Daming: The Sims, Lao Zhu’s mentality collapsed

Chapter 36 Invite King Zhou to come out!
  This section made Lao Zhu quite worried.

After ten years of independent rule, taking the affairs of the world as his own responsibility, and working conscientiously in exchange for the stability of the country, the country remains as before, this is a true national scholar.

But such a last national scholar encountered the treatment of betrayal and alienation from his relatives, and finally left the capital lonely.

Zhu Youyu did not have as outstanding achievements as his father Lao Wu. Cheng Zu Zhu Ji had been in power for 22 years and joined hands with Taizong Zhu Di to create an unprecedented great age. But Zhu Youyu has tried his best. He is doing his best to protect the legacy left by his ancestors.

Zhu Youyu witnessed the establishment of the prosperous Ming Dynasty with his own eyes, and he was also a part of this prosperous age. From Yongle to Hongxi, to Xuande, and now to Zhengtong, he devoted all his youth and manhood to this country.

He tried his best and used all his strength just to keep this country in this moment of prosperity.

He turned a flash in the pan into a flourishing business that lasted for decades.

The prosperous age of the Ming Dynasty will occupy the most brilliant page in history, and everyone will remember this great time. Zhu Ji, the founder of the prosperous age, takes the first credit, and Zhu Youyu, who maintained this prosperous age for a full twenty years, is worthy of being ranked under one person.

As Zhou Wang Zhu Youyu, who inherited the mantle of Chengzu, why should he work so hard like now? He has climbed to the top of the mountain and overwhelmed everyone with his personal force. If he wants to make money, there is no need for him to take action at all. Someone will come to give him money.

If he wanted power, he could go one step further and become a traitor who usurped the throne, and no one could stop him.

After decades of official career, everyone has abandoned their original intentions and used any means to pursue power and money, but Zhu Youyu is different.

After experiencing countless bloody storms and ups and downs of officialdom, he still maintained his ideals and never slackened for a day in order to ensure the long-lasting prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

This is Zhu Youyu, the second son of Chengzu, the current King of Zhou, the heir of the lineage of King Wu, and the last national scholar of the Ming Dynasty.

His life was not glorious. He had superior Machiavellian tactics and was cruel and ruthless towards his political opponents. As regent, he faced countless enemies who wanted to take him down during his independent career. These people were chewed up and swallowed by his bones, and his hands were covered with blood.

But his ideal is supreme!

Everything he did was for the prosperous age of the Ming Dynasty, even though tens of thousands of people died!
  A man who holds a sword for the Ming Dynasty!
  [In the year you retired, Liu Qiu, the minister of the Hanlin Academy, took advantage of the opportunity of being struck by lightning in the Fengtian Palace to express his dissent. He claimed that "the government affairs should be governed by the general principles of authority, and the virtuous ministers should be valued." This was clearly aimed at the powerful eunuchs. Wang Zhen was tortured to death by Wang Zhen. 】

[Also in the same year, Wang Yong, a member of the Jinyi Guards, posted an anonymous letter in the downtown area to expose Wang Zhen's crimes. After being discovered, Zhu Qizhen executed him immediately and late. 】

[The regent retired, the Empress Dowager Zhang passed away, Yang Rong of the cabinet passed away, and Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong were old... No one can stop Zhu Qizhen anymore. 】

[Zhu Qizhen, who was in power, finally experienced what lawlessness meant. He sent out troops wantonly and launched the Battle of Luchuan. Although this battle stabilized the southwestern frontier, "a large number of 150,000 troops were sent out, and half of the world was transferred to pay", which was a waste of the heritage left by the Four Dynasties and Six Emperors. 】

[After Zhu Qizhen came to power, the Ming Dynasty entered a troubled period. The uprising of Ye Zongliu and Deng Maoqi broke out in Fujian and Zhejiang in the 12th year of Zhengtong. It was not quelled until February of the 14th year of Zhengtong. Then Huang Xiaoyang's uprising broke out in Guangdong, which still failed to settle down after several years. 】

[Zhu Qizhen’s frequent troop dispatches brought the garrison system that maintained national defense to the brink of collapse. This system was initiated by Taizu and was stabilized during the reigns of Taizong and Chengzu. However, during the Xuanzong period, soldiers began to flee. It was only through your hard work that the loopholes were blocked. 】

[However, after Zhu Qizhen came to power, due to poor management and corruption and embezzlement by officials, the army was useless and the people were brutally poisoned. Nowadays, the military preparations are depleted, and the Ming army's combat effectiveness is not as good as before. ]     【In addition, what is even more serious is the issue of refugees. After Zhu Qizhen came to power, the registered household registration of Ming Dynasty decreased by more than 1.2 million, and the fields were reduced by nearly half. 】

[However, Zhu Qizhen did not pay attention to this danger. Instead, he tolerated the annexation of land by clans, relatives, and eunuchs. The powerful annexed the land, the landlords acted treacherously, and the common people suffered miserably. Coupled with the frequent outbreaks of natural disasters such as floods, droughts, and locusts, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty has been shaken. 】

[When you are in power, these problems can still be suppressed. But by the time Zhu Qizhen returned to power, these problems had gradually surfaced due to his wanton behavior. 】

[The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country. The Ming Dynasty was full of martial virtue, and Zhu Qizhen also had the idea of ​​​​conquering the country himself. 】

[He wanted to imitate Taizu, Taizong, Chengzu, and Xuanzong, and conduct a dignified and upright imperial conquest. The most important thing is that he wants to prove to you that he can still be a good emperor even without you as regent. 】

[The opponent he chose is: Grand Master Wala, Ye Xian. 】

[At that time, the Oara and Tatars who were dominant on the grassland were almost wiped out by Taizong and Chengzu. However, after decades of recuperation, they took advantage of the Ming army's laxity in the past few years after Zhu Qizhen succeeded to the throne. , developed rapidly again. 】

[He also sent his troops southward first, approaching Datong. How could Zhu Qizhen, who had been in high spirits for more than 20 years, indulge the other party and immediately decided to go on the Northern Expedition himself? 】

[This idea was opposed by the ministers as soon as it was proposed. 】

[Taizong, Chengzu, and Xuanzong, these three imperial commanders went to war in person, because they had real abilities. Any one of them would be a famous general in history. But the ministers still have some idea of ​​what kind of person Zhu Qizhen is. 】

[However, with Wang Zhen's encouragement, Zhu Qizhen felt that he was invincible. How could I, the great Ming Dynasty, let this Mobei barbarian jump around in front of his eyes? 】

[Zhu Qizhen went to the north with an army of 500,000. 】

[You heard the news, but your heart did not waver. You did not think that the young emperor would suffer in Mobei. 】

[You must know that this army of 500,000 is not the "so-called" 500,000, but a real 500,000 elite Ming army! The capital camp, which has been cultivated through hard work by the kings of three dynasties, is the foundation of the prosperous Ming Dynasty. How dare a few people like Wala Ye first compete with 500,000 elite Ming troops? 】

[Even if Zhu Qizhen sleeps in the old camp every day, these 500,000 elites can conquer Mobei! 】

[Sealing the wolf to live in Xu and drinking from the vast sea of ​​horses is already an easy task in front of today’s Ming Dynasty. 】

[However, you never expected that not long after, you would hear the news of Ming’s defeat. 】

[——The orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen and his 500,000 elite troops were wiped out. The emperor was captured. Empress Dowager Sun and a group of courtiers asked you to come out and take charge of the overall situation. 】

Zhu Yuanzhang: "?"

Man, can this win the battle?
  We can fetch a dog from the yard to serve as the coach, but we can't defeat the battle even with half a million elite troops!
  How the hell did you fight!
