This prevented him from warming up in the weather of more than ten degrees below zero. I'm afraid he would lose several years of life! ! !

At this time, the Ming army was eating and sleeping outside, full of resentment.

Although they didn't say anything, they were full of anger when they looked at the tents of the emperor and ministers halfway up the mountain.

Good guy, let them go to the north, but they came to the north and froze to death.

On the other hand, the dog emperor and ministers all lived in warm tents, and there were orderlies waiting for them.

"Daniu, Erhu, there is a saying, I don't know if I should say it or not."

said a soldier.

"What are you talking about? Say it, we will support you, you are our boss."

Daniel said.

"Ah."

Erhu also nodded.

"I think Daming's life is really exhausted."

The soldier let out a long sigh after saying this.

Moreover, he didn't deliberately lower his voice, but said it out loud so that the corporal next to him could hear it too.

The corps leader frowned, and in the end, he didn't say anything.

"Look at our emperor, he enjoys himself, he doesn't care about the life and death of our brothers, he eats fish and meat every day."

"As for us, if we don't enter the tent, we will freeze to death."

said the soldier.

"That's right. I heard that Hou Jin is going to join forces with Yuan Chonghuan. I guess our little lives have to be lost here."

The corporal actually joined the discussion.

"Then what should we do? Why don't we?"

said the soldier.

Not only here, but also in other places, some soldiers are complaining.

They have great grievances against the princes and ministers.

Because they were ordinary farmers before they joined the army, and they were often bullied by corrupt officials.

When it came time to fight, they, the oppressed people, rushed to the front line with weapons.

This is true for soldiers, let alone civilian husbands.

They are completely coolies, pushing grain carts weighing several hundred kilograms on the mountain roads, and they may even encounter wolves.

"Boss, stop talking, look, the emperor seems to have come out."

......

Zhu Youjian stood halfway up the mountain with all the civil and military generals. At the same time, he also took off his leather clothes and wore the same clothes as the soldiers.

"What the hell is he going to do?"

Na Wu said.

"Hmph! I think they are drawing cakes for us again, trying to boost our morale."

Daniel said.

"I'm tired of hearing it. Instead of talking so much empty talk, it's better to improve our conditions."

"At least, get each of us a leather jacket, or we'll freeze to death."

At this time, Zhu Youjian finally spoke.

"Soldiers, my Ming soldiers."

"I have decided that starting today, I will share joys and sorrows with everyone, not only me."

"There are also all the ministers, generals, who eat and live with the soldiers, and share the joys and sorrows."

Zhu Youjian said loudly.

He originally thought,

However, the soldiers had already huddled together in the cold, just looking at him with cold eyes.

"Tear down the tent and distribute it to all the soldiers. We must be fair and just."

Chapter 386

Two watch dragons hanging on his nose

Immediately, dozens of tents on the mountainside were demolished.

It can't be his emperor's tent, even the minister's tent and the general's tent have all been dismantled.

"Your Majesty, can these tents be thrown away?"

Zhu Yu asked.

"It can't be lost. Take it to the foot of the mountain to see which other soldiers don't have tents, and set them up for them."

Zhu Youjian said.

Immediately, a group of Jinyiwei brought their tents to the foot of the mountain and began to set up tents at the foot of the mountain.

"Your Majesty, what about you? You can't live with soldiers, can you?"

Zhu Yu asked.

"That's right, I won't live with the soldiers."

"As the emperor of Ming Dynasty, you have to endure what ordinary people can't bear."

"So I figured it out. From today onwards, I'll rest in the open air. I don't need a tent. I just need to light a fire."

Zhu Youjian said.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not, you are a body of gold."

A group of ministers knelt down again.

Zhu Youjian narrowed his eyes and looked at these corrupt officials with malicious intent.

"Not only me, but all generals above rank five are resting in the open fire."

"You usually eat well, drink well, and your body can withstand the wind and cold."

"But ordinary soldiers, they usually don't eat well, sleep well, and their bodies can't bear it at all."

"What's more, as a general, you must have the spirit of taking the lead to endure hardships, and you must not just talk about it."

Zhu Youjian said loudly.

Whoa!

At the foot of the mountain, the Ming army kneeled on the ground.

"Your Majesty is holy, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

The Ming army's voice was orderly, and the snow on the top of the mountain trembled and fell.

"Soldiers, I promise that as long as we can win the battle this time, after returning, all soldiers will die."

"Including your family members, you will be exempted from taxes for ten years, and each will be given a medal."

Zhu Youjian strikes while the iron is hot, and wants to fully boost morale.

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

The soldiers cheered again.

They don't care about medals or not, the important thing is tax exemption for ten years! ! !

In ten years, they can store grain for at least 20 years, and they will be rich peasants by then.

Because at the end of the Ming Dynasty, due to the serious corruption of officials at all levels, farmers' taxes increased again and again.

In the later period, when farmers produced ten shi of grain, they had to pay eight shi of tax.

The remaining two shi, they endured hunger to eat until tomorrow's autumn harvest.

If the slightest accident happened, they risked starving to death.

No, natural disasters in the last four years of the Ming Dynasty became the last straw that overwhelmed the farmers.

In the first year, they could only ask the landlord to borrow food to survive, but this broke the balance.

It means that they will be in debt for life.

In the second year, the landlord came to collect the principal and interest, and the peasants had no money, so the landlord took back their fields.

In the third year, there was a natural disaster, not only farmers, but also some small landlords could not survive.

Therefore, the landlord took back the peasants' houses, wives and daughters, and took them to the pawn shop for money.

Because it was a natural disaster year, one wife, one daughter, one bucket of rice, it can be seen how cheap it is.

Finally, in the fourth year, the peasants starved to death.

Thus, the peasant uprising broke out.

Zhu Youjian was very satisfied watching the soldiers' reactions.

"Notify the people in the kitchen to let them cook cattle and slaughter sheep tonight, so that the soldiers can have a good meal."

Zhu Youjian said.

Because, he has already made preparations to feed the soldiers tonight and transfer the camp tomorrow.

In the middle of the camp, landmines had been planted long ago. If the Qing army came to follow them again, they would definitely be blown upside down.

Soon at night, the soldiers danced around the fire, holding beef and mutton, and corn porridge.
