Swallow the Ming Dynasty

Some "experts on the history of the Ming Dynasty" keep saying that "the Donglin Party sold out the Ming Dynasty", but someone has counted that there are only three traitors in the "Assassination List" named by the Eunuch Party himself in the "Dianjiang Lu" of Donglin (one of them defected to the Eunuch Party after the "Dianjiang Lu" was released. I won't say who it is). Even Qian Qianyi, everyone's favorite villain, was not among them - although he did not dare to die for his country, he still had secret connections with the remaining forces of the Southern Ming Dynasty in the early Qing Dynasty. Maybe given the shallowness of these historical inventors, they don't even know who these three people are. Let me quote Xiang Tianying's statistics: Sun Chengzong resisted the Qing army during the Wuyin Incident, but the city was broken and he hanged himself. Huang Gongfu participated in the Sanzhong Uprising in Lingnan and later became a member of the Ming Army in Wencun. He persisted in the war of resistance behind enemy lines. When Wencun fell, he set himself on fire with Wang Xing. Jie Xuelong threw himself into the river when Nanjing was opening the city. Liu Zongzhou committed suicide on a hunger strike after the demise of the Hongguang court. There are two theories that Chen Biqian was killed by the Qing army or died of old age. Li Ruoxing died in the military rebellion for unknown reasons. Gu Xichou was killed by a warlord. Zheng Sanjun became a monk and lived in seclusion in the mountains. Xiong Mingyu returned home due to illness during the Hongguang period and later died. Hui Shiyang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty for a time, and later participated in Wang Yongqiang's anti-Qing movement, and his whereabouts are unknown. Qian Qianyi surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, but secretly communicated with Zheng Chenggong. Hou Xun came to the Qing Dynasty and did not serve as an official, but he lived openly and happily in his own home. (The names of the three traitors have been abridged, because you can find out by yourself by using the elimination method) In addition to these 15 people, Song Shixiang was captured by the Dashun Army and was killed after refusing to surrender, and Li Banghua hanged himself when the Dashun Army captured Beijing. 16 Of the other people listed in Donglin's general list were killed by Wei Zhongxian, 3 by Chongzhen, and the rest died of natural causes before the fall of the Ming Dynasty. In my opinion, the biggest problems of the Donglin Party are these: 1. Empty talk and no real work. But because there is still a moral bottom line, they will still do some practical things outside of party struggle, and there are also many who died in the fight against the Qing Dynasty. But the eunuch party... 2. The suggestion to abolish the inn was made by the Donglin party. But I've never seen anyone take advantage of this. Maybe it's because they are all repeaters, and they don't know which Donglin Party member proposed it, hehe~ 3. Engage in party disputes. I also saw an outrageous accusation that made people hate me: After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the Donglin Party secretly changed the history of the Ming Dynasty to beautify itself - laughing to death. Not to mention what has been made clear before, there were only three people from the Donglin Party who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and became officials, including a traitor. Just two or three people have the power of a hammer to tamper with such a large history book. Also, what reason does Daiqing have to beautify the Donglin Party? Even if the scope is extended to the Jiangnan gentry, they are not the basic base of Daiqing's ruling group (otherwise why would they want to hold a crying temple case), and Daiqing doesn't care about them at all. Secretly carrying private goods for beautification? Okay, let's assume that those two traitors have the energy to do this kind of thing, then are you sure that the act of including private goods in the official history books is not stirring up trouble on Kangxi's head? Is the butcher knife in Kangxi's hand fake? Want to know more about the Ming Dynasty case? The problems in the late Ming Dynasty were systemic. Civil servants, military generals, clans, relatives, eunuchs, and nobles, every group was unclean. No matter which one you rely on. If you think you can do anything if you keep Wei Zhongxian, you can think of it as childish. Supplement: I have read all the comments. Let me summarize the gist of the replies from some people below: "I don't listen, I don't listen. Anyway, as long as I don't like it, it is the Donglin Party. Although there is absolutely no evidence proving their "party membership" of the Donglin Party in history. Why is there no evidence? The question is to prove that they are with the Donglin Party and help them cover it up!" In reverse, it turns out that Huang Taiji is the leader of the Donglin Party. Otherwise, why would he cover it up for them so eagerly?

Sun Chengzong seems to have made little contribution to the Manchu Qing except for building a Ming version of the Maginot Line and raising a Guanning Group. As for the author, does he brag like this?

If Chongzhen were at the same level as the author, he wouldn't even be able to survive for 17 months. From the historical materials compiled by the Ming Dynasty to New China, Wei Zhongxian is not a good thing in all serious official historical materials. You have to explain that the Qing scholars do not want to see eunuchs, so New China will not target Wei Zhongxian, right? Even if the Donglin Party is nothing, it is still a little better than Wei Zhongxian.

Personally, I think it is impossible for a time traveler to use power to revitalize the late Ming Dynasty. Only by using a vision beyond the times and as an emperor to forcefully promote technology such as sweet potatoes and muskets can the situation be broken.

Personal opinion, The eunuch party in the late Ming Dynasty had become a disguised imperial party because of the power of civil servants in foreign dynasties. With no military power and no underlying foundation, their only reliance was on imperial power. Wei Zhongxian is someone who does not hesitate to die, but his greatest value lies in creating an eunuch through which the imperial power can extend its tentacles. To defeat the eunuchs would mean that the imperial power would lose its hands and feet. No matter how the people below fought and how their interests were re-divided, the emperor could not get even a penny of benefit from it. This is also the reason why, in my personal feeling, during the Chongzhen Dynasty, even though it seemed that I could kill any minister I wanted, I could not change the decline. Because the killings come and go, the people who eat the flesh and blood of the Ming Dynasty are just a different group of people, which does not help. Therefore, my personal sense is that allowing the eunuchs to exist in the late Ming Dynasty is similar to drinking poison to quench thirst, but without the eunuchs, with the greed of the civil servant group, the court could hardly collect money and food at all, and he would die of thirst before he died of poison.

Don't torture the eunuch to death, and don't think of the civil servants as superior. Civil servants are inherently opposed to the emperor and the common people. Wei Zhongxian is a knife. There is a saying that if the horse is put into the Nanshan armor, no sand sculpture will break his knife. Such a vicious dog like Wei Zhongxian should be locked up in a dog cage. When you can't afford to play anymore, just pull out the cage and scare those who are against you. If there are vicious dogs in the house, enemies should not enter.

Where has all the money collected every year gone? ? ? The emperor didn't get it, the eunuchs didn't get it, and the border troops didn't get it either. Please all the disciples and grandsons of the Donglin Party, please stand up and tell me loudly that after Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he carried out a torture operation. He tortured the gentlemen of the Donglin Civil Service Group and found out a total of 780 million taels of silver. Please explain to all the filial sons and grandsons of the Donglin Party.

The old habit of writing about power and strategy is wrong again, and the description is wrong, giving people the feeling that the structure is too small. For example, in this salt policy rectification, all the writing and ink are entangled with corrupt officials. The question is, in the late Ming Dynasty, were there people who were not corrupt? This means that your salt policy rectification has turned into an anti-corruption campaign. Anti-corruption can be written, but it has to be dispersed into various actions and cannot occupy the main space. For example, the rectification of the salt industry can be written about in the capital city. After all, this is the center, and the local government cannot get entangled. They directly lead the troops to rectify the situation with a general trend, directly overturning the entire salt farm, renting out the salt farm, opening up the salt market to let others come in to share a share, and write about the resistance of salt merchants and salt administration corrupt officials. Just keep those corrupt officials for the factory guards and the Inspectorate to dig out, and you can stuff them in for embellishment whenever you want. Just like the current anti-corruption campaign, supply-side reform is not about digging a line to fight corruption. Whoever jumps out to hinder reform and fights against corruption is the right path

The filial sons and grandsons of the Donglin Party are quite active. Why don't we see these filial sons of the Donglin Party come out when the issue of Liao's salary comes up?

Regarding the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to save the Ming Dynasty, you can only have a powerful revolutionary to re-establish the political power and then name the country Ming. Otherwise, it will just extend the life of the Ming Dynasty for a few years. According to the actual situation, what is needed to become Chongzhen is not to know the historical trend, because if you change a little, the subsequent historical trend will be completely useless, and you will be numb. To put it bluntly, the only successful novel about traveling back to the Ming Dynasty was Lingao Qiming, because 500 people traveled together in a collective, and there were all kinds of people. They also knew politics very well, and used organizations to fight organizations. Others, even in the late Ming Dynasty, were purely lustful and had no possibility of being realized. Because these people who traveled back have no idea how to rule a country or how a huge country operates. I'm afraid what they did was not as good as Chongzhen's. This requires at least the ability of local leaders at or above the prefecture level or even at or above the provincial level. The political level of the protagonists in those time-travel novels cannot even govern a county or a village. Becoming an emperor requires a superb political level and political skills to make use of as many people as possible. There are no useless people, only people who don't know how to use people. Poisonous snakes can also be used to guard the treasury and scare thieves. If they act according to their own temper like Chongzhen, just like the employees will watch with cold eyes as the bastard boss suffers his misfortune, the ministers will go about their lives to protect themselves as in history. If I follow the path of being a cowardly tyrant, I might as well be like Chongzhen, and I will only end up faster. Establishing slaves is cruel, but people have their own basic bases, and they are not cruel or stupid at all towards their own basic bases. Even the early emperors were elected by the Eight Banners. Of course, the author has this ability. He is at least a high-ranking official in a prefecture-level city and has no time to write a novel 😁. He can just write according to his own outline, as long as it is not too outrageous. It's not that good policies can work, but that good policies can work if they are actually implemented. Even if most of them can be implemented, it would be good.

This is the most comfortable historical novel I have read recently. The only thing that made me fully subscribe to it recently is that the updates are too short.

We have already written about going to the latrine and wiping our butts. How about the author write some detailed descriptions of what you and your woman (man) do to make everyone happy?

Sun is not worthy of such bragging. Juehua Island was massacred without caring about the use of the defense line. The loss was much greater than that of Sal Xu. It is better to withdraw the defense line and give Mao Wenlong more support.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Chongzhen pacified the Eunuch Party. In the second year of Chongzhen, the Donglin Party was deposed. People like Qian Qianyi were only re-employed during the Nanming Dynasty.

I wrote more than a hundred chapters, and the story progressed in less than a month.

Chapter 54 As an emperor, you have to explain everything and tell your intentions. What do others think of you? There is no city at all, as an emperor! If you tell your intention and say everything, what are the people's thoughts underneath? You can understand what they think after meeting them once? People's minds change. Do you know what it's like when you return home? I think you are really stupid in this chapter. Although you have thoughts to stabilize their hearts, but you say everything like this, I can only say that you, the emperor, are acting very childishly.

They keep talking about printing money, but the treasure notes have not been processed. Who will collect the new money?

Tianqi can still look at Chongzhen, even pigs have more brains than him

In the position of Chongzhen, if you want to make a comeback, Wei Zhongxian cannot be killed! You can seize power and put you under house arrest! But can't kill! Use Wei Zhongxian to control the court, and after gaining actual power, elevate the status of generals, and then popularize high-yielding crops! There is actually hope for tomorrow! As soon as Wei Zhongxian killed the civil servant, he completely lost control! Destruction is a matter of time

Hey, it's really interesting to watch. Why is he a eunuch?

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to taxes, a special military expenditure, Liao's pay, was levied. This money was collected before Chongzhen became emperor. After Chongzhen became emperor, I don't know how many years it went to Chongzhen. I would like to ask all the humble gentlemen of the Donglin Party, where did this Liao's pay military expenditure go? ? ? Wei Zhongxian broke up? ? ? Did the emperor cut off the water and use it to build a garden? ? ? The frontier troops wrote reports to Chongzhen every day asking for military expenses to pay the wages of the subordinate soldiers. The subordinate soldiers have not received wages for three to five months and a half. I would like to ask the gentlemen of the Donglin Party who divided up this money and who embezzled it. This money is a special military expenditure collected from every Ming Dynasty citizen in addition to taxes. Hundreds of millions of Ming Dynasty people did not pay this money, right? ? ? ? Please tell me, the disciples and disciples who summon souls for the Donglin Party, where did this military expenditure go? ? ?

Are there any new books? , What is the name of the new book? Does anyone know?

The writing is actually quite good, but the grades are not good.

Why did it disappear when it was so well written?

The smoothest book written and the smoothest read.

So awesome! The writing is very smooth, 4 recommendation votes every day! Steady!

Will you resume updates? I'm saving up my tickets!

There are many reasons for the collapse of the Ming Dynasty. First, the common people have no land. Many people in modern times look down upon land, but in agricultural countries, the common people have no land, which is a big problem. Second, on the issue of commercial taxes, whether or not to collect taxes means that the state is setting up money. Without money, everything is empty talk. The third is the problem of the gentry. If this is not resolved, they will continue to weigh on the people. The fourth is the problems of the imperial court itself. There are many problems, including official issues, nine-sided problems... To solve these problems, we must have our own army. To have an army, we must have money. To have money, we must solve the problem of officialdom. To solve the problem of officials, we must have our own army. This is a deadlock.

In the first few chapters of this book, it's a bit of a joke to seize Wei Zhongxian's power! How could there be no Wei Zhongxian in the Forbidden Army? Before you mobilized the Imperial Army, Wei Zhongxian had already received the news. With the help of the royal sister-in-law, you can save your life, but it is basically impossible to seize power before you ascend the throne! Historically, it took Chongzhen more than half a year after he ascended the throne to completely eliminate Wei Zhongxian! Why? Chongzhen was afraid that Wei Zhongxian would be defeated!

You can write it! Real. All aspects have been considered
