I, Jiajing, join the Ming Emperor chat group

Chapter 7 Zhu Yuanzhang: Most of the world is still under control. Is this called a corrupt situation?
"This one……"

Just as Zhu Youjian was about to explain to Zhu Di, he heard Zhu Houcong cough lightly from the side: "Ahem, this is a wonderful question that will be used later. Let's talk about it later. Let's discuss how to save the Chongzhen Dynasty first. There is not enough time for the meeting."

Although Zhu Houcong at this time is not the Zhu Houcong in history, unfortunately, Zhu Houcong, the traveler, also chose the path of history, engaged in a wave of "great ceremony", and successfully changed the temple name of Ming Taizong Zhu Di to Ming Chengzu... But there is a new difference. This time Zhu Houcong did not kick out Ming Renzong Hongxi Emperor Zhu Gaochi.

Although Zu Bizong is higher than Zong in terms of temple names, if Zhu Di were to choose, he would definitely choose Ming Taizong.

Because Emperor Taizong was the orthodox heir, Zhu Di also said: My throne was passed on to me by my father Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, and I was originally the heir to the throne.Zhu Yunwen?Just a usurper.

Zhu Di can be said to be an orthodox successor who shows himself everywhere.

And this Chengzu has completely labeled him as an unorthodox successor. No matter how he washes it, it will be difficult for him to get rid of the influence of the temple name 'Chengzu'.

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Zhu Houcong felt that it is not appropriate to say this now, and let's talk about it later when Zhu Di is in a good mood.

Hearing what Zhu Houcong said, Zhu Di felt that there was something strange about this matter, and he was extremely suspicious in his heart.

"Okay, fourth, why do you care so much? The current plan is to solve the troubles of the Chongzhen Dynasty and complete the group of tasks, otherwise the rewards we just talked about are all flowers in the mirror and moon in the water!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't pay much attention to these false names. Seeing Zhu Di's puzzled face, he immediately asked Zhu Di not to think too much, and concentrate on arranging the affairs of the Chongzhen Dynasty: "Let's gossip, Chongzhen boy, tell us first, how many troops you can control, how many cities are there, and how bad is the situation?"

Zhu Yuanzhang has already prepared for the worst, shuffling everything and planning to do it all over again.

It's just a bowl at the beginning, it's a big deal to do it again.

"Grandfather, I..."

As soon as Zhu Youjian said a word, Zhu Houcong coughed lightly from the side, and said, "Zhu Youjian, if you read the map silently in your heart, you will automatically show us your current territory."

Hearing Zhu Houcong's words, Zhu Youjian couldn't help being stunned, and then he had a thought, stretched out his hand as if to grab it in the void, and a vivid virtual map of Ming Dynasty appeared in front of the four of them.

In the 17th year of Chongzhen, the situation was very complicated.

Li Zicheng's Dashun army was like a sharp thorn, rushing straight into Beijing from the north of the Yellow River, while Liaodong had been completely lost to the Qing Dynasty, and could only rely on Shanhaiguan to resist hard.

The land of Sichuan and Shu is being conquered by Zhang Xianzhong, and the female general Qin Liangyu is fighting Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan and Shu.

While talking, Chongzhen talked about his personnel rationing:
"In Beijing, Li Guozhen, uncle of Xiangcheng, was the governor of the Beijing camp, and he ordered Liu Wenbing, Marquis of Xinle, and his son-in-law, Gong Yonggu, to convene the servant Qi Jiading. Huai'an, an important water transport town, was guarded by Zhu Guobi, Marquis of Funing, and Nanjing was guarded by Zhao Zhilong, uncle of Xincheng. The Nanjing Caojiang Navy, which was traditionally divided by civil and military admirals, was handed over to Liu Kongzhao, Chengyibo..."

"Uncle Xiangcheng, Marquis Xinle, Marquis Funing and Uncle Xincheng?"

Hearing these familiar names, Zhu Di was a little confused: "The descendants of Li Jun, Zhu Yong, Liu Bowen, and Zhao Yi?"

Zhu Diren is already stupid, how come after more than 200 years, the military generals of Ming Dynasty are still descendants of these people?

Among them, three were heroes of Jingnan, Zhu Yong and Li Jun joined forces with the King of Yan, and Zhao Yi was a surrender of Jianwen, who was bought by a thousand gold for horse bones.

And Liu Bowen is one of the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty.

Their ancestors have all made great contributions to Daming, but... honors belong to honors, and it is enough to eat, drink, have fun and enjoy the glory and wealth in ordinary times. Why do you let them be officials when there is a war?Didn't the Chongzhen Dynasty have new generals?

On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. He looked at Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian and asked in confusion, "Is this the predicament you are facing now?"

"Yes, great grandfather." Chongzhen nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.

He originally thought that the situation in the Chongzhen Dynasty had become so rotten that nothing could be done, that's why he issued such tasks to them, and the rewards were so generous that Zhu Yuanzhang had already achieved the idea of ​​starting from scratch.

But once the map comes out, just look at it...

Doesn't this mean that there are slaves in the north, and there are rebels in Sichuan, Shu and Qin?
Isn't it good for the rest of the place?
Jiang Nan is still in his hand!

That's it?
Among the emperors present, which emperor did not rebel under his command when he was in power?
You can't handle it right?
Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned dark.

"How is the strength of the soldiers from all over the place, can they be worthy of a battle?" Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and asked with his mouth open.

"The strength of the Manchu Qing is second to none. As for Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, each has veterans. The rest of the soldiers are young and strong among the rogues. It cannot be said that their combat effectiveness is not high, but it is not high." Zhu Houcong replied from the side.

Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised and said: "Since this is the case, why did our Ming Dynasty become so corrupt?"

"That's naturally because our Ming army is even worse."

Zhu Houcong sighed quietly, and then said: "Grandpa, your guard system is on the verge of collapse. The southern guards have not heard of military incidents for many years, so the entire guards are almost in decay, and the northern guards are also rapidly collapsing. A large number of military households fled, and the land was invaded by various kinds. The army has no rewards, and it fights with blood. Such an army will naturally be invincible by rogues and slaves."

"In addition, the civil servants of the Chongzhen Dynasty also had their own calculations, and state affairs became a means for the bureaucrats to obtain benefits."

Hearing what Zhu Houcong said, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned ashen.

"Taizu, Chengzu, Sejong, what should I do?" Zhu Youjian said sincerely.

Zhu Di gave a reasonable answer from the side: "Now you have only a few thousand troops, and it is only worth tens of thousands if you cooperate with the Xun Qijiading. How can you resist Li Zicheng's hundreds of thousands of troops? The current plan is to evacuate Beijing first, call Hebei, Shandong and Jiangnan.

Zhu Youjian was taken aback for a moment, and then asked inexplicably: "Grandfather Cheng, the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country! Although the unworthy descendants are incompetent, how can they abandon the city and flee?"

"I have already made arrangements. If a thief breaks the city, I will hang myself in the palace to thank the world! As for Daming, I will hand it over to Prince Cihong!"

"Confused!"

Zhu Di's face also darkened, and he continued: "Military and state affairs are all in the hands of the emperor. If you hang yourself, who will take charge of the overall situation? Prince, you are only [-] years old, how old can the prince be?! If the prince goes to the south, won't he still become a toy in the hands of those civil and military ministers?!"

"You, the emperor, are thinking of committing suicide before the situation is completely irreversible?"

Zhu Yuanzhang also agreed with Zhu Di's vision: "Move the capital to Yingtian, mobilize money and food from all over the world, mobilize horses and soldiers, and fight the thieves decisively!"

"Money?"

Zhu Youjian sighed, and complained to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di: "Grandfather Tai, Grandfather Cheng, and unworthy descendants also want to collect food and grass, but countless officials stop it, saying that natural disasters and man-made disasters are so many that the people have no food. If they insist on recruiting, they will only force the people in the south of the Yangtze River. Even the officials can only give a few hundred taels of silver to fund state affairs..."

Civil servants have their own careful thoughts, and the difficulty of making government orders really makes it difficult for Zhu Youjian to operate.

Hearing this sentence, Zhu Houcong sneered: "They don't have any money here, they are all the spokespersons of the landlord family in the court, and they are fooling you like a fool!"

Zhu Youjian was taken aback when he heard the words, and then asked sincerely:

"Why did Emperor Sejong say that?"
