Chapter 558 Has Your Majesty forgotten us?(1/2)
Wen Tiren waited for a long time but did not wait until the others stood up to pull the Qintian Supervisor, coughing and said, "I think that although the flying snow in May is rare, it may not necessarily be due to any injustice. Most of them are warnings for God?"
The Imperial Heaven Superintendent was overjoyed and was about to agree, but Emperor Chongzhen snorted coldly: "I also know that it was God's unwarranted police, but where did this police come from?"
After standing up from the dragon throne, Emperor Chongzhen simply walked down the imperial stairs: "Severe drought? The earth dragon turned over? The waterlogged? The foreign enemy invaded?"
Emperor Chongzhen, who was paced back and forth in front of his ministers, had the desire to kill.
The three newly selected girls were all waiting for me to come to see each other in the harem, but suddenly such a mess came, how could I not feel bad?
Could it be that God will not let me be happy with these beautiful girls?
Go ahead!
Countless historical experiences tell Emperor Chongzhen that being a good emperor is not just about working hard and loving the people or conquering countless kingdoms.
Many people come to the harem and have more sons, so that there will be no empty throne, which is likely to cause national turmoil. It is also an emperor's responsibility and obligation.
So God warned me that this is definitely not to keep myself away from women, or it may be because I have too few sons.
The emperor who does not open the harem is not an excellent programmer.
But can you say this in the court? You must push this matter to something else, otherwise you will become a foolish monarch who is obsessed with lust.
Just in the next few decades, we will be in the Little Ice Age, and natural disasters are bound to be indispensable. It is better to use this name to find a perfect excuse for your own behavior of accumulating grain.
After walking back and forth for a few steps, Emperor Chongzhen simply continued: "I once said in Nanjing that I should re-establish a reserve warehouse, but I think that just a reserve warehouse is not enough. In addition to the reserve warehouse, we should also set up more permanent positions to close the warehouse. What do you think?"
Wen Tiren breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Since the emperor said so, it means that he did not think about starting a massacre, but planned to expose the matter gently.
As for the reserve warehouse and the Changping warehouse, they are all trivial matters. There is no need to compete with the emperor in such matters. Anyway, they can't resist the willful Emperor Chongzhen.
Not only Wen Tiren, but the ministers in the court all breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as Emperor Chongzhen returned to Beijing, May Flying Snow happened. If the emperor was furious and began to kill, this would be too disgusting.
But unlucky things never come over and even if the matter is over, they will most likely come one by one to cause trouble.
In May, heavy snow had just fallen at Xifengkou, and the unlucky things in June followed, or the June incident verified what Emperor Chongzhen said about the May snow warning.
There were severe droughts in the two capitals, Shandong and Henan, and locust plagues also occurred at the same time.
Although he kept digging wells during the Chongzhen period, he still seemed to be willing but not able to do anything in the face of such severe drought.
The reserve warehouse that Emperor Chongzhen had already implemented in Nanjing had just been emptied by the people who were short of food, which forced Emperor Chongzhen to prepare food for disaster relief again.
In the face of this severe drought involving the two Beijings, Shandong and Henan, even the locust plague became inconspicuous.
As early as a few years after the large-scale hunting of locusts in the past few years, although there were locusts in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, no major locust plague occurred again.
Even the locust plague this time is the same. Although it happened at the same time in Beijing, Shandong, Henan and other places, the scale is not large.
After all, locusts are not only edible, but also tastes pretty good. Even if the locusts actually destroyed some food, more locusts were caught by the people who were anxious and red-eyed and stuffed into their stomachs.
Even the eunuch sent by Emperor Chongzhen to buy locusts was not received.
That's right, it's not that I didn't receive many problems, but that I didn't receive even a locust, which was caught and eaten by the people.
Locusts are not enough to eat - those guys who are thinking about how to raise locusts have not yet studied how to raise this thing, so they can only rely on catching them during locust plagues to eat.
When people generally believe that locusts are good things, they don’t eat enough on their own, so how can they sell them to those dead eunuchs?
In addition, rumors began to circulate in Jiangnan and other places.
When Emperor Chongzhen was in Jiangnan, it was not an exaggeration to say that the weather was good. As soon as Emperor Chongzhen returned to Beijing, so many things happened. What does this mean?
This shows that the True Dragon Emperor travels around the world and receives the kindness of the emperor, so it is naturally a training of wind and rain. After the emperor returns to Beijing, he cannot receive the kindness of rain and dew, and naturally there will be severe drought.
The most important thing is that when Your Majesty was in Nanjing, there were no disasters in other places, which means that Longxing Jiangnan should move the capital to Nanjing.
The best proof is what happened after His Majesty returned to Beijing.
In June, the Qianshihe Mountains and Mountains of Xuanfu were raining and hail, killing forty-eight horses.
In June, Anmin Factory was hit by the earthquake and the city walls and houses were destroyed, and residents were killed or injured.
There is also this severe drought and locust plague, which is enough to explain the problem?
Emperor Chongzhen naturally didn't care much about this kind of rumor.
When I was in Nanjing, the overall environment was good. When I returned to Beijing, I had a drought. This kind of coincidence happened, and it was normal for rumors to appear.
No one wants them to happen, but since it has happened, we should work hard to provide disaster relief. As long as the people can survive, these are nothing.
Especially Java and Manzhebayi have moved the people long ago, and even the food has been collected.
Moreover, the grain collection in these two places is different from the grain collection in the mainland of Ming Dynasty.
The food in the mainland of Ming Dynasty is mostly about two seasons a year. Even if the people themselves have enough food, there is not much left.
However, it is normal for Java and Manzhe Boyi to collect three crops a year. There are some other crops mixed in between, so it is not impossible for four crops a year.
In addition, it is still leaning against the sea and there is no shortage of fish and other things. People can’t finish eating it themselves. What else can I do except sell the rest to the government?
But the officials in Jiangnan felt a lot of pain - even if everything seemed to be fine in the Ming Dynasty, who could guarantee that Emperor Chongzhen would not move the capital suddenly with a thrust in his head?
What if that killer god really wants to move the capital by rumors, will everyone live their lives?
In the autumn of the 10th year of Chongzhen to the summer of Chongzhen, how many officials have already been in the south of the Yangtze River?
Moreover, this matter cannot be written to Emperor Chongzhen in an open manner.
You said, "You are not fooled and planned to move the capital as soon as you are fooled?" You said, "The emperor guards the country's borders?"
Why don’t you let the emperor move the capital to Nuergandus!?
Of course, just think about these words in your heart. As for saying them openly, let’s forget it. After all, no one thinks that they have lived too long and want to die.
The officials in Jiangnan had a headache, and Zheng Zhilong, who had already run to Africa from afar, was also a headache.
The previous military achievements and the discovery of Xinming Island, as well as the discovery of the African continent, Zheng Zhilong was granted the title of Duke of Chen, and was hereditary to three generations and later was relegated to the title.
In addition to several other younger brothers, Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Zhifeng were also named Marquis.
But when Zheng Zhilong, who was so happy that he ran to the African continent with his South China Sea fleet, was about to find out the situation on the African continent, he felt what it felt like.
The one with a long neck is a Kirin? Why is this kind of thing that looks like a dog so fierce? How dare you fight against a lion?
The elephant is not only found in the barbarian countries in Southeast Asia? Why are there also here and there are still everywhere?
There are swamps everywhere? Big snakes that appear from time to time? And this big tree that I don’t know how many people can hold? This damn woods have grown like this for hundreds of years before they can grow into this virtue?
Don’t the barbarians here need to farm?
It was so hot last time I came here, why is it still so hot now? Isn’t there any spring and autumn or winter?
After soaking in the pond and sighing comfortably, Zheng Zhilong asked, "How are the things buried?"
Zheng Zhifeng, who was also soaked in the water, said, "Don't worry, brother, you have already buried it.
Except for the things that Your Majesty gave us from the Yongle period, some of them were buried aside, and the rest were buried randomly. Basically, the places we have discovered have been buried now."
Zheng Zhilong used a ladle to scoop up a full scoop of water and poured it on his head, then wiped his face and said, "Just buried it, this place will be the territory of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times."
Zheng Zhihu also poured water on his head, and then spat, saying, "The territory that has been so hot since ancient times? This damn weather, when will it be a good time to get heavy snow and cool?"
Zheng Zhilong said: "Let's wait. I guess we're about to catch up with the beginning of summer when we come here. It's better to wait a few months to winter."
Zheng Zhihu said: "I want to go to Xinming Island, it's better than being dying here. I can't find a barbarian who can beat me."
Zheng Zhifeng smiled and said, "Speaking of all, there are no barbarians who can beat them, but there are all over the place. The barbarians here run so fast that they can't even catch up with the bullets of the musket!"
After hearing what Zheng Zhifeng said, Zheng Zhihu didn't say anything, Zheng Zhilong's face turned dark: "These damn barbarians can't find any figures as soon as they run away. I don't know how many years it takes to clean it up. Our brothers will throw them in the second half of their lives!"
After nodding, Zheng Zhihu spoke, "That's right, that's it. When will it be like this? I want me to tell you that the guys from the Southern Imperial Army should be brought here to be our brothers."
Zheng Zhifeng shook her head and said, "Don't think about it. The guys from the Southern Imperial Guard are still clearing out the natives and the remaining barbarians there in Luzon. They can't come here before they finish it."
Zheng Zhilong said with some resentment: "Speaking of this, Old Man Nan has picked up a big advantage. Those Dutch barbarians do not say anything, but they surrendered. There are no barbarians left in Batavia, just take over them just by taking over."
Zheng Zhifeng said: "This is fate. Admiral Nan has been living on the sea for a lifetime. When he is old, he finally got through the wise king like His Majesty."
After saying that, Zheng Zhifeng changed the topic again and said with a smile: "I don't know what happened to King Tang and others on Xinming Island? I miss them a little."
Zheng Zhilong said: "What else can it be? Xinming Island is late autumn at this time, and it is about to snow.
There are no barbarians on the island, aren’t these guys hiding in the house waiting for the winter?”
After sneezing, Zhu Youjian wrapped his clothes and muttered: "It's wind blowing again!"
Zhu Cunji smiled and said, "Can it be that the young lady from the Ming Dynasty is thinking of Uncle Wang?"
Zhu Zhuohong also said, "Maybe it was some popular Qing Gong who waited until Uncle Wang went to comb it together, and he was thinking tightly?"
After spitting, Zhu Youjian said, "You two bastards, you can't spit out ivory from your mouth!"
After cursing, Zhu Youjian continued: "The situation on this island is basically done, so you can try to push it inside."
Zhu Changying said: "Uncle Wang said that it is not a solution for us to always lean on the coast. We may say that one day the barbarians will pass by here and have conflicts with us."
Zhu Youjian glanced at his nephew who was much older than him but much less courageous than him, and smiled and said, "The barbarians don't care. They are not afraid of them coming, they are afraid that they won't come."
The problem now is that we are here, but there are no people who have farmed in such a large area, so we are always worried."
