Today, Song Anzhi came to open a brain hole and said that if zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, was parachuted into the last year of the Ming Dynasty and replaced the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian in power, then could he really turn the tide and avoid the crisis of the ming dynasty's demise?
If Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang had traveled to March 19 of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, then there would have been no hope, and he could only end his life by hanging himself in coal mountains like the Chongzhen Emperor, or choosing to die in a fierce battle.
And if Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor, traveled to the beginning of the Chongzhen Emperor's ascension to the throne, then he still had 17 years to go. Referring to the founding history of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, who started from scratch, he can certainly turn the tide.
First of all, let's look at the reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty, one is that it is difficult to return, and social contradictions have erupted, so the national treasury is empty, and the uprising of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong is like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger. Originally, when Nurhaci first started the army, the Ming Dynasty had an absolute advantage, but because of internal reasons, it began to suppress and fail, so that it was out of control and became a strong enemy of the Ming Dynasty.
The second is related to the issue of the emperor's personal ability, although the Ming Dynasty has accumulated a lot of weight in the chongzhen emperor's period, but compared with the end of other dynasties, it is relatively much better, at least the Chongzhen emperor has real power, and has an army that obeys his orders. However, the Chongzhen Emperor's personal ability was too poor, he was suspicious, and he was self-conscious, which led to the death of loyal to the country, such as Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, and finally the situation was getting worse and worse, so that the country was destroyed.
If the Chongzhen Emperor's personal ability is still acceptable, not to mention the Zhongxing Ming Dynasty, at least it will be no problem to make the dying Ming Dynasty continue for a few more decades.
Therefore, referring to these two points, the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty was not difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang, the ming grandfather with self-made experience, and there was still great hope for turning the tide.
Of course, this also requires a process, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, with the development of more than two hundred years, the huge bureaucracy has been extremely decayed, many times, they often play not to help the emperor govern the role, but to drag their feet, or blind the emperor's negative effects.
During the reign of the Chongzhen Emperor, there were reasons for personality defects for officials such as inspectors and governors who were often replaced or even killed. But there should be another reason, that is, I don't know who is my own person, I don't know who is telling the truth, so it's a bit crazy.
Like Chongzhen sixteen years of the Qing army into the customs, Zhou Yanru governor out of Beijing to resist the Qing army, obviously no battle record, but the false report has been deceived chongzhen emperor, chongzhen emperor has been in the dark, it can be seen that the chongzhen emperor was at that time the environment, to a certain extent, it is easy to be deceived. Later, it was Jin Yiwei who commanded Luo Yang to expose the truth, and other officials were impeached one after another, and the Chongzhen Emperor discovered this truth.
Therefore, the biggest problem of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang at that time was the complicated situation within the imperial court, and it can be said that the government at that time was rotten to the bone, and the ordinary emperor really could not solve it.
And the financial emptiness at the end of the Ming Dynasty is also a key, although the Ming Dynasty died at Li Zicheng, in fact, it can also be said that it died of financial emptiness, even the military salary can not be issued, the following army naturally will not fight for the Chongzhen Emperor, so Li Zicheng marched basically did not encounter any big resistance.
Therefore, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang jumped out of this messy mess, moved south in advance, just like the experience of the founding of the country in those years, took the south as the starting point, re-recruited troops, and used the various political advantages of the imperial court at that time to form his own team again, then naturally he could turn the tide.
After all, Li Zicheng, who destroyed the Ming Dynasty, was actually not strong in personal ability, otherwise he would not have been able to stand up after the Qing army entered the customs, and he had not persisted for several years.
