Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 26 Little Ice River

"Reincarnation?"

The old Zhu couple and the prince Zhu Biao were immediately stunned.

After all, Zhu Biao was younger, and he hadn't yet reached the stage where he couldn't express his emotions and anger. He even turned pale when he heard such four words with Boyig.

"The way of heaven?"

"Fifth brother, didn't you say that there is nothing that goes to heaven?"

The word "Tian Dao" sounds irreversible!

"Well, to a certain extent, it is like this." Seeing that everyone was shocked by his words, Zhu Su thought to himself that he was really happy.No wonder those lobbyists in ancient times often laughed three times when they opened their mouths, and then said, "The general is not aware of his imminent death."

Sure enough, there will be pleasure in scaring people.

But dry goods still have to be given.Zhu Laowu took tea to moisten his throat, and then said leisurely: "Brother, you have studied history with Mr. Li, have you ever noticed how the climate has been in this world since there are historical records for thousands of years?"

"Climate?" Zhu Biao was taken aback.Then his brows were slightly frowned: "Could it be that the fifth brother wants to bring out the theory of Han Confucianism's induction between heaven and man?"

"In my opinion, natural disasters are actually the number of days, and what's the problem with the change of dynasties? Tang Taizong is such a hero, there were also locust plagues in the world during the Zhenguan period. The father's achievements are unprecedented, but there are also hailstorms in Zhongdu."

"If the country is strong and prosperous, even if the country has a catastrophe, it can be managed properly and survived safely!"

After hearing what the eldest son said, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded silently.I said in my heart that Biao'er still knew the seriousness, so he didn't get limped by those gentlemen.

What kind of induction between heaven and man can the courtiers believe in.But the emperor must never believe this!

"Brother's words are very true." Zhu Su also nodded, and then put down the teacup in his hand.

"However, what if there are ten years of catastrophe, 20 years of catastrophe, or even hundreds of years of catastrophe?"

"Hundreds of years?" Zhu Biao was stunned and didn't believe it: "How is it possible?"

"Fifth, you mean..." Lao Zhu frowned.He thought of what Zhu Su said before, all kinds of natural disasters before Chongzhen...

"In the future of our Ming Dynasty, there will be a catastrophe that lasts for hundreds of years?"

"Yes." Zhu Su nodded to Lao Zhu.Then he said to himself: "The end of the Ming Dynasty coincided with the famous 'Little Ice Age' in later generations, and the temperature continued to drop for hundreds of years."

"The drop in temperature is considered a catastrophe? Can it be called heaven?" Old Zhu looked disbelieving.He thought just now that it was a major disaster such as drought and flood for hundreds of years.

But just to cool down, what's the big deal?
"The drop in temperature is just one of the features that is easy to find." Zhu Su couldn't explain to the ancients what is plate movement, what is climate change, and what is the rise and fall of feudal dynasties.

Of course, mainly laziness.

Therefore, he chose the most easy-to-understand way and said to Lao Zhu: "Don't underestimate the temperature. Let me ask you, if the weather in the north of my Ming Dynasty is getting colder and colder every year, it is getting colder every year. For me What will happen to the tens of thousands of farmers in the north of Ming Dynasty?"

"Farmer?" Lao Zhu was taken aback for a moment, and then he reacted immediately. "You mean, grain production will decrease?"

"It's not a reduction in production, it's a complete harvest!" Zhu Su shook his head.

"So serious?" Zhu Biao asked in shock.

"I'm afraid, it's more serious than what you think, brother." Zhu Su said. "In the fifth year of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty, there was snow in Yangzhou in May, and countless trees and flowers froze to death. In July of that year, there was another heavy snowfall. The snow on the ground was as thick as three feet."

"It's the same in Yangzhou, let alone the north. Tell me, in this weather, the grain fields can't stop harvesting."

"..." Zhu Biao was speechless.Lao Zhu also looked at Queen Ma in shock.He didn't expect that the temperature would drop to this point.

Where is Yangzhou?It is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River that is like spring all the year round!

The snowfall is amazing enough.The snow is three feet thick, and countless trees and flowers are frozen to death?
He began to look serious, and no longer felt that the so-called "Little Ice Age" was just a trivial matter that could be solved by adding a piece of clothing.

"At the end of the Ming Dynasty, almost none of the good fields in the north survived. Most of the fields in the south were controlled by aristocratic families." Zhu Su continued.

"The people in the north have no food and clothing, so they have to become refugees. The people in the south have no land or property. In case of a military disaster, they can only be coerced."

"The imperial court was also dragged down by natural disasters and other factors, and its finances were in short supply."

"The upper echelons repeatedly made foolish tricks. During the reign of Chongzhen, it was because Chongzhen collected Liao's salary three times from the good people who had already been desperate, which completely ruined the last trace of the Ming Dynasty's national fortune."

"Li Zicheng took advantage of the situation and became the sharp knife that pierced Daming's heart!"

"What?" Old Zhu stood up. "Will the Liao pay be imposed on the people who have already suffered the disaster?"

"Have you been conscripted three times?"

He just felt his head buzzing.He himself was forced to rebel by Yuan Ting in this way, how could he not know what the result of doing so would be?

If you don't give the people a way, the people will fight the court desperately!

"That kid Chongzhen actually did such a thing?" Old Zhu's eyes widened.

"In the final analysis, it is because he ignored the climate change and caused the disaster." Zhu Su snorted. "Although he has the heart to revive the rivers and mountains, after all, he grew up in the deep palace and doesn't know the sufferings of the people."

"It's normal to have high eyes and low hands."

Old Zhu sat down dejectedly.He also didn't expect that the later Ming emperors would be so stupid.

He, the ancestor of the Zhu family, was killed like this and had nowhere to go!Unexpectedly, after more than two hundred years, Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants have become the most hated perpetrators of old Zhu!
And because of this, he lost his country!

"Let's continue talking about Little Binghe." Zhu Su changed the subject. "The drop in temperature is actually only the most prominent feature. For various reasons, the Little Ice Age was accompanied by various natural disasters."

"Floods, droughts, and locust plagues will occur frequently during the Little Ice Age. Moreover, during this period, an extremely important military disaster will occur!"

"You mean." Old Zhu's eyes flickered. "north!"

"Yes!" Zhu Su couldn't help giving Lao Zhu a thumbs up in his heart.As expected of Emperor Hongwu, he only said the first day of the junior high school, and he already knew the fifteenth day!
"Military disaster?" Zhu Biao was a little puzzled.Turning around and asking Old Zhu, "Father, why?"

"Idiot." Old Zhu looked serious. "You said, our Daming has become so cold. Then those guys in the north, what will they become?"

"Ah!" Zhu Biao also understood.

It's snowing in the south of the Yangtze River, and the nomads in the north are probably even colder than ice holes!

In such a cold weather, not to mention their cattle and sheep pastures, even people, I am afraid that countless people will die of cold!
The north can no longer survive, what will the nomads do?
South invasion!South invasion!Only South Invasion!

I'm afraid that those nomads in the Little Ice Age are a thousand times, ten thousand times more terrifying than Meng Yuan, who now makes Daming an enemy!
Because, only by going south frantically, rushing into the Ming Dynasty, and robbing the land and land of the Ming Dynasty, can they survive!
"The north side is indeed our Ming's confidant's big trouble!" Old Zhu's eyes once again revealed a ferocious light like a fierce tiger.
