In the twelfth year of the tragedy of Chongzhen, the Qing army entered the customs and the righteous

Emperor Chongzhen had a special tragedy, when he found that he could not resist, he could only hang himself by hanging a beam, on a pine tree in the back garden.

Because only under such a banner can it be accepted by people, and the ancient teachers were famous, although they knew that such a reason was very false, but they must find a trustworthy reason, so as not to be attacked by the people of the world.

This is a deceptive way, which can also bring some comfort to their hearts, and such words can also arouse the consent and support of many people.

Because only in this way will he justifiably overthrow the Ming Dynasty, and he can also convince the people.

This shows that no matter how bad the Ming Dynasty is, it is stronger than Li Zicheng!

No, although Chongzhen's suicide was forced to death by Li Zicheng, not the Manchu Qing Dynasty. But the Manchu Qing Dynasty was also a huge blow to the Ming Dynasty, and Chongzhen has spared no effort to resist the Manchu invasion since he ascended the throne. Therefore, both the Manchu Qing and the peasant army were Chongzhen's opponents.

Then, Wu Sangui's surrender to the Manchu Qing was obviously not for Chongzhen. Even under such a banner is not credible.

Generally speaking, it will be said that Wu Sangui surrendered to the Manchu Qing because Li Zicheng's subordinates robbed his concubine Chen Yuanyuan, so Wu Sangui was angry at the crown, but in fact it was not the case, even if it was, this is one of the most insignificant reasons.

In fact, at that time, what other way did Wu Sangui have to go except to surrender to the Manchus? In the face of attacks from both sides, if you resist, you will only be destroyed. If you want a glimmer of life, you will either surrender to the Manchus or surrender to Li Zicheng.

Wu Sangui had a choice at that time, but he eventually surrendered to the Manchus. This is the reason for the difference in the attitudes of Li Zicheng and Dolgon towards Wu Sangui.

In fact, in addition to Wu Sangui's tens of thousands of troops at that time, there were also a group of about 800,000 troops stationed outside.

Everyone may not believe it when you say it, but there are still so many troops in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, everyone knew that Chongzhen was for the sake of Da Ming Xun. Then everyone thought that Daming was completely finished. Not really.

At that time, Wu Sangui, as a general on the border, actually had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands. It's just that timeWu Sangui had already surrendered, so he didn't use this person.

But at that time, the Qing Dynasty attacked from Shanhaiguan and occupied most of the northern regions. After Chongzhen's death, the Ming Dynasty supported Zhu Yousong, the king of Xiaofu, as the emperor and succeeded him as the Hongguang Emperor, and history calls this period the Southern Ming Dynasty. At that time, there were still many armies in the southern region, although they were all miscellaneous armies.

Mainly in the hands of Zuo Yuliang in Wuchang, there is a group, and then in the army known as the "Four Towns of Jiangbei". These add up to more than 800,000. In fact, these armies can also fight with the Qing Dynasty.

But they were all miscellaneous armies, and their strength was average, and later the people were uneven, always thinking about other interests, so they were broken up by the Qing Dynasty.

Later, it was some organizations that everyone was more familiar withFor example, the Heaven and Earth Society, these non-governmental organizationsIt can also be regarded as some army strength. That's why the number of these troops left behind in the Ming Dynasty is actually beyond imagination.

Later, Zuo Liangyu, the main force in this, rebelled in the name of the Qing monarch's side, and his son inherited his position and army. In fact, not many of these armies really wanted to resist the Qing army in the future, it was just their own power game.

In fact, I feel that the innocent death is very wronged, Li Zicheng just knocked down her Huanglong. That is, he only pushed his hands down? But when I was the southern half of the Ming Dynasty was very solid. If Emperor Chongzhen hadn't died at that time. The ending may not be the same.

After Chongzhen was martyred, there were still many troops in the Ming Dynasty. There are still 800,000 troops in Jiangnan alone. The cluttered army even exceeds a million. But at that time, there was no time to support Chongzhen, so he chose to die when he was surrounded.

When Emperor Chongzhen was martyred, the Ming Dynasty actually had many troops. There must be millions. Later, King Xiaofu ascended the throne and became emperor, but this person had no political acumen. The court was worried about internal and external troubles. It didn't last long and it collapsed!

After Chongzhen's martyrdom, the Ming Dynasty still had millions of troops. After all, after his death. The Ming Dynasty continued to fight for decades.

In recent years, bullets have been needed to go to the bottom.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, there should have been many famous generals in the army, but the system of the Ming Dynasty made heroes from all walks of life revolt one after another, and the strongest fortress was destroyed from the inside.

After Chongzhen was martyred, how many troops the Ming Dynasty still had must have been at the end of the road. However, although the situation of the Ming Dynasty at that time was indeed very poor, it was not without a way out.

After the death of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty army was still quite a lot, but the combat power was poor, the armaments in many places were not complete, and the number was wrong

The roots of the Ming Dynasty army are already rotten, and if they really will win, it will not be this result.

The Ming Dynasty was a military household system, that is, the descendants of soldiers were all military households, but in the late Ming Dynasty, corruption was serious, the army ate all kinds of empty salaries, and the military households were only household registrations, and the peasants who used them to farm for officers had no combat power at all.

So the war against Kim is about to collapse.

The last dynasty of Chinese culture in the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty mistook China for 300 years.

There should also be more than 300,000 troops.

After the martyrdom of Emperor Chongzhen, the reserve leadership of the Ming Dynasty immediately began to operate in Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yousong, the king of Xiaofu (the son of Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu), was proclaimed emperor, that is, the Hongguang Emperor, and this period is known in history as the Southern Ming Dynasty.

The main army of the Southern Ming Dynasty was the famous "Four Towns of Jiangbei" and the 800,000 troops under the command of Ningnan Bozuo Liangyu who sat in Wuchang, with a total strength of far more than one million. Although the "Four Towns of Jiangbei" and the army under Zuo Liangyu were mainly miscellaneous armies, they far surpassed the Dashun Army of Li Zicheng, the "King of Storming", and the Eight Banners Army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and had an overwhelming advantage in terms of personnel.

If you want to trace back to the time when Emperor Chongzhen was martyred, the army of the Ming Dynasty also included tens of thousands of people under Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Liaodong, although compared to the million-strong army in the south, this number is not much. But this was the most elite unit of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Chongzhen had a mysterious army of hundreds of thousands in the southThe reason why he did not mobilize this army until his death. That's because he failed too quickly, and he didn't have time to deploy this group of troops, as the saying goes, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, even if he wants to, it's useless

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was the last king of the Ming DynastyIn fact, since Emperor Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, the Ming court has been riddled with holes, the end of the crossbow, although Emperor Chongzhen has his own ambitions, but also wants to work hard to save the situation, want to restore the glory of the past, but the heart is more than enough and the strength is insufficient, also because he was too suspicious, which finally led to the rebellion of the people, the destruction of the country, and Emperor Chongzhen himself hanged himself.

His life can be said to have fulfilled the 4 words "powerless to return to heaven", in fact, at that time, he also had the opportunity to turn the bookHe still has 800,000 troops in the south, and if he can make good use of it, he can turn defeat into victory, but Emperor Chongzhen did not use this army until his death.

Emperor Chongzhen was besieged after his defeatThe main reason why the 800,000 troops were not used may be because he failed too quickly, and there was no time to send the army north. There is also a reason that the army used to be in the war, the consumption was too large, there was no elite troops, the existing are some rabble, although it looks very spectacular, but in fact it is vulnerable, the important thing is that the general of the 800,000 army Zuo Liangyu can no longer control this group of troops very well, so although Zuo Liangyu is very loyal to the country, but because of the improper scheduling of the 800,000 troops, he also lost the best fighter.

This mysterious army in the south is the 800,000 army led by Zuo Liangyu, and it is known as one million. At that time, this army was stationed in Nanchang to defend against the peasant uprisingAnd Emperor Chongzhen did not transfer Li Zicheng's army to the north when he came, because Emperor Chongzhen himself did not expect that it would fall so quickly.

Zuo Yuliang was holding a large army to suppress the peasant uprising in Nanchang, and Zhang Xianzhong had already fought a battle before the fall of the capital, which ended in a crushing defeat. Although Zuo Yuliang still has a large army, the combat effectiveness of these armies is far inferior to before, and most of the officers and men in the army are old, weak, sick and disabled. In the face of these soldiers with low combat effectiveness, Chongzhen was helpless.

Imagine taking these people back to Beijing to rescue and resist Li Zicheng's Dashun army, which is in full swing, there is no certainty of victory at all. Instead of going back to die, it is better to wait and see what happens, and wait for the situation to change.

In addition, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the treasury was empty, and the imperial court could not pay Zuo Yuliang military salaries, and many of Zuo Yuliang's troops had mutinied at that time, which means that Zuo Yuliang had lost absolute control over the army. What is the use of having a large number of soldiers under his command when the commander does not have the absolute authority to mobilize the army? These people may defect to the rebel army at any time, if Zuo Yuliang really brings these people to the capital, then it will not be King Qin, but will strengthen Li Zicheng's power and accelerate the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen did not transfer these 800,000 troops back to Beijing because he knew that the Ming Dynasty could not only be saved by these 800,000 people at this time, and the reality of poverty and weakness could not be reversed by just one Zuo Yuliang. Faced with the peasant army that broke through the capital, Emperor Chongzhen chose to retain the last dignity of the Ming Dynasty.

Because the distance is too far, it is futile to transfer hundreds of thousands of troops to the past.

Because he was worried that there would be no troops on that side after the transfer, and some people would not be able to resist.

Because Chongzhen not only loves face, he is also suspicious to the extreme.

Because at that time, it was far away and could not quench the thirst of the near, so it was difficult to move.

The south is too far away, and by the time this army comes, he may have died long ago.
