Ming Dynasty: Starting from Chongzhen's Vassalage in Guangzhou

Bro, you don't really think that the little prince Ming Wuzong of the Leopard Fang went to the south of the Yangtze River to play, do you? You don't really think that the Ming Wuzong died after falling into the water, right? People led troops to ride in the south of the Yangtze River. Since the opening of the Chinese law cannot be implemented, the frontier troops have not been short of pay every day. There was almost a mutiny every year to ask for pay from the emperor. Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty led his army to fight for food with the southeastern gentry and was killed in the end. You actually want to go south to join the vassal and make money on the way. Believe it or not, when you go south, you will start a Japanese rebellion, and then you will be frightened and fall into the water and die.

Fiscal revenue may not even account for 5% of GDP, and it has almost reached 20% in the Song Dynasty. The fundamental reason is that Lao Zhu was a farmer and stubbornly set a low commercial tax, and he also gave it to the emperor and Ming Dynasty to prevent others from changing it. Any policy is time-sensitive, how can there be a policy that will never change?

To be honest, I am also thinking about a novel, but unfortunately I can't write it. It also begins with the feudal lord in the late Ming Dynasty! After checking some information, it was found that when Zhu Youxiao had no son, Zhu Youjian could not leave the capital at will. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a special title for this, called City Shou Wang! Therefore, the situation where Zhu Youjian became a vassal at the beginning would basically not exist in the Ming Dynasty!

As someone who is not interested in historical reading, I have been following it, which is very interesting. Support the author.

The farming dynasty was a dynasty that relied on the sky for its livelihood. The temperature in the late Ming Dynasty dropped year by year. As the temperature dropped, the disaster-stricken area gradually expanded from the Great Wall line to the Qinhuai line. In the early years of Chongzhen, Jiubian's grain production decreased by tens of millions of dan. In the last years of Chongzhen, Jiuzhou's grain output was hundreds of millions of dan, while the annual income of Jingcang was only a few dollars. Millions of stones, such a large food gap has exceeded the human limit of the farming era. No matter what Chongzhen's emperor and ministers did, they could not solve the food crisis in Kyushu, unless half of the population of Kyushu was slaughtered like in the early Qing Dynasty, but this was not something the Zhu family dared to do.

Why do I like Daming? That's the reason.

The emotional drama is not good to watch, it always feels like reading a Japanese light novel, and it feels so awkward when compared to a historical hegemony novel.

The population at the end of the Ming Dynasty was 400 million, including black households. The main foreign trade is smuggling by the bureaucratic capital, gentry and landlord groups, and the main categories are tea porcelain, silk floss, paper and ironware. Interest groups have planted a large number of fields with cash crops for maximum profit, resulting in a reduction in the area of ​​food cultivation. The court's tax revenue is mainly from food, and other taxes can be ignored. The Thirty Years' War in Europe led to a reduction in merchant ships, and interest groups were unable to obtain corresponding benefits, so they shifted the direction of smuggling to the north, which accelerated the growth of foreign enemies. This period has reached the maximum critical value. Natural disasters are coupled with man-made disasters, and sufficient materials cannot be mobilized for disaster relief. The situation is completely out of control. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the moral line must be lowered, otherwise you will not be able to do anything at all, and will not rescue the disaster-stricken areas, but will directly lead you to make a living outside. But it is necessary to control the army and then unite the clans and vassal kings. To put it bluntly, it is necessary to have the direct power of the emperor himself.

Your version is very outdated. I used to read history books and felt that it was destiny for old slaves to gather together every ten years and two generations to enter the customs. Now I see it is pure nonsense. The history of Kang, Qian and Yong was compiled to make you feel this way. Where is Liaodong? It's cold weather all year round, and it's a swamp. When the snow melts, it becomes a swamp. What do you want to plant in this kind of world? Therefore, the Northeast has been a nation of fishers and hunters since ancient times. As an old slave, how can he recruit millions of Han people to work for him? Making dried meat is not bad. In this environment, his logistics must be terrible. In this situation, how can he pull tens of thousands of troops? That's not a joke. You have to know that war soldiers consume a huge amount of food and supplies every day. Do you think peasant soldiers can also fight? Does he understand the flags? The rise of Hou Jin must be promoted by a huge organization. A lot of people on Douyin have been ripped apart, including the Donglin Party, the Jin Party, and Li Chengliang. Otherwise, it cannot be explained. Hou Jin suddenly rose up, defeated the Baizhan Ming Army, and then captured Shenyang in detail 😜. Isn't this a joke? When Hou Jin was about to perish, Yuan Chonghuan stopped acting and directly trapped and killed him. Mao Wenlong destroyed the Dongjiang Corps for no reason, but the Donglin Party deserved it. In the end, most of them were killed by the Manchus. However, more than 100 million people died in the war due to such a group. I saw a paragraph before. When Wu Sangui entered Chengdu for the second time, he needed to cut grass to see the road clearly, because the people there had been cleared, and weeds and trees had grown all over Chengdu.

It's too little. Let's go over the seven years quickly. It's hard to write about early development, and it's rare to write good-looking ones.

It's better to help Tianqi, we can't fight alone.
