Chongzhen and the New Ming Dynasty: Starting from the Death of Lu Xiangsheng in Battle

The author writes well👍, come on💪

Have you watched too many Qing palace dramas? Return to the Emperor, Your Majesty, the Han people call Your Majesty and call yourself me

Why do people like to find some historical celebrities in advance, such as Zhang Huangyan, Zheng Chenggong, etc.? This is like traveling back to the Qin Dynasty to be the king of Qin. Can you advance Bai Qi, who is still a top soldier, into a general commanding an army of hundreds of thousands? I'm afraid that Bai Qi will become the second Zhao Kuo. Many celebrities have grown up step by step after going through a lot of hardships. At this time, Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan were still rich playboys and weak scholars. If you changed their life hardships and experiences, they would probably just let them go.

The writing is unique 🙂 and has the appearance of platinum

A common problem with writing historical articles is that most authors have to write a plot and talk a lot. Those who read historical articles are not elementary school students. Why explain it so clearly? Just talk about the essentials. The previous article is very good. As soon as I finished discussing the next benefit package, I started to grind and couldn't finish the running account. Just summarize it and pass it by in one stroke without archaeology. It's not important to just look at the emotional value. I'll get tired from reading too much.

Crime 1: Updates are too slow, which makes me sigh; Crime 2: Updates are too infrequent, leaving me scratching my head; Crime 3: The plot is too exciting, and it puts me in a dangerous situation where I forget to eat and sleep. Encountering this book made the Sa family feel as if they had drank the wine that will destroy all the internal organs and scratch the heart. What a blessing!

The author's knowledge reserve is not bad, but I feel that the writing is uncanny, unlike writing a novel, so take your time and don't rush.

Let me put it bluntly, the book is a good book. But chapters 170 to 180. There are several places in between that look like they were written by AI. Or deep seek? The iconic thing is that characters often make sudden memories, which have no actual effect. It's more symbolic. And the memories are very short, often only one sentence. This transition is not like the author's original writing style. And the writing style is very similar to DS. I hope the author can write the book honestly. Don't do these opportunistic things.

Is the Qing army's combat effectiveness so outrageous? With artillery support and being attacked, how can you still achieve such a high battle loss ratio?

After reading dozens of chapters, I found another good book. Oops, I'm so annoyed that the good book is not popular.

It's useless for anyone to travel back in time. From the 13th to the 15th year of Chongzhen, there was a severe drought for three consecutive years. Except for Guangdong, southwest and southwest, there was food, and 200 million people in the country had enough to eat. It's no joke. Millions of people in Jiangnan starved to death.

Traveling through the 11th year of Chongzhen also has the possibility of reviving the Ming Dynasty. Although there was only a short period of 6 years between the 11th year of Chongzhen and the fall of the Ming Dynasty in the 17th year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty at this time was different from other feudal dynasties. The central court of the Ming Dynasty still controlled most of the country's territory through a powerful authoritarian centralized system, and also had life-or-death control over most officials in the country. The demise of the Ming Dynasty was more like a stroke and sudden death, because until August 1643, the Ming Dynasty still controlled most of the country's territory, and even had more than 100,000 trilateral officers and soldiers under its command. However, Sun Chuanting's failure in Jiaxian in 1643 and the fall of Tongguan were undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back. From then on, the Ming Dynasty quickly collapsed and perished within half a year. The situation 14 years before Chongzhen did not seem so critical, but the situation in the Ming Dynasty took a sharp turn after 14 years of Chongzhen. Li Zicheng revived the rebellion in Henan and wiped out the main force of the imperial army. The Qing army won a great victory in the Battle of Songjin and captured Hong Chengchou. The situation faced by the protagonist in the 11th year of Chongzhen was not so critical. Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting were still there, Henan Li Zicheng was still dormant, and the Battle of Songjin had not yet broken out The main force of the Ming army was not damaged, and their belongings were still there, so the key was to solve the problem of Henan Li Zicheng. Since it is a self-inflicted rebellion problem, focus on attacking the rogue bandits, and wait for the Manchus to change. Try to focus on peace, avoid war as much as possible, and drag Huang Taiji to death. After solving the rogue bandits, step up recuperation and recuperation before solving the Manchus. After solving the second bandit, work hard to govern, why worry about not being able to revive.

The core and most fatal mistake of Emperor Chongzhen was that during his tenure, the situation in Dongjiang Town was messed up and beyond control. At the same time, precious human, material and financial resources have been used to maintain the military presence north of Ningyuan for a long time, and even attempted to regain the Guangning area. This is the most terrible mistake Chongzhen made. In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, we should be on the defensive and awaiting attack, strengthen Dongjiang Town, monitor the bulk trade between North Korea and Houjin, and most importantly, cut off North Korea's ability to carry out shipping to Panjin. Secondly, there is no need to maintain any military presence north of Ningyuan. Manpower and material resources should be focused on strengthening the Yanshan Mountains defense area, especially Huailai, Zunhua, Miyun, Qianxi and other areas. The reason for guarding Ningyuan is that Ningyuan can be transported by sea, which can appropriately increase the depth of Shanhaiguan. More importantly, given Houjin's grain production capacity and supply level, it was impossible for the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia to siege Ningyuan for a long time. The Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia can bring a monthly ration by themselves, but this kind of action cannot defeat Ningyuan. Especially if Dongjiang Town can be maintained, the Koreans will not be able to transport rations to the Panjin area by sea ships, and the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners' siege capabilities will be even weaker. Sticking to the rear of the Yanshan Mountains will greatly save the transportation losses of the Ming Dynasty's official army. The establishment of 30,000 garrison troops and 20,000 field troops in the western Liaoning region can be reduced, and the establishment can be expanded to 50,000 to 60,000 new garrison troops and 30,000 to 40,000 field troops behind the Yanshan Mountains, relying on Tianjin's role as the hub of the Grand Canal. Maintaining heavy military groups around Beijing instead of the Western Liaoning Corridor will significantly reduce the probability that the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia will break through and enter the East China Plain. This is also the fundamental intention of Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, to move the capital to Beijing. At a time when the empire was in decline and the situation outside the customs was in turmoil, placing the most financially powerful military group in the Liaoxi Corridor instead of around Beijing could be said to be the most serious mistake made by Zhu Youjian, Sizong of the Ming Dynasty! It extremely undermined the fundamental purpose of moving the capital to Beijing and the idea of ​​​​defending the Yanshan Mountains.

Unlike other ruined kings who were lustful and pleasure-loving, Chongzhen was different. He was indeed frugal in material life and not lusty. The money that should have been spent on pleasure was used on the military to suppress the uprising. He would rather starve the people to death than increase taxes and military pay to expand the army. The team will wipe out the rebels to the end. This attitude of resolute suppression of the rebels and the sense of responsibility in maintaining rule are simply not possessed by other kings who have subjugated their country. This is probably one of the reasons why he can maintain his 17-year rule. If it is placed in the middle of a dynasty, it is impossible to subjugate the country. They were indeed independent rebels. Although they had almost no victory against the Qing army, fourteen years before Chongzhen, the Ming army had an advantage over the peasant army, with more wins and fewer defeats. By the 12th to 13th years of Chongzhen, the rebel army was almost extinct. Unfortunately, the Qing army's entry into the fortress caused the main force of the Ming army to give up encirclement and suppression. The rebel army was revived. In the 14th year of Chongzhen, Chongzhen was still able to mobilize hundreds of thousands of Ming troops. Even in August of the 16th year of Chongzhen, Chongzhen still had more than 100,000 border officers and soldiers under his command. Without the restraint of the Qing army, people like Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others would have been dead long ago. Chongzhen, a single-minded thief, always insisted on suppressing the rebels and always adhered to the policy of being reactionary and massacring the people. He can really be said to be Chang Kaishen's predecessor.

It's too slow to follow the new trend. If you follow the new trend faster, I can give you all the monthly tickets.

I voted monthly, I hope I won't be a eunuch

In fact, the best way to deal with Jiannu at this time is smallpox. Let's find someone to send clothes with smallpox virus to our hometown in Jianzhou. The smallpox general is the real anti-Qing mvp

In the 13th year of Chongzhen's reign, there was a severe drought in the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, there was a severe drought in the north and south at the same time, and Beijing had no direct supply of food.

To be honest, there was a shortage of Great Britain at the end of the Ming Dynasty Because in the late Qing Dynasty, Britain did not want to destroy the Qing Dynasty. It always supported the Manchu Qing Dynasty, reformed the Qing Dynasty's finances, provided loans to the Qing Dynasty, helped the Qing Dynasty train the army, and even sent troops to help the Qing Dynasty jointly suppress the Taiping Army. Even before the Xinhai Uprising, Britain and the Qing Dynasty had an agreement. If there was another large-scale uprising, Britain would give the Qing Dynasty a loan of 11 million pounds and dispatch the Far East Navy to assist. As a result, because of the Moroccan incident in Europe, Britain gathered its forces and returned to defend Europe, which allowed the Revolution of 1911 to succeed.

In the face of climate change, why don't you think about the Ming Dynasty's navy regaining Taiwan and moving the excess people out for immigration?

Haha, hey, I'm here again. You may have seen me as a deadbeat before, but the me of yesterday is not the me of today. How do you think I look like before, fellow? !

It's been a long time since I've read a book with such depth. Stop scolding me. Who's responsible for the bad ending? Just read the book and don't talk too much. If you don't like it, write it yourself.

The first two circles are typical of deep seek writing style. There is an obvious logical error in the third place. How to melt cannons when burning books? Of course, it can be interpreted as using books as new burning materials to melt metal and make cannons. But this logic is a bit far. When I read the novel, I saw that no one has written it like this yet, and the third part is even more strange, reaching the top. I won't talk about the familiar DS writing style. Who keeps the imperial edict close to their chest? Half of it is still exposed. For those who didn't know, they thought they had received a secret edict and were preparing to punish thieves. Of course it could be interpreted that this symbolizes the man's inner struggle with rebellion. But the first 150 or so chapters of your novel are all written in a realistic style, and this symbolic writing style is almost never used. There are so many of these. I suspect you just told AI 1 the general plot. Let AI generate it.

It has been more than ten years since the end of the Ming Dynasty, but you still want to be stable in the north instead of going south. You have to use your brain to travel across the country. There are natural disasters every year in 7 provinces across the country. Even if there is no war, there is not enough food. Is it enough to just reform it by personal travel?
