"Who can win this battle with Brother Li?" Xiang Yu suddenly asked after looking at the information he got from Ying Ziqi.
And the Brother Li he spoke of was no ordinary person. His name was Li Shimin, and he was one of the special commentators on the Shushan series of experiments.
Li Shimin came from the Sui Dynasty and joined the Expedition Division early. He is now one of the backbones of the empire. He is talented in both civil and military affairs and is good at both high-level politics and military warfare.
Even after joining the empire, he learned a lot of mathematics knowledge. Although he is not as good as mathematics experts like Yun Ye and Yuan Tiangang, he can still be regarded as a second-rate mathematics talent.
In addition, he also studied economics, obtained a doctorate in economics in the material world, and published dozens of related papers, one of which became one of the recommended articles in the elective economics textbook of the Imperial Academy.
So he became a special commentator. For Li Shimin, this is a long-term task, but it is also a good task to observe the various situations in the world and the changes in life.
Frankly speaking, this is a new learning opportunity for Li Er, who is already a true immortal, and it is of some benefit to the establishment of Dao Fruit.
So not only Li Er is here to observe this experiment, Xiang Yu is no exception.
Although Xiang Yu's image to the outside world has always been that of a military commander, a martial sage, a god of war, and a god of war, he also studied all the way from Imperial Elementary School to Imperial Middle School, and was admitted to Imperial Imperial College on his own merits.
This is a scholar who loves learning, loves knowledge, loves fighting, and advocates fighting, so he is also a special commentator for this Shushan series of experiments.
"It must be Emperor Chongzhen. His house-slave warriors are essentially a combination of government troops and farming wars. They are stronger than government troops but weaker than farming wars. In terms of overall quality, equipment level, tactical concepts, and the quality of grassroots officers is even more important.
Above Hou Jin, there is no suspense in this battle." Li Er thought for a while and was very sure.
"Unless a meteorite falls from the sky, Chongzhen will definitely win!"
"Hou Jin is not without his advantages. He who has a sharp hole is invincible. Moreover, they are all cavalry. Even if their weapons are backward, they still have no chance at all." Xiang Yu said cautiously.
I don't know if it's because of reading history books, but Xiang Yu has been more cautious since he was a boy. He rushes when he should, but he has always been very cautious at other times.
Glancing at Xiang Yu, who was not very similar to the overlord in the history books, Li Er still insisted on his opinion: "If we look at the probability, the chance of Ming Dynasty winning this battle is 90%, and the remaining 10% is an accident. But.
From a realistic point of view, Ming Dynasty is almost destined to win."
boom!
boom!
boom!
Hundreds of artillery pieces, operated by new artillerymen who had learned mathematics, parabolas, and geometry, roared, marking the beginning of the decisive battle!
This battle was just as Li Shimin said, the Ming Dynasty won!
The surprise Xiang Yu guessed did not come!
So facing hundreds of cannons that were pointed at where to hit, hundreds of snipers, and 80,000 house slave warriors, Houjin was no match at all.
Even though the sharp-eyed Huang Taiji issued the order to retreat not long after the confrontation, the defeat was still very miserable, because this time the Ming Dynasty had a total of 30,000 dragon cavalry.
Although the riding skills of these dragoons are not very good, most of them are no more than the level of children on the grassland, but they have guns in their hands, and everyone is equal under the flintlock!
It doesn’t matter whether you are a Mongolian herdsman or a Houjin Eight Banner, whether you are a high-ranking Lord Beile or a low-level banner slave, you will be settled with one shot!
One shot!
One shot!
Still a shot!
What impressed Huang Taiji the most in this battle was the hundreds of cannons that were pointed to hit wherever they wanted. What impressed the lower-level soldiers the most was the Ming Dynasty's black guns!
In the second year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty and Hou Jin Dynasty fought a decisive battle with Jizhen. After the first battle, the world was shocked. Chongzhen took the opportunity to lead the army and occupied Jizhen and Liaozhen.
Under the double guarantee of great righteousness and the strength of the warriors of Fangnu, these newly formed warlords in Jizhen and Liaozhen completely surrendered to Emperor Chongzhen.
There is no other way to survive if they don't surrender. In terms of strength, they can't even defeat Houjin. Why dare they dare to be arrogant with Chongzhen's house slave warriors? As for righteousness, Chongzhen is righteousness. Under the king, king, minister, father, father and son, what else is good?
Fighting?
As for rebelling and fleeing to Houjin, that is an idea only an idiot would have. As long as they can survive in the Ming Dynasty, who would be willing to seek refuge in Houjin?
With the help of the great victory, Chongzhen completely controlled Ji Town and Liao Town, the two border towns with the largest number of soldiers and the strongest strength. He also controlled a large amount of land and population in Liaodong.
By this time, Chongzhen's prestige was already established, and he could even issue imperial edicts at will.
The so-called Zhongzhi is an imperial decree that has not been recognized by the civil servants.
According to the current court procedures, a complete imperial edict can be written by a eunuch or a civil servant, but the edict must be issued by the emperor. After the draft is completed, it must be approved by the cabinet and go through several procedures before it is considered complete.
The imperial edict of Zhengerbajing.
In this process, the officials of the Sixth Section of the imperial court have the right to fight back the imperial edict. If the content of the imperial edict is unfavorable to the literati, the officials of the Sixth Section can hold high the banner of ancestral system and fight back the emperor's imperial edict.
Then this imperial edict became invalid.
If the emperor forcibly promulgates an imperial edict, but the civil officials do not agree, then such an imperial edict is an imperial edict and is against etiquette and law.
At least the civil officials felt that such an imperial edict was against the rules!
So if you still want to hang out in the civil service community in the future, then you must have integrity and backbone. Faced with such an edict, what you should do is refuse!
If a civil servant dares not to refuse the imperial decree, or even accept it, then he is a traitor to the civil servant community, and he is an outlier. Not only will he be ostracized by all civil servants, but also his son, his grandson, and others.
Every family will be affected!
Even the moment he accepted the imperial edict, there would be a letter from the imperial censor immediately impeaching him, and a large number of charges would fall directly on his head. Even if the emperor tried to protect him, his reputation would be completely ruined.
But this approach of the civil servants was just to bully the otaku emperors like Wanli, Tianqi, and Taichang who grew up in the deep palace and were raised in the hands of women.
If Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were like this, they wouldn't even dare to fart!
So when Chongzhen defeated Hou Jin and established Jingguan, the civil servants took the initiative to shrink back. As for refuting Chongzhen's imperial edict and saying that the imperial edict was illegal and unreasonable, it never happened once.
In fact, if Chongzhen had just won a big victory, the civil servants would not necessarily criticize him. Just look at Zhengde. Zhengde is also very good at fighting. He also led the army to defeat the little prince who invaded the Central Plains at that time. The little prince who was defeated is still alive in Zhengde.
At that time, I didn’t dare to go south at all.
But how do civil servants treat Zhengde?
The records of this battle in the history books of civil servants are roughly as follows: Zhengde and the little prince fought a battle. The battle lasted for one day and one night. Zhengde personally killed a Mongolian. In total, dozens of Mongolian herders were killed in this battle...
As for whether such a record is logical, the civil servants don't care at all.
What is a face?
have no idea!
Don't get into the details, asking is the emperor's fault!
If you ask again, then there is something wrong with your ingredients!
Are you still a member of the scholar-officials?
If Chongzhen's temper was as good as Zhengde's, then his treatment would probably not be much different from Zhengde's. However, the major case in the first year of Chongzhen's reign has proven that this young emperor did not have a good temper.
The emperor who killed civilian officials.
So in the face of real difficulties, the civil servants shrank faster than Chongzhen imagined!
However, Chongzhen kept an eye on it. He still did not return to Beijing and directly built a temporary palace in Liao Town to deal with major world affairs at the same time.
Two years later, the reform of Ji Town and Liao Town was completed, and the population and land were completely controlled by Chongzhen. There were no middlemen between the people and Chongzhen.
The so-called middlemen refer to petty officials, officials and squires.
When the imperial court levied Liao's salary, each common person collected ten pence. Then when the officials below collected taxes, each common person had to collect one hundred pence.
And when the ten cents in the hands of the imperial court were spent, the officials would lose two cents first, and in the hands of the soldiers at the bottom, there might be only one cent left.
It is the existence of these middlemen that makes the Ming Dynasty, which is so large, unable to defeat the small and powerful Houjin. Although the Ming Dynasty has a large population and land, it cannot bear the number of middlemen!
The common people have contributed a hundred efforts, but only one of them has been truly implemented. The remaining ninety-nine have fallen into the pockets of middlemen.
Later, when the Metal Division first emerged, it was the most united and fair time, and at least 80 out of 100 strengths were put into practice.
If you divide the Ming Dynasty's land and population by one hundred, and then compare it with 0.8 times the Houjin, you will find that the Ming Dynasty's advantages are not big at all.
In the autumn of the fourth year of Chongzhen, after the imperial martial arts tournament ended, Chongzhen finally moved away, but he still did not return to Beijing. He went to Datong and repeated what he had done in Ji Town and Liao Town.
In the autumn of the sixth year of Chongzhen's reign, Chongzhen finally returned to Beijing, but he still could not live in the palace. Reform began to spread to the entire Beizhili, and with the previous four years, enough grassroots officials had been reserved.
With these grassroots officials, although there are occasional ups and downs, it is generally very stable.
In the twelfth year of Chongzhen's reign, the reform in the north was completed. Chongzhen led 200,000 slaves and warriors, 400,000 warrior candidates, 100,000 officials, millions of clan descendants, and millions of refugees to go south to Nanjing.
The purpose is also very simple, to beg for food!
Begging is a skill passed down from our ancestor Zhu Chongba. You start with a bowl and rely on equipment, but in the end you become the emperor. This is not a money-making game, but something that really happened.
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen felt that he should inherit this great habit of his ancestors, so he led millions of people to the south to beg for food.
If you think about it, it will be a lot of trouble to use southerners as officials to carry out reforms and let them cut their own flesh. But if you let the refugees in the north, who are living in difficulty, cut the flesh of the small landowners in the south, they will definitely not hesitate.
Are you a great scholar of the world?
do not know!
Are you a Jinshi master?
I am a descendant of the clan, and my current Majesty has the same ancestor hundreds of years ago. You have nothing to do with it!
You are a local powerful person with an area of thousands of acres. How many servants do you have?
In the autumn of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, another imperial martial arts competition concluded, this time held in Nanjing. This year, the Ming Dynasty's reform initially came to an end...
Standing on the city wall of Nanjing, Chongzhen looked at the lights of thousands of houses in the distance, looked at the stars in the sky, and looked at the waning moon that could not be found without looking carefully, and he felt a lot of emotion.
He recalled his previous life. At that time, Li Zicheng's rebels were coming outside the city. The rebels in the city were chasing him with their swords raised high. However, in the autumn, he had lost his power.
Thinking of this, Chongzhen thought of the rebellious son in this life. He seemed quite filial, but his abilities were completely incomparable with those in the previous life. He didn't know whether the rebellious son deliberately pretended to be like this or what happened.
In the 20th year of Chongzhen, the obese Huang Taiji finally couldn't hold on anymore. He suffered from high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high blood lipids, and died of an outbreak of three highs. Dorgon and Haoge competed for the position of the Great Khan, and they fought for a while. In the end, Fulin succeeded him.
In the position, Dorgon and Hauge assisted in the administration.
In the 22nd year of Chongzhen, Hauge died of illness.
In the 30th year of Chongzhen, the regent Dorgon died of illness and Fulin took power.
In the 33rd year of Chongzhen, Fulin began the Sinicization reform. The reform failed, but intensified internal conflicts. The Eight Banners rebellion was suppressed, Fulin was forced to abdicate, and Kangxi succeeded to the throne. Aobai and Xiaozhuang assisted him.
In the 40th year of Chongzhen's reign, in the freezing cold weather, Crown Prince Zhu Cixi personally led thousands of cavalry to destroy the country and capture the emperor. Chongzhen was overjoyed when he heard the news.
In the 60th year of Chongzhen's reign, Emperor Chongzhen abdicated and was succeeded by Crown Prince Zhu Cixiang.
This year is already the 60th year since Zhu Cihong became the prince. He has been the prince from the moment he was born, and he is exactly 60 years old this year.

"The time of the Little Glacier has become shorter and the intensity has become lower. I remember when Wang Dou was the emperor, even in places as hot as Guangzhou, there was heavy snowfall in winter, and the lowest temperature was more than 30 degrees below zero. The day before
It was still more than ten degrees below zero, but after a heavy snowfall, it became more than thirty degrees below zero. Many people froze to death overnight before they could react."
Xiang Yu was a little confused at this moment, what is Xiaoglacier?
If it is a purely material world, then the Little Glacier is a kind of natural weather, a type of weather, but it is worse and more destructive. If you are not careful, it will lead to the destruction of the country and the family.
But in the extraordinary world, Little Glacier is a world instinct and one of the tools used by the world to control the interior of the world.
Think about the two experiments before and after, what is the difference?
The first Wang Dou rebellion was successful and a new dynasty was established.
The second time Chongzhen reformed the Ming Dynasty.
All the money was wiped out.
All civil servants were punished.
Generally speaking, their reforms are positive.
"There are too many factors and too little data. It's hard to see through and understand. Without enough data, everything at this moment is just speculation." Li Shimin said seriously.
It's not that he is not smart, but he only tried it three times in total. The first time Wang Dou failed. The second time Wang Dou succeeded, and the third time Chongzhen also succeeded.
What can be seen from three experiments?
Although a large amount of data has been generated, who can be sure which factor has the greatest impact on God’s will? The greatest impact on the length of the Little Glacier?
"I suggest continuing to experiment. Anyway, if the court has money, sooner or later the essence of destiny will be explored. However, I feel that the current exploration is still too conservative. Not only can there be time travelers, but also rebirths. Not only can people travel alone
, and can also be worn in groups.”
"Not only can the aborigines travel through time and be reborn, but the people of Great Qin can also travel through the past, and even interested gods and gods from heaven can join this civilization experiment..."
