There are many legends about the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty. There have been different opinions on whether Chongzhen was a mediocre and incompetent emperor or a man who tried to rise up. In any case, this is a cruel era, but also a wonderful era. This book analyzes and sorts out this period of history, which is thought-provoking. During this period, the Houjin forces in the north rose, and through Nurhachi's management, their power grew rapidly. After Nurhachi's death, Huang Taiji ascended the throne. It was during this period that Yuan Chonghuan stepped onto the stage of history. The author of this article tells us that Yuan Chonghuan, the national hero, is nothing more than a second-rate role in history. A struggle for power that had nothing to do with him sent him to the execution stand.

This book begins with Jiajing's accession to the throne and the "Controversy over Etiquette". Emperor Jiajing used the "dispute over etiquette" to eliminate a group of former ministers and take over the power. Since then, his life has become increasingly corrupt. He only wants to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal. He forgets about national affairs. As a result, the treacherous Prime Minister Yan Song has been able to hold power for a long time. At the same time, the Ming Dynasty's finances were empty and its military preparations were depleted. The Japanese pirates on the southeast coast and the Mongols in the north became the Ming Dynasty's most serious troubles. Therefore, this book mainly talks about the power struggle in the imperial court and the anti-Japanese struggle in the border areas. The thrilling story and the eloquent narration will surely make you want to stop.

This book tells the story of Zhu Qizhen, who had no distinction between loyal and treacherous people, who believed the slander and killed Yu Qian, the great hero who had saved him from danger.

Unbearable to do nothing, a man with more than enough ambition but not enough power, this heavy burden fell on the most troublesome emperor in the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty - Zhu Houzhao. He doted on the Eight Tigers, built a leopard house, and proclaimed himself a mighty general. The court was filled with scenes of absurd farce, and the situation was even more turbulent. At this time, a rare ancient civil and military genius appeared - Wang Shouren. He wiped out bandits, put down rebels, bravely fought against traitors, and left many immortal legends to future generations that are almost myths. At the same time, there is still a lot of wonderful descriptions of tactics, warfare, and deception in this book. I believe it will attract your attention as always.

It first narrates the deeds of the famous Yongle Emperor in Chinese history - he sent his army to the north to conquer Mongolia five times, sent Zheng He to seven voyages to the West, and went south to conquer Pingnan, etc. Later, Yongle died of illness on his way back from the northern expedition to Mongolia. After the Ming Dynasty experienced the relatively clear "Reign of Ren and Xuan", it began to enter a period of turmoil. The great eunuch Wang Zhen controlled the government and acted recklessly, resulting in the death of 200,000 elite soldiers. Fortunately, the famous loyal minister Yu Qian turned the tide in the "Tumubao Incident" and saved the Ming Empire. However, he was later killed after the "Seizing the Gate Incident" in which two emperors competed for the throne. This series of events and characters are all extremely exciting, and it can be said that there are climaxes one after another, which makes people dizzy and unable to stop.

This book starts from Zhu Yuanzhang's origin and ends with the Jingnan battle when Emperor Yongle seized the throne. It describes the most arduous and arduous founding process of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang VS Chen Youliang, who can win the world? The battle for peace and the decisive battle at Taihu Lake. An evil tiger was buried beside the couch to eradicate Zhang Shicheng. Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and other famous generals took advantage of the victory to conquer the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

The content of this book includes two parts. The first part is civil strife. After the fall of Yan Song, three outstanding politicians, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng, used their own methods. You will sing and I will appear. The three of them are all doers, working hard to revive the imperial court; they are also conspirators, ruthless in eradicating dissidents. Zhang Juzheng was the most important in these two points: the reform measures of whipping method and test method have benefited all people and benefited generations; those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will die, even if they kill their disciples, they will not blink an eye. The second part is the foreign war, that is, the war to aid Korea and resist Japan. From temple calculations to diplomacy, from war to peace, the plans of the warlords are unpredictable and thrilling, the war scenes are magnificent, and the killings are loud. It also depicts a series of vivid and vivid heroes, such as the "unparalleled hero" Li Rusong, the famous North Korean general Yi Sun-sin who was appointed in critical situations and was willing to take on important tasks, and the veteran Deng Zilong who refused to retreat and died for his country.

The sixth part of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" mainly tells the party struggle caused by the "Three Major Cases" in the late Ming Dynasty, the rise of Wei Zhongxian and Yuan Chonghuan's struggle. Since Zhang Juzheng's death, no one dared to take charge of Wanli. In order to fight for the country's foundation, investigate demonic books, and fight against sap, he started a tug-of-war with ministers and did not go to court for thirty years. As a result, the Donglin Party grew stronger. In order to control the government, it fought openly and covertly with the three parties of Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang. It used the struggle over the country to support the two emperors Mingguang and Xizong to ascend the throne, and successfully took power. Wei Zhongxian, who was born as a commoner, took advantage of Xizong's mediocrity and got close to the emperor's wet nurse, the Hakka family, to start a showdown with the Donglin Party. Outside, after the War of Resistance Against Japan in aid of Korea, the Ming defense line was transferred to Liaodong. After the decline of the nobility, Li Chengliang attacked Mongolia and destroyed the Jurchens, becoming a generation of tycoons, but he was troubled by 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 border general, defended the isolated city, and finally defeated Nurhaci.

About 1,300 years ago, in the first year of Zhenguan (627) of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzang, a 25-year-old young monk, left the capital Chang'an and went to Tianzhu (India) to study alone. After setting off from Chang'an, he passed through Central Asia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, going through many hardships and obstacles, and finally arrived in India. He studied there for more than two years and was a keynote speaker at a large-scale debate on Buddhist scriptures, where he received praise. In the 19th year of Zhenguan (645), Xuanzang returned to Chang'an and brought back 657 Buddhist scriptures. His journey to the West for Buddhist scriptures lasted for nineteen years and covered tens of thousands of miles. It was a legendary Long March that caused a sensation. Later, Xuanzang's oral account of his journey to the West was compiled into twelve volumes of "The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" by his disciple Bianji. But this book mainly tells the history, geography and transportation of the countries seen on the road, without any stories. When his disciples Huili and Yan Cong wrote the "Biography of Master Tripitaka of the Great Ci'en Temple of the Tang Dynasty", it added a lot of mythological color to Xuanzang's experience. From then on, the story of Tang Monk's Buddhist scriptures began to be widely circulated among the people. The Southern Song Dynasty has "The Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty Searching for Buddhist Scriptures", the Jin Dynasty version has "The Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty" and "The Peach Club", etc., And the Yuan dramas include Wu Changling's "The Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty Searching for Buddhist Scriptures from the West", and the Anonymous' "Erlang God Locks the Great Sage of Qi", etc. These all laid the foundation for the creation of "Journey to the West". It was on the basis of folk legends, scripts and operas that Wu Cheng'en went through painstaking re-creation and completed this great novel that the Chinese nation is proud of.

According to statistics, from 770 BC during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period to the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1911, about 290 princes died. They themselves also read history books, and their lessons are not far away. However, they still continue to repeat history.
