The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 2
"What year and month is it now?" Su Chengyu asked Chan Yi.

"Master Hui, it's July 28, the first year of Longwu."

"When was the Longwu Dynasty first established?"

"The first day of July."

"It's a good thing that Longwu just came to the throne not long ago." Su Chengyu nodded, there was still a year before the Longwu Dynasty fell, which is still some time.

He asked Chanyi to fetch his coat and put it on. Regardless of her dissuasion, he walked back and forth in the room. Fortunately, his body was still normal.

When he passed by the mirror in the room, he turned his head and saw in the mirror a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, with a medium build and handsome appearance, but he hadn't washed his hair or shaved for a few days, and he looked quite depressed. It was himself.

Let me go, it seems that I have really crossed over.He cursed at his traversing skills in his heart again—according to the history he remembered, at this moment, the north of the Yangtze River was basically occupied by the Manchus, and the surrender of the Ming army everywhere was common.The core of the army of the Longwu Dynasty was the tens of thousands of people under Zheng Zhilong, the pirate leader, plus the soldiers from the former Fujian Guards and temporarily recruited farmers.

However, such a little military power is still in the hands of Zheng Zhilong, and the emperor Zhu Yujian has no military power in his hands!In addition, Longwu said that he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but only Fujian and Jiangxi were the areas where the government orders were smooth, and Jiangxi was still a battlefield.

He Tengjiao, governor of Huguang, and Ding Kui Chuming, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, respected Zhu Yujian as orthodox on the surface, but in fact they were very selfish, and it was difficult for the imperial court to mobilize its troops.

Sichuan and the Southwest were the territory of the rebellious peasant army. They fought against the Qing army, but also against the Ming Dynasty.

Under the attack of Jin Shenghuan's department of the Qing army, Jiangxi was in frequent emergency situations and was precarious.

In Zhejiang in the north, King Zhu Yihai of Lu established himself as the supervisor of the country, and took over the battalions of Zhejiang and the main force of the original Nanjing under Fang Guoan's command. The combat power is not weak.If it weren't for the threat of being full of people, the call would have come within minutes.

The situation is so chaotic, what should we do?
A few days passed, and Su Chengyu gradually became familiar with the environment of the palace, and gradually accepted Zhu Linmi's new identity.

In order to keep the secret that he came from another world, he began to warn himself that he must devote himself wholeheartedly to the identity in front of him, otherwise it would be easy for people to find his flaws, and from now on he could only be Daming's Zhu Linming.

In the past few days, besides seeing the imperial physician and Concubine Chen, Zhu Linmi, who has been reborn again, has been facing Chanyi and other little maids all day long. She wants to understand the world she lives in but has no sources of information.

And this body's original memory is almost full of sage books. This prince used to love to stay at home and read books, and he was completely blind to Daming's environment and current events.

Since you can't get any useful information in the palace, let's go outside to have a look.

Even though Chanyi got the order from the princess to let the son rest in bed, she couldn't hold back Zhu Linmi's insistence on going out, so she had to tell the other maids and guards not to tell the princess.Since she has become Zhu Linming's personal servant girl, she is considered his servant according to the usual rules, so naturally she has to listen to him even more.

When Zhu Lin came out of the inner house, a young man in his 20s with a square face hurriedly greeted him, it was Qiao Qian, the young servant next to the original prince.

"Grandpa, are you feeling well?"

"Okay." Based on her original memory, Zhu Linmei knew that Qiao Qian usually waited on him when he went out, so she told him that she wanted to go for a walk.

After Zhu Linmi walked out of the gate of the palace, she saw a large grass hut on the street, hundreds of people in ragged clothes crowded in it, making a lot of noise, sometimes mixed with crying.

Seeing his puzzled expression, Qiao Qian came over to explain, "My lord, this is the charitable shed set up by the princess. Firstly, it can save some refugees who suffered from military disasters, and secondly, it also wants to accumulate some blessings for you. Good things come with good things." , you'll be fine."

Zhu Linmi looked at the refugees in the shelter, all of them looked miserable or numb. There were many disabled people who were just waiting to die.There are even people who sell their sons and daughters on the spot or sell themselves into slavery, just to live a few more days.From time to time, refugees died, and those with relatives could still hear a few cries, while those without relatives were carried outside the city and buried hastily.

Tianxing Mansion is the capital of the Longwu Dynasty, even here there are so many refugees, one can imagine the situation in other places.

Zhu Linmei asked Qiao Qian, "Why are there so many refugees?"

"My lord, I heard that most of Chizhou and Huizhou have been captured by Jianlu, and hundreds of thousands of refugees have poured into Fujian." Qiao Qian said, "The princess has set up a charity shed for a long time, and most of the refugees from Tianxing Mansion gather here."

Just as he was talking, he saw another group of refugees pouring in from a distance, and the situation was even more miserable than before.These people seemed to be very hungry, as soon as they saw the Shanpeng, they rushed up with red eyes, scrambling for the Shanpeng.

The guards of the palace on the side hurried forward to maintain order, while the guards following Zhu Linmi immediately blocked the prince in the middle and focused their attention on guard.

The charity shed was already overcrowded, and the new arrivals were desperately trying to squeeze in. The other refugees didn't want to come out, and the charity shed instantly became a mess.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Linmei hurriedly ordered Qiao Qian to distribute some money to the refugees so that they could buy food by themselves.

It wasn't until Qiao Qian gave out more than ten pennies that the order in the Shanpeng was restored.

When the newly arrived refugees ate something, some of them began to cry.

"Huizhou was besieged by the Qing soldiers into an isolated city, and the dead were countless!"

"I used to live outside the city of Huizhou, and the Qing soldiers kept firing guns every day. I'm afraid Huizhou won't last long."

"Except for Huizhou, there are Qing troops everywhere..."

When Zhu Linmi heard the news about Huizhou, her heart sank.

Huizhou is south of the Yangtze River and can be used as a bridgehead to attack Zhejiang and Jiangxi.If this place falls, the natural danger of the Yangtze River will be half crossed by the Qing soldiers. If he remembers correctly, Huizhou will fall soon in history.

Zhu Linmei suddenly thought of a question - now his body is surnamed Zhu, Aixinjue Luo would never let him go.If history develops according to history, the entire land of Huaxia will be returned to the Manchus in a short time. By that time, the world may no longer have a place for itself!
You must know that Emperor Yongli after Longwu even ran all the way to Burma, and was he caught and hacked in the end?

Judging from the current situation, if I want to survive, I am afraid that it will be as difficult as going to heaven!
Most of the refugees in the Shanpeng earlier were from Huizhou. When they heard the news, they immediately exploded.

"My father and brothers are all in Huizhou, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

"No wonder there is no news from my family. It turns out that Huizhou is a dead city!"

"My son..."

Almost instantly, the refugees were crying together.

The sadness caused many refugees from other places to cry too.

"My family of eight were all killed by the sword on the day Nanjing City was destroyed..."

"Jiannu killed dozens of my relatives!"

Even some of the stewards and guards of the palace looked gloomy, and some even wiped their tears secretly, obviously some relatives died in the war.

Zhu Linmi couldn't help but her heart trembled, remembering that someone had calculated that the population at the end of the Ming Dynasty exceeded 5000 million, and by the beginning of the Qing Dynasty there were only less than [-] million left!The entry of the Manchus brought a terrible disaster to China and Daming!

Ten Days in Yangzhou, Three Massacres in Jiading, Jiangyin, Guangzhou, Sichuan... Massacres spread across almost every city! In 20 years, more than 5000 million Han Chinese died tragically!Although many of them were done by traitors who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, none of this would have happened without the decisive factor of the Qing Dynasty entering the customs.
