and it is easy to behead thousands of ranks.

However, the Ming Dynasty ignored one thing, these peasant armies who were forced into a desperate situation and rebelled naturally had little combat power.

But there was always a group of officers and soldiers who had been abandoned by the Ming Dynasty themselves, and in desperation, they began to unite with the peasant army.

It turned out that during the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming Dynasty sent a lot of Western troops to fight in Liao.

After the defeat in the Battle of Salhu, a large number of defeated and fleeing Ming troops did not stay in Liaodong, but returned to their hometowns in their own way.

When passing through Henan, he was ordered by the governor Zhang I to intercept and kill the Ming army.

This move forced this force to fall into the grass, and those who have relatives in the family use nicknames, and those who have no relatives use their real names.

As the tide of the great peasant uprising in Shaanxi rolled up, these "seeds" were scattered among the peasant army and blossomed.

Among them, there is Wang Jiayin, a deserter from the original border camp, who fell into the grass in northern Shaanxi and Longdong.

There is also the Western Army deserter "Shen Yiyuan" who was in the western part of northern Shaanxi and the original battle of Liaoyang.

They became the first leaders of the peasant army.

Since then, a very important force peasant rebel army, which burned at the end of the Ming Dynasty, has appeared!

Li Zicheng, who is known for his courage and good fighting and refusal to bow his head, was still working as a post guard in Yinchuan Station at this time.

Zhang Xianzhong, who is cunning and fierce, can bend and stretch, is just an unknown small catcher in Yan'an Mansion.

Of course, that's all for later.

On the part of the Ming court, the reason why they ignored it was because its rule was rotten.

On the other hand, it is because the Emperor of the Apocalypse is dying.

Wei Zhongxian summoned his henchmen to discuss the matter.

"Zhongxian, Your Majesty's body is already swollen."

Without waiting to sit down, the Hakka clan summoned and said, "Seeing that Your Majesty's body is getting worse day by day, you have to think about it quickly." ”

Wei Zhongxian, who had been telling the Hakka family not to be in a hurry, had to seriously consider this matter at this time.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, as the favored retainers of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, if they want to escape this fate, they must befriend the next emperor.

However, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had no heirs, and the next emperor could only be found from the emperor's close branches.

Emperor Guangzong gave birth to a total of seven children, and the only adults were the Emperor of the Apocalypse and the King of Xin.

In other words, it is highly likely that the next emperor will be King Shin.

The eunuchs Cao Huachun, Wang Chengen, and Gao Qiqian, who believed in the king's favor, all had enmity with Wei Zhongxian.

This made Wei Zhongxian a little reluctant to believe that the king would ascend the throne.

"According to the distance between relatives and relatives, it is reasonable for King Xin to succeed to the throne."

Huo Weihua analyzed: "If the father-in-law maliciously stops it, it will anger the government and the opposition and attract opposition from the Manchu dynasty." ”

He had already seen that Wei Zhongxian was unwilling to establish the king of faith, so he hurriedly analyzed the stakes.

"I know. But Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen's ancestor Wang An, I and the Hakka family killed them. ”

Wei Zhongxian was extremely distressed, "Gao Qiqian almost died because of Ji Yong, and these people are holding their breath to hurt me." ”

"Even if there is no enmity, when they come, we have to go."

The Hakka clan began to regret killing all the heirs of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and now there is no little emperor on hand to stand.

She suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "Otherwise, let's get Wei Liangqing's child into the palace, let's say that it is the emperor's widow, in order to bless safety, so stay outside, and now the emperor is seriously ill, so he is specially welcomed back to the palace." ”

As soon as these words were spoken, Huo Weihua and Xu Xianchun were scared into a cold sweat.

They were bold, but they didn't dare to do anything about it, they didn't even dare to think about it.

Hakka actually said such a thing!

"Grandpa Wei, this is absolutely impossible!"

Huo Weihua hurriedly said: "Forging the royal bloodline is a capital crime to destroy the Nine Clans. 'Tanuki for the Prince' is just a novelist's words, and the emperor has a record of his luck, and there are too many implications in this fraud, and if you are not careful, you will lose all the games. ”

Xu Xianchun also said: "If you support King Xin, things will still take a turn for the better." To do so would be to risk the lives of all the people. ”

Hakka then dispelled the idea.

"Do I really want to be the king of Lixin?" Wei Zhongxian pondered in his heart, a little painful.

People who have enjoyed power are most afraid of losing.
