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

Zhu Youjian sighed repeatedly, how did the Ming Dynasty fall?

Anyone who knows a little bit about history knows that the Ming Dynasty died due to party strife.

The essence of party struggle is - a struggle between partisan interest groups!

To be precise, the Ming Dynasty died due to the greedy struggle driven by capital and the spontaneous formation of top-down interest groups.

This is the so-called party struggle in history books!

In a narrow sense: the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty were the same, both were ruined by civil servants!

If you don’t believe me, please take a look at the ministers who opposed the construction of the city in Liaodong. Every one of them is one of them. Which one has not been disgraced, taken away, or killed?

Why is it that even today, after nearly 400 years of verification, some people still advocate the correctness of building a city in Liaodong?

Only these two words can explain it - profit!

Build cities, and you will have oil and water. The more cities you build, the greater the oil and water will be!

It’s best to cover it and remove it! Remove the cover!

By repeatedly building a city, you can reap the benefits repeatedly.

It's best to drain the imperial court!

Because - once the court has no money, it will inevitably increase taxes. Civil servants can use their hands to earn ten times or a hundred times the court's quota!

After the imperial court received the money, it allocated money to build cities in Liaodong. Civil servants and generals once again took advantage of it and embezzled [-]% of it!

All this time, it was dozens or hundreds of times the original cost of gold and silver!

In order to make this kind of income regular, we can't let the Houjin die no matter what, so we can give it away through various cool operations!

Money, food, heads, enemy generals... Anyway, how can I help Hou Jin? How come!

Who dares to say that the city building in Liaodong is incorrect?

——Those who say something incorrect will either be dismissed from office or become a handful of bones!

If you don’t believe it, please take a look. Yuan’s warriors who built the city “lost” (financed) millions of stones of military rations three times in a row, but instead they were praised for hundreds of years!

Where are the generals who can destroy more enemies with less money?

(Where is the Qi family army? Where is Mao Wenlong? Where is the white pole army? Where is the Tianxiong army?... They were all tricked to death by their own people!)

To put it bluntly, not to mention the feudal era, even in a modern society with sound industry, how many countries dare to build hundreds of kilometers of military cities and fortresses in one go?

With the same revenue and expenditure ratio, how many such powerful companies can be found in the world?

The coffin is sealed: Liaodong's fortification\u003d harmed the country, enriched the gentry, and funded the enemy!

What a summation in one sentence: After spending so much money, even if you find a fool to throw money at it, you will be beaten to death by the backend!

(Brothers, those who advocate the correctness of building a city in Liaodong are either mentally ill or evil-hearted. No, they may also be people with vested interests.)

Please remember, defense cannot prevent a brilliant China!

There is a saying that is a guideline: If you hit with one punch, you will avoid hundreds of punches!

……

Zhu Youjian could only sigh:

"The emperor's sister-in-law can believe that if our king dies in Sheji today, those people from Jiangnan will immediately create a puppet emperor tomorrow!"

Zhang Yan's eyes widened in disbelief, and she covered Ying's mouth with soft skin, a few bits of snow-white rhinoceros exposed between her fingers.

This extremely beautiful woman was stunned by Zhu Youjian's words.

"They, how dare they?"

How dare you?

Why don't you dare!

Zhu Youjian could only sigh.

Historically, after the death of Chongzhen, the literati group such as Donglin Fushe immediately pushed out the King of Lu, Zhu Changzi, who had just fled to the south of the Yangtze River and lost power, and even firmly opposed the establishment of the King of Fu, Zhu Yousong, as emperor.

You must know that Zhu Yousong is the grandson of Emperor Wanli, but Zhu Changzi is his nephew.

Dong Lin and other parties, who have always used the order of elders and young ones and the distinction between close and distant relatives as weapons to defeat the enemy, once again played a double-standard game.

Why?

Just because Zhu Yousong has lost the domain for several years, his subordinates are trying to win over him from all over, and he has a certain foundation in Jiangnan, so it is difficult for them to control him!

And Zhu Changzi - he just fled to Jiangnan for more than a month, and he has a shitty team!

As for Donglin’s reason for objecting: Why King Fu has a bad reputation—poof! These two are worshiping gods behind the door, the eldest brother does not talk about the second brother, one is ridiculous and the other is nonsense. ˉ\\_(ツ)_/ˉ

The subsequent development was that after receiving the news, Zhu Yousong immediately showed his foundation. He sent people to find generals to support him, so King Fu succeeded to the throne with the support of Ma Shiying and others.

And King Lu, who was hiding in the same lake and got the news at the same time, didn't even know whose family he was looking for!

Now you know why Donglin recommended King Lu to be the emperor!

It has no foundation, it’s just easy to handle!

As for the subsequent development, it further illustrates their selfishness!

After Ma Shiying came to power, he teamed up with Ruan Dajue (public enemy of Donglin and Fushe) to punish the members of Donglin and Fushe. The latter was unwilling to kill them, and used the case of the real and fake prince to exert force, so Zuo Liangyu sent troops to threaten Zhu Yousong, and the Hongguang Dynasty was destroyed!

Manqing picked up a wave of heads, money, food, and land for nothing!

Oh, maybe it’s not selfishness, maybe it’s another gift.

The history of the Hongguang Dynasty is enough to prove what a bunch of people the Jiangnan literati group is.

Throughout the late Ming Dynasty: Chongzhen, Hongguang, Shaowu, and Manqing Dynasties, they were all picked up for nothing, and the Longwu court was given by Zheng Zhilong...

These interest groups have never done anything about human affairs!

……

Zhang Yan suddenly remembered her father's affairs and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

She raised her head and said softly: "I believe your majesty's conclusion that this is how my father was played by Dong Lin back then."

Zhang Yan's father, Zhang Guoji, was the father of the Ming Dynasty. Why did Emperor Tianqi delay in granting him a title?

In the entire history of the Ming Dynasty, this is the only one where scorpions pull daddy!

Why?

Because the Donglin Party members are really unkind in this matter!

After Zhang Yan entered the palace and was elected as a noble, the Donglin Party members immediately deceived Zhang Guoji and asked him to join the Donglin Party.

Who is Emperor Tianqi?

This man was a fierce man in real history. Although he missed a move in the end and was killed by falling into the water, his political vision was indeed top-notch.

The two emperors who fell into the water in the Ming Dynasty were both mediocre, so one fell into the water but was not put to death, and the other was put into the water and was put to death.

Emperor Tianqi saw the intentions of the Donglin Party, so in the entire Tianqi Dynasty, Zhang Guoji was only a co-president of the Central Military Governor's Office (empty position and no power).

As the emperor's real father-in-law, he still can't even get a title!

He was even driven back to his hometown to study!

It was at the end of Chongzhen's reign and the country was about to fall. Zhang Guoji saw that Chongzhen was in trouble and came all the way to send him money, so Chongzhen made Zhang Guoji a marquis!

……

Seeing Zhang Yan understand, Zhu Youjian nodded slightly.

There is no need to elaborate on the shamelessness of the civil servants. This group of people fought until the end of Nanming and refused to stop. They still reported attacks on each other. In the end, they were hacked by the Qing Dynasty's big swords through the three major cases. After countless deaths and injuries, they immediately knelt down. Please forgive me——

Throughout the Manchu and Qing dynasties, the literati in the south of the Yangtze River were well-behaved children. o(*￣︶￣*)o

How good is that? ——Even after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom occupied Nanjing, they were still willing to carry two wild boar tails and express their love for me...

They even slandered people for having long hair!

But he didn't want to dress up in his own clothes. When he went down, the ancestors didn't recognize his grandson!

On the contrary, there was a lack of literati in the northern land, and the remote areas of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guangzhou, where there were no literati, and there were uprisings one after another throughout the entire puppet Qing dynasty.

It is true that there are too many warehouses but no loyalty, and there is no shortage of loyalists in remote areas...

"Sister-in-law, if you and I still want to live and take back the Ming Dynasty, we must not go to Jiangnan!"

Zhu Youjian’s face was full of sincerity:

"Even if it's a devastated ruin, it's better than going to the prosperous Jiangnan."

Is Emperor Longwu capable?

Do you have a virtuous reputation?

Are you ambitious?

Even Zhu Yujian couldn't play it, let alone a later-generation otaku who had never experienced intrigues.

What he needs is a piece of white land, a piece of white paper without selfishness, not the intrigues in the bustling world!

"If Your Majesty says so, I will have a good place to go."

Zhang Yan raised her eyebrows and said this anxiously.

Zhang Yan knew that Chongzhen had not been educated in the art of emperors and could only figure it out on his own. Therefore, he was very thoughtful. When she spoke, she had to consider the feelings of her brother-in-law.

As a descendant, Zhu Youjian, who is accustomed to an environment where men and women are equal, has no such small thoughts.

He leaned forward slightly and stared at Zhang Yan: "Is the emperor's sister-in-law talking about Nanyang? Luoyang? Or Xi'an?"

Of course, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan are the best, but the roads are in other people's hands and he can't go there.

We can't go to Jiangnan, and the remaining places are all unsafe places. After thinking about it, there are only three places.

These three places were all one of the largest cities in the Ming Dynasty, and they had been harmed several times by peasant armies such as Li Zicheng. This was when the aristocratic families had the weakest control.
