Historically, after the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming Dynasty suffered heavy losses in its elite troops, turning from prosperity to decline, and it has completely gone downhill since then.

If Wanli had not died early and given him a few more years to reorganize the government and stabilize the overall situation, would the precarious Ming Dynasty still be able to reverse its fate and avoid its demise?
