Things About the Ming Dynasty·part 8 (2021 Supplementary Edition)
About This Novel
This book is the eighth part of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", which mainly tells the history of the past ten years from Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty to Emperor Chongzhen. After Tianqi succeeded to the throne, he ignored the government affairs and indulged in carpentry work. The entire empire was suffering from internal and external troubles and was lifeless: Internally, the Donglin Party took the opportunity to control the government, but internally the Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang factions still fought openly and secretly and enjoyed it. During this period, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian gradually became prosperous. He took advantage of Zhu Youxiao's mediocrity and gradually climbed up the political ladder by clinging to the emperor's wet nurse, the Hakka family. However, after Emperor Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, he liquidated the eunuch party. Wei Zhongxian was desperate and finally chose to kill himself. However, the entire empire was greatly damaged as a result. Externally, because Li Chengliang was troubled by raising tigers, Nurhachi took the opportunity to rise and unify the Later Jin Dynasty. In order to resist the Jin, defend the city, and seize the lost territory, under the leadership of the emperor's master Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan grew from a scholar to a frontier general. However, just when he was about to display his ambitions, a huge crisis had been brewing for a long time.
