Ming Dynasty entry: I am Chongzhen, the greatest emperor of all time!

Chapter 1: The drum beats fast

In the early morning of May 1644, 3.

The capital of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty! General Tang Tongguan has surrendered. The rebels have already... reached Changping!"

Wang Chengen's voice, wrapped in the sound of drums, burst into the hall.

At this time, Zhu Youjian was staring at the bronze mirror in a daze. The person in the mirror had a haggard face and a listless spirit. Under the patched red uniform, his ribs were clearly visible.

He traveled through time and became an emperor.

But...why is Chongzhen!
Or was it Chongzhen who went on a hunger strike for three days to raise funds and fainted from hunger, and was about to hang himself!

As a senior history enthusiast, he has conducted in-depth research on Emperor Chongzhen, who has the same name as himself.

He remembered the time when Chongzhen was hanged on Coal Hill particularly clearly.

March 19th of the lunar calendar in 1644.

And today is the early morning of March 16th.

In other words, there are only three days and nights left before the city is destroyed and everyone is dead!?

Zhu Youjian took a long time to finally accept this reality.

Even if it wasn't for the life of a tyrant emperor with three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines who reveled every night.

Even if it's just to keep myself alive.

He couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

He ignored Wang Chengen who was kneeling on the ground and trembling.

The remaining memories surged wildly in my mind, trying to find a way out.

Changping is only eighty miles away from the capital.

Hundreds of thousands of rebel troops were watching covetously.

At the marching speed of the rebel army, they will arrive by noon tomorrow at the latest.

On the other hand, he did this even at yesterday morning court.

The Prime Minister Wei Zaode was still vowing that "the heavenly troops would gather."

Zhang Jinyan of the Ministry of War reported that "there are 100,000 soldiers in the Beijing camp who are capable of fighting."

Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry still demanded one million taels of military pay.

In the secret compartment of the dragon desk in front of Zhu Youjian, the secret memorial from the Shuntian Prefecture Governor was stained with blood!
"The Beijing garrison actually has 5,700 soldiers, 80% of whom are old and weak, and they have less than 500 sets of armor."

That’s right, the Ming Dynasty’s capital camp, which had once led five expeditions to the northern desert and was famous for its martial arts, now had only more than 5,000 old and weak people left.

In addition, there were more than 2,000 defeated soldiers from the Yongwei Camp and a clean army composed of 1,000 eunuchs.

It is the last defense system of the capital of this great empire.

Ten thousand versus hundreds of thousands, the advantage... is not mine!

The court was filled with Donglin gentlemen who were not bound by the eunuch party and were extremely corrupt behind the emperor's back.

Even when the rebel army was at the doorstep, this bunch of old-timers were still criticizing each other, and no one asked about the city defense.

It’s like the rebel army couldn’t break into the capital.

The beginning of the game was not so devastating!

After a simple comparison of the enemy's and our strength.

Zhu Youjian immediately had a plan in mind.

Ah!
Gotta run!

As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!

He remembered that when the Ming Dynasty fell, there were still hundreds of thousands of Ming troops in the south, who protected the Southern Ming for another ten years.

Just thinking so.

A blue screen suddenly appeared in front of my eyes!
An electronic prompt tone also came from my ears.

【Ding! The entry system has been activated, please check it.】

Hearing this voice, Zhu Youjian was instantly shocked.

There's actually a cheat code! ?
But what is the entry system?
With excitement and curiosity, Zhu Youjian hurriedly urged in his heart, "System, please tell me what you are for."

[This system is an entry system. All organizations within the host's bound faction can view existing entries.]

[Every one million taels of silver can be redeemed for one upgrade or one elimination of negative attributes. (Note: Extracted attributes cannot be upgraded.)]

[Trigger specific conditions to obtain new entries]

[Every 100,000 taels can be redeemed for one chance to draw a new entry.]

[Entries are divided into five levels, from bottom to top: white, green, blue, purple, and red.]

[After the draw is successful, a unit with the same level of attributes will be randomly awarded. The rewarded unit cannot upgrade the attributes.]

[In addition, each red positive entry you have increases the chance of extracting a red entry by 2%]

[Currently bound faction: Ming Dynasty]

[This faction has activated the entry]:
*Sunset (Red): Organizational efficiency -90%.

*Natural Disaster (Purple): Disaster trigger rate +300%
*Purple: Corruption rate +85%, Execution efficiency -80%. *Military Disorganization (Purple): Military personnel -80%, weapons -80%, combat effectiveness reduced by 98%.

* War Smoke Everywhere (Purple): Civilian stability -80%, probability of uprising +75%.

Number of entries extracted: 1
Number of entry upgrades: 0
(Note: The current bound identity is the emperor, and the public support rate is 34%. If the support rate drops below 10% or the emperor identity is lost, the system will unbind.)
After listening to the introduction, Zhu Youjian took a deep breath, his eyes filled with excitement.

Although I don't know how the effect of the entry will be.

But at least it’s a golden finger!
He swept his eyes over the people in the hall and said in a trembling voice, "Everyone, please withdraw. Leave the king to accompany you and serve you."

The eunuchs who were serving quickly left the hall, leaving only the trembling Wang Chengen still kneeling on the ground.

As soon as the palace door closed, he immediately called up the system interface.

Find the military page that matters to your life.

As soon as he opened it, the densely packed negative entries made him breathless.

【Beijing camp】

*Vacancy (Purple): The actual number of troops is only 5% of the establishment
* Habitual Deduction (Blue): Military salary payment rate is less than 40%.
*Old, weak, sick and disabled (blue): The proportion of young and strong people of working age is less than 20%.
Zhu Youjian knew that the army of the late Ming Dynasty was rotten to the core, but he never imagined it would be so rotten.

The actual number of troops is only 5% of the establishment!?

It turns out that what the Minister of War Zhang Jinyan said about the 100,000 capable fighters in the Beijing garrison was not a lie!
If the Beijing Army is in this situation, what about the most famous Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty?
Zhu Youjian opened the Jinyiwei page with a hint of anticipation.

【Jinyiwei】

*Noble Slaves (Purple): 80% of the personnel are private servants of the powerful.

*Corrupt (Blue): 0.5 taels of silver lost for every tael of silver handled

* Abuse of power (blue): -70% fairness in law enforcement
Zhu Youjian:......

He shouldn't have any expectations!
With such an army, how could Chongzhen not be hanged on a crooked tree!
Not to mention that it is not fully staffed, even if it is fully staffed, with so many negative buffs, it is impossible for it to be a match for the old camp of the Chuang Army.

As someone who had conducted in-depth research on the history of the late Ming Dynasty, he was very clear about the combat effectiveness of the main force of the rebel army.

The troops in the city can no longer be relied upon.

I just hope the system can bring me surprises.

Otherwise, he could only consider moving south.

Look at the drawing opportunity given by the system.

Zhu Youjian clicked the "Extract" button tremblingly.

The screen disappeared, replaced by a giant disc.

Five colors from white to red are distributed on the disc.

White accounts for the largest proportion, nearly 6%, while red only accounts for a few points.

The turntable starts to spin without any operation.

When the rotation speed slowed down, Zhu Youjian didn't dare to breathe.

Until the pointer stopped, the turntable emitted a dazzling purple!

[Ding! Draw the purple entry "Legacy of the Qi Family Army": You can designate a 1,000-man unit to gain Qi Jiguang's military training techniques, increasing their organization by 200% and their combat effectiveness by 300%.]

[Successfully extracted a purple entry, reward: Ming Sanqianying Qianhu Suo x1, (Note: Armor rate 100%, both men and horses are armored)]

[The reward has been distributed outside the Meridian Gate. Please check it carefully.]

"Damn..." Zhu Youjian almost exclaimed.

I actually got a purple entry in the free lottery, and the key is that it also came with a 3,000-camp Qianhu Division!

The Sanqianying was the cavalry unit among the three major camps of the Ming Dynasty.

A thousand households has one thousand people.

Apart from anything else, the 100% armor rate alone, with both men and horses wearing armor, shows that this unit's combat effectiveness cannot be weak.

This is the standard equipment for heavy cavalry!

I didn’t expect that the chance to draw given by the system would actually give me a gold card!
The extraction fee is only 100,000 taels of silver.

If I were to be beaten dozens of times, would I still need to be afraid of Li Zicheng?

"Wang Banban." Zhu Youjian suppressed his excitement and shouted to Wang Chengen who was kneeling below.

The latter was startled and responded quickly.

"The slave is here!"

"How much silver is left in the national treasury and my private treasury?"

"Your Majesty... I just checked yesterday. The combined national treasury and the internal transport treasury... only have 70,000 taels of silver left..."

When Zhu Youjian heard the words "seventy thousand taels", he was a little stunned.

Only then did he remember that one of the main reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty was lack of money.

However, the fact that the imperial court has no money does not mean that the Ming Dynasty has no money.

Zhu Youjian remembered clearly that in his previous life, after Li Zicheng broke into the city, he extorted more than 70 million taels of silver from the soldiers!

Enough for him to draw entries seven hundred times!
Seven hundred thousand households and seven hundred thousand troops!
The more Zhu Youjian thought about it, the more he couldn't contain himself.

Damn it, confiscate the house! We must confiscate the house!
The emperor can't live a good life, so don't even think about living a good life!
