I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

December 30, New Year's Eve.

As one of the most solemn festivals in China, no matter what it is, it is difficult to prevent Chinese people from celebrating the Spring Festival.

The Manchus who have been accustomed to celebrating the Spring Festival naturally brought this custom back to the customs.

However, this year's festival is not easy for them.

A few days ago, several assassins tried to assassinate Dorgon.

Then, the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty also experienced some turmoil.

A large number of officials and generals were purged, and some who participated in the rebellion were also beheaded.

For a time, the blood flowed into a river in Shengjing, and in the windless weather, the smell of blood could not dissipate slowly, adding a terrifying atmosphere to the city.

Relying on extremely tough means, Dorgon quelled this wave of rebellion, regained control of the power, and firmly held the Qing Dynasty in his hands.

However, his control relies on bloody suppression.

The following people are unconvinced, and there are still risks.

However, Dorgon didn't care.

During the New Year, he is also ready to enjoy it. After all, he doesn't know whether he can still enjoy this kind of enjoyment next year.

Good wine, good meat and good girl, the troupe, Dorgon will also enjoy it.

At the same time, ordinary people in Shengjing are struggling, whether to take advantage of the festival and cook more rice.

Usually, not many people are willing to eat enough, because the food is too scarce and too expensive to eat.

Basically eat five minutes full, and then slowly boil the rest of the time.

And now, after the Spring Festival is finally over, it is already miserable without meat, and you should have a full meal.

Some people cook more food cruelly, while others continue to be hungry.

No way, the Qing court exploited so much that it took away almost everything that could be taken away, leaving only the minimum survival materials for them.

Therefore, even if it is the Spring Festival, they can only spend it spiritually, and materially, it is almost the same as usual.

Some ordinary people who couldn't stand such a life, took advantage of the New Year, the Qing army relaxed their defenses, and then quietly fled south to Dahua.

They would rather accept Dahua's rule than follow Dorgon, who is the same family as them.

What about the same clan, the same clan cannot be eaten as food.

Although they are of the same race, they are more exploited than those of other races.

Some people who could not survive, took advantage of the dark night, the snowy night, and the cold winter to flee to the southwest.

Only a few can escape to Dahua.

Most of the people either starved to death on the road, froze to death on the road, or were found and killed on the road by the Qing army. Then, it became a subject of later literati creation.

Compared with the northeast, the people of Kunming are slightly better.

Officials in Kunming are also exploiting the common people, but they are not exploiting so severely.

Because, Dorgon is still vigorously developing weapons and equipment, trying to continue to fight against Dahua.

However, Zhu Youlang and other officials in Kunming have not thought about counterattacking Jiangnan.

They are now one day at a time, just passing by.

If you don't expand your armaments crazily, naturally you don't have to be so ruthless.

Ordinary people are still living a hard life, but they don't need to flee in the snowy night like the people in the northeast.

In the restaurant, several court officials gathered to drink, eat meat, and play with women.

For them, the next step is to wait for Dahua to call, then surrender to Dahua and continue to live like this.

Taking advantage of the incompetence of Emperor Yongli now, try to snatch some of the folk's wealth as much as possible to fill your own pockets.

The food on their desks is also quite luxurious. In addition to the usual meat, there are also Nanjing seafood, peppers, coriander, monosodium glutamate and other condiments.

The life that Nanjing dignitaries can enjoy, they can also enjoy.

As long as they pay, some merchants are willing to go over the mountains to sell the good things in the south of the Yangtze River to Kunming.

And the price, of course, is very exaggerated.

The price of a packet of MSG in Kunming is fifty times that of Nanjing.

After several hours of singing, laughing and dancing, the crowd dispersed.

Those leftover delicacies are discarded at will.

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

In ordinary people's homes, there is not a bit of oily smell, and they barely have a full meal.

There is no need to think about Spring Festival couplets, firecrackers, and new clothes. When you can't get enough to eat, how can you be in the mood to toss this.

If you stick more couplets, you will be hungry, and sticking couplets will not satisfy your hunger.

Ordinary people are still very realistic. Comparing the two, they can only temporarily abandon the tradition, and then pick up the tradition when conditions permit.

Without Spring Festival couplets, firecrackers and the like, this New Year's Day will naturally have no taste of the New Year.

At this time, they also hoped that Dahua's army would come over earlier, and then end the rule of Da Ming.

It is said that Dahua's taxes on the people are extremely low. Just thinking about it makes people envious.

Compared with the people of Kunming, the people of Jinan are slightly better.

There have been turmoil here for several years, and it has been devastated by various forces, plus various natural disasters, and it was once close to collapse.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Dahua called.

Then, Dahua's food was shipped over for disaster relief.

tsk tsk......

This is the most decent disaster relief the people of Jinan have ever seen. Most of the disaster relief brought in were rice bran.

And Dahua's disaster relief, it turned out to be white rice.

Isn't this the exclusive staple food of noble masters? When will the victims be eligible to eat?

Some victims who received this food were reluctant to eat it, and they chose to exchange thick noodles and millet with the landlord's house.

"We poor people can't eat such good food, and it's easy to have diarrhea."

I don't know which common people with big brains came up with such a theory out of thin air, and then it even got the approval of many victims.

For a time, more and more people exchanged relief food for coarse food.

Of course, this is not a loss for the victims. After all, one stone of rice can return two stones of millet, which can last them longer.

They can even sell a little bit of rice, and then use the money to invite scholars to write a few festive couplets, in order to ask God to bless next year's life will be even better.

You can also buy a few taels of meat, or a few eggs, and beat the teeth.

Life needs a sense of ritual, and only in this way can they feel that they are truly alive.

It is easy to despair if every day is repeated and repeated.

Therefore, even though reason tells them that they should not be so extravagant and that they can eat food for a longer time with the money from selling meat, many people still choose to have a good New Year.

Of course, when they eat meat, they will naturally not forget that these are all thanks to Dahua's relief.

"It's better for Dahua. I've only been a Dahua citizen for a few months, and the relief food has been distributed. I have paid taxes to Daming for more than 20 years, but I have never eaten the relief food from Daming."

An old farmer said with tears.

The comparison is so stark.
