Chapter 1 Daming with many disasters!

In the twelfth year of Hongwu, Ying Tianfu, the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Yuanzhang’s seventh son, Zhu Rong, stood at the end of the group of ministers, listening to the discussion between Zhu Yuanzhang and the group of ministers with low eyebrows.

He Zhu Rong will go to the fief Qingzhou in three years.

In fact, Zhu Rong had already been named King of Qi in the third year of Hongwu, but because of his young age, he was unable to govern such a large territory, so he stayed in the capital to cultivate.

In addition to daily studies, when I was older, I began to observe in the court hall, learning how to deal with the government of the dynasty, how to govern the country, and preparing for the accession to the domain.

If it is recorded in history, he will follow his fourth brother Zhu Di on his northern expedition, and although he is capable, he will be punished for arrogance and lawlessness. When Jianwen ascended the throne and reduced the clan, Zhu Rong would be deposed as a commoner and imprisoned in the capital for four years.

After the change of Jing, Ming Chengzu restored the throne and returned Zhu Rong to the clan, but Zhu Rong still kept tossing and turning, and even privately raised assassins, got jianghu warlocks to pretend to be gods and ghosts, a clan king, misbehaved, Ming Chengzu could not bear it, once again deposed Zhu Rong as a commoner, and put Nanjing under house arrest until death.

As a traverser, Zhu Rong does not want to be under house arrest until death. With his academic insight, two lifetimes, and some historical allusions to the Ming Dynasty, it is naturally not difficult to give some advice to the Ming Dynasty.

But the problem is, you mentioned it, someone has to listen!

Don’t look at his status as a prince now, but above this court, what he says and talks will only be regarded as a joke, and no one takes it seriously at all. Even constructive opinions are only treated as paper.

Now in the eyes of his father, brothers and courtiers, Zhu Rong is just a prince who has not grown up and does not understand anything.

The capital has never been out, the soldiers have not been brought, and even a county town has not been governed, and they dare to talk about state affairs in vain?!

What’s more, in front of him, there is the Crown Prince Zhu Biao with outstanding ability, and the highly regarded Zhu Di.

Above the court, how can he speak!

Zhu Rong was anxious, because only he knew what kind of bad luck Daming would encounter in the future.

In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Prince Zhu Biao returned from his inspection of Shaanxi and died of wind and cold, and in an instant, the Daming Kingdom was in turmoil!

Zhu Yuanzhang was very fond of Zhu Yunjiao, but he was afraid that his ability was insufficient, so he started the massacre!

During the Yongle period, although Zheng He went to the West to promote the prestige of our country, it mainly stayed at the level of tributary maritime trade, which was a transaction between countries, and private overseas trade was still prohibited.

The sea ban stabilized the ruling order, but sacrificed the vitality of the people, and made the Ming Dynasty miss the Age of Exploration!

Moreover, from the beginning to the end of the Daming Dynasty, it experienced four major natural disasters.

The first day of disaster, the Jiajing earthquake!

A huge earthquake of up to 8 magnitude occurred in the Weihe River valley north of the Qinling Mountains, not to mention that in ancient times, even in modern times, it was a catastrophe. At that time, the provinces of Shaanxi, Shanxi and Henan were severely affected, and because the earthquake occurred at midnight, there was no time to escape, and no precursors were found.

At the same time, the earthquake resistance of houses is extremely poor, and the affected area is a densely populated area, with a death toll of 830,000, the deadliest earthquake in the world. Sixty percent of the population within a radius of 2,000 li died. The earthquake occurred in winter, displaced people, many refugees froze to death and starved to death, and rumors spread that the world was in chaos and the people were not happy.

Aftershocks occurred three to four times a month for half a year and lasted for five years!

The next day of disaster, the Xiaoice river period!

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the temperature plummeted, and the gas of the Ming Dynasty was exhausted with this cooling, which lasted for a long time, and did not end until the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Drought and flooding occur simultaneously in summer, and extremely cold in winter.

The Ming Dynasty was still mainly agricultural, and bad weather had a serious impact on agriculture, grain production plummeted, famine broke out in various places, northern nomads frequently went south in order to survive, and large-scale wars and famine destroyed the Ming Dynasty.

The third day of disaster, the apocalypse explosion!

A bizarre explosion occurred near the powder magazine, covering an area of 2.25 square kilometers and killing as many as 20,000 people, the scene was very tragic, the power of this explosion is equivalent to 20,000 tons of TNT explosion, which caused heavy damage to the economy of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the huge sound and black smoke, there are two strange places, one is that all the corpses are in the strange shape of red fruit, and the other is such a large explosion, there is no trace of burning, because these problems cannot be explained, the Apocalypse Big Bang and the Tianzhu Death Hill incident, the polar bear Siberian Tunguska Big Explosion, collectively known as the mystery of the world’s three natural disasters.

The fourth day of calamity, the plague!

In the sixth year of Chongzhen, the plague broke out in Shanxi, which had already suffered many disasters, and the people could not even fill their stomachs, let alone have no money to treat the disease, and the plague could not be controlled, and spread everywhere with Li Zicheng and the Qing Dynasty army.

The plague became more and more rampant, and finally spread to the capital, where the death toll rate was as high as one-fifth, and the people lived in fear.

The plague was caused by ecological damage caused by abnormal climate, accompanied by drought and famine, resulting in a dead cycle of drought, famine and plague, and the Ming Dynasty was sluggish and could not turn over.

Li Zicheng entered the capital, Chongzhen diligently ruled the emperor, a more wise monarch than the emperors of previous dynasties, “not the king of the dead country, when the luck of the dead country”, hanged himself under the clear breeze and bright moon of the coal mountain, desolate and tragic.

Zhu Rong was sighing in his heart, and suddenly an electromechanical sound sounded in his mind.

“Ding! The Great Empire system is bound successfully! ”
