Video Clip: Top 10 Women in Power

Immediately afterwards, various pictures of the Little Ice Age appeared on the platform,
Watching the mountains and rivers no longer green, watching the earth dry up, and the corpses of fish and shrimp in the river.

Watching the crops fail, watching the weather capricious.

Watching the goose feather-like snow fall to the ground, freezing countless cattle and sheep to death.Not a single blade of grass grows on the grassland.

"Such bad weather is what happened in our ruling dynasty?"

"Such a dry weather has never been seen before. How do my people live in such a situation?"

The people were displaced and starved to death.

They gnawed on bark, ate grass roots, and even used viewing soil to satisfy their hunger.

The mountains and rivers are broken, the wind and sand are all over the sky, and the rain is pouring down!

"This is the once-rich Guanzhong Plain? How can there be any crops to eat on this land?"

"This is the scourge of heaven, it is the scourge of heaven!"

Emperor Hongwu said tremblingly, and his hands trembled uncontrollably. In front of this nature, he was so powerless.

He thought of the days when he used to herd cattle, and his parents, brothers and sisters who died of starvation at home.

"Is all this a punishment from God?"

"I have experienced such pain, but how can I solve Daming's problem?"

And the same Empress Daming saw the scenes in the pictures, and she was also stunned by the pictures.

"Da Ming encountered the Little Ice Age?"

"But Ai's family still has the benefits of platform rewards in their hands, the weather is good, the country is peaceful and the people are safe!"

"Besides, after just a few months of development, Daming has already possessed a strong force. Since there will be less rain and drought in Guanzhong, then Daming's iron cavalry will expand outward."

"Da Ming's new treasure ship is about to set off, so the Aijia asked them to take the army, and as long as they arrive at a place, they will occupy it."

"I heard that Nanyang is a land of abundance, so my Ming Dynasty will destroy the whole Nanyang. If this is the case, my Ming Dynasty will not suffer from famine again."

"The Dynasty has no way to solve the special situation of this little ice age, but we can implement a strategic shift."

"The Little Ice Age in history is so long, but Daming has already been rewarded by the heavens. As long as it can be used well, there will be no starvation for thousands of miles."

"It's just that the history of my plane cannot affect the plane of Emperor Chongzhen."

"What should I do? I can only pray to God. I hope that this time, in this special period of Little Ice River, no more punishment will be imposed. Let's give some experience appropriately."

"In this way, the people of the world will be saved."

And the same problem bothered Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di.

It turned out that they thought that the subjugation of the Ming Dynasty was caused by Emperor Chongzhen's waste physique alone, but they didn't expect that a small ice age would be involved now.

This shifts their point of conflict.

And as for how to make Da Ming survive this suffering little ice age, their eyes couldn't help turning to the sky mirror above.

The picture in the video is still playing slowly:

"In the first year of Chongzhen, the sky in Shaanxi was as red as blood."

"Five years of famine, six years of floods, seven years of autumn locusts, and eight years of severe drought."

"Nine years of locusts, ten years of no harvest, 11 years of migratory locusts, 13 years of severe drought, and 14 years of severe drought."

"It can be said that from the first year of Chongzhen to the 14th year of Chongzhen, there were ten years of severe drought and locust plagues."

"It's also a rare thing in history."

"After the severe drought, the people scrambled to eat the grass in the mountains, and after eating the bark, they ate the Guanyin soil, and in the end they could only grow up and die!"

"White bones and green phosphorus, every night is like hearing ghosts crying."

"As for the officials of Ming Dynasty, they are well-clothed and well-fed, so they don't have to worry about food and clothing."

"Since the 13th year of Chongzhen, the severe plague has swept through the Ming Dynasty, which has just taken a breath."

"By the 14th year of Chongzhen, the plague had spread throughout Hebei Province and surrounding areas."

"And this plague is the plague. This severe plague lasted until September in the 16th year of Chongzhen, and it was not considered to be over."

"Natural disasters continue, the plague is rampant, and after causing a devastating blow to the population and economic development, the local society is in a very fragile state. Bandits and refugees are everywhere, and civil uprisings continue to break out everywhere."

"The Ming Dynasty didn't seem to see these tragedies. Instead, they continued to distribute three salaries and required farmers to pay grain and tax."

"And what's more terrible about the plague is that it has had a bad effect on the army."

"The soldiers in the Beijing camp have no combat effectiveness, so that there is only one soldier guarding every three crenels on the Beijing city wall."

The desperate Emperor Chongzhen had to lower his noble head, put aside the face of the royal family, and begged his courtiers for money.

"Chongzhen's old father-in-law pledged 3000 taels of silver!"

"This is just a drop in the bucket in the old father-in-law's family, not even a tenth of what Emperor Chongzhen thought in his heart."

"Chongzhen donated 1 taels when he saw his father-in-law. He was very upset and sent someone to ask him to donate more."

"This time I offended my old father-in-law, who turned his head and ran to his daughter, Empress Zhou, crying poorly."

"Empress Zhou couldn't bear it, so she took out 5000 taels and donated some more. Who knew that this guy only donated 2000 taels after stealing 3000 taels."

"And after King Chuang entered the city, Zhou Kui handed over his family's treasures after being tortured severely, including 53 taels of silver alone!"

However, Wei Zaode, the chief assistant minister, the number one scholar who was placed with great hopes by Emperor Chongzhen, only donated 500 taels.

When King Chuang's men caught him, he said brazenly, "If you want to be effective, then you dare to die."

Chuang Wang's subordinates couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded Wei Zaode as a thief who harmed the country and didn't know how to govern the country at all.

Wei Zaode also brazenly said that he is just a scholar, and all these faults are Chongzhen's fault and have nothing to do with him.

This time even Chuang Wang's subordinates couldn't stand it anymore, and ordered them to slap their mouths dozens of times!

In the end, Emperor Chongzhen only borrowed 20 taels from his courtiers, but after Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he seized nearly 7000 million taels of silver.

What's more, when Li Zicheng attacked Luoyang City, King Fu was sitting on countless wealth and ten thousand hectares of fertile land, and he was indifferent to the voice of local officials crying for food.

In the end, King Fu was arrested, and 3000 million taels of silver was confiscated.

In the year of Chongzhen, there were already millions of royal family members under the vassal king. These people only knew how to eat and drink for free, which caused a great burden on the country's finances.

But when the country is in crisis, they don't give up any money, and those civil servants who talk about the Ming Dynasty and the country are even more tenacious.

No wonder Chongzhen on Meishan left the last sentence: "Every civil servant can be killed!"

Instead of running away, he chose to commit suicide and die for his country. He must have been disheartened enough for these courtiers.
