The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 767 Trust in Chongzhen's Character
There is famine in the north, the value of food is equal to the value of life, and the value of silver has long been difficult to measure.

Huang Mingli asked his subordinates to spread the word in the prairie that the head of an adult man who was a slave can be exchanged for ten stones of rice.

What is the concept of ten stone rice?If you can get [-] or [-] shi if you switch to miscellaneous grains, a family of eight can eat for two years. If you are rewarded with great rewards, there must be brave men, and the enthusiasm of the Tartars to kill and build slaves will naturally increase.

With such an arrangement, even if Jiannu slipped through the net when Liaodong was pacified, it would definitely become the target of the Tartars. In the prairie that was attacked by groups, it was not easy for the remnants of Jiannu to find a foothold.

The "God of War" cavalry has been on the Mongolian prairie for eight or nine months, and there is no tribe that is not famous.
In the future, who would dare to take in Jiannu to make himself unhappy and give it to the "God of War" as an excuse to exterminate the clan?
Jianu was not the real father of the Tartars, and he was afraid of being beaten if he took refuge in them.What's more, a Tartar who has a milk is a mother can even betray his own father!
They didn't hesitate when they betrayed their suzerain country Daming, which was equivalent to selling their father.

Now that they sold their former masters to build slaves in exchange for food, cloth, tea bricks and other good things, the Tartars didn’t feel any guilt at all. On the contrary, they all took the initiative and actively.

In history, the reason why the Manchu Qing was able to develop was because the strategy of uniting Mongolia to jointly suppress the Han nationality was effective. Huang Sheng knew that the Mongols had a huge territory and a large population, so they could only take a group to fight a group to divide and disintegrate.

Trying to kill the Mongols in vain is a dream, and conquering them with kindness and power is the first choice. Take them to be slaves today, and take them to conquer the world tomorrow.

At the end of August in the 15th year of Chongzhen, the embassy of Queen Chu Er of the "Nanming" came to the capital of the Ming Dynasty. The Emperor Chongzhen had already learned that the Nanwang resolutely rejected the invitation of the civil and military forces and refused to honor the emperor's title, and still sent the mission to Daming with the etiquette of the vassal state. , I was extremely excited.

The emperor of Ming Dynasty felt that Beier had face, and ordered to receive the queen of "Nanming" with the full set of etiquette for receiving vassal kings. The two empresses of Daming knew Chu'er well, and this time they were authorized by the emperor to accompany them all the way.

Chongzhen was even more surprised when he learned that the son of the Southern King accompanied his mother to the capital. The magnanimity of the Southern King made him feel that he was trusted.

Huang Sheng was not worried that Chongzhen would detain his wife and son, because Huang Sheng knew very well that Chongzhen was a man, and the Ming emperor who resolutely chose to die for his country would not bother to do such a lowly thing.

If Chongzhen was very bad and vicious, he could completely abandon the capital, abandon the northern army and civilians and go south to Nanjing to temporarily settle down, but this spineless emperor used his own death to explain that Ming Dynasty is "the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country."

Perhaps Chongzhen is incapable, but it does not mean that he has no character. He is an upright emperor and worthy of respect.

Over two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the capital was besieged many times by the enemy, but the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty never compromised, never made an alliance with any enemy, never abandoned the city and fled, betrayed the national interests and signed unequal treaties with foreign countries at all.

The colonists of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were completely different. At the time of the "Geng Shen Kupppang", the British and French forces invaded Beijing. Chief Xianfeng fled from Yuanmingyuan to Rehe in a hurry under the name of "Mulan Qiuxi". He ordered Prince Gong Yixin to stay in Beijing to negotiate a peace agreement. Many unequal treaties that humiliate the country.

His little wife, Cixi, also had the same virtue. As soon as the Eight-Power Allied Forces fired, the old hag threw the concubine Zhen into the well and fled in panic with Chief Guangxu, leaving the city full of soldiers and civilians.

In the end, the shameless Manchu Qing government signed the "Xin Chou Treaty" to compensate the big powers with 5000 million taels of silver, which will be paid off in 39 years with an annual interest of 200%. The principal and interest total about [-] million taels of silver. Guaranteed by customary duties and salt duties.

The Manchus acted like this, and the colonists' faces were undoubtedly exposed. The Han people were slaves in their hearts, and sacrificing slaves to keep themselves safe was of course the first choice.

Emperor Zhu Ming is the emperor of the Han people. Chongzhen showed his final stubbornness with his own death when the country was in crisis. .

Chu'er received the highest courtesy in Daming, and she and Empress Daming lived on an equal footing. The Prince of Nan and the Prince and Prince of Ming also gave gifts to each other, and they often talked about scriptures together.

This diplomatic trip was very successful. The royal family of Ming Dynasty and the royal family of Nanming had a successful dialogue, which increased their understanding and relationship.

The Prince of Nanwang invited the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty and the princes to travel thousands of miles, trying to come to "New Hangzhou", the capital of the Nanming Dynasty, to see the landmark buildings, which are three bridges with a total length of seven miles.

Huang Hao told the brothers Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong that in theory, "Nanming" already had the technology to build the Yangtze River Bridge, and in the near future a majestic bridge across the Yangtze River could be built in Nanjing.

How could the Prince of Ming Dynasty and the prince know anything about bridge design? They were like birds in a cage. They had never seen the Yangtze River and the sea at all, and of course they didn't know whether bridges could be built on the Yangtze River.

Anyway, Zhu Cihong and his brothers found it fresh and interesting when they heard what Huang Hao said.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong was born in February of the second year of Chongzhen, and the son of the Southern Prince Huang Hao was born in the first month of the third year of Chongzhen. The two are similar in age and have very different knowledge.
Zhu Cihong actually accepted the teaching of the Four Books and Five Classics from the old master of the East Palace, and did not learn any real knowledge.

Huang Hao has been in elementary school and high school like ordinary children since he was a child, and passed the middle school with honors. Now he is a sophomore student and he is most fascinated by architectural design.

Huang Hao spends his holidays traveling. He has even been to Europe, South and North America. It can be said that he has a wide range of knowledge and knowledge, and his knowledge is a few blocks away from the Ming Dynasty prince.

The prince of Ming Dynasty, the prince and Huang Hao are similar in age and naturally easy to get along with. Unknowingly, Zhu Cihong was tempted by the outside world. He finally knew that the world is not limited to Daming, but should include the entire earth. He is infinitely envious of Huang who can freely travel around the world. Hao.

Prince Daming memorized a new word "earth" in his mind, and finally realized that the sky is not a round place at all. Human beings live on a huge earth. He always wondered why the people under the earth don't fall down?

Nowadays, there are countless Han people who have sailed around the world. The people of "Nanming" all know that the world is a sphere. Seeing the doubts on the faces of the Zhu Cihong brothers, Huang Hao simply invited them to have the opportunity to sail around the world.

The last few young people invited to meet again in "New Hangzhou" next autumn.

Chu'er took his eldest son to stay in the capital of the Ming Dynasty for a few months, during which time he had banquets with too many nobles of civil and military affairs, and Zhang Zhiji personally accompanied his sister and nephew to attend various entertainments regardless of whether Chongzhen was taboo or not.
