- In the 13th year of Chongzhen's reign, Henan was plagued by drought and locust disasters for several years. The people exchanged their children for food. King Zhu Changxun turned a blind eye and continued to reduce taxes and did not even show basic relief.
When the recruiting troops from all directions passed through Luoyang, the soldiers said angrily: "Luoyang is rich in the palace. Shenzong spent all the wealth in the world to enrich the king, but let us go to war on an empty stomach and die at the hands of thieves. How unfair!"
At that time, Lu Weiqi, the Minister of War in Nanjing of the Ming Dynasty, who was retired at home, went to the palace many times to persuade Prince Fu. He advised him that even if he only planned for himself, he should open the treasury and use some money to support the people. King Fu, like his father, loves money as much as life and refuses to listen.
In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, the end of King Zhu Changxun came.
This year, the bandit leader Li Zicheng stormed Luoyang with heavy troops.
Henan was originally a land of wealth, but with successive years of disasters and the seven vassals of the Ming Dynasty enfeoffing the land, the land was highly concentrated and the poor people were forced to flee.
When Li Zicheng entered Henan, he had only about a thousand soldiers and was weak. Because the Ming Dynasty government imposed taxes, the local people could not bear the oppression of the government and rebelled one after another. The number grew to tens of thousands in a few months. The rogue bandits conquered Yiyang, Yongning, Yanshi, Lingbao, Baofeng and other places in one fell swoop. They were invincible and killed everyone. There were hundreds of people including King Wan'an of the imperial clan and officials from various counties. It was precisely at this time that two "intellectuals" Song Xiance and Zhu Jinxing joined the Li Zicheng bandits, giving this ragtag group a truly clear political direction. Zhu Jinxing was a "juren" who had committed a crime and was demoted, and Song Xiance was a charlatan, both of whom were highly valued. In particular, Song Xiance was the first to present the prophecy of "Eighteen Sons Master Divine Weapon". Li Zicheng was very happy: "The man named Li should be the emperor!"
When rogue bandits attacked and plundered in Henan, their biggest target was naturally Zhu Changxun, King Fu of Luoyang.
The rogue bandits besieged Luoyang, and the commander-in-chief Wang Shaoyu led his troops to defend the city. At this time, King Fu became afraid. He spent thousands of gold to recruit dead soldiers and went out of the city to attack the bandits and won a small victory. But a small victory would not help, not to mention that the defending army had already had second thoughts.
On the 19th day of the first lunar month in the 14th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng led his army to attack Luoyang with a trebuchet. But Luoyang City is extremely strong. The rogue army attacked for a whole day but could not capture it. In the evening, there were hundreds of soldiers in the city galloping on the city wall, and the bandits below the city responded. then. The Ming Dynasty defenders were so angry that they suddenly tied Wang Yinchang, who was commanding the defenders, to the city and prepared to surrender.
Commander-in-Chief Wang Shaoyu heard the news. He hurriedly came to explain. The mutinous soldiers shouted: "The rebels are already under the city, what can you do to us, Commander-in-Chief Wang!" The rebels took action and killed several Ming soldiers who were defending the city. Many people fell into the city out of fright.
Seeing this, the rogue bandits outside the city took advantage of the ants to attack the city. The mutinous Ming army reached out to lead the ladder, and Luoyang fell immediately. Wang Yinchang saw that the situation was not good, turned his horse's head and ran away.
The fat and fat King Fu and his female relatives hid in the secluded Yingen Temple in the suburbs, still trying to survive. His eldest son, Zhu Yousong, had quick feet and escaped from the city.
Others were able to escape, but King Fu did not have this blessing. He weighed three hundred kilograms and had difficulty walking. Soon, he was arrested by rogue bandits. Take him back to the city. Halfway through, he met Lv Weiqi, the Minister of War in Nanjing who had been arrested. Lu Shangshu encouraged him: "The honor is very important, the prince must not humiliate himself!"
After speaking, Lu Shangshu scolded the thieves for being unyielding and dying bravely. King Fu brought a bear bag and met Li Zicheng. He immediately lay down on the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic, beat his head until it turned blue, and begged for his life.
Li Zicheng also laughed. When he saw the three-hundred-jin fat prince kneeling in the hall and crying for mercy, he had an idea and asked his men to tie him up, strip him naked and wash him. He also took two deer from the back garden and killed them. They cooked it together in a giant pot, called the "Fulu Feast", and shared it with the soldiers. There were experts from all walks of life among the bandits. Several soldiers who were former chefs were very excited after hearing the words. They came forward with knives and shaved gently and carefully. They first shaved off all the hair on King Fu's body, then removed his nails and used potion to enema to remove the feces. , after cleaning it inside and out, put it into a big pot and simmer it like a hairy crab. Watch it rolling up and down in the white soup and condiments. The fat and venison are flying together, the soup is the same color as Sichuan peppercorns, and it is finally a meal. Great meal.
Before he died, Zhu Changxun finally understood the meaning of what Ding Yunyi said to him.
That year, Ding Yunyi read Zhu Changxun¡¯s fortune and told Zhu Changxun:
"Yun Yi gave King Fu six words, 'one tripod, two deer'. King Fu, please don't reveal the secret. Please don't ask the meaning of these six words."
Zhu Changxun thought that Ding Yunyi was hinting that he could compete in the Central Plains and become the world leader, but now he finally understood it at the moment before his death.
Ding Yunyi originally hinted there that he and the deer would be burned alive with a big cauldron!
So at the moment when the cauldron was lowered, Zhu Changxun shouted: "Ding Yunyi, you can see your face, I, Zhu Changxun, am convinced of you!"
When Ding Yunyi appeared these three times, the expressions of all the bandits, including Li Zicheng, changed.
Ding Yunyi, Ding Yunyi??I heard this name again!
This person is the nemesis of the rogue bandits and the nightmare of the rogue bandits.
How long has it been since you heard this name? Li Zicheng couldn't remember it clearly, but he would rather fight Luoyang again than hear this name.
But they heard it from Zhu Changxun¡¯s mouth again.
Ding Yunyi, Ding Yunyi!
Li Zicheng suddenly discovered that no matter how many places he conquered or how great his achievements were, as long as Ding Yunyi existed, his nightmare would never go away.
When will Ding Yunyi suddenly appear? Li Zicheng simply couldn't give himself an answer to this question
?¡
The news that King Fu Zhu Changxun was cooked alive also spread to Fujian, and Ding Yunyi was not too surprised by this. Zhu Changxun's death had long been expected by him.
Li Zicheng has risen again, and his power is completely different from the time when he was defeated by him.
Now it¡¯s time to turn all your attention to the Central Plains and border areas.
Last year, not long after Ding Yunyi left Japan, multiple rebellions broke out in Japan, but the scale was not very large and they were quickly put down.
In November of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the largest rebellion broke out in Japan, and the heavily prepared Tiger Guards immediately attacked and launched a large-scale encirclement and suppression with Kyoto as the center.
This is another naked massacre faced by Japan.
The Tiger Guards were not the absolute main force in the massacre. The absolute main force is the newly established "Japanese Army".
Within this Japanese army, Taro Matsumoto was the commander and Akamine Nobu became the deputy commander. The number of troops was initially 20,000. When the order to suppress the rebellion was issued to the "Japanese Army", this force quickly opened its bloody mouth.
For the rebels and their collaborators, the "Japanese Army" showed no sympathy for their compatriots, and they and the Tiger Guards armed them with muskets. He slaughtered every Japanese he could see.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????]
This counterinsurgency will begin in November. There has never been an exact number of deaths in the rebellion, which ended in late December.
Some people estimate it to be tens of thousands, while others put forward a horrifying figure of hundreds of thousands.
No matter which number is correct. In short, a large number of Japanese died in this rebellion.
But the suppression is far from over. Japanese governor Su Yang Qiuyuan has made up his mind to use this opportunity to put down all hidden threats in one fell swoop
Japan¡¯s governance is in full swing, and the expedition fleets of Malacca and Batavia have also entered into fierce battles.
Hongyi and Folangjiren will never give up everything they have.
Fierce battles at sea were held several times in a row. Relying on advanced warships and superior artillery power, the Huben Guard Navy commanded by Cai Jiuzhou and Zhang Xianxuan achieved several beautiful victories.
Subsequently, Hongyi and Folangji launched a counterattack, and the battle continued.
As for Fujian, a steady stream of supplies is doing its best to support the two expedition fleets. The expedition fleet that received supplies also launched the craziest attack in kind.
By the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, the control of sea power had gradually fallen into the hands of Huben Guards. After losing control of the sea, the Taisi people in Malacca and Batavia gradually fell into passivity.
Victories against Malacca and Batavia are already expected!
Luzon, Siam, and Burma, places that the Tiger Guards had conquered, seemed relatively peaceful, and the people in these places were even more obedient. Even more resigned. They seem content to live like this.
"Resistance will come sooner or later. The question is when it will happen." Ding Yunyi understood clearly in his heart: "It is conceivable that when the day of resistance finally arrives, we have got what we want. I have no idea about the desolate land. Too much interest.¡±
This is the truest thought in Ding Yunyi's heart.
Now, everything is under his control.
The governance of Fujian is also proceeding in an orderly manner under his leadership. Nothing could harm the established goal in his heart.
Because of successive years of disasters. A large number of people have been displaced, and Ding Yunyi's previous large-scale immigration policy has made places like Fujian and Taiwan a paradise in the minds of all refugees.
The promised land? Yes, this is indeed what is left of the Ming DynastyMuch paradise.
All kinds of new things are blooming everywhere in Fujian, such as factories, military academies, and new schools. This is a place that is incompatible with the Ming Dynasty.
Living and working in peace and contentment is actually the lowest requirement for ordinary people. They do not expect to be rich and wealthy, they only hope to fill the stomachs of a family of all ages.
¡°Other places cannot fulfill their wish, but they can in Fujian.
Not only in terms of people¡¯s livelihood, but also in politics, Ding Yunyi also started a series of actions, such as the establishment of a new cabinet system.
This cabinet is called the "Ding Yunyi Cabinet", or the "Hu Benwei Cabinet". The chief assistant of this cabinet is called the "speaker", and the cabinet members are called parliamentarians. Qin Yun serves as the cabinet speaker.
The resolution made by the cabinet will be implemented immediately after it is signed by Wu Liehou Dingyun Yi and takes effect. At the same time, the cabinet also has its own veto power on the proposals proposed by Ding Yunyi.
The reason why there is a certain veto power is entirely because Ding Yunyi does not want to take too big a step, and everything must be done step by step.
The re-improvement and establishment of the cabinet system is a completely new attempt by Ding Yunyi, not just for himself, but for the future of the entire nation.
It is allowed to argue, to put forward different opinions, and even to question Ding Yunyi¡¯s opinions in person.
The first cabinet meeting was held in February of the 14th year of Chongzhen, not long after the death of King Fu Zhu Changxun. At this cabinet meeting, the first person to speak was Speaker Qin Yun.
Obviously, Qin Yun has not fully adapted to his identity, but he is also working hard to adjust:
"Due to the loss of Luzon Island, the Ganxi people in Mexico have stopped trading with us and regard us as a hostile country. Sun Xiyu and others are currently evacuating and are expected to return to Fujian next month."
"The Ganrasi people are so rampant, can we organize another expedition fleet to attack them?" Councilor Xu Yuqing, inspired by the joy of successive huge victories, said loudly.
Ding Yunyi laughed involuntarily. Xu Yuqing is considered a good old man, but under the impact of victory, he actually took the initiative to propose an expedition.
But he decided not to express his opinions for the time being. This was a cabinet meeting and he was just a spectator.
"No." Ou Jue, who was also promoted to a member of the parliament, said loudly: "Currently, we have two fleets of Huben Guards on the expedition. The war between Malacca and Batavia is going on at the same time. Although we rely on the colonial power There are no financial problems, but reorganizing a new expedition fleet will inevitably put a huge burden on Fujian's finances. "
Song Xianji is completely on the side of the European finals: "I mean the same thing. Mexico is very far away from us, which can be seen from the long-distance trade fleet. In addition to the huge cost of a hasty expedition, the victory or defeat is unknown. If we fail, it will deal the heaviest blow to our military morale. In fact, our trade with Mexico is nothing more than money! Now that we have the support of so many colonies, if the expedition fleet can gain access to Malacca and Batavia again. If we win, then the economic issues can be guaranteed to the greatest extent, and the importance of the long-distance trade fleet can be reduced a lot. Therefore, my opinion is that under the current circumstances, we should focus on the matters in front of us."
¡°In fact, many people know what the ¡°things before us¡± he refers to are very clear.
Domestic!
Ding Yunyi has told his subordinates more than once that their main focus now is not on war, but on preparing for the biggest war to come.
Ding Yunyi also agrees with Song Xianji and Ou Jue's opinions. The Spanish issue can be put aside for the time being and let the Thais consume their own strength first.
Once the domestic problems are resolved, I will soon set my sights on Europe and the West. Of course, many things may not necessarily be solved by war.
The world is so big that I can¡¯t conquer it all.
What you have to do is how to make this country strong, advanced, and prosperous. The increase in national power will make your country a superpower to the greatest extent!
