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

Chapter 22 Those who do great things seek defeat before winning.

In real history, Ni Yuanlu and Fan Jingwen were the reform pioneers in the late Chongzhen period. They tried to restore the "one whip method" to enhance the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

who knew...

The wealthy gentry in the south of the Yangtze River wave their capital in a clattering manner, and their capital methods are sneaky. National affairs are all controlled by remote control...

The Ming Dynasty finally fell to capital.

What is capitalism?

First, capital controls a large number of means of production and production tools; second, capital attempts to successfully control government affairs.

Funny isn't it?

Is Ming Dynasty the bud of capital?

Interpreted in terms of Capital - No!

The Ming Dynasty has entered the middle stage of capitalism.

However, driven by capital, capitalism sprouted in Ming Dynasty, but was deleted...

……

"That's it, that's it!"

Ni Yuanlu stood up, took off her belt, placed a stool on the table, and climbed up.

He threaded the belt through the rafters and tied it in a tight knot.

"If there is knowledge in the underworld, I would like to see what benefits they can get!"

Ni Yuanlu looked to the southeast with a look of disgust...

……

Wang Zhang made up his mind to defend the city, while Ni Yuanlu was determined to die.

And Ling Yiqu——

The last river management expert in the history of the Ming Dynasty recruited hundreds of warriors and went straight to Chang'an Gate, the gate of the imperial palace.

There are rumors that Zhu Chunchen wants to surround the emperor, and this morning he heard the sound of cannons coming from the direction of the palace.

Ling Yiqu immediately spent all his wealth and recruited these young men.

He wants to protect the emperor!

……

When he arrived at the palace, he discovered that Zhu Chunchen's army had already fled.

The imperial palace, the center of the Ming Dynasty, was deserted without a single soldier to guard it...

(Historical fact: Zhu Chunchen first besieged the palace, but later for unknown reasons, the army was defeated. Zhu Chunchen locked all the palace doors when he left.)

Looking at the palace gate with abandoned armor and a mess on the ground, Ling Yiqu sighed deeply.

The country will not be a country!

He sighed, ignored his sadness, and immediately arranged for strong men, each armed with weapons, to go to the top of the city for defense.

……

Disaster is like a mirror looking into a demon, and monsters and monsters have no way to hide under this bright mirror.

And loyalty - there are righteous people who are not afraid of death to sing it!

Dear gentlemen, please remember every hero who stepped forward in times of crisis in China!

Living in a prosperous age, all we need to do is be grateful and remember the martyrs!

Only when you know loyalty and righteousness can you be called a human being!

……

The capital was in chaos, but Zhu Youjian held the hand of Prince Zhu Cihong:

"Prince, after you and some of the courtiers leave the capital, you must not delay and just go eastward!"

Zhu Cixiang was not yet 15 years old. The young man's face was in panic. With tears in his eyes, he asked in a wet voice: "May I ask my father, where are you going?"

"Go to Tianjin!" Chongzhen pointed at Queen Zhou:

"Queen, follow the prince!"

He stretched out his hand to wipe away Queen Zhou's tears:

"You should understand what I mean. Take the prince to Tianjin to find Cao Huachun. He has prepared a boat and asked him to take you to avoid the sea temporarily. When I have established a firm footing, you can come back to find me."

It was Eunuch Cao who was slandered in Kaicheng. When the situation was tense, he raised a group of ships at his own expense to take Chongzhen to the south of the Yangtze River. Who knew that the emperor was trapped and killed in the Forbidden City by civil servants...

Zhu Youjian naturally understands that eggs cannot be put in one basket.

Even though he was [-]% sure of leaving, he was still fully prepared.

In real history, Chongzhen did the same thing. Before he committed suicide, he arranged an escape route for his three sons.

It's a pity that he entrusted his three sons to the courtiers who trusted him, but the courtiers dedicated them all to Li Zicheng!

What a great irony!

Queen Zhou was about to cry, and was pushed by Queen Zhang beside her. She whispered:

“Sister, this is not the time to be indecisive!

Remember, don’t hesitate when you leave the palace. No matter it is a good decision or a bad decision, only if you take it out can you have hope of life! "

Zhang Yan warned carefully.

She lost her mother when she was young and took care of all household matters by herself. She was much more independent-minded than the Zhou family who was born into a wealthy family in the gentle village of Jiangnan.

It is precisely because Zhang Yan has her own opinion that she was able to single-handedly push Chongzhen to the throne when Tianqi was seriously ill.

Queen Zhou nodded while crying.

She couldn't bear to leave His Majesty, let alone her own child!

The emperor has already said that the three princes will break out in three ways...

Both of them are meat that fell off her body. She is so distressed as a mother!

Zhu Youjian put his arms around Zhou's waist, hugged her hard, and whispered in her ear:

"If things go wrong and I am in trouble, take the prince and find a way to escape to North Korea, and then immediately transfer to Japan. After arriving in Japan, look for missionaries and go to the New World. Remember not to go to the European countries! "

During the Ming Dynasty, the distribution of countries in the world was already known, and there was even a color map of the world handed down - "The Complete Map of Kunyu and Ten Thousand Kingdoms of the Ming Dynasty".

The high-definition picture is too big to be uploaded. There are many online. Those who are familiar with geography will find that Australia is missing.

(Note: The historical record of this map is that it was drawn by Li Zhizao in collaboration with Italian missionary Matteo Ricci in the 30th year of Wanli. It includes Antarctica, which was newly discovered at that time, and the New World North and South America, but does not include Australia.

The international academic community has confirmed that the picture is real and the person is fake. The picture was made before the fifteenth century)

Both Queen Zhou and the prince were reluctant to leave, and Zhu Youjian ordered Li Banghua:

"Leave with the queen and prince!"

Li Banghua knew that the situation was urgent, so he immediately saluted the two of them, waved to call the two women, and helped Zhou and the prince leave.

"Prince Ding!" Chongzhen pulled his second son, Prince Ding, the third prince, and said, "Follow Queen Yi'an!"

Zhu Youjian bowed and saluted the emperor's sister-in-law Zhang again:

"Sister-in-law, it's a long way to Xiangfu, so I'll leave Jiong'er to you!"

Zhang Yan is from Xiangfu (Xiangfu District, Kaifeng, Henan), so it is easier for her to take the prince back to her hometown and hide.

Zhang Yan turned sideways to avoid Chongzhen who was saluting. She nodded and solemnly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as I am still alive, Jiong'er will not be harmed at all!"

Zhu Youjian reached out and pulled Zhu Cijiong, pressed his head and kowtowed to Zhang Yan:

"Sister-in-law, today I will adopt Jiong'er to you. From now on, you are both aunt and mother. If this son does something wrong, just teach him a lesson!"

In real history, Zhang Yan gave Zhu Cijiong a chance to live with her life. He could not repay this kindness.

The emperor's sister-in-law, Zhang Yan, had no children, and the emperor's brother, Emperor Tianqi, had no heirs. The third prince was adopted by Tianqi and Zhang Yan. On the one hand, he stepped into Zhu Youxiao's family, and on the other hand, it allowed Zhu Cijiong to return the favor to future generations. Kindness!

Moreover - once adopted, Zhu Cijiong will not be so conspicuous even if he becomes a branch of the royal family...

Zhu Youjian is trying his best to pave an extra path for children to survive...

Zhang Yan is much smarter than Zhou.

She can accept Chongzhen's approach.

The emperor is protecting Zhu Cijiong's life!

Once the emperor fails, Zhu Cijiong will have a reason to adopt him and no longer be the heir to the country. By then, no matter who controls the country, his chances of survival will increase a bit.

"Don't worry, Emperor. After today, Jiong'er will be my son. If he makes the slightest mistake, I will not hesitate to give you advice!"

Zhang Yan bent down and said goodbye to Zhu Youjian. Without the emperor's urging, she immediately jumped down the passage and walked out.
