The richest uncle in the capital of the Ming Dynasty was Xun Gui, who held the military power in the capital and was deeply bound to the royal family. Otherwise, the powerful eunuch, the emperor said to kill, kill. Xun Gui, eunuchs, and civil officials are three forces that check and balance each other. The emperor would not move his own territory, but would rely heavily on it. Zhu Yuanzhang killed the heroes and relied on his sons to control the military power. Zhu Di deprived the prince of the right to command the army, and the nobles instead lived a better life, becoming the iron rod of the emperor and the pillar of the jiangshan. As long as there is no rebellion, the general bullying male and female emperors do not care at all.
The difference between Chongzhen and Tianqi is that Tianqi can tolerate Wei Zhongxian as a blessing and claim to be nine thousand years old, and as long as Wei can get money, Tianqi can also bear the counterattack of the chancellor for him. He did not come forward to fight head-on with the minister, let Wei Zhongxian fight, spell it out to take the money and use it himself, and when the minister complained, he would appease himself. As for Wei Zhongxian's middle cut off part, in the end the chancellor could not appease, pushed Wei Zhongxian out and cut it, the money was still his own, and then supported a second generation of Wei Zhongxian, and he could still have a good reputation.
As the emperor and the backstage, the Apocalypse is balanced and profitable on both sides, and does not clash head-on with the civilian official clique, in fact, this is the best solution. Chongzhen is a second-in-command, sending supervisors everywhere, the army is actually a prisoner, but the really rich civilian official clique has been released, not to engage in secret service agencies, to do it himself, to face the conflict head-on, and to have no insult to the interests at all. In the end, Chongzhen was not the heir cultivated according to the orthodox crown prince training system, and Quan Shu did not understand it, and the living made the civilian official group lame.
The essential problem lies in the fact that the first-in-command Chongzhen is here, one will trust the minister and the other will trust the eunuch, the cabinet will change too quickly, the government decree will be changed overnight, the central decision-making level will be extremely chaotic, and the pits for doing practical things will be lighted, the Jiangshan left to him by the apocalypse, far from the end of the dynasty that will be finished in 17 years, the emperor Taiji himself did not think that he could go to Beijing to grab a handful, let alone enter the central plains, and Li Zicheng was a good civil servant. Chongzhen tossed blindly and killed a dynasty that could last for a while, even in the last thirteen years of the Songjin War against the Manchu Qing Hongcheng, and the sixteen years of Sun Chuanting's battle of Wuxian Against Li Zicheng, there was still a chance to win back, and it was also Chongzhen who rushed to make a quick profit, urging the last obedient border army to die in the battle pit.
Chongzhen stalls are not so bad, the Ming government is short of money, but the country is not lacking (jiangnan small days are still relatively moist), the emperor is not short of money, the ministers are not short of money, the folk legend of Chongzhen Neiyi 30 million 220% 100% is false (Qing Xiu's "History of Ming", Ming Dynasty relics are impossible), but millions or even tens of millions are there, as for those ministers are even richer. It is true that Chongzhen is diligent and thrifty, but it is really not poor. As long as you are willing to give more money to subsidize the country, the country can definitely be much better.
In the army, there were Guanning Iron Horsemen trained and established by Yuan Chonghuan, and there were both large-scale armies in the north that strangled peasant revolts in the north and elite Qin troops such as Sun Chuanting, and large-scale troops in the south by Zuo Liangyu, with more than one million armored troops in the whole country and hundreds of thousands of troops with strong combat ability. Yuan Chonghuan shrank the front line, although the concentration of troops and the Later Jin operations were slightly inferior, but it did effectively curb the Later Jin army. Yuan Chonghuan intensified his efforts to train and train Guanning troops, and when the time came, he could even achieve success in one battle.
Yuan Chonghuan believes that time is in his hands, but Chongzhen does not. Yuan Chonghuan thought that he had encountered a generation of Ming Jun, and could let himself go (killing Mao Wenlong, who did not listen to the dispatch, concentrating military power, privately negotiating with Hou Jin and buying time), but Chongzhen was just a mediocre monarch who did not want to take responsibility for suspiciousness and suspicion. The Xiaoice period is a fatal thing for the peasants in the north, but for Jiangnan, in fact, the impact is not serious, and the Ming Dynasty Jiangnan is the economic center of the whole of China, as long as Chongzhen is properly deployed Xiaoice period, there is no risk of hurting the Ming Dynasty. Chongzhen's efforts are worthy of recognition, and his ability is really not good.
