Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, was he a wise king? Can you introduce me to this "king of national subjugation"?

Emperor Chongzhen was neither a bad king nor a tyrant. As Kangxi said, his luck came.

Even the Ming History, which denigrated the Ming Dynasty for a whole hundred years, had to admit that he was conscientious and diligent. Chongzhen ordered to stop weaving in Jiangnan, and all the utensils used were wood and iron. He spent all his family money on the salary of a soldier. The gold and silver in his beloved Tian Fei's tomb are all copper and iron, and only the top two inches of the lantern are oil. Chongzhen even sold the ginseng and utensils in the palace to collect his salary.

The famous lies about Chongzhen, and his "headstrong" and "suspicious nature". These lies were made more than 100 years after the death of Chongzhen.

At the beginning of Chongzhen's accession to the throne, Wei Zhongxian cleaned it up with efficient means. People praised him as a "saint". However, the restriction of the huge literati group in the Ming Dynasty on the monarchical power made the last emperor powerless. In his life, he has been fighting for his country, and he has also been fighting with Chen Wen Group. And this official, they surrendered without scruple.

In terms of employing people, Chongzhen opened Yuan Chonghuan. This incident can be said to have sounded an unfortunate alarm for the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao privately, which destroyed the military barrier in the north and deprived the refugees of protection. Yuan Chonghuan's disobedience killed tens of thousands of residents of Juehua Island. Yuan Chonghuan built Jinzhou, which made the financial burden of Ming Dynasty unbearable. And Mao's private killing enables the latter to detour and get stuck in traffic jams without any worries. Finally, it led to the ending of the late Jin soldiers coming to Beijing at the gates.

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the voice of anti-Qing and regaining sight still did not stop dying out among the people. Many people think that Chongzhen is probably like this. He works hard, but he is stupid. He worked hard for nothing. This is complete nonsense. This is a sinister statement. In order to achieve ulterior motives, the real Chongzhen is extremely clever and politically savvy. Chongzhen acceded to the throne at the age of seventeen, and almost got rid of Wei Zhongxian by himself. But that booth was really bad. After his brother (Apocalypse), his grandfather (Wanli) and his grandfather's grandfather (Jiajing) tossed about several times in the Ming Dynasty, he was already out of breath. It is difficult for anyone to clean up that stall. Let's start with the question of Yuan Chonghuan, which has been debated until today. That kind of thing is obviously a lie to children. Someone promoted Yuan Chonghuan just to pour dirty water on Chongzhen. As soon as Chongzhen took office, Yuan Chonghuan was activated, giving him whatever he wanted. Even Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao, and he endured it. Huang taiji bypassed Beijing at the gates. Yuan Chonghuan didn't stop in Tongzhou. All Beijingers thought that Yuan Chonghuan was a traitor, but Chongzhen personally dressed Yuan Chonghuan. To say the least, even if Yuan Chonghuan wants to defect, it should just learn from Wu Sangui. Why did he go to see Chongzhen and die by himself? And if he dares to come, it means that he is not a traitor, so that ridiculous double agent is completely nonsense. Yuan Chonghuan's real cause of death was party struggle. Moreover, he killed the company commander Mao, tricked him into going to Liao for five years, and took his troops to Beijing to rest. Every one of them can kill him. Moreover, the Ningyuan line of Shanhaiguan was not breached until the Ming Dynasty perished, so Yuan Chonghuan was not the key figure. In the early years of Chongzhen, there was a continuous drought in the northwest and people ate people. But at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the bureaucrats really went too far, and the relief food was corrupt. The special financial system of the Ming Dynasty also led to the fact that the country was not particularly rich, and the usual years and months were not a big problem. However, the looting of Nurhachi's father and son for decades led to a sharp increase in military spending and tax revenue in the Ming Dynasty, so there were many rebellions in the northwest. During the ten years of Chongzhen's rule, there were several opportunities to completely kill the People's Army, but either he was soft-hearted, or the Qing army came in and scattered the generals and troops. Objectively speaking, if there is only rebellion or only the invasion of the Qing army, the Ming Dynasty can cope with it, but if there is trouble on both sides, it will not work, just like the east wall and the west wall are demolished together, and the house will collapse. Li Zicheng's March into Beijing has never been so smooth. In fact, there was a plague in Beijing at that time, and Chongzhen did not expect that Beijing could be breached. He did not arrange for the prince to sit in Nanjing, which led to the demise of several small regimes in the south and had no legal legitimacy. Before he died, Chongzhen said that "the ministers were wrong about me", and this is indeed the case. These people are constantly fighting with each other every day, which makes Chongzhen unable to do whatever he wants. Chongzhen works for more than ten hours every day, eating less, wearing rags and walking slowly, because the rags inside will float out. Even Li Zicheng saw the tattered body of Chongzhen and said, "You are not too bad". Chongzhen had a clear understanding and psychological preparation for his ultimate fate, but he didn't give up, working day and night until the day of Enemy at the Gates. Chongzhen felt ashamed and hanged himself with his hair, which shows the attitude of his great man erin brockovich. His original posthumous title was "Ming Zong Yi" and "Ming Si Zong" came from the Qing Dynasty. Chongzhen was splashed with a lot of dirty water for a simple purpose. How can the Ming emperor not die? This is a tragic figure and a hero. Later, when Sun Yat-sen's revolution was successful, the first thing he did was to worship the tomb of Chongzhen.
