What is Destiny?

Da Qin has been exploring, experimenting, and even the entire Shushan world has become Da Qin's laboratory because of this, but for Emperor Chongzhen, who was reborn to the day his brother fell into the water, isn't the mandate of heaven me?

If it weren't for my destiny, how could I be reborn?

At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen began to plan and began to think, there are still a few months before the death of the imperial brother, and it is best to remain unchanged and be a low-key person in these months.

In the study, Chongzhen sat here alone, and even Wang Chengen was driven outside by him, and he was summarizing the history of the future.

In the first year of Chongzhen, there was a great drought in Shaanxi, and the rebellion began!

In the second year of Chongzhen, Shaanxi continued to suffer from a great drought, Chongzhen abolished the post station system in order to save money, and then Li Zicheng, an unemployed laid-off worker, embarked on the road of armed wage bargaining, this road Li Zicheng went from the second year of Chongzhen to the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, and finally succeeded in asking for wages.

In the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji entered the Kou Pass, and the soldiers came to the city, Yuan Chonghuan tried to lead foreign soldiers into Beijing several times, and was suspected of Dong Zhuo's second, and was executed by Chongzhen.

In the three years of Chongzhen, Shaanxi was still in a major drought......

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the rebel son chased and killed himself with a sword in his hand, and seized power in a coup d'état......

Twenty-two years of Chongzhen, Zen let!

......

In the end, Chongzhen's memory stayed before he died.

At that time, he was already ninety-six years old, and although he was called a rebel by himself, he was actually quite filial.

The annual pension silver of one million taels comes from the beauties of the whole world and even overseas, and it would be better if the rebels did not often pit their own silver.

The next day, Chongzhen walked out of the study with a smile, and the study was full of the smell of paper being burned.

Seventeen years after ascending the throne, Emperor Chongzhen, who had been the emperor for at least sixty years, has returned!

In the past 60 years, Chongzhen has learned various art of war, learned the use of various artillery, learned the wall charge, learned the method of training the Qi family's army, and learned the method of making money for the rebel...... He even studied mathematics, philosophy, and the new style of Confucianism.

It's a pity that after learning so much, you can only be a emperor, and you can only disgust him by constantly adding younger brothers and sisters to the rebel, which is really a pity.

Standing in the gazebo, Chongzhen looked up at the sky, embracing the sun with both hands, under the sun, his spirit was flying, confident and optimistic, and the destiny of heaven was mine!

In August, the apocalypse officially died, Chongzhen successfully ascended the throne after three resignations, according to tradition, this year is still the seventh year of the apocalypse, and the beginning of next year is the year of Chongzhen.

In August, Chongzhen led more than 100 guards, as the Son of Heaven, to kill the imperial horse eunuchs and seize part of the military power, and then led them to kill Wei Zhongxian and kill the Hakka clan.

While the civil officials cheered for the Son of Heaven, they couldn't help but muttered in their hearts: What kind of path is this Son of Heaven?

Shouldn't it be the minister who charges into battle and finally helps Chongzhen eliminate the eunuchs and gain power at the same time?

Especially when the cabinet scholars and senior nobles saw Chongzhen stabbing Wei Zhongxian to death with a sword, they were even more directly trembling.

How many years!

How many years has it been since Daming had such a son of heaven who dared to kill with his own hands!

In August, Wei Zhongxian subdued the law, and the scholars praised him as the holy son of heaven.

At the end of August, Chongzhen left the palace and lived in the barracks on the grounds that he thought of the emperor when he saw the palace and thought of the emperor's brother and was sad.

At the beginning of September, after Chongzhen thoroughly mastered thousands of elites who were more capable of fighting, he set off a big case in the palace on the grounds that Tianqi was murdered.

When the scholars heard this, they all applauded.

However, at the end of September, a great eunuch claimed that he had been instructed by some civil officials to murder the emperor.

And this civil official is just a head of the household department, how can a little master be the mastermind of the murder of the first emperor and the intention to rebel?

After the news spread, the head of the household department was imprisoned, and under severe torture, he obtained 630,000 taels of silver, 30,000 taels of gold, 20,000 mu of various fields, and the total value of other industries was about 800,000 taels.

As soon as this result came out, no one could speak to the head of the household department.

Whether he participated in the conspiracy to kill the first emperor or not, so much family property was enough for him to die without a place to be buried!

Even if everyone knows it, this is actually the unspoken rule of the household!

Drifting, the silver in the world, the court issued a million taels, and when it came out of the treasury, it was only 900,000 taels at most, and many times it was often only 800,000 taels.

There is nothing that the officials of the household department do not know about this rule, but the reason why the unspoken rules are unspoken rules is because they cannot be made public!

At the beginning of October, the entire household department, big and small, was wiped out. By the time the case was over, only 20 percent of the household officials had escaped safely.

They either exposed their companions to the court, or reported others to the court, or took out a large amount of real money and silver to actively assist the court in raiding their homes. Only a very small number were released because they really had the strength, or they were really not very greedy.

At the end of October, Chongzhen specially set up a team to copy the house, and successfully obtained 8 million taels of silver, 200,000 taels of gold, 100,000 mu of land, and 12 million taels of various properties.

The officials of the household department, from the Wanli period to today, have worked hard to accumulate wealth, and they have been snatched away by Chongzhen!

Facts have proved that in front of the emperor who has great righteousness, has an army, and does not live in the palace, will not be overboard, will not be poisoned, and is shameless, the household officials with bulging pockets are really just a dish.

The case of purging the anti-Ming anti-thief group continues, but the intensity is not as strong and fierce as it was at the beginning, and often when the officials are caught, many people will be released.

In Chongzhen's words, catch ten and put three.

In this way, the next time someone is arrested, they will not think of running away vigorously, and they may even take the initiative to cooperate with the work of the imperial court, take the initiative to cooperate with the imperial court, expose and report colleagues, and even take the initiative to cooperate with the imperial court to raid their own homes!

In the end, at least one of the three people released must be promoted!

When the Jinyi guard went out to arrest people again, some people were worried about family property, but some people saw the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune, and even wanted the court to arrest them immediately.

No one knows corruption better than I do!

No one knows how to make mistakes better than I do!

Commander of the Jinyi Guard, the great eunuch of the East Factory, come and arrest me!

The old man wants to report his colleagues, and the old man wants to be promoted!

Although there are not all civil officials who want face in these years, they are a scarce species after all, and it is difficult for civil officials who want face to live well when Wei Zhongxian covers the sky with one hand.

"Your Majesty, as of today, there are 52 million taels of silver, 1,850,000 taels of gold, 8,000,000 mu of new land, and all kinds of trading houses, raw materials, jade, antiques, etc., together are worth about 63 million taels. ”

"If you add the Huangzhuang near Beijing, there are tens of millions of acres of land directly in the hands of His Majesty alone. Speaking of this, Wang Chengen's voice trembled a little.

He's scared!

He's really scared now!

He worries every day that as soon as he wakes up, he receives the news that Emperor Chongzhen fell into the water and died, or was sick and died. As of today, he, the great eunuch of the Admiral Dongchang, has been assassinated at least thirty-five times openly and covertly, and two of them are almost really dead.

Even he is like this, let alone Chongzhen?

"Your Majesty must take care of the dragon's body. ”

Hearing this, Chongzhen smiled slightly: "You don't understand, what I have done so far is all in line with the general righteousness, and the big case is to avenge the imperial brother and find the murderer who assassinated the imperial brother, this is filial piety, no one can blame." ”

"As for cleaning up the moths in the imperial village, it is the royal family's own family affairs, and the foreign ministers don't even have the right to suggest. So even if those civil officials want me to fall into the water immediately, when they mention me on the surface, they have to give me a thumbs up and praise me for a good job!"

Bragging is bragging, but Chongzhen still knows it, so he hasn't entered the palace since the end of August.

Not once!

I have been living in the barracks for a long time, eating and living with the middle and senior generals of the army!

I don't know, I think that Emperor Chongzhen's temperament is similar to that of Wuzong, and he is a son of heaven who likes macho men and the army. Those who know will only sigh in their hearts, the Son of Heaven is cautious.

"How's the house going?" Chongzhen suddenly asked.

"Well, according to His Majesty's requirements, all the big households have been split into small ones. Just the large households in the capital that have been raided can demolish at least 5,000 small households, and each small household is a house within the city walls of Beijing. ”

The houses of those big families were originally pavilions, flowers and plants, and many jade and bamboo buildings, how beautiful and beautiful they were, but they were all demolished by Chongzhen's order, Wang Chengen really couldn't understand Chongzhen's thoughts.

After hearing that there were 5,000 sets of small households, Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction, smiling like a fox who had stolen honey.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Chongzhen issued the first edict of the new year.

The idea is that this fall, a martial arts tournament will be held in the city of Beijing.

The prerequisite for participating in the tournament is to carry at least 80 pounds of equipment and be able to travel a hundred miles in five hours.

Of course, these equipment are armor, weapons, longbows, and arrows, and within five hours and ten hours, carrying a weight of eighty pounds, and reaching a destination a hundred miles away, all those who can do it are true warriors!

Only such warriors can participate in the next World Imperial Martial Arts Competition.

The first round begins immediately after arriving at the destination, compared to archery.

The second round is the sword and shield.

There may not be a third round anymore, and if there is one it is better than riding and shooting?

The top 10 will be rewarded with a house near the Imperial Palace in Beijing, and the top 100 will be rewarded with a 30% discount to buy a small house. The top 800 will be rewarded with a half-price mortgage for 20 years to purchase a small house in Beijing.

As soon as this edict came out, the heroes of the entire North Zhili were boiling!

That's a house in Beijing, how many people risk their lives, and it is impossible to afford such a house after working hard all their lives, but now they can get it through a competition, what is this concept?

Well, if you go to ask a Beipiao and give you a house within the second ring road of Beijing, are you willing to work hard every day to kill people and work hard for you, it is estimated that the vast majority of Beipiao are willing.

The nobles who are high in the sky certainly don't look down on such a small house. Most of the civil officials with official positions above the fifth rank do not think that small houses are something worth cherishing, but for a large number of local people, having a set of small houses that completely belong to them is simply a good thing that they dare not dream of.

And for the large number of people in the Beipiao and Beizhili areas, this is hope!

Even if you buy a small house at three folds, you still can't afford it, but with this qualification, you can ask for an authentic Beijing girl in Beijing, and you don't have to worry about marrying a mother-in-law.

The entire people of Beizhili have begun to practice martial arts if they have the conditions!

Of course, the first step in practicing martial arts is to eat meat, eat a full meal, and then put on armor, contact archery, and contact sword and shield.

But in any case, Beizhili in the first year of Chongzhen was boiling!

Even in the whole world, there are constantly strong men who can fight when they look at it, and they are very tall and strong when they look at it, wearing armor and carrying the Kaiyuan bow, and they are heading towards Beijing City step by step!

When the macho men began to train themselves, one eunuch after another carried Chongzhen's edict and recruited civil servants, military generals, ordinary people and even soldiers all over the country.

"What did you say Your Majesty summoned us for? If it was for military training, wouldn't it be enough to have us, what is the use of those civil officials?" Cao Wenzhao was very puzzled.

"Brother Cao, we are all from Liaozhen, we are a family, so I won't talk nonsense, I think Your Majesty should want to cheer up and train a cavalry that can really fight. This is Wu Sangui, who is only a teenager this year, and he is at an age when he has no hair on his lips and can't do things firmly.

"I can't figure it out, I've tried this guy Wang Dou, although it's just a soldier's household, but it can be regarded as a fight, and there is always a future for a thousand households. But those civil officials can't see through it, they can't see through it. ”

"Brother Cao, don't look down on civil officials, do you see that red robe over there? Yes, it is the tall man on the edge who is half a head taller than you, his name is Lu Xiangsheng, he is a Jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, and he is the real Jinshi master. ”

When he said the four words of Master Jinshi, a golden light also appeared in Wu Sangui's eyes, envy! In Daming, except for Xungui, who does not envy Master Jinshi?

"But this guy is very capable of fighting, I heard that last night, he alone beat down more than a dozen soldiers who did not look down on civilian officials, and the Daguan knife beside him weighed eighty-two pounds, and it was a weapon he usually used to polish his strength. ”

Looking at Lu Xiangsheng, who was eating meat and drinking a lot, Cao Wenzhao didn't speak, this morning he quietly observed Lu Xiangsheng who was polishing his body, this guy is really a master, he can fight better than ordinary generals.

Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, Yan Yingyuan, Jiangyin Dianshi, Jizhen Xiaobing Wang Dou, Shaanxi Post Station Xiaobing Li Zicheng......

When they came to Beijing, they entered the barracks of Emperor Chongzhen, where they received training as new-style officers and learned new tactics of artillery and muskets of guaranteed quality.

Artillery is a profession that requires a lot of knowledge.

In the past, although there were many Ming artillerymen, the artillerymen's knowledge was not profound, and they could only rely on their rich personal experience to operate the cannon.

But they don't know mathematics, they don't know angles, they don't know how to parabola, they don't know how to calculate the range of artillery, not to mention the uneven mass of the previous cannons.

"No one knows cannon better than I do!"
