King Chongzhen was so diligent, why was the Ming Dynasty still languishing?

Because the imperial court at that time was already very corrupt, no matter how hard he tried, it would be useless.

I feel that what he should do is not satisfactory to the people, so there is a contradiction.

Because the fall of the Ming Dynasty did not lie in Chongzhen, the king, but in the contradictions between the people and officials at that time.

Competencies can be divided into basic competencies and bonus abilities.

As the emperor, Chongzhen's basic ability should be the ability to govern, the ability to recognize and employ people, etc. Diligent government and economy are only the ability to add points, but the basic ability is not up to par, and no matter how much you add points, it is useless.

During the Chongzhen period, the Ming Dynasty was indeed riddled with holes, but it barely maintained stability. However, Chongzhen's ability to govern is somewhat problematic, and he can't even maintain social stability.

The following suffocating.

In order to cut expenses, large-scale layoffs were made, but the layoff methods were too simple and crude, and the dismissal was over. If it's a factory, it's fine, because it's fired, it's not there, but it's a country, and the people who are fired are still its own citizens. Therefore, Chongzhen's consideration is too simple, the means are too simple and crude, and the emergence of a large number of unemployed people will definitely affect social stability.

Li Zicheng is one of these unemployed. 】

After the agricultural problems of the Ming Dynasty were detonated by natural disasters, the north was the most serious. The financial pressure caused by the uprising and the war outside the customs was triggered. What if you don't have money? The tax was raised, but the tax was not added to the rich commerce and Jiangnan area, but to the northwest region of the Ming Dynasty, which was invaded by natural disasters, ......

There was another problem that was particularly obvious during the Chongzhen period, that is, the thirst for killing. Many of them were imprisoned or even cut down just because they were suspected. For example, Chongzhen's appointment of the first military department Shangshu Wang Qia died the most speechless, the Qing army went south, someone hinted to Chongzhen, saying that Jiajing cut the military department Shangshu to inspire the army and scare off the Tatars during the Tatar invasion, and then Chongzhen arrested Wang Qia and prepared to cut off the military spirit, Wang Qia finally died of illness in prison, but the body was still implemented in the strategy of inspiring the army......

With so many suffocating means of governance, no matter how diligent and frugal they are, it is useless.

The Ming Dynasty has been in decline in the era of Chongzhen, full of bruises, devastation, domestic natural disasters and man-made disasters, swords and soldiers, internal worries, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong peasant rebel army siege the city and plundered the land, external troubles, the northern Manchu iron cavalry continued to harass the border, sometimes even approaching the city of Beijing, making Chongzhen embattled, self-care, anxious, like a rotten apple, Chongzhen is no matter how diligent and thrifty, no matter how diligent and diligent the government is, there is no power to return to heaven!

Because the Ming Dynasty at that time had rotted to the bones, this was not something that the emperor could solve by his own efforts, and at that time, the neighboring forces were eyeing the Ming Dynasty, and the decline of the Ming Dynasty at that time was irreversible.

The decline of a dynasty is not an overnight thing, when Emperor Chongzhen took over the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was already about to collapse, so no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to turn the tide.

The most important thing is that the Ming Dynasty has been defeated, coupled with improper employment, that defeat has been decided, even if Li Shimin comes, it may not be able to be saved

Because this is the result of the accumulation of diseases by many emperors of the Ming Dynasty, these stubborn diseases have accumulated for hundreds of years, and cannot be changed by the diligence of one emperor, so the demise of the Ming Dynasty is inevitable.

Because his strength is not good, although he is very diligent, he has not developed his own dynasty, and he can't beat others.
