Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 127 Problems with the Ming System
"What are you going to do?"

Old Zhu said curiously that he himself had some ideas about how to deal with Shanxi Shanxi merchants, but he still wanted to hear Zhu Houzhao's opinion.

Compare each other to see whose method can make Shanxi Shanxi merchants deeply feel what is called the punishment of betrayal.

Lao Zhu hated merchants, and the basic national policy of the Ming Dynasty was to emphasize agriculture and suppress merchants. In addition, Shanxi Shanxi merchants were also charged with treason, and this disgust has reached the point where it cannot be added.

Peeling the grass, pumping the intestines. He invented many tortures that should be given to Shanxi merchants.

It can also be used to frighten the people of the world and let some people who are ready to move know that there is a price to be paid for treason.

And this price, ninety-nine out of ten people in the world cannot afford it.

"What is Grandpa going to do?"

Zhu Houzhao asked back.

"How to do it?"

Old Zhu showed a cruel smile, which combined with his aura of calm and prestige, made him look particularly tyrannical: "Illegal smuggling, betraying the country for glory, such unfaithful, unfilial, benevolent and unrighteous people should be sentenced to death, and the nine clans will be exterminated." .”

"When you catch the Shanxi Shanxi merchants, do as the great grandfather said!"

Zhu Houzhao didn't say much. This is the Chongzhen Dynasty, not his Zhengde Dynasty. It is unrealistic for Shanxi Shanxi merchants to plant land and open up wasteland.

"Never in our wildest dreams would we have imagined that the Ming Dynasty we created would be so chaotic."

Old Zhu said something with great emotion.

He created the Great Ming Dynasty, and every law and system that he enacted, all hoped that the Great Ming Dynasty would last forever, but the facts proved that there is no empire that never declines in the world, and all his expectations are just dreams.

Dream, dream, just because it's just a dream, just thinking.

Zhu Houzhao didn't answer the question, he knew the disadvantages of Daming better than anyone else. Of course there was the fault of Zhu Qizhen, the emperor of the family, but more problems were caused by the system of Daming.

The basic system of the Ming Dynasty established by Lao Zhu is that the royal family is the highest, and scholars, farmers, and businessmen are juxtaposed in order. Military households will always be military households, and craftsmen will always be craftsmen, resulting in serious class consolidation.

The class is solidified, and there is no opportunity to pursue a higher status. Military households and craftsmen are beginning to lie flat, businessmen are evading taxes crazily, scholars are getting higher and higher, and other classes are out of reach. It has already been planted, no matter how it develops, Daming cannot escape the fate of decline.

Although Zhu Qizhen, the Son of Heaven, is hateful and disgraceful, his appearance only accelerated the decline of Ming Dynasty!

There are always many people in later generations discussing the demise of Ming Dynasty. Some people think that Ming Dynasty died in Wanli Zhu Yijun. Daming fell into the abyss completely.

Some people think that the Ming Dynasty died in Jiajing Zhu Houcong, and his failure caused the power of the civil official group to skyrocket, completely overwhelming the forces of all parties, causing the court to lose its balance, and started a protracted party struggle!
Some people think that Daming died because of Xuande and Zhu Zhanji, because he gave up Hetao, Annan, Xinjiang and other places, but in fact, Daming’s control over Hetao, Annan, Xinjiang and other places is almost zero, and a lot of financial and material resources are invested in it. , Even a little splash can't float, and giving up is also a helpless move.

Some people even think that the reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty originated from Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Youtang, Zhu Jianshen, and Zhu Youxiao. In short, the public said that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and the reasons are very sufficient.

But in fact, the fundamental problem of Ming Dynasty is the imperfection of the system. If the system of Ming Dynasty can be opened up a little bit, Daming will not be less than 300 years old.

It is precisely because he is aware of the shortcomings of the Ming system that Zhu Houzhao will actively carry out reforms. If he wants to make Daming truly go far beyond the Han and Tang Dynasties, and surpass the ancients, he must change Daming from the root.

In the capital, Zhu Cihong's house raiding operation is going on vigorously, it's going to be crazy!

Cheng Guogong, Qingyuanhou, Guangenbo, Ningyanghou, Anyuanbo, Ningyuanhou. Nobles, big and small, except for the British public Zhang Zhiji, none of them escaped the fate of being ransacked.

Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Cheng, tried to resist by relying on his honor and in-laws, but Zhu Cihong ended up with a knife.

In the original historical trend, when Li Zicheng captured the capital, he had no integrity, opened the door and surrendered, and the son-in-law of Cheng Guo died in the end under Zhu Cihong's sword.

Copy the house, keep copying the house!

Zhu Cihong led Jin Yiwei to make the capital panic, and everyone was afraid that he would be the next to be found.

In the process of ransacking the house, Zhu Cihong's remaining bit of kindness was completely obliterated. The wealth owned by these nobles was even worse than that of the Donglin Party.

Among the many nobles whose houses were confiscated by him, one was richer than the other, and the gold and silver piled up like mountains, exuding seductive light, which refreshed Zhu Cihong's cognition of the Three Views over and over again.

The only one who is truly poor is his father Zhu Youjian!
He had a thorough understanding that few of the civil and military forces in the dynasty were clean, and moths were everywhere. How could such a great Ming not decline, how could it not be defeated.

If you want to save Da Ming, you have to kill, kill all the moths that erode the foundation of Da Ming, and Da Ming can regain a new life.

In this way, a generation of super ruthless people was born slowly in the withering of life, stepping on the noble blood.

After awakening, Zhu Cihong acted more unscrupulously and cruelly. Some nobles refused to open the door, so he simply led Jin Yiwei in and directly carried out bloody massacres.

What he wants is money. At present, money is needed everywhere in the imperial court. As for the life of Xungui, he doesn't take it seriously at all. It's just a moth. If you die, you die.

He realized it, and his heart was cold!
Zhu Cihong went from simply ransacking his home to bloodbathing the capital. It's not that the old Zhu family in the palace didn't know about it, but they didn't want to care about it. The civil and military ministers of the Chongzhen Dynasty were all rotten to the root.

Moreover, they still have more important matters to deal with, and they have no time to take care of Zhu Cihong for the time being.

Yuan Chonghuan sent another memorial, still asking for military pay, and mentioned in the memorial that if the imperial court did not send the general's salary, he would not be able to suppress the soldiers below.

Full of strong threats!

"Damn."

Furious, Zhu Youjian threw Yuan Chonghuan's memorial to the ground, wishing to tear Yuan Chonghuan and his gang of warlords into pieces.

How long has it been since the last time he was asked for military salary, and now he is urging the military salary in a desperate manner, really taking him for a fool.

The Donglin Party fooled him, and the border warlords bullied him. Zhu Youjian is not a soft persimmon. If he really wants to push him, he must kill Yuan Chonghuan first.

As Zhu Houzhao said, it is not that the Ming Dynasty did not have generals capable of recruiting good fighters, and he, Yuan Chonghuan, was not the only one, nor was he irreplaceable.

Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao, Chen Qiyu, Mu Tianbo, Qin Liangyu, Huang Degong. Without Yuan Chonghuan, the sky would collapse!
