Ming Dynasty: the Bookstore Sells the History of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen is Confused!

It doesn't say anything about Chongzhen's character at all! During the more than ten years of Chongzhen's reign, there were more than 20 chief ministers and assistants. During the thirteen years of the siege against Li Zicheng, Chongzhen changed his generals nine times. Seven years after Chongzhen, seven governors were killed and eleven governors from various places were killed. These cannot be attributed to the internal strife among civil servants. It was Chongzhen who made the final decision. Even if Chongzhen was allowed to set up a military aircraft office, how could it be any better than the cabinet? The result was different. Was it due to infighting among the factions? Did Chongzhen make the decision himself? Why do many netizens say that even if Chongzhen did nothing, the Ming Dynasty would most likely survive for a few more years? The main reason is that in the late Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen completely lost the hearts of his subjects. When the capital was besieged, no one came to rescue. When he wanted to negotiate a peace, no officials were willing to help Chongzhen do it, and those who helped died miserably after taking the blame. When he wanted to move the capital, no minister dared to support it. Those ministers who were willing to cater to Chongzhen were basically pushed out to take the blame afterwards. When Li Zicheng led his troops all the way to the capital, Chongzhen gave orders to five or six generals from various places to be promoted to counts and asked them to lead troops to rescue the capital. In the end, only one second-fifth boy came. When Li Zicheng's troops surrounded the capital, this second-fifth boy directly opened the city gate he was defending to welcome King Chuang. Ministers can be lone ministers because they can still rely on the emperor for protection. But as an emperor, you must not be isolated, and Chongzhen did it so that "scholars, peasants, industry, merchants, civil servants and generals" did not support him. During the reign of Chongzhen: In terms of people's livelihood, they are raising taxes while constantly issuing edicts to punish themselves. In the military, generals are frequently changed, and anyone who is appointed becomes suspicious within a year. In government affairs, we must implement balancing techniques and never let one person or one faction become bigger. When it comes to employing people, they are very suspicious, they listen to others, they are soft-hearted, and they just throw them away after using them. The above points, if Chongzhen's personal ability is strong enough, are not big problems. The problem is his lack of personal ability. Of course, Chongzhen was diligent in government, did not enjoy pleasure, and dared to commit suicide when the country was destroyed. These characteristics were very rare among the emperors of the past dynasties.
