18. Three religions and nine streams, the demons come from the west
The "prosperity" of Shitou Town has already allowed Zhang Zhixiang to see the heroic spirit of Zheng He's fleet at that time.
After knowing Hongwu and the pride of chasing the north during the Yongle period, the more I know, the more I am resentful to the current decay of the Ming Dynasty.
A glimpse of the whole leopard.
The Ming Dynasty, all classes and classes were playing with their own things, and they became accustomed to it.
Everyone is lying on their own interests and sucking blood on the Ming Dynasty. Who is the worst? Is the emperor who lives in a deep palace and is easily soluble in water?
No, no.
It is the people of the world and the lowest level.
If the dynasty has nothing to do, what can the Ministry of Revenue Taicang do if there is something wrong? What should I do if the Ministry of Revenue is not enough? What should I do if the emperor allocates money in the treasury and the emperor has no money?
Hey, Chongzhen is very clear about this.
As for how difficult it is to make money in the treasury, Zhengde and the Eight Tigers can barely divide it into 30% of the 30% of the 30% of the 30% of the 30% of the 30% of the 30% of the 30% of the treasury in the current Jiajing Emperor, but when Yan Maoqing was emitting green smoke, he still had to shout "My money."
By the time of Wanli, the efficiency will be even lower.
I sent mining supervisors everywhere, causing slandering. In my whole life, I only earned 40 million taels of silver. But how much the eunuchs have reaped, and how much local officials have cooperated with eunuchs have reaped, it may be more than a hundred times more...
How sad are these people's lives?
This is true for man-made disasters, and the natural disasters brought by the Little Glacier. If the Ming Dynasty does not perish, then it will be unreasonable.
The combination of nature and man is the foundation of all transformations.
At that time, how could the Ming Dynasty die? Shaving your hair and changing clothes, burning books to fool the people, and cede land and paying compensation for another two hundred years, and almost destroying the clan and the race...
Thinking about what happened after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Zhixiang sighed.
"Does the Fourth Uncle think the Ming Dynasty will perish?"
Zhang Yonghuan was stunned for a moment, wondering why Zhang Zhixiang thought of this, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Did the uncle see the future of the demise of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Um……"
"Who is the one who perishes the Ming Dynasty?"
"Maybe, the Qing Dynasty."
"Ming Qing?"
"Just, Jianzhou Jurchens."
“…”
Zhang Yonghuan didn't believe it and said, "This matter is absolutely impossible. Maybe my uncle has read it wrong."
Zhang Zhixiang smiled bitterly: "Yes, it's impossible. No one believes that Jianzhou can destroy the Ming Dynasty." Did the Ming Dynasty collapse in Jianzhou? Of course not, how could such a powerful empire be destroyed from the outside?
The gentry in the court was the one who destroyed the Ming Dynasty, and the forces in this Lion Head Town were competing for interests.
The Assassin Sect was terrifying and assassinated in Xiluozhou, and was prominent for a while. However, when the Mongolian army was crushed, it could only be killed. The same is true on Poyang Lake. It seems lawless and everyone is powerful. However, when the Eight Banners of Jianzhou drove the Guanning Iron Cavalry south, they could only be killed.
How can private soldiers established by merchants and gentry be compared with border troops?
This will be fully demonstrated in Nanming.
Zhang Zhixiang's thoughts were a little floating. Since confessing that he "was born to know", he liked to compare and observe based on two lifetimes of experience. This "God's perspective" allows him to see more things.
However, what Zhang Yonghuan is concerned about is not the destruction of Jianzhou and the destruction of the Ming Dynasty.
He reminded carefully: "The Ming Dynasty was destroyed in Jianzhou, so it is best not to speak out about this matter. Don't mention it after entering Beijing to meet the saint."
No one believes this matter. Telling it will only affect Zhang Zhixiang's reputation. Moreover, Liting in Chenghua was unable to destroy Jianzhou, so it is even more impossible now.
Although Jiajing won the big ceremony.
But after all, he was the vassal king, so he would not mention the orthodox nature of the imperial power. He could not inherit the legacy of the "Last Emperor" and was a real "lone".
In recent years, we have been exhausted from dealing with Yang Ting and the Yi Party. How much control can we control the nine-sided military?
To put it bluntly.
Jiajing now has no ability to go out to war, and there is no possibility of going out to war with political considerations. Even if Zhang Zhixiang affirms this prophecy, he cannot say it.
If he dares to say it.
Then the "Immortal" will immediately become a "demon" and are confusing the public with evil words!
"I know."
Zhang Zhixiang is not stupid. He knows what to say and what not to say, but his emotions are still a little depressed. Zhang Yonghuan can understand, but this is the world...
"When will the Ming Dynasty die?" Zhang Yonghuan was still a little curious.
"The 17th year of Chongzhen, 118 years ago."
"There is still a hundred years of national destiny?"
Zhang Yonghuan was a little surprised. In his opinion, the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, when the Great Cold came, the Ming Dynasty should perish.
It shouldn't last for a hundred years.
"Yes, there are still a hundred years left..." Zhang Zhixiang also saw hope in a trance. Although the Ming Dynasty was terminally ill, this era was not bad.
Two and a half saints of Confucianism.
Mr. Wang Yangming is still alive, and Zhang Juzheng should have been born last year.
There is still a rescue in the Ming Dynasty.
"Uncle Fourth, I know what to do." Zhang Zhixiang was no longer pessimistic. He had figured it out. What his senior brother said was right. The rise and fall of the world was not on his own.
Without him, Zhang Zhixiang, someone else was turning the tide!
"Well, it's good to figure it out. Let's go and have a meal at the restaurant in front." Zhang Yonghuan felt that the uncle was not only energetic, but his whole body was sublimated a little.
Zhang Zhixiang himself did not notice it. He had never recited the Golden Light Mantra, but his body was shining with golden light that ordinary people could not see.
If the old master is here, he will be praised.
Zhang Zhixiang did not notice this, but because of his spirit, he regained a little bit of childish vitality. When he walked, he felt light and leaping like the wind.
I entered that Laifu Inn.
I chose a position by the window and ordered the meal. Because it was getting dark, the lights were also rising in the store, but it was very bright. Under the light, music actually rose, and then a Hu Ji appeared and stepped onto a table and danced directly.
The customers also shouted and whistled, and those who were happy sprinkled silver and copper coins to the dancers.
The sound of the dirty mouth is endless.
These people in the world who licked blood from the knife seem to be wild and restless...
Zhang Zhixiang doesn’t like this kind of environment very much, it feels a bit like... He hasn’t been to a bar in his previous life, but he has also heard of it and it feels similar.
"Uncle Fourth, it's so noisy."
"Yeah, go back after dinner."
The Wang family has a yard in Shitou Town. The wind and rainwater have already settled with the Wang family team first. Zhang Yonghuan took Zhang Zhixiang out to visit the world. This kind of place of all religions and all kinds of things is the best place to train people.
Zhang Yonghuan said he was waiting for dinner, but in fact, the drunkard's intention was not to drink.
There is a demonic atmosphere here.
(ps: Zeng Guofan said that two and a half saints were to praise himself. Confucius and Wang Yangming were saints, and the remaining half were left. If you really want to talk about it, it could only be Zhang Juzheng, who was far from shaving his head.)
