Can you live forever

Chapter 18 The Three Teachings and Nine Streams, the Demonic Qi Comes from the West

The "prosperity" of Lion's Head Town has made Zhang Zhixiang see the heroism of Zheng He's fleet.

The more I know about the heroic ambition of chasing death and chasing the north and sweeping the world during the Hongwu and Yongle years, the more I know, the more I am not angry with the current corruption of Ming Dynasty.

Peek into one spot and see the whole leopard.

This Ming Dynasty up and down, all classes and strata, are playing their own game, and they are used to it.

Everyone is pulling their own interests and lying on the Ming Dynasty to suck blood, so who is the worst?Is it the emperor who lives in the deep palace and is easily soluble in water?
No, it's not.

It is the people of all the people in the world, the people at the bottom.

It’s okay if there is nothing wrong with the country, but once something happens, what can the household Taicang do with the little money?What should I do if the household department is not enough?What should the emperor do if he has no money?
Hey, Chongzhen knew this very well.

As for how difficult it is to make money from internal funds, Zhengde and the Eight Tigers can barely divide it into [-]-[-]. The current Emperor Jiajing has a psychological bottom line of [-]-[-]%, but when Yan Maoqing smoked, he still had to shout "" my money".

By the time of Wanli, the efficiency will be even lower.

Sending mine supervisors everywhere caused wailing, and in his whole life, he only made 4000 million taels of silver, but how much the eunuchs made, and how much the local officials cooperated with the eunuchs, I am afraid it will be more than a hundred times...

How miserable are these people's lives?

Such a man-made disaster, plus the natural disaster brought by the Little Ice River, if the Ming Dynasty survives, then it is unreasonable.

Heaven and man work together, and all transformations set the foundation.

Will it be Ming Guozuo who will die then?Shave hair and make clothes easy, burn books to fool the people, and in another 200 years, cede land and pay compensation, almost exterminating the family...

Thinking about everything that happened after the death of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Zhixiang let out a long sigh.

"Does Fourth Uncle think Daming will die?"

Zhang Yonghuan was stunned for a moment, wondering why Zhang Zhixiang thought of this, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Did my little uncle see the future of Ming's demise?"

"Um……"

"Who is the dead Ming?"

"Perhaps, Manqing."

"Man Qing?"

"That's right, Jianzhou Jurchen."

"..."

Zhang Yonghuan didn't believe it, and said: "This matter is absolutely impossible, my little master must have misread it."

Zhang Zhixiang smiled wryly: "Yes, it's absolutely impossible. No one believes that Jianzhou can destroy Daming." Did Daming die in Jianzhou?Of course not, how could such a powerful empire be attacked from the outside.

The people who perished the Ming Dynasty were the gentry of the Manchu Dynasty, and the various forces competing for interests in this lion head town.

The Assassin faction shocked Xiluozhou with terror and assassination, and was prominent for a while, but when the Mongolian army crushed them, they could only wait to be killed. The same is true on Poyang Lake. But when the Eight Banners of Jianzhou drove Guan Ning cavalry southward, they had no choice but to wait to be killed.

How can the private soldiers established by businessmen and gentry be compared with the frontier army?
This point will be most vividly displayed in Nanming.

Zhang Zhixiang's thoughts are a little wandering. Since he confessed that he was "born knowing", he prefers to compare and observe the experience of the two lives. This "God's perspective" allows him to see more things.

However, what Zhang Yonghuan is concerned about is not Jianzhou's demise of Daming.

He solemnly reminded: "Da Ming died in Jianzhou, it's best not to talk about this matter, and don't mention it after you go to Beijing to face the saint."

No one will believe this matter, and speaking out will only affect Zhang Zhixiang's reputation, and Chenghua Liting failed to destroy Jianzhou back then, and it is even more impossible now.

Although Jiajing won the ceremony.

But after all, he was ruled by a vassal king, leaving aside the legitimacy of the imperial power, he could not inherit the legacy of the "previous emperor", and he was a real "lonely man".

In the past few years, dealing with Yang Ting and Yidang has been exhausted. How much control can they have over the Nine Frontiers?

to be honest.

Jiajing does not have the ability to go to war now, and there is absolutely no possibility of going to war due to political considerations. Even if Zhang Zhixiang is sure of this prophecy, he cannot say it.

If he dares to say.

Then the "immortal" will immediately become a "demon", who is bewitching the public!

"I know."

Zhang Zhixiang is not stupid, he knows what to say and what not to say, but his mood is somewhat depressed, Zhang Yonghuan can understand, but this is how the world is...

"When will Daming die?" Zhang Yonghuan was still curious.

"17 years in Chongzhen, 118 years ago..."

"There is still a century of Guozuo?"

Zhang Yonghuan was a little surprised. In his opinion, with the current situation of Ming Dynasty, when the Great Cold came, the Ming Dynasty should perish.

It shouldn't last a hundred years anyway.

"Yes, there are still a hundred years..." Zhang Zhixiang also saw hope in a trance. Although the Ming Dynasty was already dying, this era is not bad.

Two and a half saints of Confucianism.

Mr. Wang Yangming is still alive, and Zhang Juzheng should have been born last year.

Daming, there is still hope.

"Fourth Uncle, I know what to do." Zhang Zhixiang was no longer pessimistic, he had already figured it out, what his brother said was right, the rise and fall of the world is not on his shoulders alone.

Without him, Zhang Zhixiang, there would be someone trying to turn the tide!
This is not the age of decadence and despair!

"Well, it's good if you can figure it out, let's go, let's go to the restaurant in front to have dinner." Zhang Yonghuan felt that the little uncle was not only refreshed, but also sublimated.

Zhang Zhixiang didn't realize that he had never recited the Golden Light Mantra, but his body was shining with a golden light that ordinary people couldn't see.

If the old heavenly master was here, he would stroke his beard and praise him.

Zhang Zhixiang didn't notice this, but because of his high spirits, he regained a bit of a child's liveliness, and when he walked, he felt his body was light and his steps were like the wind.

Entered the Laifu Inn.

I chose a place by the window and ordered the food. Because it was getting dark, the store also lit up the lights, which was very bright. Under the lights, there was music playing, and then an orchid appeared. The table danced straight away.

Those customers also shouted and whistled one after another, and some happily sprinkled silver and copper coins to the dancers.

The voice of Hunqiang is endless.

These people from the rivers and lakes who are licking blood seem to be wild and restless...

Zhang Zhixiang doesn't like this environment very much, it feels a bit like... a bar, he has never been to it in his previous life, but he has heard of it, so the feeling should be similar.

"Fourth Uncle, it's so noisy."

"Well, go back after dinner."

The Wang family has a courtyard in Shitou Town, and the wind and rain have already gone with the Wang family team to settle down first. Zhang Yonghuan took Zhang Zhixiang out for a stroll to see the world.

Zhang Yonghuan said he was waiting for dinner, but in fact the drunken man didn't mean to drink.

This place...has a demonic aura.

(PS: When Zeng Guofan said two and a half saints, he was flattering himself. Confucius and Wang Yangming were saints, and the remaining half, if you really want to talk about it, it can only be Zhang Juzheng. Zeng shaves his head a long way away.)
