Chapter 636 Friends' Wife Can't Be Bullied
Ganqing Palace.
Outside the window at night, the King of Zhennan silently looked at the good brothers inside...
His good brother looks miserable now.
As circulated from the outside world, His Majesty the Emperor fell into the water and had become swollen all over. He slapped in his sleep while lying on the hospital bed. Although he was actually only in his early twenties, he was like those dying old men, who were sinking towards the end of his life in the whale light.
This emperor is actually quite competent.
Whether in history or in this changed Ming Dynasty, he did a pretty good job. Although he was not a big shot, at least in a increasingly decayed situation, he could do his best to maintain the failure to collapse.
His seven years as emperor can be said to be very disasters. In addition to the collapse of the war situation outside the pass, Xu Hongru's rebellion and the She'an Rebellion in the southwest were not easy to deal with. His grandfather's three major battles were carried out one by one. Although almost all the head-to-end connections were connected, they all gave his grandfather a breath, but his three wars were carried out at the same time. His grandfather had at least a rich foundation that Zhang Juzheng had captured and Qi Jiguang reorganized the army, but he was defeated by his father in one month, and a group of defeated soldiers in Liaodong who were beaten into frightened birds.
But he was still able to support him when facing three battlefields at the same time.
He used thunder to deal with Xu Hongru, and then beat She Chongming back to his nest.
Even the situation of collapse outside the pass was still stable in the later period. It is hard to say what Yuandudu did that time. There were too many controversies about this issue, but Yuan Keli did stabilize the battle situation on the coast, Mao Wenlong's battlefield behind enemy lines was truly established, and Sun Chengzong could spend money, but he did stabilize the defense of the western Liaoning Corridor by spending money.
When Apocalypse died, the most difficult stage of the battle had actually been over.
Whether south or north.
There is only the end of the later period left in the south.
She Chongming and Anbangyan concealed the mountains and steep mountains, relying on the terrain to survive.
The complete collapse of the north was caused by his younger brother being fooled by Yuan Dudu, and finally letting Jiannu's troops arrive in the capital. Jiannu's entry into the pass caused serious damage to the north, and also captured a large number of slaves and plundered a large amount of gold and silver. From then on, someone could continue to buy supplies from Shanxi merchants even if they were farming...
Shanxi merchants are not philanthropists.
Jiannu had to use money to sell the country. What if he didn’t have money, but where did Jiannu’s money come from?
It's robbed within the pass!
As for Jiannu's successful entry into the pass and robbery, it is probably only said that it was his brother's strange operation.
At least during the Apocalypse, there was no such possibility for Jiannu. After all, the bribery of Mongolian tribes during the Apocalypse, especially Lin Danhan, was still there. Moreover, the Mongolian tribes in the Rehe Mountains were still receiving the rewards of Apocalypse. Although Lin Danhan's expansion during the Chongzhen period forced these tribes to start to invest in Jiannu, if they continued to wield silver here, then these people might prefer silver.
In fact, Ombu or Aomu, the leader of Dongtumot outside the Great Wall, did not surrender to Jiannu until the same month of the Jisi change.
He had been undecided before.
Lin Danhan occupied his nest and forced him to desperately betray him. He even proposed to make an alliance with the Ming Dynasty. However, Chongzhen stopped the market reward and he could not get the silver. He offered to pay 2,000 taels per month. Huang Taiji led the East Mongolian coalition troops who had just surrendered, and finally he chose to surrender. If Chongzhen could coax him before this, he might continue to hesitate. Their strength was indeed not enough to stop Jiannu, but Jiannu's actions were originally a military adventure. As long as the Mongolian cavalry took advantage of the terrain that had lived for generations and slightly attacked them under the temptation of the Ming Dynasty's silver, it would be completely different.
After all, Huang Taiji doesn’t even have logistics.
And in this changed Ming Dynasty, the war situation in Liaodong was finally completely resolved because of the bribery of Mongolian tribes...
It should be considered a bribe.
No matter what evil intentions Yang Xin had, at least from the moment, the Ming Dynasty had always bribed Mongolian tribes, granted them titles and salaries, built temples for them, and even allowed their children to enjoy wealth and honor in the mainland.
This is all about making money.
The key is that Apocalypse is willing to spend this money.
It was precisely because he was willing to spend money, from the beginning to the most critical moment of the war, people like Fried Flowers, Bu Shitu, and even Jin Taiji were always firmly on the side of the Ming army. They were not absent from any war, and even the attack on Hetuala was fed. They were cannon fodder for the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty bought them silver and grain to feed the tribe in this famine era. This was a very fair exchange. Aomu wanted two thousand taels a month to buy rice.
What he said was buying rice.
Including the Halashen tribes who had followed Man Gui to block Shuolei outside Dushikou, after being defeated by Lin Dankhan, the leader Bai Yan wanted to join Jiannu, but his younger brother refused, but Chongzhen finally stopped rewarding him. After all, the other Nuoyans could not hold on in the famine, and finally they joined Jiannu one after another. After that, Jiannu entered the pass and robbed, almost all of these people participated.
But if Apocalypse gives silver, they can buy food with silver, so they will listen to Apocalypse.
All of this finally made the prosperous era of Apocalypse, which not only won the final war, but also completely conquered the Mongolian tribes. Now the masters on the grassland are celebrating his kindness, but unfortunately he fell under the hands of the internal enemies.
The King of Zhennan couldn't help but sigh.
"Are you here to come and make a joke?"
He said in a faint voice behind him.
"Your Highness, aren't you still sleeping so late?"
Yang Xintou said without looking back.
"I'm almost a widow, so how can I sleep?"
Zhang Yan said.
"You are also the queen mother even if you are a widow. You should go to bed. There is no need to worry. Besides, His Majesty seems to be able to hold on. Most of the people who poisoned him these days have been caught by Xu Xianchun. Another one was just beaten to death by my uncle's order, and there was only one left hiding in the palace of Prince Xin."
Yang Xin said.
He had heard Zhang Yan's footsteps for a long time, but there was no need to hide. This woman was easy to deal with and needed her cooperation.
"Is he really poisoned?"
Zhang Yan stopped behind him and said.
"Feng Quan, Huo Weihua, Xue Zhen designed to first offer immortal medicine by Keshi, which made His Majesty addicted to sexual intercourse and ruined his body. He originally wanted to make him sick, but His Majesty fell into the water. Then Lu Xunchen changed the medicine from the Imperial Hospital in the palace, and then coaxed Wei Liangqing to buy the medicine they prepared. These days, His Majesty took very small amounts of poison, and finally accumulated it into chronic poisoning. My uncle and Sun Chengzong already knew about it, but they were not going to make it public and then give me an excuse to go to Beijing.
So I really want to ask now, does Your Highness want to save His Majesty, or does your son want to succeed to the throne quickly?"
Yang Xin turned around and said.
Her Highness under the moonlight became more and more beautiful, and now she is no longer the shriveled girl she used to be.
In fact, she is just one year younger than Apocalypse, and Apocalypse is only twenty-two years old this year, and she is twenty-one. It is accurate to be considered that she has not graduated from university. Although she is already a mother, she has only given birth to a prince in recent years. After so many years, her figure has completely recovered, and she is even more dazzling.
King Zhennan...
King Zhennan is a gentleman, and his friends and wives should not be deceived!
"Then I want to ask, is the king trying to deceive orphans and widows?"
Zhang Yan said Youyou.
"Your Highness is wronged. I'm very clear. I'm not interested in the throne or something. Even if I want to be an emperor, I don't have to be in the Ming Dynasty. There are places overseas. The Ming Dynasty has a population of more than 10 million, but in fact it should exceed 150 million. After the Jiangsu-Zhejiang population census alone, it has been almost 50 million. There are several lands overseas that can be called the paradise on earth. I moved 10 million people from the Ming Dynasty. It will take me 50 years to be another great country that is not inferior to the Ming Dynasty.
Then why do I have to steal His Majesty’s power?
I also said it very clearly that the Ming Dynasty is about to come soon, and everything I do now is to save more people.
But this natural disaster is too serious.
This is not something that can be solved by promoting sweet potatoes and using silver to provide relief.
Starting next year, it will become more and more serious in the next ten years. It can be solved in this way in one year, in two years, and in three years, but it can be solved in a way that can be solved in a way that can be solved in three years. However, for more than ten years, from south to north, almost all prefectures and counties will suffer disasters, and even one-third will have no grain harvest, and tens of millions of people have no food to eat. Such natural disasters can no longer be solved.
The only way is to re-equalize the land.
Let the limited grain output be as even as possible to avoid the fact that there is a wine pond and a meat forest on one side, but there is no need to eat grass roots and bark on the other side.
People who don’t even have to eat grassroots and tree bark will rebel, and the war they create will cause more land to be out of production, and the grain output that is not large will continue to decrease. Then more people will not even have to eat grassroots and tree bark, and then more people will rebel and make more land to be out of production, and eventually the entire Ming Dynasty will be completely decayed. Until almost half of the population died on this land, there are not only ordinary people, phoenixes, dragons and grandchildren, wealthy nobles, rich and poor people, landlords or tenants, all of them cannot escape this hell of blood.
The same goes for the emperor.
Even the Ming Dynasty was the same.
One day you will face the hungry people who have broken through the capital and take your son to the coal mountain to hang. There is a crooked tree there."
Yang Xin said.
He did go to inspect the crooked tree on the spot.
Zhang Yan stood there and looked at him quietly...
"You should save Master Long Live. I am a woman and I don't have the ability to care about anything else. I just want to stop being a widow."
She said.
"Then you have to listen to me."
Yang Xin said very directly.
"I am the only one who is the name of you!"
