If Wei Zhongxian hadn t been killed by Emperor Chongzhen, would Chongzhen still borrow money from th

No, because Wei Zhongxian advocated the collection of commercial taxes during his reign, and the Donglin Party represented the interests of the big landowners and big businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River, and they themselves were representatives of the merchants, so they naturally opposed the collection of commercial taxes (their slogan was that the imperial court could not compete with the people for profit), so the Donglin Party advocated the addition of agricultural taxes to alleviate the financial crisis of the imperial court, so after Wei Zhongxian's death, the agricultural tax was collected again and again, coupled with natural disasters, and finally broke out Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's large-scale uprising, which was also one of the main reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty, you know, Wei Zhongxian was the only person who was able to comprehensively suppress the Donglin Party at that time (although Wei Zhongxian was not a good person, but it was really useful to the Ming Dynasty), even Chongzhen did not have the ability of Wei Zhongxian, if Wei Zhongxian was alive, he would collect commercial taxes, not agricultural taxes, so that there would be no large-scale uprisings, and the imperial court would not have to deal with Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng at home at the same time, and fight against the Manchus outside the Guan, there is only one enemy, and the Ming Dynasty will not perish at all.

No. From the analysis of the motives of Wei Zhongxian and the Donglin Party: Wei Zhongxian wants to be the ruler of the Ming Dynasty and a fake emperor, once the Ming Dynasty is over, his authority will have no foundation, so once there is a popular uprising and foreign invasion, he will have to take out money to protect the regime; And the Donglin Party (most) only thinks about personal interests, those who can steal peace, those who can surrender, whether they are far away from overseas or take refuge in the new master, the most important thing is to have money to open the way, so they are not willing to take out the money.

Wei Zhongxian can handle the outside affairs well, and Zhu Youxiao can be a carpenter with peace of mind. This Wei Zhongxian didn't read much, but he still has a very good set of governing the country, a genius. His means of rectifying ** should be borrowed by today.

Chongzhen laid off Jinyiwei and Dongchang is the reason, if he learns Wanli, he doesn't need to borrow money.

When a country's bureaucrats have become the spokesmen of big landlords and big businessmen, the entire national bureaucracy system is a tool for the common people, and Wei Gonggong will be killed by the Donglin Party sooner or later without the protection of the emperor!

The wool comes out of the sheep, and even if they live, the people are still in the midst of fire and water.

The emperor had no money, which was a characteristic of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

If Wei Zhongxian is still there, at least Chongzhen will make some decisions later, such as making peace with Houjin or something, and those Donglin Party opponents can be released to bite them.

Personally, I felt that only by increasing commercial taxes, opening up trade routes, and reducing the burden on farmers at that time could the Ming Dynasty be saved! No matter how much the farmers shave, they can't scrape much money.
