Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

Chapter 99 A distress order in the late Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 99 A distress order in the late Ming Dynasty!
"With our modern rescue capabilities, the damage is still so serious. Uncle, you can imagine how great the impact of the magnitude 8 earthquake in the Weihe River Basin north of the Qinling Mountains in the Ming Dynasty in December of the 35th year of Jiajing. "

"On a winter night, even if some people were lucky enough not to die in the earthquake, they eventually froze to death and starved to death. At the same time, rumors spread, the world was in chaos, and people were in dire straits."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face also darkened. As an emperor, he knew the impact of this disaster, which had already dealt a fatal blow to the entire Ming Dynasty.

Coupled with the rumors, the throne will also be shaken.

Under the rule of imperial power, the emperor was "ordered by heaven". However, if a natural disaster occurred, all the people would immediately think of the emperor, whether it was because the emperor was unvirtuous and God sent punishment.

"So I say, uncle, your dynasty linked the imperial power with God's will. There are indeed benefits, and it is conducive to a certain degree of rule. However, when disasters occur, the disadvantages will become obvious."

Xiao Ran spread his hands and said: "Now natural disasters and politics are also linked to each other. So I personally think that there is something to give."

"Just like us now, droughts or floods have never stopped. Muds and rockslides and the like occur in various places every year. However, due to the popularization of science and timely response measures, most people can deal with them head-on. view these things.”

Xiao Ran's words put a hook in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

I started to waver, should I still insist on the divine right of kings? Are sometimes natural disasters really punishments from God?

But judging from the fact that he was able to join the Super Dimension Company, as well as the so-called science, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know which one to believe.

Xiao Ran may have noticed his confusion, and comforted Zhu Yuanzhang: "Uncle, actually you don't need to think so much. We don't have a super time company now. Since we can already know many things in advance, that's There is a chance to change, but the rest is beyond our power.”

In fact, who has not thought about changing history or changing the past?

It's just that there is no chance for these.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's face in front of him with a heavy expression, Xiao Ran asked: "There are still others left. Do you still listen to me?"

"Keep talking." Zhu Yuanzhang said this through gritted teeth.

"Okay, then I'll talk about it slowly bit by bit." Xiao Ran adjusted the order, "Actually, the Ming Dynasty was not lucky. The middle of the Ming Dynasty actually reached the Little Ice Age, and the temperature dropped sharply at that time, so the Qi of the Ming Dynasty varied with the times. It will be consumed by this cooling."

Realizing that what he said had hit Zhu Yuanzhang a bit hard, Xiao Ran touched his nose and poured him a cup of tea.

"Uncle, let's sit down and talk calmly. In fact, the weather has a great impact on people's livelihood. Because the Ming Dynasty happened to meet the Little Ice Age, the cooling lasted for a long time and did not end until the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. .”

"The climate changes during the Little Ice Age were very large, which resulted in severe droughts and floods occurring at the same time in the summer, and extremely cold winters. However, the foundation of a dynasty is farming. If agriculture fails, food cannot be grown. , the people will have no way to survive."

"In fact, it was also bad weather that had a serious impact on agriculture. Grain production dropped sharply, famine broke out in various places, and northern nomads frequently went south in order to survive. As a result, large-scale wars and famines destroyed the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed deeply and said to Xiao Ran: "So, isn't there a solution?"

"If it were placed in our modern times, although this problem would have a great impact on the economy and people's livelihood, it would not be a fatal blow. Because our technology can strengthen river embankments, and we have already established them many years ago. Reservoir and cooperate with flood discharge."

"As for drought, although the cost of artificial rainfall is relatively high, if it is needed, our country will still do it, and we also have some automated watering equipment, and water can also be transported through pipelines."

"The most prominent one is the South-to-North Water Diversion Movement. This can be said to be a water diversion movement that spans more than half of the country, but it was still completed after spending a lot of manpower and material resources."

"It can be said that it takes a while, but the work will be done in the future."

"No matter how bad things are, we actually still have grain production bases and granaries, as well as cold storages that store a lot of meat. So, as long as it's not a nationwide disaster, or everything happens at once, the impact on us will still be small. As for the seriously injured ones.”

Xiao Ran was a little proud when he said this, but Zhu Yuanzhang felt sad when he heard it.

A man's eyes were actually a little moist, with some tears.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say a word. Xiao Ran knew that he wanted to say it but couldn't.

Suddenly, Xiao Ran felt mixed feelings in his heart.

In fact, when he was a migrant worker, he scolded him every day for low wages and high prices.

There are so many rich people in the world, why can't there be one more like me?
There are also always disputes in real estate, and capitalist bosses are still trying to make a big deal out of PUA every day, wandering around the bottom line of the law.

But now seeing Zhu Yuanzhang like this, he suddenly remembered the past, and Xiao Ran was slightly silent for a moment.

In fact, the life we live now has been achieved through countless efforts of generations of predecessors. Even though it is somewhat imperfect, it still gives ordinary people a way to survive.

Compared with feudal society, it is much better.

It’s just that if you want a better future, you have to continue to fight.

"Xiao Ran, we have something to do. I wonder if we can bring back the technology for flood control and locust control."

Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh. He had just made a calculation in his mind. Other techniques could not be achieved with the power of the Ming Dynasty. These two items were the least expensive to learn.

"That's no problem. I'll go find some information for you later. There's also a library. I'll take you there to see if there's anything else useful."

Xiao Ran agreed: "As for the rest of the matter, I will continue to talk to you, uncle."

"There was another big explosion. On the sixth day of May in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, an explosion occurred near the gunpowder depot of Wanggong Factory in Beijing. The explosion area spread to 2.25 square kilometers, and the death toll was as high as . The scene was very tragic, but this incident It happened very strangely, and the cause has never been found out.”

"The power of this explosion was equivalent to a TNT explosion with an equivalent of 20,000 tons, and it also had a great impact on the economy."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened: "Did the Ming Dynasty's gunpowder magazine explode?"

Xiao Ran nodded: "Yes, in addition to the huge sound and black smoke, there are two very strange things about this explosion. One is that all the corpses are naked and weird, and the other is that there is no burning in such a big explosion. trace."

"Because these problems cannot be explained, the Apocalypse Big Bang, the Death Hill Incident in India, and the Tunguska Explosion in Siberia, Russia are collectively regarded as the world's three natural disaster mysteries."

"But I personally think this is man-made, but there is no evidence."

"Another thing is that in the sixth year of Chongzhen, the plague broke out in Shanxi. Shanxi had suffered many disasters before, and the people could not even fill their stomachs, let alone money for medical treatment."

"Because the plague could not be controlled and spread everywhere with Li Zicheng and the Qing army, the plague became increasingly rampant and finally reached Beijing."

"The death toll in Beijing is as high as one-fifth, and people are living in fear."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt strange: "There was no reason for the big explosion before, so why is the plague this time?"

"According to our later research, the plague was caused by ecological damage caused by abnormal climate, which was also accompanied by drought and famine."

"It can only be said that when people are unlucky, their teeth will be choked when they drink cold water, and the same is true for a country. This situation formed an endless cycle of drought, famine, and plague. The Ming Dynasty was in a state of collapse and never recovered."

"It's easy to solve just one or two of the problems, but now that these three problems come together, it's not easy to solve."

"Why are there so many natural disasters in our Ming Dynasty? Or is it the same in the dynasties after the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Ran looked at him with a bit of sympathy in his eyes. "Uncle, let me tell the truth. Although there have been natural disasters in all dynasties, the Ming Dynasty suffered the most natural disasters, and the disasters were very serious. It is very strange for so many disasters to occur at the same time. For the backward feudal dynasty, It is undoubtedly a catastrophe.”

"There is a word called natural disasters and man-made disasters. The frequent occurrence of natural disasters also leads to the intensification of man-made disasters."

"During the Ming Dynasty, peasant uprisings broke out in various places due to natural disasters. At the same time, in the northeast, they encountered a once-in-a-century fierce man like Nurhachi, so the Ming Dynasty fell into disrepair."

"Nurhachi?"

"The founder of the Qing Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Xiao Ran asked and answered, and they already had the answer.

It just takes a certain amount of time for Zhu Yuanzhang to digest these things.

Xiao Ran put himself in his shoes and thought for a moment. If this happened to him, if anyone told him that the company he had worked so hard to create and was doing so well suddenly collapsed due to a bad environment and man-made disasters, it would really be true. Can't accept it.

But now the words of comfort seem a little weak.

Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xiao Ran's jade stones lit up violently.

【Urgent task! 】

[Customer: Zhu Youxiao]

[Time: The sixth day of May, the sixth year of Tianqi, 1626 AD]

[Customer demand: Explosion! Terrible explosion! 】

[Remuneration: one thousand taels of gold]

"Let's go there quickly!" Zhu Yuanzhang took the lead in clicking to accept the task, and then took Xiao Ran's hand and rushed over there.

"No, just wait, it's going to explode. We haven't taken any protective measures yet."

Xiao Ran's head felt numb all of a sudden. Wasn't this just a big explosion at Gongwang Factory?
If we just rush over like this now, wouldn't we be courting death?

Boom! ! !
The deafening explosion made Xiao Ran's ears ring, and Zhu Yuanzhang at his age couldn't even bear it.

There was a loud noise from the northeast of the capital, a huge fireball rolled in the sky, and a huge mushroom cloud with ganoderma-like cloud pillars stood in the sky.

"My luck won't be so bad! I just happened to hit the Apocalypse Explosion event, which is one of the three mysteries of nature in the world?!" Xiao Ran was in despair. He couldn't solve any task easily before, but now... Fortunately, it has become a high-risk industry. Whether or not you will be alive later is one thing.

"Uncle, no, let's teleport back first!" Xiao Ran urged Zhu Yuanzhang anxiously.

He pulled him to leave, but Zhu Yuanzhang stood still, motionless.

"Uncle, what are you thinking about? Are you still not leaving?"

"This is our country, our people. We are so far away from the explosion, are we still afraid of death?"

Xiao Ran was slightly stunned.

But some people just work for a while, and everything is over.

The two people's eyes suddenly went dark, and they couldn't see their fingers.

When we saw clearly again, more than ten thousand houses were suddenly turned into rubble. Even the cattle, horses, chickens and dogs could not escape death. Those who survived were all disheveled and in a miserable state.

At this time, everywhere in Beijing was not peaceful.

In the palace.

Mingxi Zong Zhu Youxiao was so frightened that he ran out of the palace desperately and ran all the way to Jiaotai Hall.

Seeing a table in front of him, he quickly got under it and took a breath.

Zhu Youxiao kept chanting: "I can't die yet, I can't die yet. I am the True Dragon Emperor, and God will definitely bless me!"

At this time, not only Emperor Xizong but also many officials in the entire capital suffered bad luck at the same time.

Just at that moment of explosion, Censor He Tingshu and Pan Yunyi were killed in their homes. All the elderly and children of the two families were buried underground.

Xuanfu.

General Yang and his other men disappeared without a trace on the street after making a loud noise.

Xiao Ran wiped the ashes from his face. After a while, the ringing in his ears got better. Then he saw that many big trees had been uprooted, and the five thousand kilogram stone lions had disappeared without a trace.

But the next moment, he turned his head and almost vomited in disgust.

The entire Chang'an Street was like a purgatory on earth, with many heads falling from the sky.

There were also various broken limbs and broken arms falling from the sky.

It was overwhelming as if it were raining.

Many more fell on Xiao Ran's body and arms.

"vomit!"

This time, he really couldn't bear it anymore.

Living in peacetime, where have you seen this scene?

Even if it is included in the movie, it is just coded and passed over.

But now it was really real before me. The strong smell of gunpowder explosion and blood, as well as the smell of roasted meat filled the air.

Some people were killed, but some had their limbs shattered by the aftermath of the explosion.

The strong explosion shock wave is also extremely powerful.
