Emperor Chongzhen was so simple, why was the Ming Dynasty buried in his hands in the end?

First of all, it is not necessary to be frugal to be able to keep the world, you must have the ability to govern the world. Secondly, it has a lot to do with the defeat of the two emperors in front of Emperor Chongzhen, the demise of the country is not accidental, but inevitable, and Emperor Chongzhen can only be blamed for being born at the wrong time and unlucky.

Because the Ming Dynasty at that time was no longer able to return to the sky, even if Emperor Chongzhen was a Ming monarch, he still couldn't resist the change of times.

Emperor Chongzhen is actually a good emperor, his life is very simple, but helplessly, his parents and ancestors left him a mess, no matter how capable he is, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is too poor, he is unable to return to the sky, and finally the Ming Dynasty was buried in his hands.

The personal strength is not strong, there is no good planning, there is no planning, there are no suitable subordinates, the strength is not strong, and there is no good backup.

He only did one thing, and he did all the work.

I have done the following wrong things, the first is to be in a hurry, Chongzhen actually wants to make a reform to revive the Ming Dynasty, but he is too eager, frequent replacement, day and night, in the continuous denial of self, not only the reform has not achieved results, but also makes people panic; The second is the reuse of eunuchs, although Wei Zhongxian was eradicated at the beginning of his reign, but later Chongzhen, who failed to reform, appointed eunuchs again, and restored the abolished eunuch supervision system, which made the commander of the army very dissatisfied, and also weakened the combat effectiveness of the army; The third is to increase taxes, in order to fight the war in the north and the reforms he promoted, Chongzhen continued to increase taxes, which made the people's grievances boil and the people's hearts were lost.

When the Ming Dynasty fell, Emperor Chongzhen escaped the infamy of the king of the country because of his good reputation of hard work and thrift, and the world replaced it with the last emperor. This seems to be beyond reproach, but the Ming Dynasty is finally in the hands of Emperor Chongzhen to a situation of no return, he does not have to bear any responsibility, and it is too far-fetched. Even if there is no historical mistake that will be criticized by future generations, but he must have done some wrong things that are not conducive to the development of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Chongzhen was suspicious by nature and buried Sun Chuanting's life. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the taxes were heavy and the people were struggling to make a living, Li Zicheng led the peasants to launch an uprising, invincible, all the way to Xi'an, Shaanxi. Ming Dynasty ** Sun Chuanting was stationed in Tongguan at that time, due to the long-term suppression of peasant uprisings in Shaanxi, Sun Chuanting's troops were not abundant, and grain and grass were in short supply.

He decided to defend Tongguan, where a husband was a pass, and consumed Li Zicheng's grain and grass, and killed the spirit of the peasant rebel army. But Emperor Chongzhen was so happy that he ordered Sun Chuanting to send troops to meet the battle, Sun Chuanting wrote many times to explain the situation, he never listened, and suspected that Sun Chuanting had fornicated with Li Zicheng, so he refused to send troops, helplessly, Sun Chuanting sent troops, and the strong man was gone, Li Zicheng took Xi'an, all the way to the north.

Emperor Chongzhen was greedy for merit and bent on pushing the Ming Dynasty to the peak of history. Since taking over, he has been eager to recruit talents, frequently changing important personnel in important departments, and changing orders day and night. In order to save their lives, the ** of the imperial court had no intention of the political development of the Ming Dynasty, which made the Ming Dynasty, which was originally poor and weak, even worse.

He saw that ** did not have any positive effect on the development of the imperial court, he began to go back, re-enable the eunuchs to control the government, and restore the abolished eunuch supervision system, the eunuchs of the harem lost the military power and regained, such as the treasure, even more reckless, so that the commander of the army was greatly dissatisfied, resulting in a great reduction in the combat effectiveness of the army of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, he also increased heavy taxes on the peasants, perhaps because his ancestors did not leave him a rich and powerful court, but he also had a family to live by, and in the end he buried his own life.

The root of all the problems is money. Self.

To know why.

If it can't be saved, it is necessary to know the Ming Dynasty

Why perish. Ming Dynasty from Wanzhi

There has been a financial crisis since the beginning. Here's why:

In terms of expenditure: Originally, the Ming Dynasty guards had tuntian, and there was no need for financial allocation. However, in the late Ming Dynasty, a large number of tuntian fields were occupied by the magnates, and military expenditures were paid by the government, which became a heavy burden.

In the late Ming Dynasty, internal strife and external troubles continued, and soldiers were used for a long time, and military spending remained high.

In terms of income: in the late Ming Dynasty, the magnates and landlords possessed a large amount of resources and were exempt from paying taxes. As a result, the tax base has shrunk.

The Ming Dynasty paid taxes and military expenses, and silver taels instead of grain cloth. The problem is that the silver taels were hoarded by the powerful landlords, and there were no silver taels in the market. Therefore, no matter how much the people produce, it is difficult to avoid bankruptcy.

The Donglin Party represented the interests of the landlords of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and seriously obstructed the Ming Dynasty from collecting taxes in its richest areas.

So in the final analysis, it is the Ming Dynasty that asks for money, but the money is in the hands of the powerful (various palaces) and landlords (various bureaucrats). Originally, Wei Zhongxian suppressed the Donglin Party, did dirty work for the emperor, and scraped money from the landlords. As soon as Chongzhen came to power, he eliminated the eunuch power, and the government was controlled by the landlords (Donglin Party).

He was unwilling to move the interests of the emperor's relatives and relatives, so he could only squeeze the poor peasants in the northwest who had no money, force them to rebel, and finally led to a complete collapse.

The Ming Dynasty is like a big tree, the roots are rotten, no matter how hard Chongzhen tries, he can't save the Ming Dynasty.

Rong Zhu Youzhen (February 6, 1611 – April 25, 1644) was the sixteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The fifth son of Zhu Changluo of Mingguangzong, the half-brother of Zhu Youxiao of Mingxizong, and his mother is the lady Liu. In 1622 (the second year of the Apocalypse), he was canonized as King Xin.

The era name Chongzhen (1627-1644), later known as Emperor Chongzhen.

After Zhu Youzhen succeeded to the throne, he vigorously eradicated the eunuch party, was diligent in political affairs, lived a frugal life, and had six edicts against himself, and was a young and promising emperor. Unfortunately, it was suspicious and could not save the declining Ming Dynasty. During his reign, a peasant uprising broke out, and the Jin regime was eyeing the outside of the Guan, and was already in a situation of internal and external troubles.

In 1644, when Li Zicheng's army broke through Beijing, he hanged himself in Coal Mountain at the age of 34 and reigned for 17 years.

Although he wanted to save the Ming Dynasty, Chaotian would not give him such a chance, and the rule of the Ming Dynasty at that time was also relatively dark and had been controlled by others.

Mainly because the Ming Dynasty had already existed in name only at that time. And he was just a puppet emperor and didn't have a lot of real power. It's also helpless to do what you want to do.

During the Wanli years, there were many things in the Ming Dynasty that put the Ming Dynasty in a dangerous situation, but it had not yet collapsed. However, what happened in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen brought the Ming Dynasty to a complete end. All the advantages and forces accumulated by the Ming Dynasty collapsed in this year.

The Ming army was unable to resist the aggressive peasant rebels, and King Fu and King Guiyang were killed one after another. The Ming Dynasty, which was already in danger, encountered a large-scale locust plague at this time, and the most tragic thing was that large-scale plagues followed, containing a large number of viruses in the body, and hundreds of thousands of people died due to the plague.

There are still many natural and man-made disasters in the <>, which doomed the Ming Dynasty to perish. The double blow is said to be the fourteenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, but this is also related to Chongzhen's misguided country, in the event of a large-scale locust plague, the disaster relief was not timely enough, resulting in many ** peasant uprisings, and the plague broke out in the rebel army, because of the poor marching conditions, the sinister environment, and the dirty environment, which fueled the plague. In short, the 14th year of Chongzhen can be said to have decided the fate of the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen can be said to be a very unusual person. His uniqueness is not only that his act of hanging himself is rare among the princes who surrendered throughout the country, but also that he has the power to look at the rulers of submitting states in other dynasties, such as Emperor Wu of Han in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Tang Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty, and Pu Yi did not have the real power to conquer the country, and what is even more rare is that the precious Emperor Chongzhen not only has real power, but also is very diligent, and he has been reigning for seventeen years.

He was a model worker.

It can be said that in the late Qing Dynasty, there was an emperor who was not excluded, he was so diligent and conscientious, he was a responsible emperor, and it was the Han Dynasty that had a great fortune, and it was usually a matter of turning the crisis into safety, but it was a pity that Emperor Chongzhen, who worked so hard, God gave him seventeen years, and he did not pick up the cheap, but made the situation worse, so that it got out of control, and the Ming Dynasty was in his hands. Although Emperor Chongzhen is a diligent emperor, he has been conscientious for 17 years, but his personal ability is insufficient, suspicious by nature, and stubborn, so these efforts are only in vain, just like choosing the wrong direction, so no matter how hard he tries, it is useless.

Chongzhen also had the intention to kill the thief and was unable to return to the sky, from the change of the civil fort, Chenghua, Zhu Youjiao, to revitalize the economy, and Zhu Houzhao, Jiajing, Wanli made the Ming Dynasty gone.

I think Chongzhen caused the negative of the Ming Dynasty to 90% of the extent, because the greed and unscrupulousness of politics led to the misery of the people and the chaos of the peasants.
