Chapter 176 The Emperor with the Worst Luck (today's third update)

Zhang Baoyu sat motionless on the sofa, watching Emperor Chongzhen eat until his body was strengthened, and then stopped him: "Okay, this thing can only strengthen the body once, it is useless to eat, I will save some for you, Let you strengthen a few confidantes!"

After finishing speaking, he sighed again: "The biggest problem for Daming now is that the land cannot support the population of Daming. I will take the refugees to another world, where there is a large amount of land for them to survive, and the number of men in the prime of life as slaves is no more than ten. Wan, I can solve it too."

"But this little glacier weather will take more than ten years to end. In these ten years, Daming must be plagued by natural disasters. Is there anything you can do about it?"

As far as Zhang Baoyu knows, since the first year of Chongzhen (1628), there has been a severe drought in northern China, with thousands of miles of barren land and no grass growing.

"Hannan Xujun Zhi" records, "In the first year of Chongzhen, the whole Shaanxi sky was as red as blood.

Five years of severe famine, six years of floods, seven years of autumn locusts and great famine, eight years of drought in Xixiang, floods in Lueyang, and the destruction of all houses.

Nine years of dry locusts, ten years of no autumn crops, 11 years of summer migratory locusts covering the sky...13 years of severe drought...14 years of drought."

Since the Chongzhen Dynasty, there have been severe droughts in Shaanxi every year, and many people have been displaced.

In the third year of Chongzhen (1630), there was another great hunger in Shaanxi. Ma Maocai, the inspector of Shaanxi, said in "The Great Hunger for Chen" that the people competed for the grass in the mountains. After eating the grass, they peeled the bark and ate it. Can eat Guanyin soil, and finally die of abdominal distension.

In the sixth year of Chongzhen, "more than half of the people in Yaozhou and Chengcheng counties died of drought locusts in Shaanxi."

In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Lu Weiqi, the former minister of the Ministry of War who lived in Henan, wrote to the court: "For several years, the ministers and villages have no year without suffering from famine, no moon without suffering soldiers, and no day without suffering defeat.

Gengwu (the third year of Chongzhen) drought; Xinwei drought; Renshen severe drought.

There is no grass in the wild, and nine rooms are empty. ... There are no barking dogs in the village, but they are still knocking on the door to urge conscripts; there are cuckoos singing in the trees, and they sprinkle all the blood of the whip.

In the yellow and red land, there are almost no people in the villages; the bones are green and phosphorus, and it seems to hear ghosts crying every night.It is impossible to turn the poor people into robbers."

The drought caused locust plagues, making the disaster worse.

In the 11th, 12th, 13th, and [-]th years of Chongzhen, there were locust droughts in Henan. "People eat each other, all vegetation is exhausted, and local bandits rise together."

In the 14th and [-]th years of Chongzhen, "there is a great wilderness in the north and the south...the dead abandon their children, and the Yinghe River is blocked."

In the 14th year of Chongzhen, Zuo Maodi supervised the transportation of water, and the Taoist said: "I arrived in Linqing from Jinghai, and saw that three people died of starvation, three died of epidemics, and four were robbers.

Twenty-four taels of rice, stone and silver are eaten by people who die.Only the Holy Spirit remembers. "

When Xu Biao, the governor of Baoding, was called to Beijing, he said: "I pushed thousands of miles from the river, and saw that the city was completely empty. Even if the city is complete, there are only four walls and city gods left. , chickens and dogs without sound, without meeting a tiller, what kind of world is it!”

At this time, epidemics and diseases broke out in the provinces of North China again, and people died in the morning. "Within one night, the people fled in terror and the city was empty."

In July of the 14th year of Chongzhen, the epidemic spread from Hebei to Beijing. The disease was called "pimple disease".

In August of the 16th year of Chongzhen, the pneumonic plague broke out in Tianjin: "God sent disasters, and the plague was prevalent. Since August (September [-]th), the infection has reached its peak. There are people who die in one or two days, and those who die in the morning and evening, every day. Hundreds of people, even the whole family died without a single person, they went door to door, and no one was saved."

In the 17th year of Chongzhen, Luo Yangxing, the military governor of Tianjin, said, "Yesterday, the capital was plagued by a great plague, and death was everywhere. Ten rooms and nine empties, even all households were wiped out, and no one restrained them."

In the 13th year of Chongzhen, the south of the Yangtze River was flooded. In the 14th year of Chongzhen, there were droughts and locusts. In the 15th year, droughts and epidemics continued.

This is the status quo that Emperor Chongzhen has to face, with continuous natural disasters and plagues one after another!

"I beg the immortal to teach me!" The Emperor Chongzhen who had just seen it didn't know about this problem, but for him, these problems were simply unsolvable, so he had to ask the immortal in front of him for help.

Grabbing Emperor Chongzhen who was about to stand up and salute him, Zhang Baoyu knew that the person in front of him was not incompetent, but really unlucky. How can people say it!
If the refugees were taken away by themselves, Li Zicheng would not be able to develop, and Jiannu's own personal guards could easily solve the problem, and the foreign troubles would be gone, but where is the population base of Daming? .

If there is no way to solve this problem, although the fate of this person has changed, if his descendants do not have his hard work and tenacity, their fate may not be as good as his, and the fate of this world will not change!
When he thought of it, he said it, and told Emperor Chongzhen what he thought just now. Hearing that Zhang Baoyu was willing to help him solve the problem of refugees and foreign aggression, the face of Emperor Chongzhen who was just happy turned dark!
The problems of land and population make the descendants of Yan and Huang never get rid of the reincarnation of changing dynasties every few hundred years!

How could Emperor Chongzhen, who has read poetry and books, not understand this truth, and he also understands that the land of Daming can no longer support the people who grew up on this land, not to mention that there are various natural disasters constantly!

If these two problems are solved, as for the Guanning Army becoming a private army, the Donglin Party, the Eight Great Imperial Merchants, etc., it is nothing but a trivial matter!
But Zhang Baoyu knows that the number of people he can take away every year may not be as many as those born in this world, and immigrants are going all the way to death for this kind of society with backward productivity!
After explaining his two options, Zhang Baoyu looked at this emperor who might be the most unlucky in Chinese history, to see how he would choose!

Zhang Baoyu knew that no matter what he chose, he would agree to it. This was a reward for his life's hard work for the Han nation!
"Are there any places around Daming where people can immigrate?"

After thinking for a while, Emperor Chongzhen asked Zhang Baoyu.

"Yes!" Zhang Baoyu nodded and said, "But the casualties will be huge!" Zhang Baoyu replied without hesitation.

In fact, Zhang Baoyu knew that it would not only be very big, it might not even reach half of it!
Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen had made up his mind, Zhang Baoyu took out the map he had prepared earlier!
You don't need to talk about the next thing yourself, after all, Zhang Baoyu also knows that when it comes to governing the country and handling affairs, even if you flatter yourself, you can't keep up with the other party!
And what I can do for the other party now is to help him get rid of foreign troubles!
In today's Ming Dynasty, outside of Shanhaiguan, Guan Ningjun and my Qing Dynasty each have half!
For decades, in order to keep the power in their hands, the Guan Ning Army has continued to support the bandits, and slowly developed the Guan Ning Army into a private army. This was not formed in the hands of Emperor Chongzhen. In fact, the problem of the Guan Ning Army existed. Decades!
