What was the Little Ice Age of the Ming Dynasty?

Historically, the Little Ice Age of the Ming Dynasty refers to the late Ming Dynasty. At that time, the average annual temperature in China was lower than now. Droughts and floods occurred one after another in summer, and extremely cold in winter. Not only Hebei, but also Shanghai, Jiangsu, Fujian, Guangdong and other places were surging.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, that is, after 1500 years, the temperature suddenly dropped. Some people believe that the lowest temperature period was the period of the late Ming Dynasty - from 1600 to 1644.

This led to nearly year-on-year disasters across the country in the Ming Dynasty. Before the Qin and Jin Dynasties, after Heluo, followed by Qilu, Wu and Yue, Jingchu, and Sanfu, and a nationwide drought occurred.

After Chongzhen ascended the throne, the disaster became more serious. Based on the records of the North and South Chronicles, the precursors of the disaster can be traced back to the early Jiajing period, and it began to become obvious in the 13th year of Wanli (1585)!

During the Little Ice Age, not only northern China was affected, but even in the south of the Yangtze River, it was also due to abnormal temperatures.

Due to the drop in temperature and the continued dry and cold weather, China's agricultural economy has experienced severe tests, which can be seen from the "Yushibian" edited by Ye Mengzhu in the early Qing Dynasty.

The book mentions that citrus in Jiangxi have always been tributes and are widely planted in every household. However, in Shunzhi, the most prosperous period of the Little Ice Age of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, oranges were often frozen to death during the Kangxi period, and the orange farmers who were hit dared not grow oranges again.

Of course, if you think that the Little Ice Age is a genocide or something, you will think too much.

In fact, it’s just that. Think about how the Qing army survived the Little Ice Age after entering the pass?

Haha, it is just because of the popularity of cold-resistant and high-yield crops such as potatoes and corn that have come from afar, and it is in conflict.

Do you think that Zhu Zilong, who is cheating, cannot fight against the Little Ice Age with modern products?

tm, you can handle it for you even if you are a great ice age, okay?

As long as no one comes to destroy it.

Therefore, Zhu Zilong has never been worried about how to deal with these small ice age problems.

Well, for what, immigrants went there to farm, and no one from the Central Plains landlords helped them farm. Haha, Zhu Zilong never took it seriously.

In the minds of scholars in the Ming Dynasty, they all believed that the gentry landlords were the basis for the Ming Dynasty to rule the people. If they hurt the interests of the gentry class, they would inevitably be attacked by the people of the world.

However, Zhu Zilong wanted to tell them.

When the gentry founded, they might have been the foundation of the Ming Dynasty and were collaborators. But in the late BenQ period, they were just stolen insects!

Because of their greed and luxury, many troubles were created by the Ming Dynasty. Such a class and foundation would be fine.

I care whether anyone helps them farm. I care whether anyone in the area controlled by Zhujiajun helps me farm. If other people have any opinions at that time, as long as I get bigger, I will kill one person. Whoever opposes me or scolds me, I will kill his whole family.

In the days to come!

Zhu Zilong instructed Lianyungang and his own people in Nanjing to do their best to guide refugees who have not yet become thieves to come to Shandong, or take a boat from Lianyungang to Shandong.

In short, people need people, people need as many as possible, and if traffickers sell people, it is OK.

Two taels of silver for men, three taels of silver for women, one tael of silver for children, and five coins for middle-aged and elderly people who can die until they are not dead.

After explaining Zhu Zilong, he set out to other places.

After the Zhu family army defeated Gao Yingxiang at the peak, the bandits would usher in a big downturn. This is obvious!

This is true. When the Zhu family army marched, the bandits along the way were frightened and ran away quickly.

Even if you go to Shaanxi, you will not be willing to face the Zhu family army when facing Lu Xiangsheng's army!

...

Just as the Zhu family army continued to sweep away the bandits.

Comrade Gao Yingxiang also took the elite soldiers to the capital. Along the way, he quickly tied up people for 800 miles, and it was good that he didn't vomit him to death on the way.

It's another morning court time!

Wen Tiren and a group of cabinet ministers saw the memorial of the rebel Gao Yingxiang being captured and being escorted to Beijing, and his eyes were rounded on the spot.

After confirming that it was true, he quickly reported it to Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen was so excited that he burst into tears on the spot, and he didn't even bother to wipe the tears dry. He stumbled and ran to the queen to report the message. Well, it should be said that he is the Regent Queen now.

When Queen Zhang heard the movement, she was startled when she saw Wang Chengen with tears on her face. However, when she saw him laughing, she immediately knew it was good news and asked hurriedly: "Wang Daban, is it good news coming from the front?"

Wang Chengen raised the memorial document in his hand and reported: "Returning to the regent Empress, it was indeed a memorial document from Chuzhou. Local officials and several local officials jointly submitted a memorial that the Zhu family army defeated thieves of thieves of thieves of thieves, and the Longhou of the Four Seas captured the thief Gao Yingxiang alive, and accompanied Zhang with one blood to Zhong, which was destroyed before."

After listening to the report, Queen Zhang felt as if she was imposed on a fixed body, and her body stiffened, and then she burst into tears!

The palace maid next to him sat down with caress, then shed tears and sobbed: "Okay, okay, okay, good, Zhu Sihai. I know that I know that he is a big loyal minister. He is the God of War in the Ming Dynasty! There are only a few vanguard troops in the Zhu family army, facing hundreds of thousands of thieves. He dared to fight, but he even won the battle. He captured the thief leader Gao Yingxiang. Tianyou Daming, Tianyou Daming!"

After saying this, Queen Zhang felt all over her body and walked quickly, muttering as she walked: "Tianyou Daming, Tianyou Daming. Follow me to the cabinet!"

The young Princess Changping looked at this scene while her eyes flashed.

When the emperor arrived, a group of cabinet members knelt down on the spot and shouted that the Regent Qiansui was the first to be reigned.

Then, on this matter, everyone discussed the daytime.

In the end, it was decided to pay tribute to the Taimiao on this matter. However, when the thief was escorted to the capital, he would use his head as a sacrifice!

Empress Zhang said again: "The memorial said that this time, the Longhou of the Four Seas has made great contributions. He led his troops as the forefront and broke the thieves in one battle. Dear friends, how do you think you should reward Longhou?"

When the queen heard what the ministers said, the ministers quickly closed their mouths.

They only felt a burst of pain and there was nothing to reward. The Longhou of the Four Seas was said to be a civil servant, but in fact he was essentially a military general. He had no room for promotion to continue, and then he would be promoted. Judging from the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty, he still had many opportunities to make contributions.

At that time, there is no reward, but what should I do?

Reward? The Longhou of the Four Seas may be the richest man in the Ming Dynasty.

When the ministers were silent, the queen came to her senses. Her heart was also sank, yes, there was nothing to be rewarded.

After thinking about it, the queen found that unless she was granted a title, there would be no room for appreciation.

"The Regent Empress, I think that only by granting titles can we match the achievements of Longhou." Huang Liji was not a loss for Zhu Zilong's man, so he immediately proposed.
