During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, the Tang Dynasty was in the midst of the Tang Dynasty, and because of the "Anshi Rebellion", the Tang Dynasty went from prosperity to decline. Although Tang Xuanzong said that the life of Favoring Yang Guifei was more luxurious, the country was still relatively rich, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and did not lose the hearts of the people. Therefore, when An Lushan rebelled, the people still supported the Tang Dynasty. An Lushan belonged to the Hu people, provoked war, and made the people of The Tang Dynasty unhappy, and the people hated him more. The most important contradiction within the Tang Dynasty was that the traitors were in charge, which led to An Lushan taking advantage of the opportunity. At the time of the Ma Songyi mutiny, after killing Yang Guozhong and Yang Guifei, the army was still facing the Tang Dynasty, so the crown prince could be supported and continue to govern.
The Northern Song Dynasty looks very weak in the history of our country, but its economy and culture are world-class. It is said that during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of Song, the GDP of the Northern Song Dynasty accounted for 22% of the world's total, which shows that the people of the Northern Song Dynasty were also very rich. What led to the great chaos in the Northern Song Dynasty was the continuous invasion of the northern ethnic minorities in the south. The demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was also the southward march of the Jin people in the north. At that time, the Han people also paid attention to living and working in peace and contentment. However, the Jin people went south to destroy the tranquility of the Northern Song Dynasty, resulting in continuous wars. What is even more infuriating is that after the Jin people besieged Kaifeng, they insulted the two emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty, and after breaking through Kaifeng, they wantonly slaughtered the common people. Therefore, the people of the Song Dynasty sympathized with the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty and hated the Jin people. Therefore, Emperor Gaozong of Song's southward escape was also supported by the people.
The Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was overthrown by Li Zicheng, who belonged to the peasant uprising. You know, a large number of peasant uprisings show that this dynasty has gradually lost the hearts and minds of the people. In particular, a peasant army with hundreds of thousands of scales like Li Zicheng shows that the Ming Dynasty was corrupt and the people rebelled, which was no longer popular with the people. Before the Chongzhen Emperor haned the coal mountain, he issued a decree on his own crimes, and at that time, the strength of the capital could actually resist the peasant army. After Li Zicheng besieged Beijing, the generals guarding the capital surrendered, leaving the Chongzhen Emperor unable to escape.
The root cause of the Chongzhen Emperor's inability to escape was that the army guarding the capital in the empty treasury had not been paid for several months, and was very dissatisfied with the emperor, so it passively resisted. But then again, even if the Chongzhen Emperor escaped from the capital, the ending was estimated to be similar to the end of the Yongli Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty wins the hearts of the people and the problem of corruption is brought under control, the Southern Ming Dynasty can actually fight back. However, the Ming Dynasty was too corrupt, especially the problem of corruption, so serious that it is estimated that only the emperor did not embezzle. How long do you say such a dynasty can last, and officials large and small are corrupt. As the saying goes, "those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world" For the Ming Dynasty, the people have hated it into the marrow, which is the main reason why the Ming Dynasty cannot be revived.
