NOVEL WEB Chapter 10
10: Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and wanted to kill Zhu Youjian with a sword
“The Nanchang Massacre: The Qing Dynasty slaughtered more than 200,000 people……The people in the city were slaughtered”
“The Massacre of Chaozhou – After the Qing Dynasty’s Jingnan General Kakamu captured Chaozhou Prefecture, he also carried out an inhumane massacre, killing more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians.”
“The Massacre of Datong – a large-scale massacre carried out by Dorgon, Ajige, Nikan, Bolo, Shuose and others in Datong Prefecture, Shanxi, Shuozhou, Hunyuan County and other places in the Qing Dynasty. The number of people killed in this massacre is unknown, but nine out of ten houses in Datong, Shaanxi and other places were empty!”
“Enter Sichuan and slaughter Shu……”
Zhu Gaoxun remembered the crimes committed by Man Qing very clearly. When he said this, he snorted coldly:
“After Manqing entered Sichuan, the people of Shu suffered a great disaster, with almost all of them dead or injured, and only one or two out of a thousand survived.”
“The most shameless thing is that the Qing Dynasty put the blame for the massacre on Zhang Xianzhong.”
“Although the latter was an insurgent army, Shu was their base, so how could they have caused a large-scale massacre there? After entering Sichuan, the Man Qing army killed people wantonly, causing the plague to spread.”
“Finally, during the Qing Dynasty, they had to carry out the”filling Sichuan with people from Huguang” policy, moving people from Huguang and other places to Sichuan…….Because the people here have all been killed!”
“During the migration, there were even wild beasts lurking on the walls of Chengdu, which was hilarious.”
Having said this, the Huagai Palace fell into a long silence, and a strange and depressing atmosphere began to permeate the palace.
These cities, these numbers, are all bloody narrations!
Behind the cold numbers is the tragedy of the people of the Ming Dynasty who are in dire straits and inhumane.
Although Zhu Youjian developed a suspicious and self-willed character, he was always concerned about the Ming Dynasty in his heart.
Now, after hearing the tragic events that Zhu Gaoxun said, his emotions were completely unbearable, and he collapsed to the ground, kowtowed to the other three people, and cried bitterly.
“The incompetence of the unworthy descendants caused the people of the Ming Dynasty to suffer such a disaster, which was a heinous crime…….”
Zhu Youjian knocked his head so hard that his scalp was broken, but he seemed not to feel it and kept knocking his head:”Youjian……I am ashamed of the people of the Ming Dynasty, ashamed of the royal family, and my grandchildren are unfilial. Please punish me, Taizu, Chengzu, and Tianchengzu!”
Zhu Youjian’s emotional breakdown was unexpected by Zhu Gaoxun.
Again, in Zhu Gaoxun’s view, Zhu Youjian’s character is definitely not bad, and he also sets an example and really wants to revive the Ming Dynasty.
But unfortunately – he is not capable enough.
This evaluation alone is enough to explain why Zhu Youjian allowed the Chongzhen Dynasty to deteriorate quickly.
To put it bluntly, no matter how corrupt the situation in the Ming Dynasty was, it was not something that the Qing Tartars could touch!
The demise of the Ming Dynasty was more due to internal factors than external factors. The party struggle was at its peak, but Zhu Youjian, a prince who had never learned the methods of an emperor, came to power – he would become suspicious and self-willed.
From Zhu Youjian’s crying just now From the information revealed in his tears, we know that this emperor of the last years of the Ming Dynasty never thought about the people of the Ming Dynasty from beginning to end.
Zhu Youjian only realized his tears after Zhu Gaoxun told him about the bloody massacres.
It can only be said that Zhu Youjian was unlucky to encounter the last years of the Ming Dynasty.
If it were a stable period, this man would be more than enough to be a king who maintained the status quo.
Zhu Gaoxun did not mean to feel sorry for Zhu Youjian. Although the demise of the Ming Dynasty was mostly due to problems that had accumulated over the years, it was a sign of the collapse of the building.
However, many of Zhu Youjian’s decisions during his governance more or less became accomplices in the demise of the Ming Dynasty – accelerating the process of the Ming Dynasty’s demise.
“You kid……”Zhu Yuanzhang pondered and paced, then stopped in front of Zhu Youjian, and said angrily:”Look at your pretentious manner, I know you are sitting on the throne as if you are blind!”
“People are the most important, the country is second, and the emperor is the least important. Although we don’t like this saying, we still understand the truth behind it.”
As he said this, Zhu Yuanzhang lifted up Zhu Youjian with one hand, stared into Zhu Youjian’s eyes and said,”Tell me, in the seventeen years as emperor, have you ever really cared about the living conditions of the people?”
At this moment, Zhu Youjian seemed to have lost all his spirit. When he came, his hair was disheveled, and now most of his hair is white.
Zhu Youjian did not react when he was lifted up by Zhu Yuanzhang’s hand. It was not until Zhu Yuanzhang asked him a question that he said weakly and ashamedly,”I have never really cared about the living conditions of the people.”……”
“You!”
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he wanted to beat Zhu Youjian to death in the Huagai Palace.
He looked around and saw Zhu Gaoxun’s sword on the wall. He actually left Zhu Youjian and rushed to get the sword.
Clang!
The sword light flashed, piercing people’s hearts.
Zhu Yuanzhang’s imperial aura was fully open, terrifying, and he slowly walked in front of Zhu Youjian, wanting to kill Zhu Youjian directly!
When Zhu Youjian saw this situation, he did not struggle, but stretched his neck, making a look of being ready to be killed.
In Zhu Youjian’s heart, the moment was trance.
The past seventeen years of emperorship passed through his mind like a movie curtain, and he could not find any highlights after all.
He was even a little fortunate that dying under Taizu’s sword like this might be his ending.
“Father, you can’t do that!”
Before Zhu Gaoxun could move, Zhu Di stopped Zhu Yuanzhang and said,”Father! Although You Jian’s ability is a little poor, his heart is good! It doesn’t have to be this way…….What’s more, would killing Zhu Youjian at this time change the already corrupt situation of the Chongzhen Dynasty?”
“Get out of the way!”
Zhu Yuanzhang had a dark face, and it was obvious that he had made up his mind. Zhu Di’s advice had no effect.
Helplessly, Zhu Di could only hint to Zhu Gaoxun with his eyes and gestured frequently.
Zhu Gaoxun had been planning to stop him and stepped forward,”Grandpa Emperor, the demise of the Ming Dynasty is the result of years of ills. Zhu Youjian’s ability is a little worse, but that’s because he has not learned the methods of an emperor. Being able to do so is already his greatest ability.” When
Zhu Youjian saw Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxun pleading with him, especially when Zhu Gaoxun said that he had not systematically learned the methods of an emperor and affirmed himself, tears flowed down his face.
He choked and kowtowed to the three of them, saying,”Emperor Chengzu and Emperor Tianchengzu died under the sword of Emperor Taizu, which is the glory of their grandchildren. You two are very grateful for pleading for me…….”
“Shut up!”
Zhu Gaoxun turned around suddenly, his eyes were cold and piercing.
Seeing this look, Zhu Youjian was stunned. He had never seen such a terrifying momentum.
Even in Taizu……Seeing
Zhu Youjian calm down, Zhu Gaoxun turned around. The captivating look just now had disappeared, replaced by a warm smile.
“Grandpa Emperor, now that we have the Emperor Chat Group, is there any problem that cannot be solved?”
At this point, Zhu Gaoxun looked proud and his words were full of confidence,”They are just some thieves and Tartars who like to jump around. I have the confidence that I can wipe them all out!”
Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang, whose brain was dominated by anger, calm down and remember what Zhu Gaoxun said.
Bang.
The sword fell to the ground, and Zhu Yuanzhang murmured:”Yes, we still have this Emperor Chat Group, and everything can still be saved!”
Halfway through his words, Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Di,”Get out, don’t hang around in front of us.”
Zhu Di dodged embarrassedly, and Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed Zhu Gaoxun’s arm with a smile on his face and said:”The Zhu family is blessed to have you!”
Hearing this, Zhu Di couldn’t help but secretly complain in his heart,”You are not my son, where can I go to talk about etiquette?”
When complaining, Zhu Di completely forgot that he didn’t like Zhu Gaochi either, but loved Zhu Zhanji so much that he called him a good saintly grandson. ps: Please give me flowers, comments, and monthly tickets~ I bow to the big guys
