I make a popular science video and all the emperors learn from it!

Chapter 119

【Zhu Yuanzhang's life of begging was not easy】

【Since there are many monks in the temple, the alms places are often defined. Where the places are rich, relatives of the abbot are assigned to go there; where the places are poor, Zhu Chongba is arranged to go.】

【You deserve to starve to death anyway. It doesn’t matter who lets you enter the temple.】

【The place where Zhu Chongba was assigned was in Huaixi and Henan】

【This is also the main area of famine】

【The local people had no food to eat. Who had anything to give him?】

【In You Fang's life, Zhu Chongba could only walk and was not picked up by a carriage.】

【As he walked, he begged for food, traveling through cities and villages, going from house to house, sleeping in the mountains. Every door he knocked on was a test for him.】

【Because people who face him often just roll their eyes and sneer at him. For Zhu Chongba, knocking on that door may mean insult, but if he doesn't knock on that door, he will starve to death.】

【But Zhu Chongba is different from other beggars】

【It was precisely because of his differences that he did not remain a beggar.】

【While begging, he carefully studied the geography, mountains, customs and customs of Huaixi. He broadened his horizons, enriched his knowledge, and got to know many heroes (actually also beggars).】

【When Zhu Chongba was about to leave Huaixi where he was begging for food and return to Huangjue Temple,】

【He carefully recalled the place where he had stayed for three years, thought about what he had gained and lost here, and then packed his bags and set off on his way home.】

【......】

【At the same time, the world becomes even more unstable】

【The Yuan Dynasty at that time was extremely decadent. Those conquerors from Mongol did not seem to think that the people under their rule were human beings.】

【They often even consider killing these land-occupying guys and using the land for grazing.】

【From taxes to corvee, any way people can think of to make money can be used to collect money】

【During the holidays, you have to collect"festival money", you have to collect"regular money" from work, and you have to collect"business money" from lawsuits. Even if you stay at home and don't go out, you still need money for no reason, and you have to collect"spread money"."】

【The fourth year of Yuan Zhizheng (AD 1344) came】

【At the beginning of this year, officials of the Yuan Empire received two pieces of news. First, the Yellow River overflowed, and hundreds of thousands of people in the mountains and rivers along the coast became refugees.】

【Even the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty did not treat the common people as human beings】

【But we still have to prevent them from rebelling, so building the embankment of the Yellow River has become a must-do.】

【The other is along the Huaihe River. It suffered from severe plague and drought.】

【For the Yuan government, this is relatively simple. Anyway, if you die of starvation or illness, there will be no trouble. Of course, superficial work still needs to be done.】

【Emperor Yuan Shun wants to issue an edict for disaster relief】

【The senior officials of the Zhongshu Provincial Government will contact them for grain and silver. Of course, they can also take advantage of the opportunity to get some.】

【Disaster relief items were allocated to various districts (local administrative units in the Yuan Dynasty), and local governors retained some, followed by prefectures and counties.】

【Layer by layer, only chaff is left in the hands of the people.】

【Then local officials at all levels wrote to express their gratitude to the emperor. As usual, they also said some words of gratitude for Tian's grace, and compared the historical events of Yao, Shun, and Yu with the emperor. After the emperor saw the report, he felt deeply that he had done a great thing. So I made a note in my heart for myself】

【The emperor and officials were satisfied】

【It’s such a pain for the common people】

【Zhu Chongba’s family also died of starvation at that time】

【...】

【In the eleventh year of Zhizheng (1351 AD), the end of the Yuan Dynasty came】

【When the Yuan Dynasty ordered 170,000 workers along the coast to build river embankments, officials at all levels were extremely excited.】

【First of all, the money allocated by the emperor to build the river can be withheld, and the rations of the migrant workers can be withheld. Anyway, it is none of their business if they don’t eat or drink.】

【This is a large amount of income, and the cost of the project can also be deducted】

【Anyway, if the Yellow River overflows, it won’t drown officials like myself.】

【This is the one in charge of river affairs, so how can those who don’t care about river affairs make money?】

【In fact, it is simple. Since such a big project, there must be a quota for corvee labor. Find dozens of people, go to various villages, and take away the men when they see them.】

【As for the reason?】

【Build embankment】

【Don't want to go? Get the money!】

【No money? Take away anything valuable!】

【The old trick of peasant rebellion is here!】

【When the migrant workers dug into the cave, they dug out a stone man with one eye from under the river. The other eye of the stone man was carved on the back, stirring up rebellion in the Yellow River world....】

【The migrant workers suddenly discovered that these were the exact lyrics they had been singing for several years.】

【So people's thoughts are moved】

【A few days later, Han Shantong and Liu Futong revolted in Yingzhou, where Zhu Chongba had begged for food.】

【Their uprising was no different from previous uprisings. As usual, they wanted to establish a religious organization. This time it was the White Lotus Sect.】

【Of course, since you dare to rebel, your identity should also be different.】

【Therefore, Han Shantong, who may have been a poor peasant for eight generations, suddenly took the surname Zhao and became the royal family of the Song Dynasty. Liu Futong also became a descendant of General Liu Guangshi.】

【The fire finally started burning, and it started a prairie fire.】

【In just one year, dozens of riots broke out in the seemingly powerful Yuan Empire, and millions of people joined the rebel army. Even the Mongol soldiers, who were invincible in the world, were no longer as brave as they once were and were unable to save them. critical situation】

【At this time, Zhu Chongba was still ringing the bell in the temple.】

【Judging from various signs, he had no intention of joining the rebel army.】

【But his peaceful life will soon be broken】

【In the Yuan Dynasty's battle to suppress the rebels, if they suffered a defeat, they would be punished】

【But the task of suppressing the uprising must be completed】

【So the officials of the Yuan Dynasty decided resolutely to attack the common people!】

【Since the rebels cannot be defeated, then we should capture those common people who can be bullied and kill them as rebels.】

【The issues before Zhu Chongba at this time】

【If you don't go up in rebellion, you will most likely be caught by an official and killed as an insurrectionist.】

【If you surrender to the rebel army, your life will not be saved once it is defeated by the Yuan army.】

【At this moment, a letter completely changed his fate】

【His childhood friend Tang He wrote a letter to him】

【The content of the letter was that he had become a member of the uprising army, and he hoped that Zhu Chongba would join the uprising army and seek wealth together. Zhu Chongba burned the letter after reading it.】

【But in the evening】

【His senior brother told him that someone already knew about him reading letters from the rebels and was going to report him.】

【Zhu Chongba was finally forced to a dead end!】

【Zhu Chongba was also undecided. He found a person and asked him for his opinion. This person was named Zhou Dexing.】

【Zhou Dexing's advice to Zhu Chongba was to tell fortunes】

【The result of fortune-telling is"it is unlucky to escape from the divination code, and it is okay to make do with it.""】

【It means running away. It would be unlucky to stay here. It might be okay to rebel.】

【Zhu Chongba understood that there was no way out】

【He originally just wanted to be a farmer honestly, farm two acres of land, and honor his parents.】

【But can't do it】

【The parents were burdened with a heavy burden of land tax and corvee labor, and they worked diligently every day, and ended up with the whole family being ruined.】

【I hid in the temple just to make a living, but now I'm being accused, and I might lose my head.】

【fed up】

【Then do the opposite! Damn it!】

【......】

"We should have rebelled long ago! I can't even stand it!"

"Good thing!"

"The dog court doesn't treat us people as human beings, so why do we still tolerate them?"

"kill! Kill the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty and become the emperor yourself!"

"......"

The ancient people were happy.

Standing on the street, they started cheering.

As mentioned above, they are all too familiar with the layers of deductions and deductions for disaster relief!

When was this not the case?

The imperial court allocated a lot of things, but once it got into the hands of the people, there was only a little chaff left.

This is pretty good!

Sometimes, you can’t even eat the chaff.

Besides, corvée is even more irritating!

Not only working for the imperial court was in vain, but the key was that he didn't have enough to eat, and sometimes he would be whipped if he worked slowly!

All the anger he usually accumulated was let out now.

Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng frowned secretly.

He murmured in a low voice:"The people are rebelling....An old trick?"

"I remember that when Zhu Di rebelled, he also used the trick of pretending to be a ghost."

After a brief silence,

Ying Zheng came to his senses. He finally understood why the people did this before they rebelled.

He called Li Si and ordered:"Li Si, add a criminal law. If you see anyone who is pretending to be a ghost, report it to the government. You will be rewarded.!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Si nodded solemnly.

This criminal law is very easy to operate, but you have to be careful of people deliberately falsely reporting crimes or defrauding the reward money.

You need to think of other countermeasures before promulgating them.

Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang was shocked.

He thought at first, Zhu Yuanzhang, like Liu Xiu, had various adventures before he finally succeeded in rebelling.

Now it seems that he really came from a poor family.

He didn't even have a helper around him.

And not long after, he had to seek refuge with his friends.

He was really too busy. What a tragedy![]

Far worse than before his rebellion.

Liu Bang was even more curious, how did Zhu Yuanzhang change from a peasant to an emperor?

Another dynasty.

Liu Che was angry

"snort! Damn prairie people, they have never regarded Han people as human beings!"

"The common people of the Han Dynasty were taken to the grasslands and either turned into slaves or used as tools for fun!"

Seeing the atrocities of the Yuan Dynasty on the light screen.

Liu Che's teeth were almost broken.

He began to hope in his heart that Zhu Yuanzhang would succeed in his rebellion soon!

Let the Han people regain control of the country!

Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin snorted coldly:"Yuan Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, grassland How many times have humans ruled China? ?"

He couldn't bear it anymore.

It was sad enough for the grassland people to rule China once.

Unexpectedly, it happened more than once!

Li Shimin was furious. Now the Tang Dynasty already had the three-eyed firecrackers of the Ming Dynasty.

Establishing diplomatic relations with the grassland people?

What a dream!

"According to my decree, we will set out on the grassland in one month!"

"The crime is...They covet my country of Datang!"

"yes! *328"

The generals were so excited.

It was time to make great achievements again!

The Yuan Dynasty.

Kublai Khan was dumbfounded.

"What the hell?"

"Is my Yuan Dynasty destroyed?"

"Or he was killed by a Han!"

He couldn't believe it at all.

With the ferocity of the grassland people, could the Han people successfully rebel?

Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang recalled the painful experience of his youth

"When we were young, we just wanted to be a farmer, have two acres of land to farm, marry a wife, and live a stable life."

"But the Yuan Dynasty didn’t allow it"

"Not only did they kill my parents, they also plan to kill us too!"

"......"

As he spoke, he roared angrily:"The remnants of the Yuan Dynasty! We are incompatible with you! We are irreconcilable!" The more he spoke, the angrier he became.

He couldn't wait to go out to war immediately and kill all the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty.

Another dynasty.

The corners of Zhu Di's eyes were slightly moist.

My life has been rough enough.

Didn't get love when he was young.

When he grew up, he was not well-received and could only become a vassal king.

Protect my brother's country.

As a result, the feudal king could not do it either.

My brother's son wants to kill him.

After four years of hard work, he finally became the emperor and did not dare to rest.

It is really bitter.

But compare it with his father Zhu Yuanzhang.
