Chongzhen: I Am the Ruler of a Golden Age

Who is the enemy? Who is the friend? Civil officials will not accompany you to hang yourself, nor will they pay for it. It is just a matter of shaving your head for another emperor. Who is not kneeling when you kneel? In the end, if you don't surrender or become an official, you will be regarded as a loyal minister. This group of people is unreliable. The eunuchs are loyal, but they are confined to the deep palace and have too little knowledge and too much selfishness. They can use it to save their lives, but there is no chance of relying on them to make a comeback. The nobles and nobles of the foreign vassals have become a loser. They are even more selfish and ignore the national crisis, and they are also unreliable. The Jiliao military town has become a strong force that cannot be lost. The military leaders support the troops and support the bandits, and they are not reliable. The southern gentry are either fat-minded or the water is too cold, making them even more unreliable. The patriotic people in the world persisted in resisting the Qing Dynasty until the end, but it was the refugees who rebelled against the thieves. They were the main force that could save the Ming Dynasty. Even the Southern Ming court mostly relied on these people to resist. Isn't that ironic?

After taking Northern Zhili as the basic plan, we must look at the whole world and first implement a Great Northern Strategy to revitalize several northern provinces. As long as the northern economy and food self-sufficiency do not depend on the south, the struggle in the south will be less difficult in the future. At the same time, due to the social reality of the Ming Dynasty, big businessmen must be officials and businessmen. Your economic policies must not only benefit farmers but also be seen by these officials and businessmen. After all, they have various channels that go deep into the grassroots. If these people are willing to cooperate with you, they will get twice the result with half the effort. These are the officials and businessmen who can be reconciled and are willing to embrace the New Deal. There is no problem in promoting the officials behind them. The other is the government and businessmen whose interests are irreconcilable. It depends on how you kill them. In short, you have to unite most of the groups that can unite, not just the farmers. The author should have an open mind and a broad mind that can accommodate all directions in the world 🔨

I don't even understand why everyone is so malicious towards Yuan Chonghuan? In 1629, Yuan Chonghuan submitted a letter to pacify the Liao Dynasty for five years, and was willing to lead the army with an order, but he could not pacify the Liao Dynasty and collectively committed suicide. In May 1629, Yuan Chonghuan beheaded Mao Wenlong, which was the most controversial. At this time, the Qing Dynasty had taken over the grassland and could be detoured at will. How many troops could be restrained by one banner in Dongjiang Town? Moreover, Dongjiang has no sound all year round, and there is no work to do. For real effect, 10 Niulu and some coating are enough. In November 1629, Qing troops besieged the capital. Yuan Chonghuan led the rescue troops and rushed to the capital. He applied to enter the city for repairs, but was rejected. He then fought to the death outside Guangqu Gate and repelled the Qing troops. In December 1629, Chongzhen arrested Yuan Chonghuan and imprisoned him. The remaining soldiers were not even given a reward of silver and told them to go back to Liaodong. Question: How many months did Yuan Chonghuan stay in Liaodong from the time when he took over Liaodong to when he was imprisoned? In August 1630, Yuan Chonghuan was executed late. Yuan Chonghuan spent more time in prison than when he took over Liaodong. Question 2: How many months did it take for Chongzhen to believe in him? ? I don't even understand why the author and netizens are so malicious towards Yuan Chonghuan? Yuan Chonghuan has only been in Liaodong for how many months? If it were keyboards, what could they do in the past few months? ? You say he is bragging. There is no way he can level Liao in five years. This is true, but bragging is bragging. How many months have you given them time to perform? The biggest problem in Chongzhen is that he is suspicious of people while employing people. This is not only reflected in Yuan Chonghuan, the number of replacements of chief ministers during the Chongzhen period has almost caught up with the total number of people except him in the Ming Dynasty. Beheading Yuan Chonghuan was the watershed in the late Ming Dynasty. After that, the warlords could no longer mobilize. Officials such as Yuan Chonghuan were killed for any reason. The warlords had no intention of sending themselves to test the sword. Anyway, as long as they were safe in their nests, no one dared to touch them. The unstoppable frontier troops and Liaodong warlords are equivalent to losing military morale and military power. Whatever the Ming Dynasty did, it was a desperate struggle. It was only a matter of time.

Some people always say that civil servants harmed the Ming Dynasty. I think the greatest harm to the Ming Dynasty was the emperor. Jiajing, Wanli, Tianqi, and Chongzhen were the four major disasters. Wanli ZTE was still in charge of Zhang Juzheng. The emperor used traitorous eunuchs to harm the people. In the late Ming Dynasty, some people said that the emperor was a great harm to the world. Even in modern times, the emperor still kneels down and blames the civil servants.

I came here to see the final text written carefully, not to see the invincible hair-breaking attack (the effect of a rifled gun). As a matter of fact, the Ming Dynasty can crush a few quilboars even if it considers the existing technology.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, especially during the Chongzhen period, the roots of the Ming Dynasty were completely rotten. If you want to save the Han family, you can only knock down the house and rebuild it. It is impossible to reform and patch things up. What you have to deal with is not the civil servant class, but the vested interests of the entire empire. Even if you are an emperor, you still have to play within the rules, not just flipping the table.

To be honest, I have basically ordered all of them. To put it simply, I would dream of reforming without bloodshed! Literary men have very serious ideas

That's nonsense. The Ming Dynasty couldn't stop the Manchu invaders for the first time. If they can't fight in the field, they can't do anything. They also have three-stage attacks. Three-stage attacks that self-destruct when fired. If you don't have enough weapons, you're looking for death when you go out. The cavalry cuts off your food routes, slows down your speed, and harasses you at night.

In the Ming Dynasty, officials and businessmen were integrated, and the court had lost control of capital. In Ming Dynasty novels, when people think of the evil merchants of the Ming Dynasty, they immediately think of the eight major Shanxi merchants. When talking about the South, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is the inter-party struggles between the Donglin Party, the Zhejiang Party, and the Chu Party. Compared with the northern warlords' blood-sucking and smuggling, the south is the real deep-water giant, which can be said to pale into insignificance. The wealthy merchants in the south monopolize various production materials of the Ming Dynasty, such as salt, iron, tea, grain, maritime trade, human trafficking, and all kinds of plundering of the people. The Ming Dynasty's capital move was not only a strategic issue, but also partly due to the emperor's lack of sense of security. After experiencing the abnormal development of civil and military affairs in the Song Dynasty and the tax farming system in the Yuan Dynasty, in the Ming Dynasty, the commodity economy became more prosperous, and the desire for capital and money swallowed people's hearts. Confucianism became a tool to restrain the emperor, but not the literati themselves. They were inconsistent in appearance and appearance. The literati did not serve the country and the people when they were officials, but only fought for the interests of the family and power behind them. It was possible to suppress them during the periods of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di. Later, the emperor could only lie flat. As long as he did something, some unexpected phenomena would occur.                                                                                                                      Many great Confucian scholars in the Ming Dynasty wanted to live and die, and missed the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Is it really true that they are loyal to the emperor and patriotic? Why can the Jurchens easily dominate the world after entering the customs?

I just want to say one thing, why are you successful? Why do you want your subordinates to obey? You have a few subordinates who are absolutely obedient, what use are they? Do you really want to do things? What you do can guarantee that the people below will not discount or misinterpret it 100%?
