I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

【If the Ming Dynasty's subjugated king Chongzhen was replaced by Zhu Yuanzhang, could the Ming Dynasty be saved?】

"able! I believe Lao Zhu, no matter how bad the situation is, can it be worse than the first bowl?"

"cannot! The problems in the late Ming Dynasty were so serious that even Lao Zhu couldn't solve them"

"I think it can. For a tough guy like Lao Zhu, there’s absolutely no problem."

"This small situation, with Lao Zhu's ability, is not something that can be grasped in his hands."

"Don't be superstitious about individuals, use a materialistic attitude to analyze. The end of Ming Dynasty is a matter of hard work and has little to do with personal ability."

"Who said that? At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it really didn’t reach the point where it was hard to recover. It was just Chongzhen Taicai."

"……"

Amid various barrages, the video continues to play

【To answer this question, we must first analyze the specific crisis in the late Ming Dynasty. ]

In various dimensions before Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were all staring at the giant screen.

Through the many videos they had seen before, they already knew that the Ming Dynasty was destroyed. Those who should be angry have already been angry, so they are relatively calm at the moment.

They want to see now, what are the specific reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty?

【The core problem: poverty, the court has no money】

【From the 64th year of Wanli to the 7th year of Tianqi, during these ten years, the Ming Dynasty spent about 60 million taels of silver on military expenditures in the Liaodong region, which averaged about 6 million taels a year.】

【During the Wanli period, the average fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty was about 14 million taels of silver.】

【Excluding the expenses of the royal family and the expenses of the clan, only four to five million taels of silver can be transferred to the national treasury.】

"The burden of supporting the feudal kings and clans is too heavy. I have read a historical record that it is said that in the late Ming Dynasty, the annual expenditure on supporting the clans and feudal clans accounted for nearly 30% of the Ming Dynasty's annual fiscal revenue."

"Well, who could afford the millions of descendants of the clan in the late Ming Dynasty?"

"These vassal clans are the vampires and parasites of the Ming Dynasty"

"By the late Ming Dynasty, it was estimated that the fiscal revenue of a province was no longer enough to support the royal family of the province."

"One thing to say, this matter has something to do with Zhu Di's captivity of the feudal kings. Those feudal kings had nothing to do every day, and they only knew how to eat, drink, have fun and have children."

"Lao Zhu is also at fault. The policies he set are too good for his descendants."

"Lao Zhu and Zhu Di probably didn't expect that the royal family of later generations would be so capable of producing children."

"The history of the Ming Dynasty has long said that when a clan member is ten years old, he will be granted a title. If you give birth to a general who governs the country, he will be rewarded with thousands of stones. If you give birth to ten generals, you will be rich in wealth and wealth.……The wealth of money and wealth is so great that one must take in concubines and control hundreds of men. If you were the vassal king, you would create people every day"

"……"

The plane of Taizu of Ming Dynasty, the plane of Chengzu of Ming Dynasty

"The imperial court wants to support millions of clan children? ?"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di looked at the huge screen in the sky from different planes, with extremely shocked expressions on their faces.

This amount is so astonishing, no wonder the court in the late Ming Dynasty would have no money.

Then, their faces became extremely solemn, such a big The imperial court will never be able to bear the financial burden.

"It must change."

The two of them made the same decision in different planes.

The policy towards the vassal king must be adjusted, and they cannot follow the same old path. They cannot leave such big trouble to the Ming emperors in future generations.

【Did you see that this little money is not enough to cover Liaodong’s military expenditure for a year?】

【According to historical records, in the sixth year of Wanli, the fiscal deficit of the Ming Dynasty reached 1,573,915 taels, and the revenue and expenditure was already seriously unbalanced.】

【After Chongzhen came to power, Ming Dynasty's financial crisis became more serious】

【Excluding various expenditures, the average amount flowing into the national treasury is only three hundred taels of silver, and the closer to the late Chongzhen period, the lower the national treasury income becomes.】

【And what is Chongzhen’s plan to solve this problem? It is to increase taxes on the people, that is, to increase the salary of three. For example, the Liao salary increased from 5.2 million taels to more than 9 million taels.】

【There are also additional suppression and training salaries sent to quell the chaos. They are all frantically squeezing and plundering the people.】

【During the Wanli period, the national border tax was only 2.8 million. However, during the Chongzhen period, it increased to more than 20 million, which shows the severity of Chongzhen's tax increase.】

【It was not until eight days before Meishan was hanged that Chongzhen promulgated the edict of sinners, saying,"I will not be exempted from sending three additional pays." Of course it was too late by then.】

【In fact, in the ninth year of Chongzhen's reign, a martial arts student named Li Jing petitioned"Sou Kuo Ministers and Prime Ministers to help pay", that is, to ask officials to fund the imperial court. However, Chongzhen did not agree, and instead adopted the suggestion of Yang Sichang, the Minister of War, to increase the salary.】

"Officials have money, but they don't know how to spend it. Chongzhen doesn't have the ability or courage to deal with them."

"Chongzhen was too eager for quick success and always wanted to quickly solve the Liaodong problem, but ended up getting deeper and deeper into trouble."

"In fact, the late Ming Dynasty was not really poor. After the Qing army entered the customs, they confiscated the properties of those officials and wealthy businessmen, and they easily saved millions of taels of silver."

"This is the reason. In the late Ming Dynasty, the court was poor and the people were poor, but the officials and gentry were not poor."

"……"

"Extremely stupid!"

The plane of Taizu of Ming Dynasty and the plane of Chengzu of Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di from different planes cursed almost at the same time.

Chongzhen's approach will undoubtedly completely lose the people's support and force the people to rebel. It is really stupid!
