Chapter 127: Problems with the Ming Dynasty System

"What are you going to do?"

Lao Zhu was curious. He had some ideas of his own on how to deal with Shanxi Shanxi merchants, but he still wanted to hear Zhu Houzhao's opinion.

Compare them with each other to see whose method can make Shanxi merchants deeply feel what betrayal deserves.

Lao Zhu already hated merchants. The basic national policy of the Ming Dynasty was to emphasize agriculture and suppress merchants. In addition, Shanxi and Shanxi merchants were also charged with treason, and this disgust was reached to an extreme level.

Skinning, pulling grass, and removing intestines. He invented many tortures that should be given to Shanxi merchants to try.

It can also be used to shock the world and let some people who are ready to act know that there is a price to pay for treason.

And 99% of the people in the world cannot afford this price.

"What does Grandpa Taizu plan to do?"

Zhu Houzhao asked rhetorically.

"How to do it?"

Moreover, they have more important things to deal with and have no time to care about Zhu Cihong for the time being.

Yuan Chonghuan sent another memorial, still asking for military pay. The memorial also mentioned that if the imperial court did not send the general's pay, he would not be able to suppress his soldiers.

Some people believe that the Ming Dynasty died at the hands of Zhu Houcong in Jiajing. His failure caused the power of the civil servant group to skyrocket, completely overwhelming all forces, causing the government to lose balance and starting a protracted party struggle!

Some people think that the Ming Dynasty died due to Xuande and Zhu Zhanji because he gave up Hetao, Annan, Xinjiang and other places. However, in fact, the Ming Dynasty had almost zero control over Hetao, Annan, Xinjiang and other places, and invested a lot of financial and material resources in it.

, even a drop of water cannot float, so giving up is a helpless move.

Cheng Guogong, Qingyuan Marquis, Guang Enbo, Ningyang Marquis, Anyuan Bo, Ningyuan Marquis. All the nobles, big and small, except the British Duke Zhang Ji, none of them escaped the fate of having their homes confiscated.

But in fact, the fundamental problem of the Ming Dynasty is still the imperfection of the system. If the Ming Dynasty's system can be more open, the Ming Dynasty will be less than three hundred years old.

After awakening, Zhu Cihong acted more unscrupulously and more cruelly. Some nobles refused to open the door, so he simply led the royal guards in and directly carried out bloody massacres.

Lao Zhu said with emotion.

Co-author: The only person who is truly poor is his father, Zhu Youjian!

He thoroughly understood that few civil and military officials in the entire dynasty were clean, and moths were everywhere. How could such a great Ming Dynasty not decline or be defeated?

In the original historical direction, when Li Zicheng captured the capital, Cheng Guo Gong and Prince Consort, who had no sense of moral integrity and surrendered, eventually died under Zhu Cihong's sword.

The basic system of the Ming Dynasty formulated by Lao Zhu put the royal family at the top, scholars, peasants, industry and merchants in order, military households were always military households, and craftsmen were always craftsmen, which led to serious class solidification.

Zhu Youjian was so angry that he threw Yuan Chonghuan's memorial to the ground, wishing to cut Yuan Chonghuan and his gang of warlords into pieces.

Zhu Houzhao did not answer the call. He knew the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty better than anyone else. Although the emperor Zhu Qizhen was at fault, the problem was mostly related to the system of the Ming Dynasty.

Among the many nobles who had their homes confiscated by him, each one was richer than the last. The gold and silver piled up like mountains, and the alluring light emitted refreshed Zhu Cixiang's three views over and over again.

Some people even think that the cause of the demise of the Ming Dynasty originated from Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Youtang, Zhu Jianshen, and Zhu Youxiao. In short, the public is right when he says it, and the mother-in-law is right. The reasons are very sufficient.

If we want to save the Ming Dynasty, we can only kill all the moths that have eroded the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. Only then can the Ming Dynasty be reborn.

Zhu Cixiang and his royal guards brought panic to the capital, and everyone was afraid that he would be the next one to be found.

Dream, dream, because it is just a dream, just a thought.

"Asshole."

Although Zhu Qizhen, the so-called emperor, is hateful and shameful, his appearance only accelerated the decline of the Ming Dynasty!

There are always many people in later generations discussing the demise of the Ming Dynasty. Some people think that the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by Zhu Yijun of Wanli Dynasty. The three great conquests of Wanli Dynasty depleted the little wealth Zhang Juzheng had accumulated for the Ming Dynasty. Li Chengliang promoted the invaders to be self-respecting, which led to the establishment of slaves and the rise of power, which made it even worse.

The Ming Dynasty fell completely into the abyss.

Within the capital, Zhu Cixiang's house raiding operation was going on vigorously, and he was going crazy!

"Never in our wildest dreams did we imagine that the Ming Dynasty we created would be so chaotic."

He founded the Ming Dynasty and formulated every law and system in the hope that the Ming Dynasty would last forever. However, facts have proved that there is no empire in the world that will never decline, and all his expectations are just dreams.

It was precisely because he was aware of the shortcomings of the Ming system that Zhu Houzhao actively implemented reforms. If he wanted to make the Ming Dynasty truly far ahead of the Han and Tang Dynasties and surpass the ancient times, only by fundamentally changing the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, a generation of super ruthless people stepped on the blood of nobles and was slowly born in the withering of life.

Lao Zhu showed a cruel smile, which seemed particularly cruel when matched with his calm and self-confident demeanor: "Illegal smuggling, betrayal of the country for glory, such unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust people should be punished with capital punishment and the nine tribes must be destroyed."

.”

He understood clearly and his heart became cold!

Zhu Cihong evolved from a simple house raid to a bloodbath in the capital. It was not that the old Zhu family in the palace didn't know about it, but they just didn't want to care about it. The civil and military ministers of the Chongzhen Dynasty were all rotten to the core, so it was a good thing for Zhu Cihong to clean them up.

Full of strong threats!

What he wants is money. At present, money is needed everywhere in the court. As for the life of nobles, he doesn't take it seriously at all. It's just a moth. If it dies, it will die.

Zhu Houzhao didn't say much. This was the Chongzhen Dynasty, not his Zhengde Dynasty. It was unrealistic to let Shanxi and Shanxi merchants farm land and open up wasteland. It would be easier to kill them directly.

Classes were solidified and there was no chance to pursue a higher status. Military households and craftsmen began to fall flat, while businessmen frantically evaded taxes. Scholars became more and more superior, while other classes were out of reach. The root of the decline was at the beginning.

The seeds have been planted. No matter how it develops, the Ming Dynasty cannot escape the fate of decline.

Search your home, keep searching your home!

Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Chengguo, tried to resist because he was a noble and a relative of the royal family, but was killed by Zhu Cixiang.

In the process of ransacking the house, what little kindness Zhu Cixi had left was completely wiped out. The wealth owned by these nobles was even worse than that of the Donglin Party.

"When we catch Shanxi Shanxi merchants, we will do as Grandfather Taizu said!"

It had only been a long time since he last asked for military pay, and now he was demanding military pay in a desperate manner. He was really being taken advantage of.

The Donglin Party fooled him, and the border warlords bullied him. He, Zhu Youjian, was not a soft persimmon. If he really wanted to push him, he would kill Yuan Chonghuan first.

As Zhu Houzhao said, the Ming Dynasty did not have generals who were good at fighting, and Yuan Chonghuan was not the only one, nor was he irreplaceable.

Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao, Chen Qiyu, Mu Tianbo, Qin Liangyu, Huang Degong. Without him Yuan Chonghuan, the sky would fall!
