The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 649: Emperor Tianqi, the last true ruler of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 649: The Last True Ruler of the Ming Dynasty - Emperor Tianqi
"Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty: Between the two major plains of Liaodong is the Yanshan Mountains along the coast, and Ningyuan was built on the mountains."

"But the Yanshan Mountains turn left in front of the North China Plain, creating a gate to the Liaoxi Corridor, thus forming Shanhaiguan."

"This place has a magnificent and majestic terrain. To the north, there are mountains and rivers, transportation is inconvenient, and the land is barren. An army without a navy cannot deploy any troops at all, nor can it stay for a long time."

"South of Shanhaiguan, the terrain is open, the land is fertile, and transportation is convenient. The guards can increase their military strength, equipment, and various defense materials anytime and anywhere."

"This kind of terrain means that it will never be possible to break through Shanhaiguan from the north."

"And the only time Shanhaiguan was breached was also from the south."

……

Dayuan.

Kublai Khan played with the golden sword.

Calm eyes.

He knew which was the only time Zhu Di mentioned that the army attacked from the south.

"Later Jin..."

"Humph."

Amid the confusion of his ministers, Kublai Khan slowly closed his eyes.

……

"Emperor Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty: When Genghis Khan attacked Shanhaiguan, he bribed several tribes in front of Shanhaiguan with his daughters and launched an all-out sneak attack on Shanhaiguan."

"The powerful Mongolian army faced the almost vulnerable Jin army and still suffered heavy losses in front of Shanhaiguan."

"No matter how strong human power is, how can it compete with the mighty axe of nature?"

"Finally, Genghis Khan finally realized that it was impossible to break through Shanhaiguan from the front."

"So they took a detour through Zijing Pass and attacked from the south, and finally took Shanhaiguan."

"This is the only time in history that Shanhaiguan was breached, and it was from the back. So abandoning the natural barrier of Shanhaiguan and defending Ningjin was a mistake."

……

Great Sui.

Yang Jian watched with great interest.

But when he saw the three words "Yuan Shizu", he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Why did this person come out to talk?"

"Will he not be able to understand the mystery here?"

Dugu Jialuo listened to the retelling for a long time and asked curiously:

"Who?"

Yang Jian explained Kublai Khan's point of view.

Dugu Jialuo suddenly realized:
"It seems that this Yuan Shizu also has the intention of avenging a grudge that has lasted for ten generations."

Yang Jian's eyes twitched slightly.

"Jin...Later Jin?"

"Can this still be considered?"

Dugu Jialuo rolled her eyes at him.

"Okay, you don't have to count it."

"Don't be afraid of the golden sword prophecy."

"That's a long way off."

Yang Jian was rendered speechless by the powerful counterattack.

Mao Jin Dao...how can I not be afraid?

"Tsk tsk...Emperor Gaozu of Han..."

……

Big man.

Liu Bang closed his eyes and curled his lips.

Lu Zhi ate the cake and said calmly:

"Whose emperor popped up? He made you look so disgusting."

"It can't be Xiang Yu, right? That would be weird."

Liu Bang said casually without even opening his eyes:

"Naigong really would rather see a ghost."

"... Never mind, after all, there is a territory there... Just put up with him!"

Lu Zhi knew which dynasty the emperor was from.

She sighed inwardly.

Unfortunately, I have no chance to go in and see it.

……

Ming Dynasty - Tianqi Period
Zhu Youxiao summarized the words of the emperors on a piece of paper.

I couldn't help but marvel at it while watching it.

"I suddenly realized..."

"There is no need to worry about Liaodong for the time being!"

He folded the paper slightly and fell into deep thought again.

Keeping peace at home and abroad...

I have to clean up the house...

……

Qing Dynasty, Kangxi Period
Kangxi slowly opened his eyes and snorted.

“God helps those who help themselves.”

The problems at the end of the Ming Dynasty were not just border defense issues.

If the internal affairs of the court are not resolved, then all we can do is defend instead of defend.

But if you guard too long, you will lose.

……

[Employing and identifying people: In the sixth year of the Tianqi reign, Yuan Chonghuan submitted a memorial saying that the Later Jin could surrender by building cities and cultivating farmland outside the Great Wall. After receiving the memorial, Tianqi wrote:
"How should we distribute so that the army and the people do not interfere with each other? How should we allocate so that farming and fighting are not neglected? How should we train so that the slack seasons are used as soldiers? How should we rotate the troops so that the soldiers are all farmers? How should we manage the borders so that the troops are not allowed to fight? How should we collect and protect the grain so that it does not provide food for theft? All matters should be carefully handled and reported to the governor.

This book says that if the slave does not surrender, he will be captured, which is something that all the ministers are not happy to hear.

In my opinion, the slaves may not surrender, and their surrender is not credible; we will surely win the battle, and victory is not something to be taken lightly.

Be practical and act when necessary.

It is right, and the wonder lies within it.

It is appropriate to do it with mercy and kindness. "

Tianqi meant to warn Yuan Chonghuan to do practical things honestly and stop playing such brazen tricks.

[At this time, Tianqi was only 21 years old. Although he was in the deep palace, his calmness and pragmatic attitude were superior to Yuan Chonghuan.]

……

Ming Dynasty - Longqing Period
Zhu Zaigui withdrew his gaze and looked at the words on the sky in silence.

"Don't..."

It seems that Yuan Chonghuan never had a long-term vision in terms of grand strategy...

"You are guarding Ning Yuan now...don't do anything weird."

……

Ming Dynasty·Chongzhen period
Zhu Youjian breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought I killed the wrong person again...

He now began to have some hope.

Because one word can wake people up from their dreams!
The Later Jin never wanted Guangning!
They don't even want Ningyuan, Jinzhou, Dalinghhe, Youtun and other places!
Therefore, it was meaningless for Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan to extend the Ningjin Defense Line all the way to Youtun to gain any depth!
No wonder...

Zhu Youjian stood up from the ground and paced back and forth in deep thought.

No wonder one of the conditions for Huang Taiji's peace talks was that the Ming and Jin sides use the Dalingh River and Liaohe River as buffer zones.

From this we can see that the ruling center of the Later Jin Dynasty was only Shenyang and Liaoyang.

Nurhaci moved the capital of the Jin Dynasty from Liaoyang to Shenyang in order to guard against the attack of the Ming army.

That makes sense...

"Yuan Chonghuan has misled me!"

What a waste of money!

……

[In the fourth year of the Tianqi reign, Mao Wenlong, the general of Pidao, reported that the Jurchens might have colluded with the Mongols and entered the country through Xifengkou.]

After receiving the report from Tang, Tianqi gave instructions:
【“It was reported that the chieftain and his trusted traitor Li Maolong and others had been planning day and night to bribe the Western Tartars, change their flags, and use the route to Panjiakou and other places to attack and plot rebellion.】

[I think the intention of the slave chief is not small, even greater than before. If they use the passage to march forward, the harm will be great. Therefore, I am worried about the east.]

[You should tell the Ministry of War to send someone to report to the Prime Minister, the Governor-General, and the town patrol immediately. They should carefully consider the report and decide how to deal with it. What measures should be taken? Make a thorough plan to ensure that everything is safe.]

【All the routes along the way and the soldiers on the Eastern Expedition must be carefully guarded. All the officers guarding the passes must be on guard day and night. They must also carefully interrogate the tribute-paying and attacking barbarians, fearing that there may be spies among them.】

[Also inform the Ministry of Households and Works and the officials in charge of Liaoyang and other departments to verify the truth about the shortage of food and equipment of General Mao, and to allocate ships and equipment to the army as soon as possible. There should be no delay. If there is any delay in military operations, the responsibility will be assigned to the right person. Special order. ”]

[However, Sun Chengzong did not see the seriousness of this report and could not predict the potential danger. Sun Chengzong said:

[“The enemy is cunning and has a steady plan, so he will not do this. I am also afraid that the city gates will think that the enemy is coming from another route, so we can relax our defenses and make a feint to the east and attack in the west.”] [But the facts have proved that in the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji did lead his army into the pass from Xifengkou.]

……

Datang.

Li Shimin suddenly felt relieved.

"From this we can see that Tianqi's views on some military issues are far more mature than those of Jiajing and Wanli."

Empress Chang Sun saw the other side of the matter and said softly:
"This is probably due to his life experience."

"Father's position as crown prince is in jeopardy."

"His own life and property will not be safe."

"And Taichang died a month after ascending the throne, and he was deeply involved in the Red Pill Palace Move."

"Since you live in such a dangerous environment, how can you not grow up in an environment where you are constantly on guard against others?"

"In the early period of Jiajing, my father, the prince, had laid a good foundation."

"And Zhang Juzheng also protected him in the early period of Wanli."

"But this child is just like Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty, helpless..."

Li Shimin looked at Empress Changsun, whose mood suddenly dropped, and immediately understood her sorrow.

He gently clasped the Queen's hand.

"As long as I am here, you and Xiao Sizi will be here too."

“Do Not Worry…”

……

[Tianqi initially placed his hopes on the Donglin Party, hoping that they could help him govern the country, but he soon discovered the characteristics of these people.]

【That is to like to make trouble out of nothing. 】

[Because they were clinging to the three cases that had already been decided by the three emperors.]

[A group of people who are intolerant of others and never criticize themselves, what can they bring to this country? ]

【So Tianqi opened the "Eunuchs' Monopoly" copy. 】

[A rebellious but determined Tianqi Dynasty appears before us. 】

[In order to build the Guanningjin Defense Line, the Liao salary that had been cancelled was collected again. ]

[In order to solve the financial crisis, the commercial tax that had been abolished by Taichang was re-imposed. ]

【The system of eunuchs supervising the army, which had been abolished since the Jiajing period, was revived.】

[The high-pressure policy against speech during the Hongwu reign was put into operation again in the empire.]

[But at this time, the Ming Dynasty had lost any soil for autocracy, and Wei Zhongxian was very selfish. His fight with ministers affected the court and the local areas, and the people of the world suffered.]

【This may be something that Tianqi has never considered. 】

[Evaluation B level, three points]

……

{He was good at employing people and governing the country, the only thing he lacked was the right time, right place, and right people. To be honest, he was much smarter than Jiajing.}
{In the late Jiajing period, he wanted to understand the hearts of the people and make them feel that the two dragons would not meet. Tianqi had always been in control of the direction of the parties within the court.}
{Contrary to popular belief, Tianqi not only cares about military affairs and national affairs, but he is also very kind to the people around him.}
{At that time, Empress Zhang and Zhu Youjian disliked Wei Zhongxian and Keshi, and spoke ill of them in front of Zhu Youxiao many times, so Keshi and Wei Zhongxian always wanted to make trouble for Empress Zhang and Zhu Youjian. However, due to Tianqi's protection, no matter how big the storm Keshi and Wei stirred up, they could stand firm like a dam, so that Keshi and Wei Zhongxian retreated. }
{This person is intelligent, studious, and has an unusual interest in handicrafts. He is particularly concerned about military affairs and border defense, and has his own independent judgment. He is also cool-headed and does not follow the crowd.}
{In some ways, he is not as heartless and disloyal as Wanli.}
{What is even more incredible is that he has a unique way of governing the country.}
{When he found that the civil officials were difficult to control, he used the powerful figure Wei Zhongxian to restrain them.}
{It is obvious that he, like Jiajing, likes to hide behind the scenes and direct everything. Many times, he also likes to turn a blind eye and act as the final arbitrator of major disputes.}
……

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang was as restless as if there was grass under his butt.

"You guys are praising..."

"I'm not used to the praise!"

……

[People's Livelihood and Economy: Nine important border towns spend more than 3.4 million silver a year. ]

[The Ningjin Defense Line costs 4 million silver coins every year. ]

[The huge military expenditure of nearly 7.5 million taels a year naturally had to be solved by apportionment, and this was undoubtedly imposed on the people.]

【At this time, the Ming Dynasty was facing a climate ice age that lasted for seventy years. 】

[This ice age will cause the evaporation of seawater and river water to decrease, which will cause the water content in the air to decrease, and then cause drought. ]

[The consequence of drought is a decrease in food production, the beginning of widespread famine, and an increase in the number of refugees.]

[The court had to provide relief and maintain stability, which made the already tight finances even worse.]

[It is no surprise that mutinies and uprisings occurred.]

[Evaluation C level, 2 points]

……

Great Qin.

Sometimes Ying Zheng just couldn't understand some strange words.

"What is this climate ice age?"

Xiao He frowned.

"Looking at the description, it seems to be a kind of good timing."

“And it’s on top of the cycle of seasons.”

Liu Bang suddenly lowered his voice and said:

"Did you find anything?"

"It seems like the clothes they wear are getting thicker and thicker."

“Summer clothes are so thick.”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they began to think deeply.

……

Yanhan·Lingdi Period
Liu Hong felt something when he read the words "mutiny and uprising".

"When a civil uprising grows bigger and bigger."

“When it can’t be put out no matter what.”

"When it doesn't end with the death of the chief."

"That means the conflicts accumulated in the world have reached an irreversible point."

“It has to be broken down and rebuilt.”

Upon hearing this, all the ministers looked respectful.

"Your Majesty is wise."

……

[Later influence: The worst reputation in Ming history, the last carpenter emperor.]

【The real and final ruler of the Ming Dynasty in history. 】

[Evaluation B level, three points]

【Total score: 15 points】

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Liu Che suddenly said with regret:
"This emperor has no character flaws."

"Although his wrist is a little immature, it is enough."

"What a shame... it's just the wrong time."

"...This is a bit like the Song Dynasty..."

Wei Zifu also felt that the destiny of the Ming Dynasty was indeed strange.

A rare talent like Zhu Qizhen should have appeared at this time.

An emperor like Zhu Youxiao should have appeared during the reign of Renzong and Xuanzong.

"Perhaps, this is the destiny of the Ming Dynasty..."

"Just like Zhu Chongba's life."

“Not as good as I thought.”

……

Ming Dynasty - Tianqi Period
Zhu Youxiao was not happy at all when he saw the evaluation results on the sky screen.

Because he saw a kind of emotion from the performance evaluation and the comments of later generations.

A final care for a dying person.

"My Ming Dynasty has not yet fallen..."

Zhu Youxiao muttered somewhat lacking confidence:

"If I have no offspring, then my younger brother will be the successor..."

"He doesn't look like he's going to lose his country, does he?"

As people were muttering here, the golden light in the sky gradually gathered.

"Gift: Gongshu Ban's Heavenly Craftsmanship"

"Note: The objects that pass through your hands will be given a random bless."

"Note: It's not that the more exquisite the better, but the better it is in line with the Tao."

While Zhu Youxiao was confused, golden light hit his face.
