Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed
Chapter 37 The first sword of ascension to the throne, behead Wei Zhongxian first!
Chapter 37 The first sword to ascend the throne, behead Wei Zhongxian first!
"In Ming Dynasty at that time, civil officials had won an overwhelming victory.
Formed one group after another.
Under such circumstances, the previous emperor, in order to compete with the civil official group.
So I started to gradually reuse eunuchs..."
Han Cheng told aloud what he knew.
As a result, he had just said a little bit before being interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Wait a minute, how did the civil servants form an overwhelming victory?
In order to fight against the civil servants, do they still need to support eunuchs?
Where did Xungui go?
What about our Daming generals? ! "
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice seemed a little anxious.
Han Chengdao: "Your Majesty, this matter, the child has no mother, is a long story, and it needs to start from a long time ago.
This involves another descendant of yours, are you sure you want to hear it at this time? "
Hearing Han Cheng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment, but suppressed the doubt in his heart.
Compared with how the civil servants won the overwhelming victory, he was more concerned about why Chongzhen, a descendant of later generations, allowed Daming to perish in his hands.
Because he really couldn't figure out why such a hard-working, not wanton, and not short-lived emperor let Daming die in his hands.
"Then you can continue talking about Chongzhen."
Han Cheng nodded, and then continued to speak: "After Chongzhen came to power, he was limped by those so-called Qingliu civil officials.
these people.He kept saying bad things about the eunuchs here in Chongzhen, and made the eunuchs say heinous crimes.
It directly rises to the level that the eunuchs and the eunuchs are the ones who are causing trouble in the world.
If only the eunuchs are dealt with, then the world will be peaceful.
All kinds of difficulties that Daming encountered will disappear.
Chongzhen listened to what these people said, so he did it. A man named Wei Zhongxian solved it.
Of course Wei Zhongxian is not a good person. He has power in the government and the public, and he has done a lot of bad things.
But one thing is very important, he can compete with civil servants.
Chongzhen not only solved Wei Zhongxian, but also abolished the corresponding institutions..."
Hearing Han Cheng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help frowning.
I feel that Chongzhen's move is too fatuous.
Although he didn't understand what the specific situation was at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
However, as a person who is very good at power, he understands that the most taboo in the court is the dominance of one family.
It is best to find a few more companies and balance them.
For example, he is now, step by step, gradually gathering the power in the hands of Huaixi Xungui, and preventing people like Huaixi Xungui from dominating the family.
As a result, Chongzhen was lucky. As soon as he came to power, he directly wiped out one party completely.
Most importantly, the eunuch he killed turned out to be the eunuch!
As an emperor, he knew where eunuchs' rights came from.
It is from the emperor.
It can be said to be an extension of imperial power.
The eunuchs themselves belonged to the emperor's minions.
Compared with civil servants, eunuchs are undoubtedly easier to control.
No matter how powerful the eunuch is, he must ultimately obey the emperor.
Their rights themselves come from the emperor, who has the power of life and death over them.
As a result, as soon as Chongzhen came to power, he even attacked the eunuchs.
Still slashing the knife so hard, isn't this a self-cutting arm? !
"madness!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but cursed out loud.
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's scolding, Han Cheng couldn't help but take another look at Zhu Yuanzhang.
This old Zhu is worthy of being Lao Zhu, a person who walked out of the sea of corpses and blood.
You can see the essence of the matter at a glance.
He had just said the beginning, and he had already seen that Chongzhen's move was foolish.
"Actually, if I don't say anything about the latter, His Majesty should have already guessed it.
Since he cut off his arm and abolished the eunuch party, the many civil officials praised Emperor Chongzhen in various ways.
The eunuchs who kept them in balance finally disappeared!
They are free!
Then, they want more and get more.
They gained a lot, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, but lost a lot.
For example, taxes were not collected at the beginning, and the treasury began to run out of money.
In the past, when eunuchs were reused, no matter how they behaved, there was no shortage of money in the treasury.
At least the tax can be collected.
As soon as the eunuch party was abolished, the tax began to decrease rapidly.
The key point is that the burden of many people has not been relieved by this.
So where did the tax go?
One can imagine..."
"Since it is found that taxes are not coming up, we should immediately recognize our mistakes and correct them, continue to organize eunuchs, collect taxes, and stop losses in time."
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded.
Zhu Yuanzhang is such a person. Sometimes, face is not that important to him.
Especially when it comes to national affairs.
On the surface, he may not admit his mistakes, but in fact he is very honest.
There is much to do.
Han Cheng shook his head.
"Chongzhen did not do this, this is the biggest and most successful thing he has done since he came to power.
And because of this, he has received a lot of praise, how could he form another eunuch party?
And those civil servants didn't want him to form an eunuch anymore. "
"What about the tax?
The country has no money, and many things will go wrong!
What method did he adopt to solve the problem of empty treasury? "
Han Chengdao: "He did use some methods.
For example, cutting expenses.
In order to reduce expenses, he canceled some government organizations.
For example, the official post station has a lot of layoffs.
In many places, it is simply abolished directly.
As a result, many people who originally belonged to the imperial court were directly unemployed and had no living income.
As a result, many people who could not survive joined the ranks of rebellion.
Originally, the level of rebels in Daming was not so high.
But with the addition of these people, it suddenly became extraordinary.
Later, in the territory of Ming Dynasty, an extremely powerful rebel gang appeared, and the leader was such an unemployed person.
"idiot!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help scolding again.
station!How could he abolish the station? !
Doesn't he know how important the delivery of news is to the government? !
The station was abolished!
Is this to turn oneself into a deaf person, into a blind person? !
It is better to come from other places with better troops and simpler administration than directly come here! !
"In addition to throttling, of course, open source.
If the tax is not enough, then increase it.
Daming at that time could be said to be full of disasters.
Droughts, plagues, and locust plagues occurred frequently.
The climate is very extreme.
In many places, there is no harvest, and families are destroyed.
Many people will not survive.
Because of these disasters, many people died.
But because the government has no money and food in its hands, there is basically no disaster relief.
There is basically no tax exemption policy.
On the contrary, Chongzhen also stepped up the collection of food and payment.
Collect more taxes from many people.
"Bastard!"
"madness!!"
"Stupid as a pig!!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang cursed loudly.
The chest rose and fell sharply.
He had never seen such a stupid person! !
Lao Zhu's eyes were red and bloodshot.
He rebelled because he couldn't survive anymore!
Only then did Daming come into existence.
As a result, when it came to the descendants of later generations, they even started not to treat the low-level people as human beings! !
When there is a disaster, it’s fine if there is no relief, and if there is no reduction or exemption of taxes, it will not be mentioned, and there is even an increase in taxes!
This is not alive, do you want to force people to death? ! !
