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

Seeing that something had happened, Wang Chengen was a little flattered. He rubbed the painful place and was about to say something, but he only heard a "boom", which shocked everyone.

There is a house on the left with a big hole in the roof...

Everyone looked up and saw that the artillery on top of the city was already aimed at them. Above one of the cannons, curls of green smoke were still drifting away.

It turned out that the soldiers on the top of the city had received the instructions and were driving them away with artillery.

Cheng En was so angry that his liver and gallbladder were split apart, and he couldn't stop cursing.

A group of eunuchs were also very angry and cursed one after another. What's more, they raised their muskets and fired at the city wall.

What responded to them was several cannons that turned their direction and aimed their black muzzles at them.

"Your Majesty, what should we do? Those damn courtiers have sealed off the palace and are trying to capture us alive!"

Wang Chengen's face turned pale and he asked hurriedly.

He had lost all control and had no idea what to do.

Eunuch Wang Lian led people around from the other direction:

"Your Majesty, the city gates I inspected either refused to open, or someone locked the palace gates with iron locks from the outside.

The palace door is too thick and the material is too strong. I can't even open it with a giant axe! "

Wang Lian's face was ashen.

When Wang Chengen heard what his adopted son Wang Lian said, his face turned even paler.

It's over, it's over!

This is to force them to death!

"Hmph, that's true!"

Zhu Youjian snorted coldly.

The cold records in history are far more than one ten thousandth of what the courtiers did at this time!

These sons of bitches, just the day before yesterday, even exchanged the 10,000+ city defense silver donated by the original owner from the eunuchs into ghost coins and distributed them to the defenders who were desperately defending the city...

Shameless!

Your mother and maidservant, they only paid a few hundred taels of silver, but they put more than 20 taels of silver in their pockets!

There are still people washing here!

Fortunately, I have come to this era, otherwise, wouldn’t you have forced another Chongzhen to death?

"let's go!"

Zhu Youjian turned his horse's head and walked toward the palace. He turned around and ordered: "My dear companion, order the two queens, the prince, and all the princesses and princes to be summoned to the Huangji Palace!"

Wang Chengen hurriedly ordered his adopted son Wang Lian to go.

Zhu Youjian whispered a few more instructions to Wang Chengen, who left with a confused look on his face.

……

The Huangji Hall was originally called the Fengtian Hall. The surrounding terrain was empty and it was the first of the three main halls of the Forbidden City. After Fulin invaded the Central Plains, it was renamed the Taihe Hall.

In front of Huangji Hall, Zhu Youjian stood with his hands behind his back.

He is waiting.

As an emperor, how could he escape from the sewers!

(Going through the sewers can indeed circumvent the siege of the rebel ministers.

However, the Chuang army surrounded the capital!

He can't escape either! )

Therefore, the only plan for now is——

Build a hot air balloon!

Only this kind of "god object" that spans the ages can shock the Chuang army and give him enough time to evacuate his loyal ministers.

It's just a hot air balloon. He can't handle a long-distance flight. How difficult is it for a short flight?

100 years later, the first manned hot air balloon appeared in Paris. It was made of heavy linen paper sandwiched with bamboo strips as bones. The airbags were filled with thick smoke from burning grass on the ground and flew up!

Just like that, the flight lasted a full 25 minutes!

From 1644 to 1860, there was no generational difference in technology.

Daming’s technology is enough!

The manpower needed to make a hot air balloon is far beyond what Wang Chengen can gather with dozens of eunuchs.

He needs all the maids and eunuchs in the palace to take action!

~

The weather has gotten worse over the years.

Although it is about to enter early summer, it is chilly everywhere.

The biting cold wind blew the red dragon robe on Zhu Youjian's body. Under the night, the face that could not be seen clearly became darker and darker.

……

The imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty, infiltrated by courtiers, was like a net leaking air everywhere.

Zhu Youjian understood: before making a hot air balloon, one thing must be done first - get rid of these foreign ministers' eyeliners!

……

The emperor was surrounded by ministers in the palace and prepared to dedicate it to Dashun Li Zicheng. The emperor personally led the eunuchs to kill him, but he couldn't get the news out of the palace and walked away.

People are panicking!

The maids and eunuchs were scurrying around like headless flies. What's more, some had bulging bags in their arms or small bags on their backs, stealing the valuable belongings in the palace and scattering them away in all directions.

Wang Chengen led the eunuchs from the martial arts hall and killed several people before stopping the dispersing crowd.

He gathered together the things Zhu Youjian needed, and drove groups of palace maids and eunuchs to the front of the Huangji Palace.

Everyone was huddled together, whispering everywhere, and it was as chaotic as a vegetable market.

Piles of bonfires were lit in the Huangji Palace Square.

The red bonfire dispersed the darkness and shone on Chongzhen. Everyone saw that the emperor was right in front of them, and they felt a little bit more at ease.

However, it was still very confusing!

Ugh!

Zhu Youjian sighed, people were panicking.

It seems that only by cleaning up people's hearts can we expect them to do anything.

Zhu Youjian stood on the tall throne and said in a deep voice:

"The thieves are besieging the city, and the noble and dishonest officials want to kill me!"

After hearing the emperor's personal admission of the rumors, the maids and eunuchs couldn't stop whispering among themselves, and even the timid ones were whimpering.

The scene became increasingly chaotic.

Zhu Youjian ignored it and continued:

"I have been working diligently since I came to the throne, and I have been working hard for more than ten years. How could I have made any mistakes?"

After hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then started whispering among themselves:

"Yes, our Majesty is really diligent!"

"Isn't it true? His Majesty has less than three hours of rest every day, and his morning court is almost uninterrupted..."

"Yes, your majesty is very dedicated. In the entire Ming Dynasty for nearly 300 years, only Emperor Taizu can rival your majesty!"

"The imperial court was unable to provide military pay, so His Majesty emptied all his money just to pay the soldiers..."

……

Some people seem to disagree:

"However, people inside and outside the court are saying that the emperor is bloodthirsty and is very cruel to his ministers!"

This statement was echoed by several people, and for a while, public opinion turned around.

Zhu Youjian coughed, and the scene suddenly became deserted.

For this, the ministers who have a cooperative relationship with the imperial court can point their fingers at the emperor's nose and scold him!

But - the palace maids and eunuchs are just the emperor's retainers, similar to domestic slaves. Life or death depends on the emperor's word!

The maids and eunuchs did not dare to discuss any more. Everyone was uneasy, wondering if this would anger Zhu Youjian...

Seeing that the situation was cold, Zhu Youjian chuckled contemptuously.

It seems that the person who said this is the traitor in the palace who was trained by civil servants to cheat on others!

Zhu Youjian quietly ordered Wang Chengen to take out the guys who had deliberately sabotaged things just now and deal with them.

Wang Chengen came forward with the martial arts eunuchs and dragged out several naysayers from the crowd.

Everyone became more nervous and looked at the emperor.

Zhu Youjian's face was full of calmness, which was in sharp contrast to the nervous people.

Everyone felt a little more at ease when they saw that His Majesty was so anxious and so calm.

Zhu Youjian understood that the palace people were just a piece of loose sand. If they didn't find a common enemy, there would be no hope for them!

And who else could this enemy be besides the courtiers?

Zhu Youjian looked angry and shouted:

“Don’t civil servants deserve to be punished for their corruption, bending the law and damaging the foundation of the country?”

"Does it mean that military generals drank the blood of their soldiers and drained their fat, causing the soldiers to lack clothing and food and become weak and weak? If they lose the battle, shouldn't they die?"

"Could it be that all the money and food provided by the imperial court for disaster relief were robbed by those arrogant bastards, causing chaos among the people? They shouldn't be held responsible?"

"Don't they think they should get out because they are always fighting for power and wealth, but they rely entirely on the Holy Spirit when it comes to matters, they are greedy and shameless, and they are officials and have only been serving as vegetarians?"

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the civil servants made enough money and the generals gained power. The only people who suffered were the people and the emperor!

"They want money, and I have to give them my own rags and rags. If they want food, I have to work hard and cause misery to the people. If they want soldiers, I will mobilize them and allow them to raise..."

"I give you money, food, soldiers, and power!"

"But how did they repay me?"

"All the generals who can fight have been tricked to death by them! All the ministers who can do things have been squeezed away by them..."

"I have replaced some cabinet ministers and executed some civil servants! But which one of them was not defeated or made a mistake before I dealt with it?"

This bunch of courtiers may have been unjustly killed, but 99 out of [-] were killed, and there were still some who slipped through the cracks!

Zhu Youjian gasped and asked sincerely:

"Think about it from my point of view, should they be killed?"

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have executed Wei Zhongxian, but I didn't train another thug!"

The knowledge he learned in 22 years, coupled with the scenes in the memory of the original owner, made Zhu Youjian more and more angry.

Breathing heavily, he asked something that came from the bottom of his heart:

"You all come from poor families. Please put yourself in my shoes and think carefully. Should they be killed?"

……

Why did the Ming Dynasty perish?

There are so many analyzes by so-called experts and authors on the Internet. Who dares to tell the real reason for the death of Ming Dynasty?

It was all because of greed and shamelessness that interest groups lost their basic conscience, which led to China's decline for 300 years!
