Chapter 211 The Crisis of Yongle

This country has a severe shortage of copper and money. This has been the case in China since ancient times. The Ming Dynasty’s treasure banknote system collapsed. Later, officials were given salaries and treasure banknotes. one of the reasons.

Moreover, common people in the folk like to hide copper coins. No matter how many good copper coins the country casts, it is not enough. During the Hongwu period, hundreds of millions of copper coins were minted a year. Later, the market flow was almost non-existent, resulting in the country having no money to use. There are many bad coins that have been banned repeatedly.

Daming’s treasure banknotes were spoiled by Lao Zhu, he just issued them but not received them, it’s just a money grab, just like a person tells you that a poker card is worth one tael of gold, and you exchange it with him for the equivalent of one tael of gold. He bought poker cards, but the poker cards in his hand could not be exchanged for a tael of gold.

As a matter of course, the treasure banknote system collapsed directly, and only the shameless Ming Court dared to use it. The merchants in the Ming Dynasty were all slaughtered like chickens, who would dare to fart with Lao Zhu.

No one dares to speak out about Lao Zhu’s nonsense. He is blatantly robbing private wealth, but it has caused the collapse of the national paper currency credit system. Zhu Di will take the blame for his father. Now it’s better to wait until the depreciation of the banknotes during the Wanli period Ten thousand times, a thousand cash is only worth a tenth of a penny.

Therefore, the most urgent task now is how to enrich the money and grain of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, it does not take a long time. In just two to three years, Zeng Yunfeng can fill up the entire treasury. If he moved what his father ordered, he would even grab the seat.

It is impossible for Zeng Yunfeng to do it now, because what Zhu Di thinks is to start the war tomorrow. Under this kind of contradiction, it is impossible to have enough money and food to go to war.

The only result is that the crown prince Zhu Gaochi picks and picks every day, and the Yongle emperor Zhu Di asks the prince for money every day, but the crown prince yells every day that he has no money, so in Emperor Yongle's mind, the prince becomes a crack picker.

At this time, the Prince's East Palace and the Prince's family were complaining.

The crown princess turned her back to the prince Zhu Gaochi and said: "You are still lying here, you see that the second child is well-off, isn't it, Yunnan is pulling a carload of things to his house, and the ladies in the palace say that he is very popular.".

Zhu Di regained Annan as Jiaozhi, and the King of Han made a lot of money from the middle, and Zhu Di was directly granted to Yunnan by the King of Han.

"What kind of popularity is good? When you see someone, you can grab a handful of golden beans and give them away." The princess said angrily.

"Yeah, how rich he is, I want to grab a handful of fried beans and give them to him, but do I have any? It's fine, just calm down." The prince said helplessly.

During the recent period, the courtiers have been urging Yongle Emperor Zhu Di to send his son Hanwang to the domain as soon as possible, but Hanwang just refused to leave.

The prince Zhu Gaochi is worried now, the country has no money now, and his father, Emperor Yongle, wants to fight, so he won't listen to any persuasion.

What the prince thinks in his heart is that Zeng Yunfeng is probably the one who can think of ways to make money for himself now, but he is not easy to open his mouth, even his cheap father Yongle Emperor Zhu Di is not easy to open his mouth.

Zhu Di, the emperor of Yongle, was also an absurd emperor. As an emperor, he just liked to fight and didn't like to deal with government affairs. His son, Prince Zhu Gaochi, handled all government affairs.

After Zhu Dizheng came back from Alutai, he insisted on taking all the memorials from his son Zhu Gaozhi and rereading them himself. The pile of memorials was like a mountain. The crown prince dealt with the memorials for several months, and Emperor Yongle read them again. , Can he be comfortable by himself? It's purely to find things for himself.

Zhu Di is not a very diligent emperor, why should he be so.

Zhu Gaochi, why did he die after being the emperor for a year? It is probably because he was writing memorials to his cheap old man Zhu Di every day, making money to deal with state affairs, and he was almost exhausted. One of the reasons why Zhu Di worked so hard is that I am afraid that Wuyan will go underground to see Lao Zhu.

Now Emperor Yongle Zhu Di took all these memorials back after he came back from the Northern Expedition, and re-made it himself, only to find out what his son, Prince Zhu Gaochi, has done in these months. For a long time, for more than a year, the prince Zhu Gaochi was in charge of the country.

Zeng Yunfeng has seen Zhu Gaochi's political achievements this year. Whether it is a flood or drought in various places, the prince Zhu Gaochi has made proper arrangements for helping the victims.

It can be said that almost half of Emperor Yongle's prosperous age of Yongle was brought to him by Prince Zhu Gaochi. He fought, fought, and fought outside, but the actual results of the Northern Expedition were not much. The largest territory recovery was in the early years of Yongle. , and later established many guards in Liaodong.

Emperor Yongle is commendable for three things, the voyage to the West, the Yongle Grand Ceremony and the recovery of Annan as Jiaozhi, but there is no Mongolia. Emperor Yongle did not conquer Mongolia but died on the way back from conquering Mongolia.

It is said that Zhu Di claimed to have made many expeditions to Mongolia, but Zeng Yunfeng knew that this time, the entire army of 50 people conquered Mongolia and was annihilated. Emperor Yongle Zhu Di really couldn't hold back his face, and recruited another [-] people to conquer Alutai.

However, after defeating Arutai, the land of Arutai did not completely surrender to the Ming Dynasty, but only a symbolic seal, and that place was still under the control of Arutai.

So it can be said that Emperor Yongle labored on an expedition, but in the end he got nothing.

After spending so much national power, nothing is achieved in the end, attacking the grassland, what are you trying to do, just let others kneel down, kneel down and don't let others sing about conquering, they stand up again, isn't this full of food?
The Ming Dynasty beat the Mongols and fled everywhere, and even reached Lake Baikal at the furthest point. When the empire was first established in the early Ming Dynasty, the territory was already very large. Later, Zhu Di extended the territory to all the current Liaodong and Heilongjiang. Including the present Far East, including Sakhalin Island, is the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

However, in these places, due to the lack of means of communication and the bitter cold in these places, many Han people are not used to here, so few people migrate here.

Before the Ming Dynasty found a suitable way to rule here, it was very difficult for the Ming Dynasty to truly attribute this place to its own. Therefore, even though the Ming Dynasty attacked Mongolia again and again and won victory after victory, the final The result is that this land is always difficult to belong to him.

A very important policy to govern the nomads must be formulated before these places and people can be truly ruled, and then it is useful to launch a war here.

These expeditions by Emperor Yongle Zhu Di to Mongolia seemed to be a few big victories, but in fact they were a waste of national power. It was a battle of mutual consumption and no substantial results were achieved. The nomads outside the customs had the final say.

The conquest of Mongolia is only to extend a part of the area of ​​the people in the forest to the west, all the way to Hulunbeier, but the Ming Dynasty can hardly get any output on this land. This kind of war that is not proportional to the reward is actually nothing effect.

Other nomadic peoples are different. They will plunder the population, cattle, sheep and pastures of other tribes in wars to provide favorable conditions for their own tribes to multiply and grow.

The Ming Dynasty could only withdraw after winning the battle here, and then returned home to continue farming and licking the wounds, waiting for the next day's war, but the Ming Dynasty could not get nourishment on this land.

Without finding the real value of the land here, it is difficult to rule the residents of this land, because they live by water and grass, and the Ming Dynasty can't control the nomads here, the descendants of the golden family Borzhijin.

This is the reason why the Ming Dynasty has always fought with the grassland tribes, but it has never benefited.

In the end, Ming Shenzong lost a battle, which brought the whole north to the brink of collapse. Isn't this a problem?

Hongwu, Yongle, and Xuande, these three dynasties have already told the people of the Ming Dynasty that they can win against Mongolia and the grassland tribes, but what is the result? Only once did these foreigners beat the Central Plains people, It almost made the entire Ming Dynasty unable to get up.

After looking at these messy memorials, Emperor Yongle finally understood the hard work of his son Zhu Gaochi. Looking at the mountain of memorials piled up over the past year, he called his son Zhu Gaochi and had a thorough heart-to-heart talk with her in the palace.

At this time, Emperor Yongle was about to hand over his throne to the prince step by step, but the prince Zhu Gaochi had been frightened by his father.

Emperor Yongle was also furious. He had great expectations for him, but the crown prince suddenly took a step back, and Emperor Yongle lost his steps.
