Daming: Lend the system to Emperor Hongwu at the beginning

Chapter 36 The Collapsed Emperor Chongzhen

As the saying goes, defeat is like a mountain.

Even if the government and gentry group has 20 soldiers and horses in their hands, if there is no capable general to dispatch them in the middle, then the effect that these 20 people can play is probably not as good as 20 pigs.

After Xu Da led the army to break through the front battalion, the formation of the army did not have the slightest confusion, and continued to press forward in an orderly pace.

This time there were [-] soldiers from the former battalion in front of them.

The camp in the back hadn't figured out what was going on, and was surrounded by these chaotic soldiers and retreated.

Then there is a chain reaction.

One camp after another collapsed, and even Xu Da was stunned by the speed of the collapse.

When Qian Qianyi, Ma Shiying and others from the rear saw this situation, they didn't know that the situation was over. They didn't care about the battle of words, and ran away with their confidants.

In such a chaotic situation, there is really no other way except to save his life first.

In the heights of the Huluzui Valley in the distance, Huang Degong stared at this scene stunned.

"Mother ball, a bunch of idiots without eggs!"

"You can't even organize his mother's basic defense, so he's still playing a ball!"

"Children, stop fighting, surrender!" He was also a bachelor. He threw the weapon in his hand and took the [-] elite soldiers on the mountain to Xu Da at the foot of the mountain.

He thought very clearly that this defeat was doomed, and since it was a defeat, it would definitely need a scapegoat, and this strategy was proposed by him, and the scapegoat was simply tailor-made for him.

If he dares to go back, Qian Qianyi, Ma Shiying and others will probably let him die without a place to be buried in order to give an explanation to the gentry in the world and to shirk their responsibilities.

As a brave person who can kill all the way from the lowest level of soldiers, although he has no culture, he knows how to judge the situation very well.

How could Baba go back and die.

Moreover, after this great defeat, the official gentry group in the world has been severely damaged, and coupled with the continuous bloodletting by the righteous king, I am afraid that the grasshoppers in the autumn will not be able to squat for a few days.

No matter who is standing behind this righteous king, the south of the Yangtze River will probably be what others have said in the future. If he surrenders now, he may still be able to get an official and a half-rank. Maybe....

Chongzhen was a little overwhelmed during this time.

In just one month, large-scale peasant uprisings broke out in seven provinces south of the Yangtze River, and memorials from all over the country flew into Nanjing like snowflakes, and they were placed on the desk of Emperor Chongzhen.

The half of the country that Emperor Chongzhen thought he could barely maintain, suddenly seemed to be caught in a precarious situation again.

And this time it was even worse than in Beiping. At that time, there was a group of civil and military ministers who followed him to the end, but now his courtiers and Aiqing have basically run away.

The huge city of Nanjing, the huge Ming Empire seems to have entered a state of anarchy all of a sudden.

No one cares about what he thinks of the emperor, he seems to have become a dispensable person.

"Why is my life so hard!"

Emperor Chongzhen sat in the empty Fengtian Hall, and finally burst into tears of grievance.

When he was in Peiping City two years ago, although Zhu Yuanzhang taught him a hard lesson and even beat him, he was still helping him maintain the dignity of the court, but this time the emperor didn't even want to face him. See you.

Is this a complete disappointment for him?

He has been the Ninth Five-Year Venerable for nearly 20 years, but at this moment he feels extremely wronged for no reason.

I also want to run this country well!

Since he ascended the throne, he has never been lazy for a day, the court has never been interrupted, and he handles government affairs until late at night every day.

The court had no money, so he subsidized it with the silver from the inner treasury. Even if the dragon robe was broken, he was reluctant to replace it with a new one, but asked the queen to mend it.

Emperor Chongzhen felt that he had worked hard enough, but why was the world still in decline.

Could it be that he really couldn't escape the title of the monarch of the subjugated country?
"Humph...!" A sudden cold hum suddenly sounded in the hall.

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly became smart and raised his head to look at the figure at the gate of Fengtian Hall, tears welling up in his eyes again.

"Emperor, tell me, where did I go wrong?"

"The ancestors are on top. I, Zhu Youjian, asked myself that I had done everything I could, but why...why did I still come to such a point!"

"I'm not reconciled!"

When Emperor Chongzhen saw Zhu Yuanzhang again, he completely broke his defense. He knelt directly in front of the throne and wept bitterly.

"Nothing worthwhile, why cry!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted loudly.

He walked in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

To be honest, he originally wanted to beat him up when he saw Emperor Chongzhen again, but now he raised his palm high, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't let it go.

After all, this guy is not too absurd among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

He's just an incompetent mediocrity.

Some things were not done well, and I really can't blame him.

"Okay, put away your tears."

"If there is any grievance, let us hold it back!"

"Then take a good look, let's help you rule this country."

Zhu Yuanzhang walked slowly to the throne and sat down directly. The moment he sat down, his eyes suddenly became sharp.

Xu Da and Li Wenzhong, one in the army and the other in the field, have already completed the tasks and deployments they had given them, controlling [-]% of the army of the Ming Dynasty today, and at the same time ploughing the entire southern group of officials and gentry with deep roots.

Next, it's time for him to go to the front of the stage and make a real shot.

three days later.

Suddenly, an imperial decree came out from the Fengtian Temple, which had been silent for a long time.

This first imperial decree shocked everyone.

"All officials who are not allowed to leave Beijing without authorization must return to their positions within a month, and those who do not comply will be dismissed from all their achievements and will never be used again.

"Ha, this is just a joke. The person in the palace has lost his mind and is crazy. Ma Ge Lao and others are now suppressing bandits in the local area, how can they come back?"

"Hehe, this is another tantrum!"

"We thought we were in Beiping City!"

"Unfortunately, this is Nanjing!"

"Heh... If it weren't for the maintenance of several patriarchs and six ministers who were sleepless and sleepless, I still don't know if the Ming Dynasty still exists today!"

After the decree was issued, very few responded, and there were even scholars who openly challenged the authority of the decree in public.

Hearing the news from Jin Yiwei, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed angrily.

"The scholars in the south are really lawless. The Ming Dynasty has been lenient to the scholars for more than 200 years. Do you really think that no one can control them?"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

He just doesn't believe in this evil, and he just wants to kill the spirit of these scholars.

Half a month after the decree was issued, Jin Yiwei suddenly dispatched and arrested more than 200 scholars who spoke wild words in public.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and chopped off the heads of these people before everyone could react.

"Your Majesty, what you do is so chilling to the hearts of scholars in the world!"

"Since the beginning of the Taizu Dynasty, I have never been convicted for my words!" Shi Kefa, the minister of military affairs who stayed in Nanjing, rushed into the Fengtian Temple angrily, preparing to admonish Chongzhen to death.

Then he saw Zhu Yuanzhang sitting high on the throne, and Emperor Chongzhen standing beside him respectfully.

His face full of anger could not help but stagnate.
