As everyone knows, there are three major phenomena that will inevitably occur in the last years of a dynasty. The first is the depletion of armaments.
Secondly, corrupt officials are rampant, and thirdly, ordinary people are extremely poor.
The world is impermanent, and the constant movement of the earth causes cyclical changes in climate.
Many people have found through research that climate was a major factor in the fall of the Chinese dynasty.
Zhu Youjian knew that there were indeed factors, but this was just the last straw that broke the dynasty.
Let’s not talk about other things, let’s just say that the slaves were rampant. In the early Ming Dynasty, how long could the slaves be able to survive?
If the privet is less than 10,000, they will be invincible. Even if they give them 1 million soldiers, they will probably be beaten by the Ming Dynasty.
But then again, how big was the population in the early Ming Dynasty? Why was it that the supply of the common people and the army could be guaranteed at that time, but before Zhu Youjian ascended the throne, the officers and soldiers had no meal at all, and arrears of pay were even more common?
The bottom line is that the government and businessmen are colluding, hoping to become a slave to the country's subjugation as soon as possible.
Of course, those people will definitely not admit that they wish to become slaves of the country as soon as possible, and they will even talk about benevolence, justice and morality, and talk nonsense.
But when the national crisis really comes, I will kneel down faster than anyone else. And at least half of the people who are unwilling to be slaves of the subjugated country will be tortured to death by them first.
"I will defend the Ming Dynasty to the death. First update@" Soon a shrewd general shouted.
Because in their opinion, the emperor was testing them.
After all, no emperor wants to be robbed by others.
"I know your loyalty. What I said about changing the emperor is not really asking you to rebel. Rather, I hope that if I am gone that day, I hope that you can become the pillar of the new emperor. If the emperor is fatuous, it will be a big deal. Just replace it.
But I don't want you to eat the salary of the imperial court and finally surrender to the alien race.
I don’t want you to interfere in politics either.
The non-interference of civilian officials in the military and the non-involvement of the military in politics are the basis for the stability of the dynasty. "
"No one is a saint, and no one can make mistakes. I will formulate a code for the emperor, a code for officials, and a code for sergeants in the future. Whoever commits a crime should be punished according to the rules."
Zhu Youjian said.
Law is the basis for the continuation of a country. A suitable law can make a country go further.
Of course, this law must ensure that it will not succumb to power.
Otherwise, no matter how good the system or the law is, it will eventually become a tool to oppress the people.
This is not a possibility, but a necessity.
“The world is not just my world, but also the world of millions of people of the Ming Dynasty.
The rise and fall of the world is related to the vital interests of every Ming Dynasty person.
As the old saying goes, it is better to be a dog in a prosperous age than a person in troubled times. However, if there is peace for a long time, there will always be people who want to cause chaos for their own selfish purposes. Most of these people are those in high positions.
For their own benefit, they do not hesitate to be slaves to the subjugation of their country. The final step in their plan is to destroy the country's guardians, the army.
And some soldiers are so stupid that they think that if others give them money and occasionally give them face, they are their confidants and one of their own. Those who want to be slaves to the subjugation of the country, give him some money or other things, and he will become an accomplice of those people. In this way, the army and the emperor are separated, and they can embezzle military pay without any scruples, and frame loyal ministers and good generals. Become a slave to subjugation as soon as possible. "
Zhu Youjian said.
