I Will Be the Ming Emperor

The author underestimated the power of Chongzhen. During his 17-year reign, Chongzhen changed 50 cabinet ministers, and almost half of them were killed by him. Chongzhen was eager for quick success and instant benefit. If he was slightly unsatisfied, he would punish his subordinates and either kill them or demote them. In fact, after Yuan Chonghuan was killed, the Donglin Party was basically cleared out of the court, and they did not come back until Nan Ming came.

Although I usually hate Chongzhen, I have to admit that when I sit in his position, I am still a long way from him. The best I can do is not to kill people indiscriminately, but if I have to fight with the bureaucrats and eunuchs of the Manchu Dynasty, don't be ridiculous. It would be good if I don't get fooled like a monkey. So the solution I can think of is: hold on to the Qing army with all your strength and defend Beijing. As for the interior, the peasant army can fight wherever they like, and do whatever they like. When the peasant army is unified internally, has a base area, and has a new political power, I will go to their leader to discuss: Can you recognize my father as your godfather? I will give up the throne to you, but your surname will be changed to Zhu, and your country will still be called Daming. If he can agree, the Ming Dynasty will be saved. If he doesn't agree, it doesn't matter whether the Ming Dynasty can be saved or not. The Ming Dynasty is in such a mess that it cannot be saved unless it starts from scratch. Leaking doors and windows can be repaired, but rotten beams and columns can only be demolished and rebuilt.

I think the author dislikes the Manchus very much, but the Manchus were indeed the pinnacle of the feudal dynasty, and feudal rule reached its extreme. In particular, the financial system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was much stronger than that of the Ming Dynasty. I hope the author can write more about the reform of the fiscal system. With money, most problems can be solved.

I feel that those writing about the late Ming Dynasty all describe the emperor's power as very small. The Ming and Qing Dynasties were the peak of imperial power. There is no order that cannot be given out of Bauhinia City. Let's just say that Chongzhen didn't just depose anyone he wanted to.

Brother, I sincerely hope that every book you write will start and finish! Stop being a eunuch, you can bear it but I can't!

If I time travel to Zhu Youjian, I will find a way to isolate myself. How isolated! Constitutional monarchy! Just control the army well by yourself, not too many. Just ban the army in Beijing. The cabinet is elected every five years, and the civil servants collectively fight for life and death by themselves. Then hide in the harem and let you go! Do you think these civil servants will vote for King Chuang? Definitely not! Would that emperor delegate power so much? They will pay for it themselves. Don't believe it.

Yuan Chonghuan really doesn't think highly of him. This guy definitely committed adultery with Jiannu. Most of his men are traitors.

Okay, okay, well written

"History of the Ming Dynasty" was compiled on the basis of Wan Sitong's "Manuscript of the History of the Ming Dynasty". Wan Sitong is known as a "civilian historian" and has a good character. However, after all, he was a disciple of Huang Zongxi, a descendant of the Donglin Party and an important member of the Fushe. Therefore, he was inevitably influenced by Huang Zongxi in the process of compiling the "Manuscript of the History of the Ming Dynasty" and was quite partial to the Donglin Party members. The "History of the Ming Dynasty" compiled on the basis of the "Manuscript of the History of the Ming Dynasty" mainly has the following shortcomings: 1. Out of the need to maintain their own rule (to control the big with the small, they must do something to win over the Han people), the Manchu rulers beautified the Ming emperor and covered up many of his faults. Wan Sitong's "Manuscript of the History of the Ming Dynasty" has a relatively objective evaluation of the merits and demerits of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, while the "History of the Ming Dynasty" basically talks more about merits and rarely exaggerates. A typical example is to praise Zhu Qizhen to the fullest, infinitely magnifying and elevating his so-called achievements, and basically not mentioning his faults. 2. "History of the Ming Dynasty" covers a lot of the history after the rise of Hou Jin, and is almost silent about the heinous crimes committed by Hou Jin in Liaodong and the Manchu Qing Dynasty's repeated invasions. 3. The biographies record of some historical figures is biased and not objective enough. For example, the image of almost all Donglin Party members is too tall (of course, this should be Wan Sitong's responsibility). 4. "History of the Ming Dynasty" does not include biographies of important historical figures such as Yuan Keli and Mao Wenlong.

The writing is pretty good, but I found a problem. The latest one says it's anti-gold? Will you still resist the Jin Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty?
