Chapter 7 Zhu Yuanzhang: Most of the world is still under control, is this called the situation erosion?
"This ......"
Zhu Youzhen was just about to open his mouth to explain to Zhu Di, but he heard Zhu Houxi on the side cough lightly: "Ahem, this is a wonderful question that will be used later, let's talk about it later, let's discuss how to rescue Chongzhen Dynasty first, the meeting time is not enough." ”
Although Zhu Houyu at this time was not the Zhu Houyu in history, it is a pity that the traveler Zhu Houyu also chose the road of history, engaged in a wave of 'Great Rites Discussion', and successfully changed the temple number of Zhu Di of Ming Taizong to Ming Chengzu...... However, there is a new difference, this time Zhu Houxi did not kick out Emperor Zhu Gaochi of Mingrenzong Hongxi.
Although in the temple number, the ancestor is more advanced than the sect, but if Zhu Di is allowed to choose, he will definitely choose Ming Taizong.
Because Taizong, that is the orthodox successor, Zhu Di also has something to say: My throne was passed to me by my father, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and I was originally the heir to the throne. Zhu Yunwen? Usurpers.
Zhu Di can be said to be the orthodox successor who shows himself everywhere.
And this Chengzu completely labeled him as an unorthodox succession, and no matter how he washed, it was very difficult for him to get rid of the influence of the temple name 'Chengzu'.
In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Zhu Houxi felt that it was not appropriate to talk about this now, so it was better to find an opportunity to talk about it in the future while Zhu Di was in a good mood.
Hearing Zhu Houxi say this, Zhu Di felt that there was something strange about this matter, and he was full of doubts in his heart.
"Okay, fourth, why do you care so much? Today's plan is to solve the troubles of the Chongzhen Dynasty and complete the group of tasks, otherwise the rewards we just talked about are all flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't pay much attention to these false names, and when he saw Zhu Di's face full of doubts, he immediately spoke, asking Zhu Di not to think too much about it first, and concentrate on arranging the affairs of the Chongzhen Dynasty: "Don't talk about it, Chongzhen boy, you tell us first, how many troops can you control, how many cities are still there, how far has the situation collapsed?" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang has already prepared for the worst, everything is shuffled, and he plans to do it all over again.
It's just a bowl at the beginning, and it's a big deal to do it again.
"Grandpa, I'm ......"
As soon as Zhu Youzhen said a word, Zhu Houxi coughed lightly on the side and said: "Zhu Youzhen, if you silently recite a map in your heart, you will show your current territory in front of us." ”
Hearing Zhu Houxi's words, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but be stunned, and then his heart moved, stretched out his hand and seemed to grab it in the void, and a vivid virtual map of Daming appeared in front of the four people.
In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the situation was very complicated.
Li Zicheng's Dashun army was like a spike, from the north of the Yellow River to Beijing, and Liaodong had been completely lost to the hands of the Manchus, so they could only rely on Shanhaiguan to resist bitterly.
And the land of Sichuan and Shu is being conquered by Zhang Xianzhong, and the female general Qin Liangyu is fighting with Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan and Shu.
While talking, Chongzhen talked about his personnel rationing:
"Beijing took Xiangcheng Bo Li Guozhen as the governor of Beijing, and ordered Liu Wenbing, Marquis of Xinle, and Gong Yonggu of the Horse to summon the Xun Qi family, and the important town of Huai'an, Caoyun, to be guarded by Zhu Guobi, Marquis of Funing, and the Nanjing side to be garrisoned by Zhao Zhilong, the Bo of Xincheng, and handed over the Nanjing Caojiang Naval Division, which was customarily controlled by the civil and military commanders, to Liu Kongzhao, the sincerity of the Bo Liu Kongzhao......"
"Uncle Xiangcheng, Marquis Xinle, Marquis of Funing, and Uncle Xincheng?"
Hearing these familiar names, Zhu Di was a little stunned: "The descendants of Li Jun, Zhu Yong, Liu Bowen, and Zhao Yi?" ”
Zhu Di people are already stupid, why is it that after more than 200 years, the generals of the Ming Dynasty are still the descendants of these people?
Among them, three of them were heroes of Jingnan, Zhu Yong and Li Jun raised troops with King Yan, and Zhao Yi was a minister of Jianwen and was bought by a daughter.
And Liu Bowen is one of the founding achievements of the Ming Dynasty.
Their ancestors have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, but ...... The honorable and noble, usually eat, drink, and enjoy the glory and wealth, how can they be allowed to be officials when they start a war? Is there no emerging general in the Chongzhen Dynasty?
And Zhu Yuanzhang on the side was already frowning, he looked at Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, and wondered: "This is the dilemma you are facing now?" ”
"Yes, Grandpa." Chongzhen nodded.
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.
He originally thought that the situation in the Chongzhen Dynasty was so rotten that he could not do anything, so he would issue such tasks to them, and the rewards were so generous, Zhu Yuanzhang had already achieved the idea of starting from scratch.
But as soon as the map came out, I took a look......
Isn't this that there are Jiannu in the north, and there are anti-thieves in Sichuan, Shu and Qin?
The rest of the place, isn't that good?
Jiangnan is still in my hands!
That's it?
Among the emperors present, which emperor did not rebel under his command when he was in power?
It's not easy to handle this, huh?
Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened.
"What is the strength of the soldiers in various places, can they be worthy of a battle?" Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and opened his mouth to ask.
"The strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is second to none, as for Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, they each have a team of veterans, and the rest of the sergeants are all young and strong among the rogues, and the combat effectiveness cannot be said to be none, but it can only be said that it is not high." Zhu Houxi replied on the side.
Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised: "In this case, why did our Ming Dynasty erode so much?" ”
"That's naturally because our Ming army is even worse."
Zhu Houxi sighed faintly, and then said: "Grandpa Tai, your guard system has been crumbling, the south has not heard of military affairs all year round, resulting in almost the entire guard post is in erosion, and the northern guard system is also rapidly collapsing, a large number of military households have fled, and the land has been invaded by all kinds. The army has no silver reward, and it is all fighting with blood, and such an army will naturally be invincible by the rogues and slaves. ”
"In addition, the ministers of the Chongzhen Dynasty also had their own calculations, and national affairs became a means for the bureaucrats to obtain benefits."
Hearing Zhu Houxi say this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned pale.
"Taizu, Chengzu, Sejong, what should I do?" Zhu Youzhen said sincerely.
Zhu Di gave a reasonable reply on the side: "Now that you have only a few thousand troops in your hands, and you can only exceed 10,000 with the Xun Qi family, how can you resist Li Zicheng's hundreds of thousands of troops?" The current plan is to evacuate Beijing first, gather the soldiers in Hebei, Shandong, and Jiangnan regions, regroup, and then clean up the mountains and rivers. ”
Zhu Youzhen was stunned for a moment, and then asked puzzledly: "Grandpa Cheng, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies!" Although the descendants of the unscrupulous are incompetent, how can they abandon the city and flee? ”
"I have already arranged it, if the thieves break the city, I should hang myself in the palace to thank the world! As for Da Ming, it was handed over to the crown prince Cihong! ”
"Confused!"
Zhu Di's face also darkened, and then he said: "Military affairs are all tied to the hands of the emperor, if you hang yourself, who will preside over the overall situation?" Prince, you are only thirty years old, how old can the prince be?! The crown prince went to the south, wouldn't he still become a toy in the hands of those civil and military ministers?! ”
"You, an emperor, are thinking of committing suicide when the situation is not completely irreversible?"
Zhu Yuanzhang also agreed with Zhu Di's vision on the side: "When the capital is moved, mobilize the world's money and grain, fight with the thieves!" ”
"Money?"
Zhu Youzhen sighed, and shouted bitterly at Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di: "Grandpa Tai, Grandpa Cheng, even the descendants of Xiaoxiao also want to collect grain and grass, but countless officials have blocked it, saying that natural disasters and man-made disasters are very numerous, and the people have no food left, and if they insist on conscription, they will only force the people of Jiangnan to rebel, and even the officials can only take out a few hundred taels of silver to fund state affairs......"
The ministers have their own careful thoughts, and the government decree is difficult to achieve, which really makes Zhu Youjian difficult to operate.
Hearing this, Zhu Houxi sneered: "Where are they not rich, they are all the spokespersons of the landlord family in the court, and they are all fooling you like fools!" ”
Zhu Youzhen was stunned when he heard this, and then asked sincerely:
"Why did Emperor Sejong say this?"
