This Chongzhen is Too Extreme

During the Little Ice Age in the late Ming Dynasty, in the north (especially near Shaanxi), the emperor was a time traveler. Without supernatural powers such as a system and only knowing the general trend of future development, would he have the chance to ensure that most people would not starve to death and peasant uprisings would not break out?

As long as this book is not sealed, it must be a sacred book! This subject matter alone is the most fascinating subject matter I have ever read!

I really can't stand it, so I'm just writing this without thinking.

In the fourth year of Tianqi, Wei Zhongxian killed Yang Lian with a stick, and the eunuch party took control of the household department. Also because Emperor Tianqi had no interest in government affairs and the emperor's delegation of power, Wei Zhongxian stole the highest power. And what did he do after that? In the sixth year of Tianqi's reign, it was ordered that "the merchants at the border ports are doing good business, and the taxes and money at each port are not official tributes, but they must be pardoned to show the court's kindness to the merchants." In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, merchants from Zhili and other places in Zhejiang, as well as merchants from Yaowang Temple, were exempted from taxes by factory officials. (Factory minister refers to Wei Zhongxian). In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Tongguan and Xianyang are exempted from commercial taxes. The above three points prove that after Wei Zhongxian came to power, the commercial tax advocated by the Donglin Party was exempted. And Wei Zhongxian did more than just this after taking office. 1. Increase salt classes. Salt is a specialty product. Doing so will only burden the people and lead to the proliferation of illegal salt. And all this money is used to line their own pockets. 2. Cast inferior copper coins for personal gain. 3. He falsely accused businessmen and confiscated their property to enrich his own pockets. The most famous one was falsely accusing Huizhou merchants. He did not use the money on himself, but he also did not use it on the country. Instead, he used the money to build a palace for Emperor Tianqi. There are more than 5 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to a year's salary. 4. Selling horse riding privileges in the capital. 5. Expropriating treasury silver is a heinous crime. Treasury silver refers to the treasury money in various places. This basically leaves the local area with no way to survive and no development at all. All in all, Wei Zhongxian definitely did not collect business taxes, and it was not beneficial to the country. Some people say that during the Tianqi period, when Wei Zhongxian was in power, there was no shortage of money and there were no major problems at the border. By the Chongzhen period, not to mention the lack of money, the border failed, causing the Ming Dynasty's defense line to retreat to Shanhaiguan. Why was the Chongzhen Dynasty short of money? The "Ming Dynasty Jiubian Military Expenditure Examination" records that in the sixth and seventh years of the Apocalypse, Jiubian owed military pay as high as 70%. What does this mean? Let me give you an example: 6 million was the military expenditure for one year in Liaodong during the Tianqi period. When Wei Zhongxian was in power, he owed 70% of the two-year military expenditure for the Nine Sides. What a huge amount this was. In the end, Chongzhen never paid back this money. So, didn't the Tianqi Dynasty have any money? Of course not, the Liaodong campaign was the most expensive, and during the Tianqi years, Liao's salary could be levied at 9% a year, a total of more than 5 million. Includes various remaining taxes and normal taxes. There was no shortage of money during Tianqi's reign, but he owed military pay. Either the money went into his pocket, Wei Zhongxian, or Wei Zhongxian used the money to take Emperor Tianqi to eat, drink and have fun. Let's talk about the Liaodong Campaign. The war against the Qing Dynasty during the Tianqi Period still had an advantage, but the reasons are as follows. 1. The Qing Dynasty has not yet completed its integration and its strength has not yet fully risen. The defeat during the Wanli period was entirely caused by improper command. It can be seen that the situation in Liaodong in the early days of Chongzhen was still evenly divided. 2. The country is relatively stable. This stability refers to being more stable than in the late Chongzhen period, because the country was not very short of money at this time, so the people were not as desperate as the Chongzhen Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty army was not so short of pay. To sum up, Wei Zhongxian is indeed not a capable minister, nor a good minister, nor a pure minister. Wei Zhongxian was originally a gambler. He was different from other eunuchs, who were castrated and entered the palace at a young age. However, after Wei Zhongxian got married and had children, he lost money in gambling, so he sold his wife and children, and finally entered the palace after many twists and turns. Since then, he has been unknown. If he died at the age of 52, this person would not appear on the stage of history, because in his 52 years ago, he was just an ordinary eunuch who could not be ordinary. However, things are unpredictable. In the first year of Taichang, Mingshen and Guangzong died of illness one after another. The outstanding architect Mingxi Zong Zhu Youxiao, who was only 16 years old, came to the throne. At this time, Wei Zhongxian ascended to the throne in one step. It was at this time that Wei Zhongxian began the most glorious seven years of his life. So who are the Donglin Party members who oppose Wei Zhongxian? Donglin people are young intellectuals represented by Donglin College. They take "cultivating one's moral integrity, harmonizing one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world" as their own mission. They criticize the current situation, demand public service, and be open to speaking out. The Donglin Party is the disparaging name given to it by the group headed by Wei Zhongxian. In fact, the Donglin people are a group of people with extremely high cultural literacy and are known as the "backbone" of the Ming Dynasty. I don't rule out that there are some villains among them. But most of them are honest people who are serious about saving the country and criticizing the current situation. As Donglin leader Gu Xiancheng said. "The sound of wind, rain, reading, sounds in my ears, family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned." Some people say that people from Donglin are harming the country with their empty talk. This is empty talk. Among people from Donglin is Yang Lian, who was persecuted to death by Wei Zhongxian because he spoke out and dared to remonstrate. There are a group of patriots such as Zuo Guangdou, Li Sancai, and Zhao Nanxing. There is absolutely no comparison between Wei Zhongxian and the Donglin people. The former was an eunuch who played tricks on the country and brought disaster to the people, while the latter was a scholar who was dedicated to serving the country. Again, I don't deny that some people in Donglin are traitors, but most of them are loyal people. Yang Lian's masterpiece. "Lian Jin is dead! He is obsessed with repaying his master, but he is a foolish and honest enemy. He has been fighting for a long time, and he no longer cares about him. He does not flee for Zhang Jian, nor does he seek medicine for Yang Zhen. He wants to return to the court with his life, and he does not want his wife to cry in his ears. Thunder and rain, could it be God's grace, a life of benevolence and righteousness, and death in prison, it is hard to say that there is no place to die. What regrets to God? Why blame others? But as a deputy constitutional minister, I have been ordered to do so. Finally, we can see the late emperor in heaven, the two ancestors and ten sects, the emperor and the empress, and the world will last forever. Laugh, laugh, laugh some more! What does it do to me if I cut the east wind with a sword? "

I went to Chongzhen to be an evil cultivator! He killed good people and framed the prince, burned his own palace and framed the prince, and then exterminated the clan with great justice. Without trial, police uniforms and guards killed more than a hundred households on the same day.

If you don't study the underlying development logic in detail, this is a good book. It feels a bit like a Ming Dynasty time-travel rebellion novel with a different skin. Your Majesty, why did you rebel?

Don't you read what you wrote? I remember you wrote that you were a time traveler!

Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool
