Ming Dynasty as the last Han Dynasty in Chinese history, has a special historical status in history, for many Ming fans, the Ming Dynasty is a special existence, this powerful empire established by the grassroots, in the past three hundred years of history to create immortal glory, the Ming Dynasty is a very interesting dynasty, each emperor has its own character and legendary story, whether ming jun or di jun have left a joke in history, Zhu Yuanzhang may not have imagined that the dynasty he personally founded had become the last glory of the Han people, and had become the most admired dynasty for countless history lovers.
Mention the Ming Dynasty, everyone may first think of the two words are: integrity, the Emperors and officials of the Ming Dynasty are very dignified, Zhu Di in order to resist the harassment of the remnants of the Northern Yuan, took the initiative to move the capital of the Ming Dynasty to Beijing, the Son of Heaven guarded the gate of the country, the Ming Emperor can be called the most dignified emperor in history, even the Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao was not afraid in the face of Mongolian harassment, personally conquered the Mongolian little prince, and achieved a major military victory, most of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were very effective, Even those Jiajing, Wanli, and Tianqi Emperors who have been scolded by us for hundreds of years are also faint, their IQ is very high, they eat, drink and have fun every day, and all the state institutions are still operating as usual, which can be said to be a miracle in history.
In fact, the most admired and most tragic emperor of the Ming Dynasty is the Chongzhen Emperor, the Chongzhen Emperor took over a devastated Daming Jiangshan from the hands of the previous emperors, the previous emperors smoked opium, did not go to the dynasty for more than thirty years, and refined Dan medicine at every turn, and let how to die is not to perish the country, but when it comes to Chongzhen, Daming suddenly fell into the country, is it because the Chongzhen Emperor is incompetent? In fact, this is not the case, the Chongzhen Emperor is much wiser than the previous emperors, he was not close to the female color in his life, he was diligent in state affairs every day, he worked hard for seventeen years, and finally helplessly watched the Ming Dynasty go to the brink of subjugation a little bit, this feeling was both helpless, sad, but helpless, it can be said that it was very miserable, maybe Chongzhen would not understand why he was so diligent in his life, but he made a joke with himself, so the Chongzhen Emperor pushed all the fault on the courtiers, he thought that he was not at fault, At fault were the courtiers who did not do their best, and although they had a paranoid personality, they were a very sympathetic emperor.
During the Chongzhen years, for some reason, there were many major disasters in various places: in July of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, the epidemic spread from the Hebei region to Beijing, the disease was called "knot disease", and in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, nearly 40% of the population of Beijing died, and the ten rooms were empty. In August of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, there was an outbreak of pneumonic plague in Tianjin. Jiangnan was hit by heavy water in Chongzhen for thirteen years, drought and locust plague in Chongzhen for fourteen years, and drought and epidemic plague continued for fifteen years. Local society is in a very fragile state, bandits and displaced people rise together, and civil unrest in various places continues to break out. It can be said that it is very tragic, and the fate of the Chongzhen Emperor has changed.
Finally the last straw crushed the Ming Dynasty, in 1644, that is, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng entered the city of Beijing, and at dawn on March 19, the fire broke out, the Chongzhen Emperor returned to the palace, and the outside of the city was already in flames. At this time, when the sky was about to dawn, Zhu Youguan rang the bell in the front hall to gather a hundred officials, but none of them came, and Zhu Youguan said: "The ministers are mistaken, the monarch is dead, and the world of two hundred and seventy-seven years, once abandoned, is the mistake of the traitors." In the end, he hanged himself on the crooked neck tree of Jingshan Mountain, and died on his left foot and a red shoe on his right foot. He was 33 years old. He was accompanied only by the eunuch Wang Cheng'en. Before dying in a blue robe, the big book:
"In the seventeen years since he ascended the throne, although he was a bandit and angry, all the ministers were mistaken, causing the rebels to directly attack the Capital Division. Death, faceless ancestors in the ground, to remove the crown, to cover the face. Let the thief split the corpse, and do not hurt the people. "It's still heartbreaking to read!
