Zhu Youzhen kissed Zheng Yuelin's pink lips with pity, Zhang Huiyi is still in Daming General Hospital, the war in North Korea is swallowing gold every day, Daming is on the verge of collapsing at any time, far from being as calm as he usually appears.

Zheng Yuelin listened to the emperor's heartbeat very fast, although she saw that his face was calm as usual, she could also understand his anxiety and restlessness at this time, this is the unique wisdom of a smart woman, she gently leaned her pink face on the emperor's face, "The emperor doesn't think about other things, one qiē puts state affairs first, and one qiē will slowly get better." ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, a little lacking in confidence, he didn't lose his self-confidence, but this shape was too severe, even if he was confident that he could firmly hold the area he controlled in his hands, but could Da Ming resist such a big pressure? Da Ming and him, now there is no way out, although the shape is much better than the nine years of Chongzhen in the previous life, but there is a feeling that there is not enough time, and it still oppresses the nerves of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen all the time!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen looked at a potted plant in front of him, a little shaky, there was a pot of bamboo on his dragon case, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen liked bamboo very much, although he didn't think he was a gentleman, but it didn't make him not appreciate.

The potted plant is watered by his own hands every day, to bask in the sun but not for a long time, just so stubbornly growing, but not too big, but often retouched, can not be cut too much, otherwise it is not good-looking, can not be left too long, otherwise it will not look good.

"Don't worry about me, you know? The more you comfort me like this. The more I think you're underestimating me. Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen gently stroked Zheng Yuelin's pink back. Smell her hair. If other women told him like this, he would laugh it off at most, and he wouldn't tell what he had in mind, but he felt that he had gradually given his whole body and mind to Zheng Yuelin, and he liked this feeling.

Zheng Yuelin smiled, "Of course the concubine knows that saying this is actually useless, or can't help it?" But when the concubine first came. I went to look at the account books of the household department, last quarter, Daming's tax has increased more than ten times compared with previous years, as long as the trade with Europe can last for three years, and when the train is opened, north-south transportation is no longer a problem, Daming's strength is enough to deal with any disaster. Therefore, the concubines are by no means worried that the emperor will not be able to stand up, but to cheer up the emperor. ”

Experiencing the feeling of Zheng Yuelin handing over her whole body and mind to herself, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but be moved. tightened the beauty in his arms and gently stroked Zheng Yuelin's soft waist. Thinking that for the sake of his career, he and Zheng Yuelin should have had a child, Zhang Huiyi didn't know that she was the emperor, and was persuaded by him not to have children for the time being, and Zheng Yuelin took the initiative to propose not to have children for the time being, which also moved the emperor even more.

Zhu Youjian smiled bitterly, the trade with Europe is definitely not able to survive for three years, not to survive, but people everywhere are not stupid, once it is found that wealth is constantly being sucked by the Daming, it is impossible to sit idly by, once the Netherlands, Britain and Portugal are united, the situation will be very different, and what is even more terrible is that within this year, Xiaoice River will reach a peak, so the collapse of the Chongzhen Dynasty is no longer the time! The geographical advantage is no longer good, a large agricultural country is too dependent on celestial phenomena, only the development of industry, at any cost to take the road of industrial construction, is the only way that the Ming can take. And Hehe is the only direction he can move now, and he wants to ensure that Daming does not disperse.

and Zheng Yuelin warmed up for a while, so that the emperor's heart did not calm down much, such a feeling of being too late, too late, too late, so that Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen has a kind of crazy obsession, he likes this feeling, life and death are extreme, the whole country, maybe he is the only one who has such a feeling, if it was in the previous life, he would be very lonely, very helpless, and have a sense of desolation, but in this life Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen has become extremely powerful, he will never feel desolate, as long as he can stabilize the political situation, He believes that with the sphere of influence he currently controls, almost equal to the twelve provinces in the future, most of China is under his control, and the population is close to 80 million, and he has many articles to do, because the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian believes that the power of the Chinese is infinite! Although China's current environment is far inferior to that of Mao Taizu's later period, he is still full of confidence!

1637 is a common year, the year of Ding Chou in the lunar calendar, and the tenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty.

The Chongzhen drought refers to a major drought that occurred in 1637~1643. The duration of the drought and the extent of the drought have not been seen in the past 500 years. Twenty-three provinces in northern and southern China have been hit by severe drought. The main areas of drought and lack of rain are in North China, Hebei, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Shandong, these areas have been dry for more than 5 years, and Henan Province, where the center of the arid area is located, has been in drought for 7 years, with drought being the most rampant in 1640. In the early stage of the drought event, there was a pattern of drought in the north and flood in the south, and the arid area expanded to the east and south year by year. After 1640, rainfall increased in the north, turning into flooding in the north and drought in the south. During this period, plagues and locust plagues were rampant.

In the last 1,000 years, China's first low temperature period was in the 12th century, which was the first time that China's climate changed sharply from the previous continuous warmth (about 400 years). The second low temperature period occurred from the end of the 13th century to the first half of the 14th century. The third low temperature period appeared near the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. The fourth low temperature period occurred in the 17th century and was the coldest in the last 1,000 years. The orange orchards in Jiangxi, which had been paid annual tribute since the Tang Dynasty, were completely destroyed in two severe frost damages in 1654 and 1676 AD. The great drought of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty was in this period. The fifth low temperature period was in the mid-to-late 19th century.

For more than 200 years from the 15th to the 17th century, the world was in a Xiaoice climate, with many strong earthquakes in the world and other natural disasters (such as plague epidemics), which was also the sunspot Mondetta minimum. Solar activity was at a minimum, and it is often cited as the cause of the Xiaoice climate. The Chongzhen drought was in this period. The "Xiaoice Period" encountered by the Ming Dynasty, especially the last period of 1580-1644, was the coldest period in the millennium. According to scholars (such as Zhu Kezhen, etc.), in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, that is, after 1500, the temperature dropped suddenly, and the lowest stage of temperature was the period at the end of the Ming Dynasty - 1600 to 1644. During this time, the temperature plummeted to its lowest point in a thousand years. The year 1628, when Chongzhen ascended the throne, happened to be in the middle of the coldest period, and the temperature warmed up around 1650 after the fall of the Ming Dynasty. From the beginning of "Wanli" to the "Chongzhen" period, it happened to be the beginning and end of the extremely cold period.

The Chongzhen drought is the longest-lasting, largest-scale, and most affected drought in the past 500 years. The drought spread to 20 provinces (municipalities), most areas in the north continued to suffer drought for 4 to 8 years, starting in northern Shaanxi in 1637, and finally in Hunan in 1646, the severe drought area was in the Yellow River and Haihe River, involving 15 provinces (regions) in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River basin, and the drought-stricken areas were connected together.

The natural variation of the Chongzhen drought is very obvious, and the Yellow River and Haihe River basins continue to have little rainfall. In 1640, the annual rainfall was less than 300 mm, and from May to September it was less than 200 mm. The rainfall in North China in 1640 and 1641 was much lower than that of the three years of natural disasters (1959~1960). The precipitation anomaly in 1637~1643 also showed a sharp downward trend in 1637, reaching a record low in 1640 and improving in 1643.

The great drought in Chongzhen developed gradually, mainly in North China and Northwest China in 1637, and expanded south to Anhui, Suzhou and other provinces in 1638. The disaster records of many counties in the northern region show that in 1640 there was a severe drought in several provinces, and there was a cannibalistic extreme drought in the core arid areas such as Shanxi, Gansu, and Hebei. Shanxi Fenshui is cut off, and Linfen even has "wind and haze" in summer, that is, continuous sandstorms. The rivers in the Haihe River basin have been cut off, and locust plagues and epidemics have occurred in most counties of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan along with the drought, and more than 80 percent of the people in Gansu Province have died.

It can be said that the natural disasters faced by Emperor Zhu Youzhen of Chongzhen are unprecedented to any emperor in history!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen deeply knows what is the catastrophe of the Ming Dynasty, so in the foreign struggle, his economic investment has always been reserved, even if he has reached a crazy point, he still does not dare to use all the resources on foreign wars, first of all, the imperial court is a loss, as for the historical role, of course, it is very big, but in front of him, if he invests too much in the Korean battlefield, his economy will be paralyzed.

"Your Majesty, the old slave has urgent business." Wang Chengen's voice sounded outside the office.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen let go of Zheng Yuelin in his arms, and Zheng Yuelin signaled to herself if she wanted to avoid it?

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen shook his head, "From today onwards, you will also be with me during the day, and you have already entered the cabinet, which is justifiable." ”

Zheng Yuelin nodded and stood aside, she also wanted to be able to share more worries for the emperor.

Wang Chengen came in and saw that Zheng Yuelin was also there, not surprised, he knew every state of the emperor, and nodded to Zheng Yuelin, because there was no official canonization, so there was no need to meet the concubine.

Zhu Youzhen took the urgent matter from Wang Chengen's hand, and his brows furrowed. (To be continued......)
