Chapter 182: This year China is rich in eight emperors However, among the many people who dreamed of being emperors in the land of China during the seven years of Chongzhen, the boring old peasants playing house in the Liujiazhai "Han Empire" in Funiu Mountain were not the most outrageous.
After all, they gathered at least a few hundred people and occupied a small territory, and they were relatively clear-headed.
They did not rush to attack the county and kill officials in rebellion, so that after the "founding of the country", the "Han Empire" actually survived.
Many months.
In contrast, when Zhu Laosi, a great man from the countryside of Tongzhou, North Zhili Province, proclaimed himself emperor, he spent all his savings and opened a running banquet to recruit fasting martyrs from all over.
He spent two days gathering more than 80 old men.
Weak and sick, and then excitedly sent troops to attack the Forbidden City in Beijing.
Because all the funds have been used up, the running table cannot continue to operate.
If we don't act quickly to recover the money, these starving ghosts who have nothing to eat will die in a hurry.
Broken up As a result, this "Divine Han Emperor" led a group of hungry men and burned incense and prayed for a long time in front of Chengtian Gate.
The heavenly soldiers and generals were not invited, but a group of vicious Guan Ning cavalry came, and they immediately attacked with swords and guns.
Next, cut this mob down until they cry for their fathers and scream for their mothers, and their bodies will end up all over the street.
Of course, since everyone has become the emperor, as a man, in addition to fighting for the world, he will naturally not forget the seventy-two concubines and three thousand beauties in the three palaces and six courtyards.
Therefore, as soon as many imprudent emperors sit on the throne and claim to be a loner, they can't wait to start the draft with great fanfare.
Even if it is from a rural corner, even if the "empire" is just established and everything is simple, there will be at least 108 talents.
Women still need it What's more, some reckless emperors simply never thought about how to recruit troops from the beginning of their ascension to the throne.
Instead, they completely regarded beauty pageants as the foundation of their imperial career.
For example, in Ganyu County of the "Great Holy Kingdom" of Haizhou, there was a guy who seemed to be an actor.
He witnessed the farce of Xu Xin'er, the holy aunt of Mount Huaguo, who proclaimed himself emperor, so he got a dragon robe in the costume, and then decided to There were seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards, and three thousand beauties.
However, although he was penniless, he was handsome, and he was very good at deceiving people.
He insisted on making ridiculous claims, so there were actually people offering girls and money to come to his door to ask for an official position.
There was nothing he could do about it.
He even basically eliminated illiteracy and had great Internet knowledge.
In the exploding modern society, there are still many misguided "people who don't know the truth" and are deceived by various deception masters.
Well, in the feudal dynasty when scholars were very valuable, there were many kinds of ignorant people who were easy to be deceived.
It's a pity that this "actor emperor" has just made dozens of prime ministers and ministers, plus a dozen one-word kings.
The seventy-two concubines have not collected half of them.
The "Pingtian Great Sage" who got the news has already sent Ten ferocious minions, this group of emperors and generals were immediately dispersed.
Next, the extremely beautiful "actor emperor" was taken back by the gangsters to verify his identity and beheaded him.
Among the beautiful girls he selected, those with good looks were naturally adopted by the "Great Sage Pingtian" as his wife.
As for those with crooked melons and cracked dates, they were rewarded to their minions.
However, because today's world is really fragmented, located on the edge of the areas controlled by major forces, and there are many places that fall into an anarchic vacuum, so there are still many Cao Mang emperors and Caotai groups who have survived without being known, and brought this troubled world to the forefront.
Stirring becomes more and more turbid Wang Qiu, who had been hearing all kinds of related news about the unprecedented "national proclaimed emperor movement" in the seventh year of Chongzhen, just found it very interesting and ridiculous.
Because in his time, China had not had an emperor for a long time, and even the title of emperor was completely ruined by publicity.
According to the materialist scientific concept of history, in this era of great chaos, all emperors, emperors and princes are worthless.
As the saying goes, the big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the shrimp.
As long as there is a piece of land and some strength, anyone who is willing can be an emperor.
In fact, many famous emperors in history, such as Zhu Yuanzhang, Shi Le, Hong Xiuquan, etc., seem to have come through the same way.
Don't laugh at the second brother.
However, the Ming Dynasty Confucian scholars in this time and space did not see it that way.
In their minds, the title of emperor obviously held great importance.
You must know that since the time of the First Emperor, Chinese intellectuals have become accustomed to having an emperor above their heads.
They were born to "protect the emperor and protect the country", and they couldn't even imagine how they would live their lives without the emperor.
But the problem is that what they don’t know is how they can find their own value in life in this new world where there are emperors everywhere.
Originally, on the land of East Asia, no matter how unruly and arrogant the small foreign countries were, in general, from the perspective of political influence, no one could deny that the emperor of China was "the proud son of heaven". ", is the supreme king of the center.

The title of emperor represents the guardian of civilization and sanctity.
Facing the monarchs of surrounding countries, he has a crushing appeal.
As the saying goes, "In the whole world, everything is the land of the king, and on the shore of the land, there is nothing but the king's ministers."
Whoever has the sacred title of "Emperor" is the supreme ruler who dominates all the nations in the East.
Although every turbulent time in the Central Plains where heroes are divided, the aura of the title "Emperor" will fade a lot.
But the great unification that followed would make the emperor's authority of the Chinese Emperor shine brightly, sweeping across the entire East Asia like a dazzling light that could not be seen directly.
However, the current situation in China is extremely bizarre.
The entire traditional imperial structure is falling apart to a greater extent than the previous Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
There are as many as a dozen emperors with national popularity.
As for the various types of reckless emperors, they are too numerous to count.
As a result, the level of entry-level certification for Chinese emperors has experienced a subversive plummet.
There is no longer a need to pay attention to bloodline and family status, or even "the one with strong soldiers and horses can be the emperor", but the real "The emperor takes turns, come to my house next year" According to the principle of market supply and demand, once there are too many emperors, it will definitely become less valuable.
Just imagine, when a certain future emperor is strutting through the market with full ceremonial flags, shouting from front to back, and loud gongs and drums, an old cattle herder watching the excitement on the street said disapprovingly: The emperor is nothing.
Damn it, I was two The uncle, my third cousin, my cousin-in-law, my fifth uncle with rheumatism, and my cousin’s idiot son all became emperors.
If it weren’t for the fact that my family was already in ruins at that time, and we had no money to entertain guests with flowing water, he said Maybe I can get addicted to the emperor for once When the common people generally think that the emperor is just that, the sacred aura of the term "emperor" is very little left.
To give a similar example, in China in the 1990s, as long as you claimed to be the boss or general manager, everyone would immediately respect you.
But after entering the 21st century, many cats and dogs who don’t know where they came from are also real bosses or general managers.
For the Confucian scholars who were determined to "learn civil and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family," the current situation was really terrible.
In short, in the ideological confusion of the Central Plains scholars, the sanctity of imperial power under the traditional feudal monarchy suffered a devastating blow Although as a time traveler, Wang Qiu basically had an attitude of staying out and watching the monkey show towards this vigorous trend of proclaiming emperor in China.
But when he discovered that the Chinese League was not just watching the chaos unfolding, but actively stepping in to add fuel to the flames and consciously promote the further fragmentation of China, he finally felt that something was wrong.
Then, Political Commissar Guo told him frankly that according to the highest resolution of the Chinese League, it was indeed prepared to keep China in a long-term state of warlord war, and by the way destroy the original traditional feudal order and imperial authority: to turn the emperor into a rotten cabbage in China.
It is also one of the measures.
"The reason for making such a seemingly cruel decision is mainly due to the limitations of objective conditions.
Our strength is actually not as strong as it seems.
Indeed, with the military technology that is far ahead of the times, Huamen can easily do so at any time.
We can completely destroy any indigenous army on China's territory, but the problem is that at the same time, we do not have the cadre team and human resources to transform the entire traditional Chinese society.
If we want to conquer the Central Plains, it will definitely not be just a change of dynasty without changing the medicine, but an earth-shaking social change.
At the very least, we must eliminate the landlords and gentry and carry out land reform.
But land reform cannot be achieved through violence alone.
For example, the division of land needs to be re-measured, land deeds need to be re-produced, and the amount of tax apportionment must be accurately calculated, which requires a large and reliable team of cadres.
However, Huameng currently does not have that much talent reserve at all.
During the War of Liberation, various base areas had gone through eight years of bloody training and trained millions of grassroots cadres with excellent qualities and reliable ideas.
At the end of the Republic of China, the large landlords were already on the verge of bankruptcy and disintegration due to the destruction of successive wars and the looting of Chiang Kai-shek's government.
However, when land reform was launched to establish a new order, it was still so bloody and cruel.
Before the mainland strategy was launched, the total population of the entire Chinese League was less than one million, and the cadre team was even more stretched.
However, in just two years, it swallowed the entire Liaoning, basically complete Guangdong, half of Zhejiang, and a small half of Shandong, plus part of Guangxi.
Except for Liaodong, the rest of these areas have not experienced large-scale war damage.
They need the Chinese League to personally carry out land reform and kill the gentry.
How could they gather so many cadres in one time?
The result is still indigestion.
The Shandong front line has recently been destroyed.
Forced to give up Jinan and return to Qingzhou Prefecture Since we can’t swallow the elephant with the snake for a while, we simply let China continue to be in chaos so that it can gradually encroach upon it when conditions permit.”
When it comes to the Revolutionary War, laymen look at tactics, while experts look at logistics.
If you rush to be a "savior" without preparing enough supplies and management personnel, you will most likely end up becoming the second "Khmer Rouge": those Cambodian revolutionaries greedy for fame and liberated the capital Phnom Penh too quickly and prematurely.
But they were neither prepared to take over the city's cadres, nor were they prepared to feed the two million urban population.

Faced with the imperialist blockade and impending famine, the urban population had to be forcibly relocated to the countryside.
During this period, various organizational work was in chaos, leading to a large number of people dying of starvation and exhaustion.
Faced with the boiling complaints and dissatisfaction, he had to launch a counter-revolutionary campaign and kill a large number of people.
Who knew that once the butcher's knife was raised, he would not be able to put it down, and in the end his reputation would be ruined.
In fact, in addition to the limitations of objective conditions, from a subjective point of view, the overseas travelers do not want China to restore peace.
Strictly speaking, even if the Chinese League has enough cadre reserves to carry out land reform throughout China, the time travelers will freeze such plans.
After all, land reform itself was never a movement to create chaos, but a movement to prevent it.
The goal is to prevent disorderly plunder by landlords and to prevent farmers from abandoning their farming and fleeing and artificially creating wasteland because they cannot stand the excessive exploitation by landlords.
This can avoid a reduction in food production to a large extent, prevent the collapse of social order, and ultimately allow farmers to survive in their hometowns.
But if this is the case, if people can live well in their hometown, why should they immigrate to wild lands overseas?
Even if there is countless land in the Americas, Africa, and Australia that can be allocated to the poor in China, I am afraid they still I would rather live half-starved and half-fed in my hometown.
In this era when the Chinese people still regard themselves as the "Celestial Kingdom", ordinary people do not think that "the moon in foreign countries is rounder than in China."
Therefore, in order for all undeveloped corners of the world to be occupied by the Chinese and for the various republics of the Chinese League to receive a steady stream of immigrants, it is necessary to use endless wars, massacres, famine and other sufferings to create thousands of The tens of thousands of refugees completely shattered the spirit of the "Heavenly Kingdom" in the hearts of the people of the Central Plains, and made them understand that obeying the immigration arrangement plan of the "Australian and Song Dynasty thieves" is the only way to survive.
In this way, the various warlords Caotou Wang, who fought fiercely in the Ming Dynasty territory and left the common people unable to find a way to survive, acted more as allies and helpers in the Chinese League's global colonial operation, rather than as allies.
Of course, there is no need to rush to eliminate and annex those who obstruct overseas colonization.
More importantly, this seemingly arrogant Global Chinese Alliance of Travelers is itself an extremely unstable "international organization".
There are huge conflicts of ideas and interests between various traveler groups, and there have even been feuds.
It is entirely due to the strong pressure of the modern Chinese government that they are reluctantly kneaded together.
The current level of integration is far from enough.
Therefore, in this fragile balance, no one can occupy the entire China at once and gain absolute dominance, otherwise other groups will attack them.
It can only keep mainland China in a nightmare state of chaos and separatism for a long time, while constantly "squeezing out" a large number of Chinese immigrants.
The time travelers are content to occupy some important coastal areas for dumping goods and receiving people.
This way, each group can deploy people on the mainland and maintain the balance of power between each other.
Only in this way can the harmony and stability within the alliance be maintained.
Otherwise, Big problems are about to break out among the travelers scattered around the world.
Of course, this kind of thing that is difficult to explain clearly requires everyone to understand it in their hearts.
"In short, the Chinese League's strategy for mainland China has come to an end, and there are no plans to send troops again within a few years."
Wang Qiu nodded and concluded, "I heard that the Chinese League capital in Australia has been basically completed, and they plan to invite Xu Xiake Is the guy who wrote the travelogue here?"
"Ah, Xu Xiake is still floating on the sea at the moment.
It will take a while before he can reach Australia.
Why don't we go to Australia first?"
"It's okay.
After staying in Hangzhou for so long, I'm tired of seeing the scenery of West Lake and the tide of Qianjiang River.
Next, let's go to Australia to see kangaroos."
In short, in this year when China was rich in emperors, the Ming Dynasty entered the tomb of history in an extremely bizarre way.
At the same time, the ancient people of the Ming Dynasty in the area occupied by the "Australian Bandits" ushered in a new life in ignorance oshow7:
