I think Zhao Gou is better than Chongzhen, no one will criticize me, right?
I think that except for the fact that Chongzhen had more integrity than Zhao Gou in his last death, his abilities in all aspects were inferior to Zhao Gou The situation faced by these two people is very similar. Both their father and elder brother became emperors, and then they were not trained as princes. They had no experience and were brought in temporarily to make up the numbers. The reality they faced was that there were internal uprisings and powerful external enemies. What Zhao Gou chose was to find ways to negotiate peace with foreign enemies on the one hand, and to integrate internal forces to suppress the rebellion in the south on the other. Chongzhen chose to fight on two fronts, and in the face of internal rebellion, he also levied Liao Xiang. In the court, Zhao Gou was able to balance the civil servant group and subdue the military power of the generals. Although Chongzhen was tricked by civilian officials, he still killed Yuan Chonghuan, which caused the Liaodong defense line to collapse. General Qin Wang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty because he was afraid of killing him. Economically, Zhao Gou made up for the financial gap by developing overseas trade, while Chongzhen refused to allocate funds to King Qin due to financial collapse, which eventually led to the fall of the capital. The final result of the two people was that the Southern Song Dynasty existed for at least more than a hundred years, while the Southern Ming Dynasty only existed for eighteen years.
Chongzhen was an emperor who was able to bring down a unified empire without local divisions. He had no powerful ministers internally and no powerful vassals externally. Your conditions would make the last emperors of the Han and Tang dynasties greedy to death.
No one can save the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
I don't know why the author is a Zhongtian, but the writing style still shows that China is inferior to foreign countries.

Read the introduction
There is a question, why did Chongzhen at the end of the dynasty fight against corruption and confiscate his family? Don't think that the emperor can do whatever he wants. If you make a big family angry, you will have to oust him the next day. . So how does the author solve this logical problem?
It is said that the bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty was seriously corrupt, so I would like to know, compared with the princes of the Ming Dynasty, who had more money embezzled by officials and less wealth than the princes possessed. Some people may argue that the dynasty is the private property of the Zhu family and has nothing to do with anyone else. Since the world is the private property of the Zhu family, what does the world have to do with you and me if his family dies? Can changing the emperor affect you and me to continue paying taxes and farming? Another point is, was the per capita tax rate higher during the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty? The scope of taxation is to tax people at the lowest level. Is it more reasonable for the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty?
One thing that Daluoluo needs to pay attention to
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, one elite armored cavalry could easily suppress 100 infantry before firing all their arrows, and 50 elite cavalry could easily suppress thousands of infantry. The only way to fight cavalry in the field was to have more cavalry than the enemy. The same was true in Europe during the same period. Field battles also relied on cavalry. Infantry and artillery usually cannot defeat Hou Jin's cavalry. Only having more and stronger cavalry than Hou Jin is the key to eliminating Hou Jin.
Discussion of artillery settings in the article?
1. The article mentions that the new thousand-jin bronze cannon made by Tang Ruowang, which was equipped by the Imperial Army, was equipped with Ming-made 4-jin semi-solid shells. One kilogram made in Ming Dynasty is about 600 grams today. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Ming-made 1,000-pound bronze cannon equipped by the imperial camp's pro-army troops fired 6-pound solid shells. It is concluded here that the new gun is equivalent to a 6-pound bronze gun. 2. The article mentioned that the iron wheels of the new cannon are almost as tall as a human being, while the height of the wheels of the 6-pounder gun is generally only around the waist of an adult. The new gun mount setting mentioned in the article is exactly in line with the height of Napoleon's 12-pounder gun. 3. The thousand-jin cannon or ten-thousand-jin cannon described in the Ming and Qing Dynasties (refer to the Humen Smoking Opium Film) refer only to the weight of the gun body, not including the weight of the gun frame. If the new cannons equipped by the Imperial Army were set by Da Luoluo to weigh a thousand kilograms, and if the weight of the cannon body was measured solely (in line with what people said at the time), then the cannon in this article should be a 12-pound cannon, and it should also comply with the height setting of the gun carriage wheels. The solid artillery shells fired should be Ming-made 9-pound artillery shells (equal to 12 pounds), so the weight of the artillery shells in the article should be corrected. 4. If this article assumes that the weight of the gun mount is included in the weight of the gun mount, then it is reasonable for the fired shell to weigh 4 and a half kilograms (equal to 6 pounds). However, the gun mount described in the article does not meet the size of the 6-pound gun mount. 5. At the same time, the 12-pounder gun has a large caliber, fires a large number of shotgun shells, and has amazing lethality. The 6-pounder gun has a small caliber. If it is used to fire shotshells, the number of cannons will be much smaller and the power will be much worse. Not as good as the Tiger Crouching Cannon equipped by the Ming Army. Therefore, it is recommended that Da Luoluo tighten the settings of the new gun, preferably equivalent to the regulations of the 12-pound gun. Here is the information about the 12-pounder gun: The Napoleon 12-pounder gun generally refers to the M1857 12-pounder field gun, which is a smoothbore cannon named after the French Emperor Napoleon III. The following are detailed information about it: Basic parameters - Barrel: 66 inches (1.676 Meters) long, 14.3 Times the caliber, 117mm in diameter. - Weight: The gun body weighs about 1227 pounds (556.57 Kilograms), the total weight (gun body, gun frame plus wheels) weighs 2445 pounds (1109 kilograms), and the full gun combination (full gun plus front trailer and attached ammunition box) weighs 3865 pounds (approximately 1750 kilograms). - Gun mount: It weighs about 170 kilograms and has a simple structure. Except for the pitching device, which is an all-metal component, the other parts are mostly made of hardwoods such as oak or birch. - Wheels: 57 inches (1.45 Meters) in diameter, covered with iron sheets. Performance Features - Range: Driven by the 1.13KG standard propellant charge, the projectile can be accurately projected to a distance of 1480m at a 5° firing angle, and up to 1911 meters at a 10° firing angle. - Accuracy: Although it is a smoothbore cannon, it was a weapon with high shooting accuracy at the time and could engage the enemy at a distance of 1,600 yards. - Rate of fire: A well-trained gunner can bombard the enemy at a rate of two rounds per minute, one round per minute during continuous bombardment, and up to 4 rounds per minute when firing canisters at close range. - Ammunition: Can fire a variety of ammunition such as solid shells, explosive shells, shotgun shells and shrapnel shells. Actual performance The Napoleonic cannon performed well in the American Civil War. For example, in the Battle of Fredericksburg on December 13, 1862, Major Braxton and Lieutenant Mary of the Confederate Army fired spherical solid bullets at a Union flag bearer 1,600 yards away. The first shot knocked down a soldier next to the flag bearer, and the second shot made a direct hit. Advantages and Disadvantages - Advantages: Bronze casting, extremely strong, able to withstand the explosive force of heavy charges or double charges without breaking; simple to manufacture and use, relatively strong mobility, and fierce firepower. - Disadvantages [__LINK_ICON]: Due to the thick bronze barrel, the entire artillery is heavy and its maneuverability is affected to a certain extent.
Talk about a problem that cannot be solved.
Indeed, from a certain perspective, the author has written very well. At least we found a way to solve the problem in the late Ming Dynasty, and we also found the basic prerequisites for implementing the solution. Authors of historical plot novels that can write to this level are extremely rare. And the literary talent is very good. The characterization of the characters and the comprehensive understanding of the cultural background of the late Ming Dynasty show how much effort the author has put into it. But I want to be critical, not to find faults, but to provide suggestions from another perspective: In fact, the problems that occurred in the late Ming Dynasty can be described by four words: no solution. The author wants to solve these problems, which requires not only the awakening of the emperor Chongzhen himself, but also more than just debating crimes to make money, and scientific examinations to select practical and capable scholars. These methods are used to solve the problems. The fundamental problem is actually at the level of Italian form. The phenomenon at the end of the Ming Dynasty was that there were no officials and no corruption. Officials at all levels drank from the Ming Dynasty, controlled commercial routes and maritime trade, annexed land, avoided taxes, exploited and oppressed the people with heavy taxes, and vassals and royal families in various places spent billions of dollars. The most important thing is that officials, wealthy businessmen, powerful people, and plutocrats have been closely united and their interests are bound. It cannot be solved by one emperor or one army. As strong as the carpenter emperor, he could only implement party imprisonment and rely on Wei Zhongxian and the eunuch party to barely maintain power. But he still ended up with no heir and early death. Such complex and profound issues and such huge hostile forces were the root cause of the Ming Dynasty's demise. Why can a small tribe of 100,000 people develop? Why was a small tribe of 100,000 people able to take over the Central Plains? In fact, before the Tatars entered the customs, it had always been a scabies itch in the Ming Dynasty. Only the complicated and greedy interest forces were the fundamental cause of the demise of the Ming Dynasty. Thinking back on that time, Taizu needed to launch several campaigns to solve the problem. Starting from the Italian form level, it took several years to achieve certain results. ,,,,,? Difficult, difficult, difficult. It was as strong as the Eastern Han Dynasty. When several emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty launched party bans and fought against the noble families, in the end, it was just a "man-made" Yellow Turban Rebellion that blocked the national destiny. Even if Emperor Ling established the Eighth School Lieutenants of Xiyuan to protect the royal family, and even if Emperor Ling used his relative He Jin to entrust him to the general, he would still be unable to withstand the sabotage caused by noble families. As someone said, unless you start from scratch. By activating new forces + some of the old forces, and breaking up the old forces, in order to alleviate or solve some of the problems. If you want to use the title of emperor Chongzhen to solve problems, then you must unite the majority and solve the minority. And you must have your own mouthpiece and forces that are loyal to you. The army is just a knife that can temporarily protect you and solve problems violently; eunuchs can only believe in part because they also have their own interests. Only a group of people who agree with your ideas and are willing to sacrifice their lives for this idea can truly become your avatar, become your hands and feet, and become the node to solve problems and convey your will. :, Then we want to rely on these fundamentals to solve the problems that arise in the late Ming Dynasty. In fact, it is a bit taken for granted. You must know that the Donglin Party and other Shilin parties have long been the mouthpiece of the court. If you dare to do something detrimental to them, you will be sprayed to death long ago. Even if you are the emperor! Among the people, you can still be described as a cruel, cruel, drunken and foolish tyrant! Not even the emperor can stop the fierce discussion. Let alone Chongzhen, even Zhu Laosi couldn't bear it! In addition, the Nine-Border Army cannot rely on military pay to make them loyal to the emperor. They can guard the border with all their strength because of this, and they can be loyal to their superiors because of this, but they will not be loyal to the emperor because of this. ,, That's it, it's just part of ensuring that your goals are achieved. But there is a high probability that the Ming Dynasty will be divided between the north and the south, and the north and the south will be divided.
