Gao Yang retracted his gaze and shook his head slightly, his expression a little gloomy. 《.. It is sad and lamentable, that the family of the emperor who is rich from all over the world has fallen into such a field.

Even the royal family who controls the whole world is mixed up like this, so what miserable situation do the ordinary people under the world have to become? How many people are living in dire straits at this moment?! What will they be like?

The Chinese nation and the Ming Empire have fallen to this point, which is really an unfortunate result caused by many factors that can make people speechless.

The first is natural disasters. The end of the Ming Dynasty is exactly at the end of the Xiaoice period. The weather was cold, the light was reduced, and food production shrank significantly. Great floods, droughts, and locust plagues have been wreaking havoc in turn, and the country has been tormented and miserable.

These natural disasters not only caused a large number of hungry people within the Ming Empire, but also inspired large-scale riots in order to eat enough to survive. The external environment also made it impossible for the Jurchens, who had been in a state of half-farming and half-hunting, to survive, forcing them to go out on a large scale to loot and make a living. These are natural disasters and are irresistible forces.

And then there's the **. This ** can be traced back to the three major expeditions in the Wanli period. The Battle of Ningxia, the Battle of Banju, the Battle of Korea. All three of these large-scale military campaigns ended with a resounding victory for the Ming Empire. The significance is extremely important!

The Battle of Ningxia relieved the Mongol threat to the north and allowed the Nine Sides to maintain peace and tranquility for decades.

The Battle of Banzhou eliminated the constant harassment of the Central Plains Dynasty by the Tusi in the southwest in one fell swoop. This battle not only almost wiped out the restless Zhumiao tribe, but the follow-up influence lasted for hundreds of years! After this battle, the Southwest Zhumiao almost never rebelled against the Central Plains Dynasty again!

And the most significant battle is naturally the Battle of Korea, which is constantly mentioned even hundreds of years later. The impact of this battle is too far-reaching, even hundreds of years later, with the cheekiness of the first power in the universe, he will not dare to tamper with this history! Suffice it to know how profound it is for the whole of Asia.

Once the Korean War was lost, it was very likely that the Japanese would enter the customs more than 300 years ahead of schedule and launch a large-scale war of aggression against China. In that case, the entire history of Asia will be completely rewritten. There is a real possibility that the thousand-year-old wish of the Japanese to land on the mainland will be realized! Because at that time, the Jurchens in the Northeast were on the rise. There is a good chance that they will be in league with the Japanese, as they did three hundred years later.

The two Korean wars crushed the strongest army polished by Japan's hundreds of years of civil war, and also destroyed the last ambitions of a generation of heroes Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Later, as soon as Toyotomi Hideyoshi died, Japan, which was busy with civil strife and seized power, no longer had the strength to continue their mainland policy. After Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was a tortoise, seized power in Japan, he had to carry out a policy of closing the country to recuperate because of the continuous expeditions to Korea and being beaten by the Ming army. However, his descendants were very uncompetitive, and really thought that he was trying to close off the country, so they locked the whole of Japan until the Meiji Restoration. It also locked up the hope of the rise of the Japanese!

Think of it, an island nation of a maritime nature. If you were hundreds of years in advance, you would have attacked everywhere at the beginning of the Age of Discovery. And not wait until the time of the Second World War. What would that look like? The history of the whole world is in high probability that it will be rewritten!

The Korean War saved all Asian countries!

As the boss of Asia, the Ming Empire should do these things. But the price is terrifying. These three battles greatly damaged the vitality of the Ming Empire. Large-scale operations cost countless amounts of money, which directly led to the emptiness of the treasury. The emptiness of the treasury laid the groundwork for the subsequent large-scale levy that eventually forced the people who could not survive to rebel on a large scale.

Another price is that most of the most elite troops and fierce generals of the Ming Empire were lost in these wars.

For example, the death of Li Rusong and others paved the way for the rise of Nurhachi in the future. And Deng Zilong and the famous Korean naval general Yi Sunsin died in the Battle of Lulianghai, which directly led to the collapse of the Ming Empire and its allies' naval army! Never recovered! (You may think that the ancient navy was useless.) But in fact, the ancient navy played a great role! Whether it is sea transportation or barrage, it is inseparable from the naval army. When the Manchu Qing swept the world after entering the customs, if a powerful naval army had blocked all the way, the Yellow River might have been frozen, but they would never have been able to cross the Yangtze River! Moreover, the conditions at sea in ancient times were extremely harsh, and they were able to become more brave than one by one sailors. Once ashore. Those are really strong soldiers! Another point to be said is that modern Koreans boast every day for the sake of self-esteem because their country is small and the people are poor. But in the era of being a vassal state. That's really treating the Central Plains Dynasty as the boss. The Manchus conquered Korea three times, and finally forced Korea to surrender after severing all contacts. North Korea is much stronger than the bastard vassals on the other side of the South Seas! During the Battle of Lulianghai, the deputy commander-in-chief Deng Zilong died in battle. At that time, the situation of the war was already very favorable, and the Japanese sailors were about to be completely defeated. But Yi Sunsin wanted to avenge Deng Zilong. fought all the way, and finally died at sea. At that time, Joseon was very respectful and loyal to the Central Plains Dynasty. ）

The treasury was empty, and the elite troops suffered heavy losses. In particular, most of the elite troops and fierce generals in the Northeast region were lost in the Korean War. This led directly to Nurhachi's rapid rise in the northeast. The Japanese and the Taka complement each other. Similar to the period of the war of aggression against China hundreds of years later, the Central Plains Dynasty was dragged into the abyss of darkness little by little!

Another thing that has to be said about the fall of the Ming Dynasty is that the scholar group at that time was very murderous, and the degree of corruption was completely outrageous! Even the logistical supplies sent to the front line of the battlefield dare to be greedy. It doesn't matter where you're sending it or what you're doing. Directly deduct three percent first, and then say, it is also called 'drifting'.

At that time, almost all the officials in the world looked like this. No matter where you go, no matter what you want to do, talk about money first. There is a natural disaster outside**, and the people are hungry. One by one, these officials don't care at all, they take any money, and they dare to take it. They dared to take the logistical supplies and salaries of the front-line fighting army, but as a result, the sergeants had no intention of fighting, and the battle of Salhu was lost. They dared to take the money for the relief of the victims, which directly led to the starvation of millions of people, and then even more people raised the anti-flag!

In this case, the Ming Emperor had no choice. They can only choose to let their house slaves do things. As a result, it led to the dictatorship of the eunuchs.

All of this, this continuous natural disaster** is like a well-written movie script. Step by step, the Ming Empire and the entire Chinese nation were dragged into the abyss!

After that, the fool Li Zicheng was carried away by the situation, claiming to be the emperor and thinking that he could command the world. Stupidly, he led the army all the way to Jingshi. Although he finally succeeded in occupying the capital and forcing Emperor Chongzhen to commit suicide, he also robbed countless gold and silver goods. However, what he did also completely shattered the last barrier of the entire Central Plains Dynasty against the southward movement of the northern alien races! He was incapable, and he opened the cage where the beast was imprisoned, but in the end, he killed everyone.

Three hundred years after that, the Dark Colonial Age! In the golden years when the whole world set off the Age of Discovery, the entire Chinese nation was reduced to a slave with a pig's tail! Watching small backward countries occupy the whole world! In the end, it was blasted open by the small country that looked down on it in the past, and it almost ended up being a dead country and extinction!

"Whew~~~" Gao Yang let out a long breath and slowly retracted his thoughts. Since I have come here, of course, all the tragedies after that must be stopped, and it is absolutely impossible to let them happen again! Not only that, but he also wants to completely transform the country, occupy the essence of the Age of Discovery, and completely rewrite all the history for the future!

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen's family and Chen Youdi were happily eating the dinner that Gao Yang had prepared for himself. As for Wang Chengen and the others, they could only stare dryly on the sidelines and swallow their saliva. Eunuchs and court maids are also human beings, and they also have to eat. It's a pity that the gap in status makes them only look at it now.

Gao Yang shook his head and stood up. He is not a kind-hearted philanthropist, and he wants to go up and help when he sees any kind of tragedy in the world. He couldn't help alone. All he can do is do things that are under his nose and are within his hands. It's like Chen Youdi, just like it.

There are countless materials in Gao Yang's storage space, what can it be to give these eunuchs and palace maids who are still trembling slightly some food? Wang Chengen is so old, with white hair on his head. It's like a restaurant hostess, with his hands in front of him. This made Gao Yang feel unfriendly when he looked at it, and frowned and took out some compressed food for them to eat.

"Thank you Immortal Gao!" Wang Chengen, who was extremely in awe of Gao Yang, immediately took the lead in kneeling down and bowing to Gao Yang. Anyone who has read history books knows that Wang Chengen is a person who is really good for Chongzhen. When the country was ruined, he was the only one who chose to be buried with his emperor. Wang Chengen, who was already like ashes, suddenly found that his master was about to turn over, and his gratitude to Gao Yang was really from the heart!

Compressed biscuits and purified water. Gao Yang didn't use these things himself, and he only carried them for those who needed them. Teach these people to tear the package and unscrew the lid at all. He smiled and said, "Don't eat too much." It's not that there isn't, but if you drink water after eating this food, it will bloate your stomach. ”

Gao Yang looked at these eunuchs and palace maids with green eyes and looked at the compressed biscuits. I didn't dare to give more, so I only gave one piece per person, plus a bottle of water. I'm afraid that they don't know anything and really eat a bloated stomach. (To be continued.) )
