Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

"You three, go quickly to gather your family members and enter the palace to see His Majesty!" Fan Jingwen suppressed his sadness, hurriedly explained, and rode away again.

The sadness is deep in my heart!

He must find Ni Yuanlu.

A Wang Zhang can 'die', and even himself can die!

However, the foundation of Ming Dynasty must be preserved!

His Majesty believed in him, even if he risked his life, he would put together the list that His Majesty gave him...

……

on the city head.

Wang Zhang stood on the chair where Meng Zhaoxiang had just been sitting. He straightened his spine so that the Ming army on top of the city could see him.

"Sons!" Wang Zhang raised his arms and shouted:

"I am Wang Zhang, the censor of the army. That's right, I am the censor who knows everything you say he doesn't know, but knows how to tell secrets behind his back, and knows how to talk!"

He looked around at the tired soldiers around him and shouted loudly: "I am not afraid of death as a bad scholar. The country is in a critical situation of life and death. You soldiers who protect your home and country, why would you hesitate to die?"

"I'm not afraid of death, are you?"

The sergeants had been exhausted after fighting for a day, and after a short period of stimulation, their fatigue became even more apparent.

The soldiers who had lost most of their energy and spirit were suddenly shaken after hearing Wang Zhang's words, and they roared angrily:

"Today is all about death!"

"die!"

"die!"

"die!"

There were generals running around, repeating what Wang Zhang had just said. The soldiers who heard Wang Zhang's words cheered up and pushed back the intruders who had just attacked the city.

Wang Zhang stood upright so that the soldiers on the top of the city could see him.

He looked at the crowded outer city and felt like he was in a state of enlightenment.

Wang Zhang knew that the city could not be defended for long.

The reason why he was able to hold on to the city head before was because there were too many houses in the outer city and it was difficult to deploy artillery. Li Thief could only set up the cannon outside the city and aim blindly at the direction of the inner city, but the cannonballs were inaccurate.

But even so, he couldn't hold on!

There are too few soldiers!

The capital has more than 15 city ultimatums, and the Ming army - one soldier has to guard three city ultimatums!

This is when the outer city was not lost and a large number of courtiers and generals did not rebel!

At this time, after experiencing a large number of rebellions, their military strength was greatly reduced.

One soldier has to guard five or six city ultimatums, and one person has to guard the city head with a radius of two feet!

How can you hold on?

The invading army opposite them numbered 80, and those who entered the outer city alone numbered as many as [-]!

And here at Zhengyangmen, there are only [-] remnant troops.

This is the place with the strongest military strength!

Moreover, the gunners of the insurgent army gradually adjusted their firing range. At this time, more and more shells were hitting the city head...

The city will no longer be able to be defended!

Wang Zhang walked aside and missed the city gate tower that blocked his view.

He looked at the magnificent palace city in the distance and burst into tears.

Wang Zhang knelt at the top of the city, facing the direction of the palace, and respectfully paid homage with a big salute:

"Your Majesty, I have to take the first step!"

"It has been three hundred years since the dynasty of the country has nurtured scholars, and someone has to repay this kindness..."

"Wang Zhang is not talented and cannot help the country. Today, let me use my passion to awaken the bloody spirit of the people!"

……

Everywhere you look, there is devastation.

This is a country that has suffered many disasters, and this is a nation that is so kind that the scars are always healed and the pain is forgotten, and they choose to forgive generously;

There is always someone who is going to do something;

There are always people who want to cry out in the ridicule of the world;

The world laughs at me for being crazy - but I just love my country deeply...

Foolishness and stupidity, stupidity and stupidity...

I just don’t want the country that gave birth to me and raised me to suffer harm again...

There's always someone up to something!

Wang Zhang gritted his teeth and looked determined to die...

I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood, hoping to awaken the soul of China!

……

Most of the people who died for the country in the late Ming Dynasty were ostracized in party struggles, resigned voluntarily, or were falsely accused and dismissed, and were reinstated in the late Chongzhen period.

Fan Jingwen, Ling Yiqu... the same is true for Ni Yuanlu.

Just over a year after he started his career, he was promoted like a rocket from the right minister of the Ministry of War and a bachelor's degree student to the minister of the Ministry of Households and a member of the Hanlin Academy.

The emperor's determination to reform is not small, and his support for the courtiers is not small!

However, the government has collapsed, let alone the reform of the government. Ni Yuanlu is working in his official position, and the officials under him not only do not support it, but also exclude each other and attack each other. He, the Minister of Household Affairs, cannot make a difference at all.

Even so, Ni Yuanlu still conscientiously does what she can.

however……

At this time, Ni Yuanlu knew that the Ming Dynasty was over.

He dismissed his disciples, closed the door tightly, and sat in his study.

Listening to the constant sound of gunfire in the city, Ni Yuanlu sighed:

"The Ming Dynasty is dead!"

He stood up, took off his official robe and laid it on the desk, then picked up the wolf brush, which was covered with the newly ground ink, and swung it away:

"I will report to your majesty, especially the southern capital! Your majesty, the country should retreat to the south of the Yangtze River as a plan for the future!

Today I die to thank the country, it is my duty.

Do not bury me after death, otherwise my body will be exposed outside to express my inner sorrow. "

Ni Yuanlu's hands are trembling. Your Majesty is so kind, but I can't repay it in this life!

He dropped his pen and knelt down facing north: "Your Majesty, I bid you farewell. Your Majesty, if the underworld knows, I will be your Majesty's pawn..."

He kowtowed respectfully and paid homage according to the funeral rites.

With the country at this point, Ni Yuanlu knew clearly that not only would she die, but His Majesty would not be able to escape either!

After praying and kneeling for a long time, Ni Yuanlu stood up. He looked around the study room filled with books, his face full of sadness, but he laughed loudly:

"Hahaha……"

"The wealthy gentry from Jiangnan is really clever!"

I recall that when Your Majesty ascended the throne, the Eunuch family was the only one in power. Your Majesty disintegrated the Eunuch family in just a few months. Then Dong Lin and others wanted to regain power, but were divided by Your Majesty.

His Majesty has been in office for 17 years, and there is no dominant party in the court. However...

"You still haven't officially received an imperial education!"

Ni Yuanlu smiled bitterly.

I can only hate that Your Majesty, who is so smart, failed to see clearly the essence of the party struggle - the struggle between the wealthy and gentry!

He thought that by balancing the factions in the court, internal strife could be calmed down.

Your Majesty, how do you understand that if the wealthy gentry can hold up a Donglin, they can hold up a Fushe, and they can also hold up a Jishe. As for the New Zhejiang Party, the New Propaganda Party... or the "Moderate Party", "Zhou Party" "Yang Sect", "Liu Sect", "Kong Sect"... What does it mean to them who are rich and wealthy?

Your Majesty opposes party struggle and one party's dominance, then they will support more than a dozen parties to speak for themselves...

Ugh!

Ni Yuanlu sighed.
