Four hundred and ninety-five the furious Zhu Yijun

Of course, Zhu Yijun had reason to be angry, and his reasons for being angry were more sufficient than Emperor Jiajing.

After Chenghua, the Ming Dynasty emperor was unable to actually interfere in the military affairs of the border military. He was unable to follow his will and had no military power. He finally produced an Emperor Zhengde who was not easy to fool. He had just established a little prestige in his personal expedition several times, but he was strangely killed in the water. Now, the Ming Dynasty emperor could no longer hold military power.

Even Emperor Jiajing, the emperor with the highest IQ, who has a certain degree of power and personnel, has not been able to obtain military power, or the military power is held tightly by the civil servant group.

Even those who were standing on his side could not let go. Emperor Jiajing tried hard and found that he was unable to do so, so he gave up. Then he was proud and began to practice Taoism, and had no energy.

Emperor Longqing would not say anything, but was willing to be a puppet. After his death, his civil servants' strength increased significantly. Wanli even lost the power of Emperor Jiajing. Jiajing could still be scolded by later generations for his improper employment of people, which led to the Altan incident. Zhu Yijun was really a sucker.

Don’t believe too much in official historical books, they are all compiled by literati.

There is no power to employ people, no military and military power, and I can't control this or that. The civil servant knows that he wants money, and he can't even decide who to be the prince. After being stalemate for so many years, he has not been able to accomplish anything. You can imagine what level of "power" in Zhu Yijun's hands is.

He had thought about continuing to follow the old path of Emperor Longqing, but he felt frustrated, and the memories of being oppressed by Zhang Juzheng continued to reappear. He wanted to gain the real power that the emperor should have, so that he would not be oppressed by a minister, forced by ministers to pay money, and even his successor could not be decided.

He was not unbearable. He had endured it for twenty-five years, and he didn't mind continuing to endure it for a few years. However, this patience was limited and not without any bottom line. These bastards could not even hide it, so they came to tell him about this. It is conceivable how angry Zhu Yijun was.

Behind Pingxing Pass is the Zijing Pass, and behind Zijing Pass is the Beijing City. From Zijing Pass to Beijing City, there is no danger to defend. The iron cavalry will attack. If it is fast, it will be able to arrive in two days. The emperor will really have to fulfill the oath of his ancestors and the emperor will guard the national gate!

Emperor Jing once guarded him and Emperor Jiajing once guarded him, and they all regarded him as a great humiliation. Now this time, is it his turn again? But he obviously failed to do anything and didn’t even have the chance to make a mistake, but he was forced to face such a situation. Why? Why?

The more he thought about it, he became more and more angry. He drew out his sword and cut off the two bastards in front of him.

No, no, personal resentment is small, national affairs are big, and remedial measures must be taken immediately, otherwise, if you really have to wait for Beijing to besieged, you will lose all your face.

The court had only won so many battles not long ago, and swore to the world that the prosperity came. Not long after the announcement was announced, the capital was surrounded by the Mongols. The face was slammed, from the emperor to the ministers, they were all in danger of their faces. What's more, the people would not think that this was the fault of the ministers, they would only blame the emperor from the bottom of their hearts.

It is the so-called ministers who take the blame for the emperor.

Zhu Yijun sat back on his chair, took a few deep breaths, and finally calmed down.

"What do you think? Why did the Mongolians attack the border, why Datong was lost, and what is the situation now? Tell me carefully, if you dare to hide it, you will definitely punish me!"

Zhao Zhigao and Shen Li breathed a little relieved, and then Zhao Zhigao straightened his upper body and began to explain.

"Your Majesty, this is because of the early winter in the past two years and the severe cold climate. According to past practice, years of severe cold climate are mostly famine years. People can still wear cotton clothes to keep the cold, but this grain cannot wear cotton clothes to keep the cold. Therefore, the grain froze to death, and the large-scale harvest of grain in the northern region has caused famine and chaos."

"I have heard so much of this cliché!"

Zhu Yijun shouted angrily.

Chen Li quickly spoke, "Your Majesty! Please calm down your anger! Mr. Zhao hasn't finished speaking yet. The weather is very cold. The colder the moon is to the north and the warmer the south. The northern part of our Ming Dynasty is still so cold, let alone the Mongolians who are even more northerly than us.

When the weather is cold, the Mongolians cannot survive. Their cattle and sheep are frozen to death, they have nothing to eat, they cannot survive the winter, and they are forced to plunder south. This is the reason why Mongolia goes south to plunder most of the time, and they have nothing to eat, so when the weather is cold, they will come to rob our food and go back to spend the winter.

Therefore, this is why Mongolia has more frequent border attacks in the years of famine, and Mongolia has no trace in the years of harvest. If we have something to eat and they have something to eat, we don’t have to fight to grab grain. But if we have nothing to eat, we will definitely go south to grab grain in order to survive, and this time it is the same.”

After hearing Chen Li's explanation, Zhu Yijun calmed down a little, and continued to ask: "Why didn't the Mongols go south successfully in the past forty years, but this time they asked them to break through Datong?"

"There was a Longqing peace talks before. The peace talks had just ended and they were still effective. In a few years, the Tumote tribe was led by Wang Chonggu as a helper and became the only ally of the Ming Dynasty outside the pass. The Tumote tribe had tens of thousands of iron cavalry, which was enough to guard the border for the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, for more than ten years since then, the Tumote tribe has been constantly blocking disasters for the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has continued to trade with it."

"I also know this. I know very clearly about the Third Lady. I just want to know why King Shunyi betrayed the Ming Dynasty this time! Where is the Third Lady? Why is there no news?"

Zhu Yijun asked aggressively.

Zhao Zhigao and Shen Li realized that the emperor had done their homework and knew a lot about the Ming Dynasty. They were not easy to fool them, and they did not dare to speak nonsense at the moment. Zhao Zhigao told the truth honestly.

"The border military newspaper only talked about Tallik and did not talk about the third lady, so I don't know the inside story, but the reason why Tumot rebelled was because there was no food to eat."

"How could there be no food for him to eat with the Ming Dynasty and Tumote?"

"In the year of famine, the Ming Dynasty itself had no food to eat. The land in Guanzhong and Shanxi was completely out of stock, and the grain supply was not enough. The three towns of Taiyuan and Xuanfu were all short of food. They only rely on the grain transport of Jiangnan to support it for a while. Now the previous batch was exhausted, but the next batch had not yet set off for transportation to the border!"

"Damn it!"
