The Struggle for the Ming Throne: Who Will Rule in 1644?

Appeasement was used against Wu Sangui, who refused to help those in distress. The execution of Yuan Chonghuan, who had traveled thousands of miles to provide assistance, was carried out by slow slicing. Ignore Lu Xiang-sheng, who died in the battle of Julu. Sun Chuanting, who had decisively defeated the rebel army, was imprisoned.

That's right. Sun Quan's refusal to leave the pass was actually good for Li Zicheng. At that time, Li Zicheng hadn't yet realized he had become the ruler of the land. If things dragged on, and Li Zicheng realized his mistake and cooperated with the gentry, how could Sun Quan possibly defeat him? Many powerful figures in the Ming Dynasty were either killed by Chongzhen himself or suppressed.

In my view, to accomplish the historical mission of saving the people from the Qing and preventing the decline of the Ming dynasty, there were roughly two paths to take at the end of the Ming dynasty. One was to seize Zheng Zhilong's niche, or even to travel back in time and become Zheng Chenggong himself, unifying the maritime forces in Southeast Asia and Japan, achieving internal integration…

The Ming emperors at the end of the Ming Dynasty were incredibly incompetent. Emperor Aizong of Jin, Wanyan Shouxu, despite losing Beijing and having extremely poor relations with the Mongols, Jin, Western Xia, and Song, managed to hold out for several years relying on the Guanzhong-Luoyang defense line. He heavily relied on Wanyan Chenheshang, who formed the Zhongxiao Army.

Emperor Qianlong was actually right about one thing: the Manchus truly conquered the country through cavalry archery. The Eight Banners Army was a typical armored cavalry archer force, adept at quickly closing in on the enemy and unleashing a barrage of arrows, rather than the heavy infantry mounted on horseback as some online sources claim.

Sun Chuanting's refusal to leave the pass was also a good thing for Li Zicheng.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial clan was used to expel 80,000 starving ghosts. Just give them a bite to eat, and hundreds of generals and tens of thousands of captains would lead the charge to sweep away the world.

How did the major powers resolve the natural disasters that plagued the Ming Dynasty starting from the Chongzhen era? Can someone explain? Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Hebei, and Shandong experienced drought for almost twenty consecutive years. There were also plagues and earthquakes in between. At the height of the drought, the entire Ming Dynasty territory, except for Yunnan, suffered a two-year drought.

Feudal rule by the family will never last long; at most, it will last three hundred years!
