Chapter 469: Current National Situation
Hua Feng and others were very well prepared for this trip, and the navigation beacon was very clear.
Hua Feng, who has never asked about political affairs, with the concerted efforts of everyone, began to collect and sort out the current national conditions and wars of the Ming Dynasty after the Spring Festival.
After all, after the wedding, they will enter a new and unknown territory to work hard to create a vast sky.
Therefore, only by collecting, sorting and analyzing information can we be prepared and targeted.
Now, a thick pile of information is placed in front of Hua Feng, Meng Qi, Xiao Yun and other seven people. They have studied this countless times, and the more they look at it, the cooler it becomes.
But for the sake of obsession in their hearts, knowing that they can't do it, they still want to do it resolutely.
There are many things that you won't regret until you work hard.
On the contrary, if you just look forward to sighing, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
......
The information collected by Hua Feng can be summarized in two main aspects:
First, the current national conditions and war.
Second, the Ming Dynasty set up military attaches and field generals in Beijing.
Both of these points are closely related to the purpose of their trip.
You have to be aware of what to do in order to be flexible and flexible.
If you act blindly, you are likely to go the other way. Not only will it fail to achieve the goal of saving the country and protecting the people, but it may even lead to death.
Such a reckless move is obviously not what Hua Feng did.
......
Let's first elaborate on the first point, the national conditions and wars that the seven Huafeng are about to face.
After the Ming Dynasty changed through civil engineering, although the national strength was weakened, but after Hongzhi, Jiajing, and Wanli successively made great efforts, the national conditions were prosperous, and the national situation was revived.
For more than ten years before the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Ming Dynasty was strong and self-respecting. There are no relatives outside the Han Dynasty, the town of the Tang Dynasty, and the old coins of the Song Dynasty, which can be described as the country and the people, and it is prosperous and thriving.
Most of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were martial.
In a word, it can be said that "the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies." ”
Driven by the emperors of previous dynasties, the people are also very brave and aggressive, and the whole folk style is extremely fierce!
The strength of the force, the power of the universe.
......
However, it is inevitable that prosperity will decline after a long time.
From the country to the people, it's all right!
Although the Ming Dynasty had no external troubles, it had internal worries.
The biggest internal worry is the struggle for the Donglin Party, which holds a lot of power.
That is, the struggle between the political clique with Jiangnan people as the backbone and the national punist clique.
......
The Donglin Party is mainly composed of people from Jiangnan.
One party, strong cohesion.
The Donglin Party has been dormant for a long time, and the dispute over the national capital in the Wanli era, the three cases at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the dispute over Jingcha all have the shadow of the Donglin Party.
In the thirty-second year of Wanli, after Gu Xiancheng was dismissed, he lectured at Donglin Academy in his hometown of Wuxi.
In addition to lectures, he often discussed the government and politics, judged people, and talked about gains and losses with like-minded friends in Donglin Academy, Gao Panlong, Qian Yiyi, etc., and gradually formed an opposition group, which was called the "Donglin Party".
Their proposition can be summed up in eight words -- "broaden the way of speech and improve current politics." ”
Although it was fiercely opposed by powerful courtiers and eunuchs, it also received wider support.
After a long period of confrontation, the "Donglin Party" became more and more famous, and finally became a climate.
......
It is precisely under this situation that the national friends party with a wise mind to protect one's life came into being.
The National Friends Party is a large group dominated by the Zhejiang Party, the Qi Party, the Chu Party, the Kunming Party, and the Xuan Party.
There is a party within the party, which is like a plate of scattered sand.
At the beginning, among the friends of the country, the Zhejiang Party was the most powerful.
The leaders of the Zhejiang Party, Shen Yiyi and Fang Congzhe, both served as the first assistant of the cabinet and were in power in the DPRK. Therefore, under the leadership of the Zhejiang Party, the national friends party can be described as a smash hit!
However, the good times did not last long, and after the three cases of "Strike", "Red Pill", and "Calling the Palace", Guangzong Zhu Changluo ascended the throne.
The Donglin Party was powerful because of its meritorious support and reuse by the new emperor.
The Zhejiang Party was defeated.
Under the crisis of life and death, he had to turn to the Dongchang forces headed by Wei Zhongxian, the head of the eunuchs.
The national friends party existed in name only, and the eunuch party became powerful from then on.
The opponent of the Donglin Party also became the eunuch party headed by Wei Zhongjian.
......
"Those who speak and do things are better to govern at their discretion, and the day of governance and the pillars of the branches, the fire and water are thin, and they will die in the future. "It can be said that Zhu Changluo's regime became the Donglin Party and defeated the Donglin Party.
The Donglin Party has a very strong moral standard, and if it is loyal to political affairs, it is not bad. Unfortunately, however, they have spent a lot of their energy on group struggles.
They can find the right way to govern the country, but they can't do it according to the prescription.
That is, it is often said that "the giant of slogans, the dwarf of action." ”
It is precisely because they are in their position, but they do not seek their own government. As a result, the ills of the imperial court accumulated more and more, and eventually went to extinction.
......
The bipartisan rivalry is intensifying, and both sides are extremely powerful.
As a result, many loyal ministers died in vain, and there was chaos in the temple, and there was great internal friction.
The dispute between the Donglin Party has lasted for decades, and there is almost no peace.
No one, including the emperor, was able to do political affairs with peace of mind, which led to the weakening of the country.
After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the synopsis of "Wang Xue's Questioning" said: "The death of Fu Ming died at the portal, and the portal began with the punctor party, and the pundang began with lecturing." ”
Regarding the Donglin party dispute, there are many records in the historical books, so I will not repeat it.
In addition, the Ming Dynasty was still martial, and it was beaten down from horseback. Therefore, the foundation is not profound, and the policy of strengthening the army and enriching the country has been in the process of being perfected.
As a result, the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty ruled the country, and most of the capitals were constantly in flames.
To add insult to injury, the heavens are not beautiful, and natural disasters continue year after year, resulting in a rapid decline in national strength and a poor livelihood for the people.
In order to survive, peasant uprisings broke out frequently.
However, in just over a decade, the territory has been torn apart.
......
War is the most defeated country.
In 1644 A.D., the largest peasant rebel army, Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, invaded Beijing, and the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was martyred by hanging, and the Ming Dynasty, which ruled the great rivers and mountains for 276 years, was declared to be overthrown.
The remnants of the Ming Dynasty established the Southern Ming Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, and multiple powers stood side by side.
However, it was only a flash in the pan, and the regimes of Dashun, Onishi, and Hongguang were quickly defeated by the Qing army, which was driven straight in.
......
On June 15, 1645, Zhu Yujian, the king of the Tang Dynasty, was supported by Zheng Zhilong, Huang Daozhou and others, and proclaimed himself emperor in Fuzhou and changed his name to Longwu.
In November 1645, Emperor Longwu, under the auspices of his minister Huang Daozhou, launched the Northern Expedition. However, Zheng Zhilong, who was in charge of the army, did not cooperate, and did not give the army, nor food, grass and weapons.
Emperor Longwu, who had no power and no soldiers in his hands, could not help, and only gave him dozens of empty notes and handwritten letters, giving him the power to "act cheaply".
However, in this time of chaos, what is the use of such power?
The country will not be a country, and there will be no food, where will it be cheap? How should we behave?
Therefore, these empty books and handwritten books are better than nothing. I want to talk about "Chivalry and Invincible" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
