"At that time, the Ming Dynasty and civil officials had already won an overwhelming victory.

One group after another was formed.

In this case, the previous Son of Heaven wanted to compete with the civilian clique.

So I began to gradually reuse the eunuch ......"

Han Cheng spoke out about some of the things he knew.

As a result, he had just said a little before he was interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Wait a minute, how did the civil officials form a landslide victory?

In order to compete with civil officials, do you still need to support eunuchs?

Where have all the nobles gone?

What about our Ming generals?! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice seemed a little anxious.

Han Chengdao: "Your Majesty the Emperor, this matter, the child has no mother, it is a long story, and it needs to be talked about from a long place."

This involves another descendant of yours, are you sure you want to listen at this time? ”

Hearing Han Cheng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated, but still suppressed the doubt in his heart.

Compared with how the civil officials achieved an overwhelming victory, he was more concerned about why Chongzhen, a descendant of later generations, could let the Ming Dynasty die in his hands.

Because he really couldn't understand why such a hard-working, not extravagant, and not short-lived emperor let the Ming Dynasty die in his hands.

"Then you can continue to talk about Chongzhen."

Han Cheng nodded, and then continued: "After Chongzhen took the throne, he was fooled and lame by those so-called Qingliu civil officials and the like.

These people. kept saying bad things about eunuchs here in Chongzhen, and the eunuchs said that the crime was extremely evil.

Directly ascended, the one who caused trouble in the world was the eunuch and the eunuch party.

Only solve the eunuchs, then the world will be peaceful.

All kinds of difficulties encountered by the Ming Dynasty will disappear.

Chongzhen listened to these people's words, and took action, and a person named Wei Zhongxian solved it.

Of course, Wei Zhongxian is not a good person, he leans towards the government and the opposition, and he has done a lot of bad things.

But one thing is important, he can stand up to the civilian government.

Chongzhen not only solved Wei Zhongxian, but also abolished the corresponding institutional ......"

As soon as he heard Han Cheng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help frowning.

I feel that Chongzhen's move is too mediocre.

Although he didn't understand what the specific scene was at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

However, as a person who is very good at power tricks, he understands that the most taboo in the court is a monopoly.

You need to find a few more and balance them, which is the best.

For example, he is now, step by step, gradually retracting the power in the hands of Huaixi Xungui, and not letting Huaixi Xungui and others dominate the family is the same reason.

As a result, this Chongzhen was good, as soon as he came to power, he directly wiped out one party completely.

The most important thing is that he still killed eunuchs!

As an emperor, he was well aware of where the eunuchs' rights came from.

It's from the emperor.

It can be said to be an extension of imperial power.

The eunuchs themselves belonged to the minions of the emperor.

Compared with civil officials, eunuchs are undoubtedly easier to control.

No matter how powerful the eunuchs are, they will ultimately obey the emperor.

Their rights themselves come from the emperor, who has the power of life and death over them.

As a result, as soon as Chongzhen came to power, he actually opened a knife on the eunuch party.

The knife is so ruthless, isn't this a self-cutting arm?!

"Stupid!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but scold.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's scolding, Han Cheng couldn't help but glance at Zhu Yuanzhang more.

This Lao Zhu is worthy of Lao Zhu, a person who came out of the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses.

You can see the essence of the matter at a glance.

He had just said a beginning, and he had already seen the brainlessness of Chongzhen's move.

"The rest of the matter, in fact, I don't say, Your Majesty should have guessed it.

After cutting off one arm and abolishing the eunuch party, many civil officials praised Emperor Chongzhen in various ways.

The eunuchs who checked and balanced them have finally disappeared!

They are free!

Then, they want more and get more.

They gained a lot, but the emperor of the Ming Dynasty lost a lot.

For example, taxes began to be collected, and the treasury began to run out of money.

In the past, when the eunuchs were reused, no matter what they did, there was no shortage of money in the treasury.

At least the tax can be collected.

As soon as the eunuchs were abolished, the tax began to decrease rapidly.

And the point is that the burden of the many people has not been lightened because of this.

So, where does this tax go?

You can imagine it......"

"Since we find that the tax revenue cannot come up, we should immediately correct the mistake, continue to organize the eunuch party, collect taxes, and stop losses in time."

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice rang out.

Zhu Yuanzhang is such a person, and sometimes, face is not so important to him.

Especially when it comes to national affairs.

On the surface, he can admit his mistakes, but in fact he is very honest.

There will be no less to do.

Han Cheng shook his head.

Chongzhen didn't do this, this is the biggest and most successful thing he has done since he came to power.

And got a lot of praise for this, how could he possibly form any more eunuchs?

And those civil officials don't want him to form a eunuch party anymore. ”

"What about the tax?

The country has no money, and many things have to go wrong!

What approach did he use to solve the problem of an empty treasury? ”

Han Chengdao: "He did use some methods.

For example, cut back on spending.

In order to reduce expenses, he abolished some government organizations.

For example, the official post station has laid off a lot of employees.

In many places, it is simply abolished.

As a result, many people who originally belonged to the imperial court were directly unemployed and had no living income.

As a result, many people who couldn't survive joined the ranks of the rebellion.

Originally, the level of rebels in the Ming Dynasty was not so high.

But with the addition of these people, it suddenly became unusual.

Later, in the territory of Daming, an extremely powerful rebel gang appeared, and the leader was such an unemployed person.

"Idiot!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but scold again.

Post! How could he abolish the caravanserais?!

Doesn't he know how important the transmission of news is to the government!!

The inn was abolished!

Is this to turn yourself into a deaf person, to become a blind person?!

It's better to streamline the government from other places than to come directly to such a hand!!

"In addition to throttling, of course, it must also be open source.

If the tax is not enough, then it will be levied.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty could be said to be full of disasters.

Droughts, plagues, and locust plagues are frequent.

The climate is extreme.

In many places, there is no harvest, and families are ruined.

Lots of people can't survive.

As a result of these disasters, many people died.

But because the government has no money and food, there is basically no disaster relief.

There is basically no tax exemption policy.

On the contrary, Chongzhen also stepped up the levy of food and wages.

Collect more taxes from a multitude of people.

"Bastard!"

"Stupid!!"

"Stupid as a pig!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded.

The chest rises and falls sharply.

He had never seen such a stupid person!!

Lao Zhu's eyes were red and bloodshot.

He rebelled because he couldn't live anymore!

Only then did Da Ming appear.

As a result, when it came to the descendants of later generations, they began to stop treating the people at the bottom as human beings!!

If there is a disaster, it will be forgotten if there is no relief, and if there is no tax reduction or exemption, it will not be mentioned, and the tax will be increased!

Isn't this alive trying to force people to death?!!
