Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed

Chapter 41

Inside Qianqing Palace, Han Cheng's voice sounded slowly.

From the original plain narration, it also became a little impassioned.

In the end, it was even more desolate.

When future generations look at history, they see the end of Chongzhen.

His heart is also complicated.

But no matter what, no matter how many stupid things he did before, in terms of integrity alone, Chongzhen is not lacking.

Appreciated.

As Han Cheng's voice fell, the Qianqing Palace was already quiet.

Neither Zhu Yuanzhang nor Zhu Biao spoke.

Obviously, they were still engrossed in what Han Cheng had just told, and they didn't come back to their senses.

Whether it is Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Biao, the expressions on their faces are very complicated.

After this silence lasted for quite a while, Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and let it out again.

His view of Chongzhen has also changed a lot from being as stupid as a pig at the beginning.

Although he still felt that Chongzhen was too stupid.

But just like what Han Cheng said, Chongzhen still has integrity.

At least they didn't lose the dignity of their old Zhu family!

Unlike the emperor of the Song Dynasty, who was weak and incompetent.

The integrity that should be there is not at all.

What kind of sheep-raising ceremony are you doing?

What concubines, princesses, nobles, were wantonly insulted by barbarians.

Countless people committed suicide because of unbearable humiliation, and there was a princess who died when the valley road was broken...

Just thinking about it makes me feel ashamed and angry!
If his descendants are like those emperors of the Song Dynasty, then he will really vomit blood and die in anger!
"Chongzhen, this descendant of ours, no matter whether he is stupid or not, he has not lost our old Zhu's family!!"

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang finally spoke a word.

Prince Zhu Biao had a complex expression.

The choice Chongzhen made between life and death also changed many of his impressions of Chongzhen.

After Zhu Yuanzhang said this, the Qianqing Palace once again fell into silence.

Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and his son were still immersed in the emotions of the demise of the Ming Dynasty and the death of Emperor Chongzhen, and did not come out.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again.

He looked at Han Cheng and said, "You have told us so much about our descendant Chongzhen, saying that our descendant has done so many stupid things.

Why does it sound like the death of Ming Dynasty is all the fault of our descendants?
Could it be that those who are courtiers have no mistakes? "

When he said this, Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was not right.

Obviously, the death of Chongzhen that Han Cheng told him just now had a great impact on him.

Let him unconsciously want to prove something for Chongzhen.

Han Cheng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, that's not the case.

The death of Ming Dynasty cannot be entirely blamed on Chongzhen.

On the one hand, it is what I said before, the periodicity of the dynasty.

On the other hand, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty are also responsible for this!
Inescapable!

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, party disputes were extremely serious, especially the Donglin Party.

This thing is full of benevolence and morality, but it does the dirtiest and most shameless things!
Typically, talk about people and don't do people's business.

In words, he is more honest than anyone else, more honest than anyone else, and more patriotic than anyone else.

But in fact, all of them are corrupt and bribery, all kinds of blood suckers!

The male whore and the female thief, and the sanctimonious, have been interpreted to the extreme!
All kinds of land damage the public and private interests!
Of those clean people, which one is not rich?
Especially for some of the more famous people, there are tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, or even more!
The land of one, or even several counties, is theirs!
There are countless servants in the family!

Their land is not taxed at all.

In addition, corruption and bribery are also extremely serious.

Drinking soldiers' blood was extremely serious.

In the late Ming Dynasty, why was the Ming army not capable of fighting?

In addition to various institutional reasons, there is another most important reason, that is, soldiers do not receive much military pay at all!
You even need to fight hungry!

Is it because Chongzhen didn't know the truth that the emperor didn't send hungry soldiers?
Not!
he knows.

But after Wei Zhongxian was dealt with as soon as he got started, Daming couldn't collect taxes anymore.

Daming couldn't collect taxes, but because of various disasters and internal and external worries, the money needed increased again.

The financial crisis came at once.

In fact, the tax collected by Daming is not low.

It's just that, the vast majority of taxes.It all fell into the hands of officials at all levels.

Of the taxes collected by the Ming Dynasty, none of the [-]% went to the national treasury.

In addition, there are also various corruption and bribery in the army, various deduction of military pay, and drinking of soldiers' blood.

The phenomenon of eating empty wages is extremely serious.

In an army, more than half, or even two-thirds, are vacant, and there are very few staff members.

As for the soldiers who were in the ranks, their food and salaries were also severely deducted by the Shangguan.

This kind of ethos of eating empty wages comes down layer by layer.

In the later period of the Chongzhen Dynasty, the chaos was very serious.

It is the time when soldiers are needed.

However, these many officials regard it as a good opportunity to make a fortune.

Chongzhen used all kinds of means to sell iron and pot, and finally got some money and food, which was distributed as military pay.

As a result, the money and food were reduced by half before leaving the capital.

After this level of exploitation, the two million taels of silver really fell into the hands of soldiers, not even 200 taels..."

"boom!!"

Before Han Cheng's words fell, there was a bang in the room.

But it turned out to be Zhu Yuanzhang, who slapped the table in front of him.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's complexion was ashen, and his beard and hair were all stretched out!
"Dog thief! Good dog thief!!

All of them are moths! !

They're all moths! ! !
These moths should really be chopped down one by one!

We killed too few!
We killed corrupt officials, but we killed too few!

We have always thought about making fewer corrupt officials.

Don't let us, Ming Dynasty, follow the old path of the Yuan Dynasty.

Don't let the scene at the end of the Yuan Dynasty appear!
Therefore, we have been taking action to punish corrupt officials!
But it turned out...to the late Ming Dynasty. , there are still so many corrupt officials!
So many moths!
They ate my Daming's food and were paid for it.

But he didn't do a little loyalty for me at all!

What a great idea they have!
Just like these officials in the Yuan Dynasty, after the Yuan Dynasty died, he can still be an official in our Ming Dynasty!

Our Great Ming is gone, they can continue to be officials in the new dynasty, and continue to live their happy life!

Damn it!Damn it! ! "

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.

After a while, it finally calmed down a little.

Looking at Han Chengdao: "Speak! Tell us again how these thieves corrupted our Daming!
We will kill them all! ! "

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang in this state, Han Cheng seemed a little hesitant.

I don't know if I should tell some more exciting things...
