If Chongzhen had not killed Wei Zhongxian and used Wei Zhongxian to balance the Donglin Party, he could have given Daming a short time, but it would not have been enough to save Daming.
First of all, it needs to be explained that the demise of Daming is not something that a Wei Zhongxian can save, which is a bit too childish. It should be known that daming passed into the hands of Chongzhen, it is already dilapidated, and it is almost impossible for anyone to save Daming in a short period of time.
Before Zhu Youxiao's death, he specifically instructed his younger brother Zhu Youjian to say that Wei Zhongxian was "scrupulous and loyal, and can count big things." Although Zhu Youxue's words are not the truth and will be wrong, this sentence still has his own reason.
In itself, Wei Zhongxian was promoted by Zhu Youxiao, and in the years when he concentrated on his hobbies, it was Wei Zhongxian who helped manage the state administration, and objectively speaking, Wei Zhongxian still had some means.
When he arrived at the Chongzhen Dynasty, he did not have any good feelings for this eunuch who was not his close confidant. In his view, it was harmless to get rid of this eunuch who had brought calamity to the country and the people. But in fact, he is wrong, where is the mistake? The fault is that his personality is not resolute.
At the beginning, Wei Zhongxian engaged in commercial taxes, mining taxes and the like, this kind of taxation was not aimed at the common people, but at those big families, big families, and those who were rich. The Donglin Party abolished what commercial taxes, mining taxes, etc., those rich people do not pay taxes, Chongzhen can only transfer this burden to the people, the people have no food, natural rebellion will be more.
Could it be that Chongzhen could not do such a thing? He really couldn't do it, not because he didn't understand, but because he hesitated. On the contrary, Wei Zhongxian did not have this problem, and if Chongzhen gave this problem to Wei Zhongxian, he would definitely resolutely implement it.
In addition, Chongzhen was held back by the Donglin Party, and almost all of the people in the DPRK were his opponents, not his helpers. As a result, all of Chongzhen's decisions were greatly hindered.
In any case, in fact, Chongzhen needs such a person who only looks at the emperor and is resolute and decisive. Obviously, someone like Wei Zhongxian is very suitable. Even if something went wrong, it wasn't the emperor's fault, it was the eunuch.
However, Chongzhen lacked such a person around him. It turns out that Chongzhen was not a qualified emperor, not that he was not diligent, the key is that he made a lot of mistakes, and many of these mistakes can be avoided.
If Wei Zhongxian did not die, then a hesitant Chongzhen plus a resolute Wei Zhongxian would be highly concentrated in power, enough to suppress the Donglin Party.
In this case, it is bound to give Daming a renewed life, after all, Daming was wiped out by the peasant revolt, not the Manchu Qing outside the Guanxi.
But having said that, Wei Zhongxian was absolutely incapable of saving Daming, and these were two problems.
