Chongzhen's Great Reversal

I was shocked to hear Ping Ji's words and thought deeply about the importance of his ancestors. The civil and military ministers and the elders of the army and civilians combined their words to persuade him to go forward. However, he refused to accept the words again and again. Instead, he respected the imperial edict and announced to heaven and earth on August 24 that he would become the emperor. In the seventh year of Chongzhen, the Later Jin Dynasty attacked Mongolia and completely annexed Monan. Since then, it has used the Mongolian Plateau as its base to invade invaders frequently, going south to plunder almost every year. Rogue bandits were in turmoil, and Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang marched across the Central Plains with an army of 300,000 people. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong each supported hundreds of thousands of people, and invaded the northwest, Sichuan, Huguang and other places. There was almost no pure land in the hinterland of the Central Plains. In this year, the Ming army officially fell into the quagmire of two-front fighting and could not extricate itself until the opponent exhausted the last vestige of vitality. It was also in this year that a soul from later generations came to the Ming Dynasty and possessed Emperor Chongzhen. In order to avoid the tragedy of the country and the family, he could only work hard and try his hand at mending the cracks in the sky!
