Hongzhi was actually quite wealthy.
However, the wealth in this wasn't the abundance of the national treasury.
It was the wealth of the gentry.
When Zhu Houzhao was still the crown prince, he had a deep understanding of this.
And the reason why the Hongzhi Dynasty was ranked so low.
According to Zhu Houzhao's idea.
It should be because the Dynasty Rankings were more inclined to the wealth, military, culture, and other national powers that the emperor could mobilize.
Instead of focusing on the gentry class.
Otherwise, the Hongzhi Dynasty would not have pulled such a stunt.
The Hongzhi Dynasty's national strength exhibition ended. The overall score of the dynasty was: 49 points!
49 points.
Compared to the Jiajing Dynasty, it was only two points away!
"Jiajing, Hongzhi."
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said.
"Great Ancestor."
"After we return this time, the two of you must correct your mistakes and be good emperors. Don't lower the spirit of my Zhu family.”
"Definitely!"
Hongzhi and Jiajing both nodded their heads seriously.
Since they knew what they should do next, they naturally would not continue to sink into it.
Sixth place in the selection
The selection process was completed!
Sixth place: Chongzhen Dynasty!
The ranking text appeared in the sky again.
This sixth place was naturally indisputable. After all, the Chongzhen Dynasty was the last dynasty.
"Houzhao, how many years has it been from the Jiajing Dynasty to the Chongzhen Dynasty?”
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of something and asked.
"About a hundred years."
Zhu Houzhao pondered for a moment.
After all, after Jiajing, there was still Wanli.
That was the one who had the longest life among the emperors of Ming Dynasty.
"A hundred years."
Zhu Yuanzhang's brows gradually relaxed and he nodded slightly.
Originally, when he saw how dispirited Jiajing was, he thought that Da Ming would not be able to hold on for long.
But now, it seemed like he was the only one left.
After Jiajing, there should still be emperors who worked hard to govern.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not the only one who heard this.
Jiajing also heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, if he had a part in Chongzhen's demise, he would probably have to suffer a beating later.
Should they display their national strength?
"Show!"
Chong Zhen was already eager to try.
When he first came in, he wanted to show his three ancestors his recent achievements.
However, he never had the chance to speak.
Now it was finally his turn!
"Great Ancestor, Great Ancestor, Great Grandfather, just watch.”
"In these three months, my Chongzhen Dynasty has changed completely!”
He looked at Chongzhen's confident appearance.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also interested.
"Alright, then let's take a good look.”
In fact, ever since he taught Chongzhen the last time, he did not have much expectations for the Chongzhen Dynasty.
After all, he wanted to govern a country.
From Zhu Houzhao and Jiajing, it was obvious that it was not that simple.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Chongzhen was a very stupid person.
It was miles away from his own standard.
Therefore, in just three short months, it was really hard for him to imagine how much the Chongzhen Dynasty would change.
The scene in the sky slowly began to unfold.
Tianqi 7th year, 8th month, 22nd day, Shen Shi, Zhu Youxiao passed away in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. As Zhu Youxiao's only younger brother, you will inherit the throne according to the clan system.
After ascending the throne, the first thing you did was to get rid of the eunuch Wei Zhongxian. His power was so great that he could even force you to bring your own medical supplies into the palace. You knew very well that if you didn't get rid of Wei Zhongxian, the Ming Dynasty would be in danger!
You, who had read a lot of scriptures and history books, quickly came up with a plan to eliminate the traitors…
I'm afraid I'll have to deal with Chongzhen.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di had already heard about it from Chongzhen in the previous chat group.
Therefore, he was not surprised when he saw the scene in the sky.
However, for Jiajing and Hongzhi, it was rather novel.
After all, Chongzhen was the last emperor of Ming Dynasty.
They were also curious about Chongzhen.
After successfully getting rid of Wei Zhongxian, you finally let out a sigh of relief and became even more excited.
Next, you prepare to revive the Ming Dynasty
In the first year of Chongzhen, you exhorted the ministers, saying that after the collapse of the eunuch party and the return of their duties to the various departments, the ministers must be loyal to their duties, wash away their long-standing abuses, and take "saving money for the country and choosing officials for the people" as the main point. At the same time,"all memorials related to national plans must follow the established laws of my ancestors and must not be changed."
In the same year, in order to recover Liaodong, which was occupied by the Later Jin Dynasty, you handed this important task to the original Liaodong governor Yuan Chonghuan, who had successively won the Ningyuan victory and the Ningjin victory at the end of the Tianqi era. He also promised you that he would pacify Liaodong in five years! You were greatly excited and bestowed him with the imperial sword, allowing him to act first and report later.
In the second year of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, the commander of Dongjiang River, in Shuangdao, and then pleaded guilty. You instantly felt furious. The imperial sword was only given to you to make it easier for Yuan Chonghuan to do things, but was this person really so arrogant?
However, Mao Wenlong is already dead and cannot be revived. You still have hope for Yuan Chonghuan's "Five Years of Peace", so you can only not blame him and instead praise him.
But you didn't expect the consequences to come so quickly.
In late October of the same year, due to the death of Mao Wenlong, during the period of the Eastern Island's regional defense, the Later Jin Khan, Huang Taiji, decisively decided to turn around and attack the Ming Dynasty on the way to the Western Expedition of Mongolia. He divided his troops into three routes to break through the Great Wall Pass such as Da 'ankou. Yuan Chonghuan led the Guanning Army from Ningyuan to defend Jizhou Town, but also failed to block it. The Later Jin Army arrived at the Ming Capital on November 20.
Even though you managed to defeat the Hou Jin soldiers, your trust in Yuan Chonghuan plummeted.
From then on, in August of the third year of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan kept asking for money and food. You supported him as much as possible, but you found that the loophole left by Yuan Chonghuan after Mao Wenlong was killed by Yuan Chonghuan could not be filled. The Later Jin invaded Ming Dynasty like entering the back garden.
In addition, I often hear people talking about Yuan Chonghuan's connection with Houjin.
In the end, you decided to execute him by a thousand cuts!
"Could Yuan Chonghuan be a spy from Houjin?”
Seeing this, Jiajing and Hongzhi were also stunned.
Although they did not know much about military affairs.
However, a general who had won two great victories would actually commit the crime of killing a general of another defense line.
Wasn't this a little too much?
"This person isn't a spy from Houjin."
"I only found out later that this person was just arrogant and conceited.”
Did Yuan Chonghuan have the ability?
There was no doubt about it, otherwise, it would not have been reactivated.
However, this character flaw was also very obvious.
Although Mao Wenlong was a little disobedient, he could still ensure that the area was impregnable.
However, Yuan Chonghuan had killed him directly.
How could he not be furious?
Most importantly…
So what if he was killed?
Take care of the follow-up.
He actually let Hou Jin take advantage of the loophole and directly attack the capital!
The north of the Great Ming Capital had become Huang Taiji's backyard!
Did he not care about his reputation?
