Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Although he did not go to court for several days, Zhu Youjian did not die of drunkenness in Chen Yuanyuan's gentle hometown. He just sat alone in his study in a daze.

Looking around the world, no one knows the current situation of the Ming Dynasty better than him, a time traveler. In one word - rotten.

And it's not just ordinary rottenness, it's rotten to the point where it's a complete mess, hopeless, and about to perish.

I want to save the Ming Dynasty. Well, I confess, in fact, I want to save myself. Who made me the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?

Zhu Youjian knew very well that others could surrender, but he could not, because surrender was also death. He had no choice but to risk his life.

But his current situation is that he needs people but no soldiers, he needs soldiers but no soldiers, he needs money but no money, he needs food but no food, and he is also blind and deaf, making him a miserable and polished commander.

The Jin Yiwei were the eyes and ears of the Ming Dynasty royal family. In order to please the civil servant group, Chongzhen laid off the Jin Yiwei. Then he became a big blind man and was deceived by the civil servants in various ways. This was one of the reasons for the demise of the Ming Empire.

Beijing is the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty. It is said that there are 100,000 elite Beijing troops stationed there. After deducting the wages of the old, weak, sick and disabled, it is estimated that only 10,000 people are left to fight on the battlefield, but most of the officers with military power have been bribed. , has become the dog-legger of the civil servant group. If the civil servant rebels, he will probably be chopped off without even being able to hold on for a second.

Talent?

The Ming Dynasty is not without talents. In fact, there are quite a lot of them, such as Qin Liangyu, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, etc., but they are either bribed by the civil service group, or they surrender and become traitors, or they are outside the circle of power and have no intention of serving the Ming Dynasty loyally. Opportunity, and Chongzhen played an important role in causing all this.

It is said that money is a man's courage, especially in ancient times, in the Ming Dynasty, and at this time, it is absolutely impossible to have no money.

In fact, Ming Dynasty was very wealthy, but most of the money was in the hands of civil servants and businessmen, and the emperor was a poor man.

According to historical records, when Beijing was surrounded by Li Zicheng's army, Emperor Chongzhen personally came forward to borrow money. He only needed a million military expenses to boost morale and defend the capital. However, all the officials were crying and couldn't borrow a single copper coin.

After Li Zicheng conquered the capital, he quickly raised tens of millions of taels of military expenses in one fell swoop. If Emperor Chongzhen knew about it, he would probably vomit hundreds of liters of blood.

Zhu Youjian also knew in his heart that with the poor temperament of these civil servants, if he wanted to borrow their money, it would be better to kill them. If he wanted to kill them, his own life would not be saved first. He had no choice but to give in first. Endured it.

First, he secretly develops his wretchedness. When he becomes strong, he will first beat up Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, then beat up the Qing army, and by the way, clean up all these hateful civil servants. He wants the country and the beauty.

Saying one thousand, saying ten thousand, and not having money are all lies. Getting money first is the best and most urgent thing.

Wang Daban, how much money do I still have in my coffers? Zhu Youjian looked at Wang Chengen, the eunuch and eunuch Bingbi, who was standing by with his hands hanging down, and there was a somewhat complicated look in his eyes unconsciously.

The treasury is the treasury of the inner palace and the emperor's small treasury. He doesn't know exactly how much money there is, but he hopes the more the better.

According to historical records in Zhu Youjian's memory, although Wang Chengen was not very capable, he was absolutely loyal and accompanied Emperor Chongzhen to hang himself on the southeast branch.

Now, as long as he is alive, he will never let Wang Chengen hang himself.

Your Majesty, there are still 215,100 taels of silver in the treasury. Wang Chengen bowed and replied. Although he felt that the emperor was a little different these days, he never dared to doubt it.

Soul penetration is so evil that it cannot be explained, not to mention that the Emperor is the True Dragon Emperor, the Nine-Fiveth Supreme, how can anything be fake under his nose?

Ah, so few? Zhu Youjian had a disappointed expression on his face. Although he knew that Emperor Chongzhen was a poor man, he was still the largest landowner in the world, and he was usually quite frugal. No matter how poor he was, he should have a million dollars at least. ?

But having said that, 210,000 taels of silver can still be used for a lot of things. Besides, he is a time traveler with a golden finger and a dignified Ming emperor, so making money is much easier than ordinary people.

Time is running out, so let’s put up Jin Yiwei’s frame first.
