Damn it!
WTF?
Wang Chao woke up and found that he had traveled through time.
Time traveled to Emperor Longqing.
A very unpopular era name, isn't it?
Yes, not only is the emperor's reign unpopular, but his name is also controversial.
In some historical materials, his name is Zhu Zaihe.
In some historical materials, his name is Zhu Zaijing.
When you see this surname, if you are smart, you already know that this is an emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
He is indeed not very famous among the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and has little sense of existence in history.
But the people around him are more famous than the others.
His father is Jiajing.
His son is Wanli.
His cabinet team was Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng.
There were also officials such as Hai Rui, Qi Jiguang, Li Chunfang, etc.
"That's not bad!" Wang Chao thought, "With so many capable ministers, I can be the emperor of peace with peace of mind!"
But sadly, he was the emperor with the third shortest reign in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Ming Guangzong, who reigned for one month, and Ming Renzong, who reigned for ten months, were the first and second shortest.
This man succeeded to the throne at the age of 30 and died young at the age of 36.
It is said that he was still lying on the woman's body when he died...
The age when he died can be said to be the average lifespan of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, there were only 7 emperors who lived past the age of 40.
More than half of the emperors died in their 30s!
And many of them died inexplicably.
As we all know, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were easily soluble in water. Two died of falling into the water, two died of taking elixirs, and one died of illness. The rest were exhausted by wine and sex and died of overwork.
In a word, they all died suddenly and violently, and most of them left in a hurry.
There are only a few people like Lao Zhu, Yongle, Jiajing, and Wanli who lived to be 50-60 years old.
There are also a series of dangerous incidents such as fires in the palace, big explosions, palace maids choking, door-breaking incidents, etc.
In general, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was a high-risk profession.
It’s hard to be the emperor of the Lao Zhu family!
Thinking of this, Wang Chao's excitement and happiness that he had just traveled through time and become the emperor were swept away.
In his previous life, Wang Chao was a history blogger who wrote articles and posted videos. He died a very tragic and wronged death.
He is so handsome that he is so handsome.
No kidding, he is really handsome.
I had just washed my hair and went to the balcony to get some air. When I was admiring my beautiful face on the window glass, I slipped and fell from the 18th floor.
Just tell me if he died because of his handsomeness!
He now had the feeling of fear and excitement of free fall in his mind.
At this time, my own memory and the memory of my body began to merge.
It felt like there was water in my head, and the top of my head was very cold.
Wang Chao sighed and had to accept the fact that he had become Zhu Zaijing.
Now that you have come, make peace with it. Since there is no way to go back, then just be the emperor.
From now on he is Zhu Zaijing!
What? Why not call it Longqing?
Can't I write one more word...
The number of code words is not shabby!
Author: We are such an upright and upright person!
Longqing Emperor Zhu Zaijing, what should I say about this man?
He didn't like to take matters into his own hands. Historically, he didn't care whether Xu Jie, Gao Gong, or Zhang Juzheng were fighting with each other, and he also listened to his ministers on major national affairs.
Even though he was a good old man like Song Renzong, many people looked down upon him when he was still King Yu. Even the minor officials who paid salaries in the Ministry of Household Affairs dared to show off their power in front of him.
To put it nicely, you are an honest person, but to put it worse, you are a coward!
Originally, the throne had nothing to do with him. Emperor Jiajing had eight sons, all of whom were not legitimate sons. Among them, he ranked third.
He is neither the legitimate son nor the eldest son, and his mother is not favored, so naturally there is no good attitude towards him in Jiajing.
But of his seven brothers, only three, including him, grew up, and the other two died before him. In the end, he changed from the third oldest to the only one.
Jiajing disliked him very much, so he was always submissive when he was the prince. Even a minor official dared to show his displeasure. Even when Jiajing died, he did not clearly want to pass the throne to him.
The imperial edict of passing the throne was written by Xu Jie. Jiajing did not order the edict of passing the throne to be written before his death.
In the end, Jiajing died, and as his only surviving heir, the throne fell to him.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty was experiencing concentrated outbreaks of both internal problems and external threats.
Internal problems include serious land annexation, less and less tax revenue, continuous absorption of national wealth by civil servants and landowners, more and more vassals, serious corruption, etc.
External problems include the threat of Mongolia in the north, Japanese pirates in the south, countries in the Western Regions and Southeast Asia are also constantly turbulent on the borders of the Ming Dynasty, and even further, European colonists have begun to march into Asia...
This situation cannot be said to be caused by internal and external troubles, but it is at least internal and external troubles.
"Great Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Zaijing sighed, "How many people have regrets in their hearts!"
Of course, the feudal dynasties were no better and were essentially abominable.
But the Ming Dynasty is so special because it is the last Han dynasty.
The second reason is the background of the braid dynasty at the back.
No matter how bad the Ming Dynasty was, at least its external attitude was countless times better than that of the Braided Dynasty.
China's backwardness began to widen the gap with the West in the late Ming Dynasty, but it was not very large and far from being completely unable to catch up.
The Hongyi cannon imported from the West in the late Ming Dynasty could be copied by the Ming Dynasty itself, and the level was quite good.
In the naval battle with the Portuguese, these imitation cannons shined.
Moreover, although the Ming Dynasty also implemented a maritime ban, foreign learning and acceptance never stopped.
It is not like the braid dynasty that is indifferent to world trends, turns a blind eye, covers its ears and pretends to be deaf.
After pretending for so long, I even believed it.
I’ve brought my own national conditions here!
When the braided army faced the later Westerners with strong ships and cannons, the firearms they brought out were all from the late Ming Dynasty!
If they were to face them tomorrow, they might not be their opponents, but would the gap be that big?
Will there be a situation where people will kneel down at the speed of light and have to cede territory and pay compensation if they win?
Will there still be alienation, enslavement and destruction of Chinese culture?
Look at the Ming Dynasty. Although several neighboring countries occasionally disobeyed and often made trouble, they still recognized his status as the leader of the Confucian cultural circle, such as North Korea and Vietnam.
Looking at the subsequent braided dynasty, none of these neighboring countries were willing to suffer for a while.
They even have a small-China consciousness and believe that Chinese orthodoxy lies with them. You can just say how "good" the popularity of the Braided Dynasty is.
Zhu Zaijing thought of this and understood his historical mission.
If we say that the shortcomings of the two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty broke out in full force during the Chongzhen dynasty, and natural and man-made disasters followed one after another, it could not be corrected without human power.
Then Tianqi and the Wanli Dynasty were the last chance for Ming Dynasty to save itself.
Now, in the Longqing Dynasty, it is the last chance for Ming Dynasty to dominate East Asia, and it is also the last chance to keep up with the world trend.
After that, the Ming Dynasty was no longer able to expand externally and expand its living space.
Dominate East Asia!
This is Zhu Zaijing's historical mission.
It’s also the reason why I traveled through time!
Dominate East Asia and occupy every land! Expand the living space of the Chinese nation! Leave a vast empire to future generations!
Give the land to your children and grandchildren.
Take down the living space.
Of course, there is also the island country...
For the island country, Zhu Zaijing will definitely kill them all.
Otherwise, what's the point of traveling across time?
If you don’t beat up the island country, why would you cross over there?
Leave such a poisonous snake that covets the land of China all the time to future generations?
Let this poisonous snake continue to threaten future generations on the side of the bed?
I would rather suffer temporary infamy than benefit future generations!
It is now the sixteenth century, the Age of Discovery has begun, and Portugal and Spain in Europe have begun global colonization.
Daming must follow suit!
Look at the descendants of the Anglo-Saxons in later generations.
Isn't it because of the plunder and colonization of their ancestors that their happy life is possible?
Is it because of their developed status?
Is colonial expansion and invasion right?
wrong.
Okay?
That's so damn good!
"I swear, in this time and space, the people of China will never be taken advantage of by others again!"
"I will definitely create a great Ming Dynasty on which the sun never sets!"
"God bless China!"
