Chapter 719 Suspicion

Human life is worse than dogs, and it is a true portrayal in this era. At the beginning, Zhu Cilang would have been overwhelmed with love. He would instruct soldiers to distribute food to these refugees.

However, more and more refugees were coming, like a flood. Even if Zhu Cilang gave all his money, he could not change it. So he became numb.

This is very tormenting, and Zhu Cilang was tortured in his heart. He always felt that it was his fault. He was the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and the sin of their Zhu family.

The population in the late Ming Dynasty showed a cliff-like decline, although there was no specific official number. From the late Ming Dynasty Shenzong, the national power of the Ming Dynasty began to go up and down. At this time, the Later Jin Dynasty established by Nurhaci, the leader of the Jianzhou Jurchen tribe, rose rapidly and gradually became a major concern for the Ming Dynasty outside the pass.

In order to conquer the Later Jin Dynasty, Emperor Shenzong of Ming Dynasty levyed "Liao money" from the people. As a result, not only failed to eliminate Nurhaci, but instead, a large number of farmers went bankrupt due to the excessive tax collection, which laid the groundwork for large-scale civil unrest.

At the same time, the Later Jin attack on the Ming Dynasty became more fierce, and even entered the pass many times to sweep and loot, causing serious damage to the mainland. In the face of internal and external difficulties, Emperor Chongzhen could only collect the "three wages" of Liao wages from the people with endless natural disasters, and train wages, and suppressed wages. As a result, not only failed to solve the problem, but also intensified various contradictions.

In addition, Emperor Chongzhen was stubborn and suspicious and manic, which made the situation even more uncontrollable.

On March 19, just two days after Li Zicheng arrived at the city of Beijing, the Minister of War Zhang Jinyan presented the city to surrender, causing the capital to fall. On that day, Emperor Chongzhen was desperate and hanged himself in Coal Mountain. Before his death, Emperor Chongzhen forced Empress Zhang and Concubine Yuan to hang himself, and personally chopped and killed the young daughter Princess Zhaoren and several concubines, and injured the eldest daughter Princess Kunxing. The scene was terrible.

These are all things Zhu Cilang doesn't want to see. So he has to use his strength to work hard to change the world.

Seeing that he was about to do it, he killed Zhu Cilang and defeated Huang Taiji. Only the last one was left, and the victory was close. However, a transfer order from the court made him difficult.

The suppression of the enemy consumed all the national strength and did not continue to pacify Zhang Xianzhong. If Zhang Xianzhong was eliminated in the future, the court would have to pay a huge price. This price consumed the wealth of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Chongzhen went to Kunning Palace. Empress Zhou was as careful as she found that her husband's expression was wrong. She couldn't help but comfort her: "Long live, you are worried about the government again. I heard that Ci Yang made great contributions and killed Li Zicheng, a thief who had been in trouble for more than ten years."

Princess Kunxing has grown up and has the shyness of a girl. She jumped over and walked over, hugged her mother's neck and looked at Chongzhen: "Father, my brother is really amazing. Everyone in the palace is talking about him. I heard that my brother is going to enter Sichuan, right?"

Emperor Chongzhen's face looked ugly. He wanted to relax in Kunning Palace. When Empress Zhou and his daughter said this, those who opened their mouths and shut up praised Zhu Cixuan. Even the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were talking about it everywhere, which was a good thing.
