Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed

Chapter 357 Zhu Yuanzhang directly confused Qian Qianyi, Ma Shiying, and Ruan Dacheng

Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, Qian Qianyi and others came to greet the emperor with great excitement.

Regardless of whether they like it or not, everyone is very active in this matter.

Emperor Nanxing is a very important matter.

Significant and far-reaching.

And these people, since they are all here in the capital, naturally have certain advantages.

If we can do a good job in welcoming the emperor this time.

Then it is very possible that you can turn over!
Both Ma Shiying and Qian Qianyi felt that their chance to make a leap had arrived!
Although the capital here is also the country of the Ming Dynasty, after all, they have been here for the longest time.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has suffered such great turmoil, people like them must get the attention of the emperor.

The emperor cannot live without them!

And while they were thinking this, Emperor Chongzhen, whom they had in mind, was speechless and didn't know what to say.

He was completely confused by his own son, Zhu Cixiang, and his ancestor Taizu.

He really didn't expect that this kid Ci Xing would actually say such words at this time!

Does he want to kill everyone here in Nanjing City again?
How come this kid Ci Xing has become so easy to kill now?

In addition to fighting, no other king's methods are used?
Just follow Grandpa Taizu and learn how to kill?

This is not good!

Chongzhen couldn't help but start to worry about his son.

I am worried that my son is learning incorrectly.

"Grandpa Taizu, this...isn't this a little bad?

The situation now is not the same as it was in Peiping.

Now that we have arrived in Liudu, we need a stable rear area.

If we continue to do this, I'm afraid... I'm afraid many people will be disrespectful to us.

Things will get messy.

And there are Tatars and bandits in the north, and there are many influential people here in the south of the Yangtze River. If because of this, they don’t give us their attention, that would be a little bad..."

After thinking for a moment, Chongzhen mustered up the courage to look at Zhu Yuanzhang and express his views on these matters.

After hearing Chongzhen's words, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Sure enough, a country is easy to change, but a person’s nature is hard to change!
I originally thought that I had experienced the killings in Beiping City and the many things that had been done.

There will be a lot of changes in Chongzhen.

Now it seems that after breaking away from the specific conditions at that time, Chongzhen did not change much.

At this time, I am still so hesitant, mother-in-law and mother-in-law.

With the Ming Dynasty in his hands, how can he feel at ease?

Fortunately, the child Cixing is here.

Cixing is a child with strong plasticity. He seems to have learned a lot now, at least better than Chongzhen.

It seems that in the future, it will still be necessary for Chongzhen to abdicate and allow Cixi to become emperor in advance.

Now let's put Chongzhen's name on it and let him bear it in front.

Give Ci Xing some room to grow...

Zhu Yuanzhang thought this, looked at Chongzhen and said: "Youjian, you think too much.

What is needed at this time is a sharp knife to cut through the mess.

Put power in our hands as quickly as possible.

Bring all places under our rule.

Don't let the court get too involved, so that you can do things next.

If not, even if the imperial court comes to Liudu in the future, it will still be difficult to move forward.

All kinds of fights will bring down the court and plunge it into chaos.

Just fighting in a nest can completely wipe out the imperial court's limited power.

Not to mention resisting the Tatars in the future, or even fighting north to regain the country.

It’s nothing more than a fool’s dream!
By this time, Jiangnan, and even the entire Ming Dynasty, had long been riddled with ills.

At this time, if we don’t show great courage to scrape the bones and cure the poison, break the mountains and rivers, and reshape the world, it will be impossible for our Ming Dynasty to rise again in the future!

It is impossible to rise from the ashes! ! "

As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he told some of the things he heard from Han Cheng about Nanming.

After hearing about the national crisis, Ma Shiying hijacked the imperial court, monopolized power, and ruled out all kinds of misdeeds by dissidents.

And the subsequent battle between Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, and the Donglin Party members.

In the end, Zuo Liangyu went down the river in the name of Qingjun, aiming directly at the capital.

As for the imperial court, in order to resist Zuo Liangyu, they mobilized soldiers and horses from the four towns in Jiangbei...

This battle completely wiped out the defenses deployed by the imperial court.

As a result, Nan Ming, who was still somewhat capable of fighting, completely lost his last capital.

So much so that the Tatars took the opportunity to go south and easily occupied a large area of ​​Ming Dynasty territory...

Chongzhen, who wanted to hear these things, was stunned.

Then he became angry about it.

"The treacherous ministers are harming the country! The treacherous ministers are harming the country! Sure enough! Most of the civil and military officials in our Ming dynasty are such ministers who will subjugate the country!!"

Chongzhen said with a trembling voice.

He really didn't expect that according to the original history, after he hanged himself from a tree with a crooked neck, what happened to Nanming would be so infuriating!

What do these people think?

We've reached that point, and there's still a dispute?

Want to separate one to the death?
Are you even ignoring the enemy to the north?

Isn't this creating opportunities for the Tatars in the north in vain?

As for the Crown Prince Zhu Cixiang, he was also in a bad mood at this time.

His gaze became more determined.

At this time, he became more and more convinced that the methods he told Grandfather Taizu were particularly good.

These people in the south should also be killed and cleaned up!
Unless these insects are dealt with, it will be difficult for Ming Dynasty to regain its new power in the future!
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Chongzhen said here, most of the ministers were ministers of subjugation, he couldn't help but want to speak against him.

Teach this descendant who is always shirking responsibility a lesson.

Apart from anything else, if Chongzhen could send Zhu Cixi out earlier, the situation in Nanming might be very different.

There will be less disputes.

But when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them again.

Because he felt that it was meaningless to say more at this time.

Chongzhen's character has been completely developed.

It is extremely difficult to change.

Instead of wasting words at this time, it is better to think more about how to open up the situation and quickly accumulate strength.

It’s time to recast the Ming Dynasty!
“Grandfather Taizu, these people really deserve to be killed!

It's really too much!

It's just... if we do this, will it really not cause chaos?

If there is really a mess, what should I do? "

After being angry, Chongzhen returned to real issues.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he glanced at him and said slowly: "It's okay if there is chaos.

If there's chaos, let's just calm it down!

It is not these people who govern the world. Our Ming Dynasty lacks everything except talents!

How many talents are there among the people?

It’s not just these people who live in temples who are able to govern the country!
The nobles have many dry bones, but the people have great power.

You have to remember this! "

The nobles are many withered bones, but the people have great power? !

Hearing this, Chongzhen, as the emperor, trembled slightly and his eyes widened.

What he heard from Taizu Emperor Gao's words was earth-shattering!

After being surprised, endless confusion also arose - by the way, is it really appropriate to say such words from the mouth of Emperor Taizu Gao?

It seems...it seems that if we really talk about it, their family is the largest noble clan...

At this moment, Zhu Cixi's eyes lit up!

The soul was shaken!

For him, this sentence seemed to clear away a lot of fog.

Let him see a corner of a road that he had never thought about or seen before!
Although he only saw a corner of it, it already made his whole body tremble and he had goosebumps all over his body!

"Grandfather Taizu..."

He looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang and wanted to say something, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

A heart full of emotions and a belly full of words are all piled up here.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded to him and said: "Cixun, you have to remember that as emperors, those who really stand with us are not the high-ranking officials in the court or the noble families.

But the many people below!
It is true that the royal family is the largest landowner and the largest noble family.

But there is one thing that is fundamentally different from those high-ranking officials and those nobles.

Because the whole world belongs to our family, we will work hard to make the world stable and peaceful.

In order to do this, you can often cut flesh from yourself.

However, this is not the case for the following officials, as well as many gentry and other people who obtain benefits.

Many of them are doing harm to the public and private interests, and are trying their best to poach the corners of our family.

There has always been a change of dynasties, and the defeated royal family has never had a good ending.

But those high-ranking families, those who were crazy before, and took advantage of our Ming Dynasty, are different.

Daming was really defeated by them, and many of them could still change their families and join the new master.

For the officials below, you have to use them, but you also have to be on guard.

Another point is that as long as you can keep the many people below from chaos, you can make them have food to eat and survive.

Don't let the people follow in the rebellion.

Then you can attack the officials above at will!

Wanton killing!
Whoever commits a crime is fine, even if he has his house ransacked and his family wiped out!
Maybe when doing these things, you will also have troubles of this kind.

But overall, the world cannot be in chaos!
Without the vast number of common people following them to cause chaos, it’s not that the Great Patriarch looked down on them. Just relying on these aristocratic families and these gentry and officials, they couldn’t afford to cause too much trouble!
Even if some people want to cause trouble, that's okay. It's just a scabies disease that can be broken with a snap of the fingers!
Look at the Hongwu Dynasty, how many corrupt officials and lawbreakers have we beheaded?
We keep changing the people in the court, but have we ever caused any big trouble?
Don't be afraid that there will be no officials to serve the court.

The world is so big, I don’t know how many people want to climb up there.

Killing a group of people at this time can just make room for them and give opportunities to those below.

If you are disobedient and dare to commit crimes, you will be cut off!
Under the great waves, some officials who can be used can always be screened out! "

What Zhu Yuanzhang said had a new impact on Zhu Cihong.

At this moment, the shock in his heart could not be expressed in words!

It’s really shocking!
All along, he felt that the emperor and the officials were one.

At least in many ways.

But now, after hearing these words from Emperor Taizu Gao, he suddenly realized.

I realized a huge mistake in my own understanding.

It turns out that there is such a big difference between the emperor and the officials!

The emperor should stand with the people.

Only when the people are safe can the emperor's throne be stable.

It turns out that the real people refer to all living beings in the world, the common people!
Not those officials, businessmen and gentry!

It turns out that the most fundamental reason why Emperor Taizu Gao could manipulate his courtiers and officials so well without causing trouble during the Hongwu Dynasty was because of this!
At this moment, Zhu Cihong felt like thunder rolling back and forth in his heart.

His whole body was shocked and he didn't know what to say.

be surprised!

It’s really too surprising!
At this moment, he felt that a new door had opened to him!
Let him see more and further!
I can see that path more clearly...

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite satisfied when he saw Zhu Cixiang's reaction.

I think Zhu Cixiang is better than his father Chongzhen.

Take him with you, teach him carefully, and use more methods to pave the way for him.

From now on, it should be quite good to hand over the country that has been conquered again to Zhu Cihong's hands.

Not to mention future development, as a conservative person, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

As for Chongzhen, at this time he was also completely surprised by what Emperor Taizu Gao said.

But while I was surprised, some different feelings also arose in my heart.

This...how does it seem that Emperor Taizu Gao treated Zhu Cixiang better than he treated himself?
Now, when teaching some things, he no longer mentions his own name, only Cixi.

This... what does Emperor Taizu Gao mean? !

Chongzhen felt a little hairy and heavy in his heart.

But he couldn't say these things, and he didn't dare to ask.

At the same time, I also made up my mind to learn from Taizu Emperor Gao better in the future.

Let’s see if we can learn more skills from Emperor Taizu Gao.

It also allowed Emperor Taizu Gao to see his own excellence...

Han Cheng followed the army and calculated the itinerary. He was almost reaching Nanjing City.

If you want to go to Nanjing City, the officials who come to greet you are not far from here. Next, he wanted to see what Qian Qianyi looked like.

He is very curious about this famous Donglin gentleman.
At the same time, I am also curious about his fate.

I don't know what method my father-in-law will use to deal with him next.

I'm afraid that according to his father-in-law's temper, Qian Qianyi's end should be neither too good nor too good.

He wants to have as much power as he did in the small court of Nanming, and he is like a fish in water, but there is absolutely no hope.

Also, what does such a legendary woman like Liu Rushi look like?
Compared with Liu Rushi, Qian Qianyi, the so-called Donglin gentleman, is simply a joke.

……

In Wuchang City, as King Yan Zhu Di suddenly took action, the scene became bloody and scary.

The terrifying aura made all the generals under Zuo Liangyu tremble.

No one thought that things would change so suddenly!

Zuo Liangyu, that is their commander-in-chief, and he has been standing for many years!
Now you are killed when you say kill, it’s really scary!

Many people are afraid, not knowing what fate awaits them next.

Will His Royal Highness the King of Yan, who is said to have appeared, and will be the Emperor Yongle later, as he said, keep his promise and give him what he said...

Zhu Di looked at everyone and swept across them with majesty.

Then someone got the box, opened it, and put it on the ground.

What is inside is silver.

"I keep my word, and you are all loyal people of my Ming Dynasty!
Come and get money! Give one or two to each person first!
The remaining one or two taels of salary for this month will be paid at the beginning of next month! "

With that said, he personally handed out money to the three hundred axemen arranged by Zuo Liangyu.

He was familiar with this matter in Beiping City.

And these three hundred swordsmen and axemen were frightened because of various things.

At this time, meeting Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the legendary figure really kept his word.

The promise was fulfilled immediately, and everyone's hearts suddenly became agitated.

Although their leader is Zuo Liangyu, Zuo Liangyu has now become a traitor.

If you follow him, where can you get the glory of following someone like Emperor Yongle?

What's more, they followed Zuo Liangyu and couldn't get a tael of silver for two months.

Now follow Emperor Yongle and give one or two directly to each of you!
The gap here is really too big.

After Zhu Di spread this wave of money, he had gained the loyal support of these people in almost a short period of time.

Regarding the generals, Zhu Di helped them up one by one and spoke to comfort them.

However, they did not let these people leave immediately.

They all stayed in Zuo Liangyu's mansion.

After he initially stabilized the situation, he used Zuo Liangyu's order to have people open the city gate.

Welcome Tie Xuan and other 1,900 soldiers and horses outside the city into the city.

Tie Xuan, who was waiting nervously outside the city, felt relieved after seeing the Wuchang city gate slowly opening.

My heart is filled with shock and admiration!

His Highness King Yan is truly brave!

Under such circumstances, Zuo Liangyu was actually able to be captured in such a short period of time!
We can also keep Wuchang City from chaos!
This ability and courage are truly extraordinary!

No wonder His Majesty asked His Highness King Yan to come and do such a thing!
Tie Xuan and Yan Wang Zhu Di during the Hongwu period would naturally not be able to compete with each other.

The two men really faced off and became mortal enemies when they attacked Jinan after Zhu Di's battle of Jingnan.

At that time, I really used all kinds of moves.

Tie Xuan was fighting Zhu Di...

This time Zhu Yuanzhang specially sent Tie Xuan to help Zhu Di. I wonder if there is some evil intention in it...

However, after this experience, Tie Xuan became extremely respectful to King Zhu Di of Yan.

After Tie Xuan led these 1,900 soldiers into Wuchang City.

Many things have been settled.

Next, Zhu Di first ransacked Zuo Liangyu's mansion.

A large number of gold, silver, jewelry and other things were produced.

It’s really a lot, nearly a million taels! !
I don't know if he got these by burning, killing, looting, or by deducting military pay.

With so much money, Zhu Di is even more confident to work in Wuchang City.

He asked people to summon many officials and generals from Wuchang City.

The imperial edict of the imperial court was read out.

He talked about Zuo Liangyu's rebellion and other things, and comforted the people below.

Later, many troops under Zuo Liangyu were summoned and the imperial edict was read out in public.

And made various arrangements.

He emphasized the treatment of these people and made a lot of money to support the army...

And took the opportunity to replace the people in key positions with his own people...

After all the work was done, the troops under Zuo Liangyu's command had successfully adopted the surname Zhu and no longer had the surname Zuo.

Of course, it is impossible for so many people to have smooth sailing and no trouble all the time.

When Zhu Di was doing these things, there were also some daring people who did some unwise things.

Want to target Zhu Di.

But they were all easily crushed by Zhu Di...

After accepting Zuo Liangyu's troops, Zhu Di conducted a careful screening.

I found that Zuo Liangyu's troops were mixed, both good and bad.

There are only about ten thousand people who can really fight.

With just over 10,000 people, it doesn’t mean that all of them are particularly good at fighting.

It can only be used reluctantly.

As for the rest, the so-called hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are actually mostly refugees and rogue bandits with little fighting ability...

Of course, these people cannot all be dismissed.

After Zhu Di made a brief selection, he decided to implement farming near Wuchang.

Let these soldiers cultivate fields and grow food here.

And made a series of detailed arrangements, involving distribution and other aspects...

After his series of losses and losses, Zuo Liangyu's troops no longer posed a threat to the imperial court.

Instead, it became a help to the imperial court...

……

"I have met Your Majesty."

A hundred miles outside Nanjing, Qian Qianyi, Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng and others greeted Zhu Yuanzhang and his party.

While paying homage to Chongzhen, he said some special words.

Each and every one of them showed their unswerving loyalty.

After receiving their courtesy, Chongzhen quickly introduced Zhu Yuanzhang and others to them.

There is no doubt that this sudden scene suddenly made Qian Qianyi, Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng and others extremely confused.

It’s not that their ability to accept is bad, it’s just that this is a bit ridiculous!
Why...it's just Taizu Emperor Gao who appears?

That's a person who has been dead for more than two hundred years!
When many of them came, they passed by the Xiaoling Mausoleum, where Taizu Emperor Gao was still buried.

The imperial mausoleum of Emperor Taizu Gao is still in good condition.

How come... a living Taizu Emperor Gao appears again?
However, the shock is the shock, and the confusion is the confusion.

But Emperor Chongzhen said so, and naturally no one among them was stupid enough to question it at this time.

After Zhu Yuanzhang saw them, his eyes fell on Qian Qianyi and paused.

Looking at him, he said, "Are you Qian Qianyi?"

"Reporting to Taizu Emperor Gao, I am Qian Qianyi."

"Good good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang praised him when he heard this.

"If I am a loyal and loyal Ming Dynasty, I am worthy of being a gentleman of Donglin!

Daming needs people like you! "

Qian Qianyi was extremely happy after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

Very good! It's really great!

This time, I really came to the right place!

Sure enough, as he thought, Daming's situation had become a mess.

The emperor no longer dared to be picky.

Although I was from Donglin, I was deliberately suppressed by Chongzhen before, and was also bitten by the others.

But after all, it still has a lot of weight.

At this moment, the emperor certainly wouldn't dare to go too far.

I must reuse myself as a representative person in Donglin.

But before that, Lan Yu and others knew what Qian Qianyi would do in the future.

There are also those who, although they don’t know what Qian Qianyi will do in the future, but have seen how Zhu Yuanzhang dealt with the people in the four towns in Jiangbei, they are heartbroken.

The look in Qian Qianyi's eyes changed somewhat.

After all, Emperor Taizu Gao also spoke to Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie and others in the same way before.

He also praised them and said that they were loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

But then they start killing each other, which is called quick...

Next, Zhu Yuanzhang met Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng and others.

They all praised them a lot.

This made them all feel beautiful in their hearts.

I feel that the good days for me and others are coming soon.

They are officials here in the capital, and they say they are high officials in the imperial court, but it is just a false name.

Doesn't hold much real power at all.

But now, with the arrival of the emperor, these people who were originally unpopular and neglected have instantly become popular.

All the fictitious positions in the capital will become real positions.

This meeting was truly a joy for the host and the guest.

Next, Zhu Yuanzhang asked people to set off with troops and horses.

Taking Chongzhen and the courtiers who followed the imperial court, they headed towards Nanjing City...

……

After a walk, we came to Nanjing City.

There were quite a few formations here to welcome them, which was quite grand.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Chongzhen and others entered the city and went straight to the imperial city that had been idle for a long time.

After entering the imperial city and sitting on the long-idle dragon chair in Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang was filled with thoughts.

There is a sense of right and wrong...

……

After the emperor moved south, he held his first court meeting, which was truly grand.

Officials of all sizes from Nanjing City, as long as they were qualified, came.

Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, Qian Qianyi and others were extremely happy.

Just waiting for the emperor to reward them in front of all the civil and military officials.

Give them greater rights.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at them one by one, and then said:

"You are all loyal ministers and righteous men of our Ming Dynasty. I am really happy to see that after more than two hundred years in the Ming Dynasty, there are still so many loyal ministers and righteous men!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Qianyi immediately stepped forward and said:
"Reporting to Taizu Emperor Gao, the Ming Dynasty has been raising scholars for more than two hundred years. At such a critical moment of life and death, how can no one stand up?"

The words were very beautiful. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled when he heard the words: "Okay! Okay! Minister Qian is indeed a loyal man of the court!"

Qian Qianyi felt even better after being praised by Zhu Yuanzhang in public.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Since you are all loyal and good, let us speak directly if we have anything to say.

Now in the Ming Dynasty, there are beacon fires everywhere and thieves and bandits are surging.

Now is the time to employ people, and it is also the time to employ troops.

As the saying goes, before soldiers and horses move, food and grass go first.

Money and food are not enough if we just run out of money.

The imperial court itself could not collect taxes, and everything was tight before.

In the treasury, even mice would shed tears when they entered.

It's not okay if the court doesn't have money.

If you don't have money, you can't accomplish anything, and you can't command your troops and make them effective.

Therefore, all loyal people, please donate generously and prepare money to reward the army..."

After Zhu Yuanzhang said these words, Qian Qianyi, Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng and many others were stunned on the spot. They were all dumbfounded.

This... what is going on? ? ! (End of chapter)
