If Chongzhen had done nothing, the Ming Dynasty might have died sooner. Many people have said that Chongzhen can't do this or that, and won't manage the government, resulting in the Donglin Party being the only one, and not using people, and confusingly finishing the country. Then if he does nothing, there will be no problems. Objectively speaking, this is true, but just because there are no problems without these problems.
The demise of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen is certainly a problem, he is the first responsible person, but if all the responsibility is pushed on him, then it is a little less objective.
We all know that the ming dynasty fell to Li Zicheng's peasant army. Therefore, some people think that Wei Zhongxian would not have Had Li Zicheng's uprising, and I really don't know how I thought of it, how serious the Manchu Qing's containment and blow to the Ming Dynasty were, if it were not for the Manchu Qing, would Li Zicheng have been able to develop into such a situation?
If Chongzhen doesn't look at anything, let's see what happens.
The first was naturally that Wei Zhongxian was not dead, which was also the first thing Chongzhen did after taking office.
If Wei Zhongxian does not die, in the eyes of many people, he will continue to be in power, fight with the Donglin Party, at least not let the Donglin Party become the only one, he can continue to collect taxes from the big landlords, have military salaries, and improve combat effectiveness.
How could this be, if the imperial court continued to be in the hands of a eunuch, Daming might not have waited for 1644 to perish. When Wei Zhongxian was rampant, did the Emperor of the Apocalypse care about anything? Besides, how high is Wei Zhongxian's ability to govern the country? Just collecting taxes? Just because there was a victory in the three years of fighting against Hou Jin, it was obviously not objective to think that Wei Zhongxian was very good.
If Wei Zhongxian were alive, he would not have continued to fight in the party, and if it were said that there was no benefit to the Donglin Party being the only one, then the outcome of the party struggle would probably not be much better.
The Chongzhen Dynasty also encountered natural disasters, which are also said to have not occurred in a hundred years. So what ability did Wei Zhongxian have to change all this, and the famine everywhere was counting on such a powerful eunuch?
The second nature is that Chongzhen is suspicious and distrustful, causing the situation to get out of control.
Could it be that Wei Zhongxian would be better than Chongzhen? Although Wei Zhongxian was devoted to the emperor, he also had his own selfish intentions. Who will he send to Liaodong to preside over the overall situation? What's the matter with these people? Compared with the people who must also be Wei Zhongxian's henchmen, or those who are good at seducing him, these people will definitely be able to stabilize the situation?
Third, let's talk about Chongzhen's peace.
Chongzhen, Manchu Qing and Li Zicheng had planned to negotiate peace, but they did not dare to take the initiative to negotiate for the sake of face. Will Wei Zhongxian? Obviously, even if Chongzhen couldn't do anything, Wei Zhongxian wouldn't negotiate with Li Zicheng and the like.
However, Wei Zhongxian's alliance with the party for personal gain will inevitably be resisted and attacked by the Donglin Party, and the struggle between the two sides will only become more and more intense, and the conflict will become larger and larger. Wei Zhongxian simply did not have the energy to manage anything, and not losing power was his greatest purpose.
