The Ming Dynasty general Yuan Chonghuan had made great achievements in battle, so why did the Chongzhen Emperor still have to kill Yuan Chonghuan?

Rank, welcome to reading history according to the calendar.

In the last program, we talked to everyone about Yuan Chonghuan, and we came to a conclusion with everyone that if Chongzhen killed Yuan Chonghuan and called self-destruction of the Great Wall, then Yuan Chonghuan, the Great Wall, was more or less destroyed by himself.

If it wasn't for his good at killing Mao Wenlong, causing Hou Jin to get rid of his worries, how could Emperor Taiji lead 100,000 elite soldiers and directly attack Beijing, so Yuan Chonghuan's tragedy was more or less self-inflicted.

Some people also commented that Inspector Yuan was very talented, he would only talk about it, and he was not cautious enough, which was more or less reasonable, so in this sense, Yuan Chonghuan was also self-destructive, so in this sense, Yuan Chonghuan was also self-destructing the Great Wall, and he destroyed Mao Wenlong, resulting in his final disaster.

However, in another sense, we also have to admit that Yuan Chonghuan is talented, Yuan Chonghuan is definitely one of the most capable generals in the late Ming Dynasty, ShouNingyuan cannot be guarded by others, he is guarding, nurhaci did not die at his hands?

And even if Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, giving Emperor Taiji the opportunity to lead troops to attack Beijing, in fact, after listening to the news of Emperor Taiji's attack on Beijing, Yuan Chonghuan's approach was not wrong, and Yuan Chonghuan was also actively making up for his mistakes.

Emperor Taiji's soldiers began to besiege the outskirts of Beijing, and Yuan Chonghuan was running to Beijing with his elite troops without stopping, afraid of catching up with Huang Taiji, and finally Yuan Chonghuan took the lead and came to the Guangqu Gate one step ahead of Emperor Taiji.

At that time, the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to let Yuan Chonghuan in, and who knew whether you came to escort the car or came to deceive the city gate and put the Golden Soldiers in.

Forced to be helpless, Yuan Chonghuan also knew that this was his last chance, so outside the Guangqu Gate, Yuan Chonghuan led his troops and Huang Taiji to fight to the death, with about 10,000 people and horses against the 100,000 Huang Taiji army.

Yuan Chonghuan not only did not take the lead, but won the victory in the defense of Beijing, and Daming chose Beijing as the capital, which determined that the Tianzi guarded the gate of the country, either from the Mongols or from the Manchu Qing.

Therefore, some people commented that Yuan Chonghuan's defense of Beijing was as beautiful as Yu Qian and Yu Teacher at that time, but Yuan Chonghuan later had a tragic ending similar to Yu Qian.

At this time, we can't help but mention Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan is a talented person, but he is also a problematic person, arrogant and proud, is a lot of talented people, there must be characteristics of the body.

Let's talk about it this way, there are saints in our world, the real saints have great ability, but the emotional intelligence of people and things is extremely high, he knows that he has talents, but he can still hide his talents, and get along with others very harmoniously, such saints are rare.

Most talented people have personalities, why? He thinks I'm capable and I'm better than you, I look down on you, in my eyes you are all garbage, so he's arrogant, so he doesn't care about dealing with ordinary people, so we often call these people personalities as thorns.

So as a promising monarch, you know that you have such a person under your hands, you have to consider, how do you use such a person, can you let him use it for you, or let him mess up your whole plan.

At the beginning, when he was the king of Xin, Zhu Youjian had heard of Yuan Chonghuan, a figure, and Zhu Youjian felt that if I became emperor, it would have to be used by me, I could not let him be suppressed by the eunuch clique, I used Yuan Chonghuan, then I would definitely be able to make meritorious achievements.

Later, after Chongzhen became emperor, he summoned Yuan Chonghuan to come and answer, and Yuan Chonghuan also pondered the emperor's thoughts, so he gave Chongzhen a promise of 5 years of Pingliao, and Chongzhen listened to the great joy at that time.

According to the previous script routine, Chongzhen was resigned to Yuan Chonghuan, what rights he wanted to give, and then employed people without doubt, so that Yuan Chonghuan achieved great merits, of course, the Ming court was stable.

Chongzhen had such a script in mind, but unfortunately, Yuan Chonghuan was a talented person, but also a person with a personality, and he killed Mao Wenlong as soon as he came up.

When Yuan Chonghuan just killed Mao Wenlong, Chongzhen was patient in his heart, and he couldn't bear it, Mao Wenlong had already been killed, you would avenge Mao Wenlong at this time, and remove Yuan Chonghuan, then the Jin soldiers would have to enter Beijing tomorrow, so Chongzhen endured.

But after Emperor Taiji attacked Beijing, Chongzhen really couldn't stand it, chongzhen thought to himself, I gave you so much power, so much trust, how did you repay me? As soon as you got on stage, you cut off one of my left and right arms, and then lured the golden soldiers into the pass.

Although Chongzhen also understood in his heart that Yuan Chonghuan could do anything, he could not rebel, but things had come to this state, and everyone in the country knew that they could be killed.

The people of the Manchu court all said that it was Yuan Chonghuan who betrayed Chongzhen's trust and put the emperor Taiji in, and at this time, Chongzhen, while he was angry, wanted to punish Yuan Chonghuan.

As a prince of one side, Yuan Chonghuan did not have the capacity to tolerate people, killed Mao Wenlong, and as a result, he finally had a tragic ending, and Chongzhen, as the king of a country, had neither the capacity to tolerate people nor the ability to use people, so Yuan Chonghuan was delayed by Ling, cutting more than 3500 knives, and more than ten years later, Chongzhen's Ming Dynasty was completely overthrown.

So in this sense, for Chongzhen, if he could hold back, if he could give Yuan Chonghuan another chance, in fact, the end might not be like this.

Let's take an example, talk about the relationship between this Yongzheng and Nian Qianyao, Nian Qianyao and Yuan Chonghuan are the same arrogant and arrogant, no way, this capable person, sometimes so personality.

But according to some historians, Yongzheng has the ability to employ people and tolerate people, and when you need Nian Tangyao to fight for my life, let's look at the words yongzheng wrote to Nian Xiangyao, how meaty, the two of us are a model of kings and princes through the ages, I am so close to you.

Nian Qianyao was facing a situation quite similar to Yuan Chonghuan's, half the country's grain and salary were supplied to you, and half the country's army was under your command, just in order to let you win the account against the border Kou.

Later, Nian Tangyao finished fighting, things were done very satisfactorily, Yongzheng had already squeezed it, and after nian Tangyao's last drop of surplus value, he could give dozens of reasons at random, and he could put Nian Qianyao in prison.

Although the final outcome of Nian Qianyao is the same as that of Yuan Chonghuan, it is obvious that the ending of Yongzheng and Chongzhen is completely different, so things are very clear, you have the capacity to tolerate people, you can allow your subordinates to exert their talents within your management range, and you may succeed.

And if like Chongzhen and Yuan Chonghuan, there is no basic amount of tolerance, sorry, not only he wants to destroy, you also want to destroy, not only is he self-destructing the Great Wall, you are not also self-destructing the Great Wall.

In fact, we can also cite another team of people, compared with everyone, Yuan Chonghuan's subordinate Zu Dashou, when Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou were received by Chongzhen together, Chongzhen asked Yuan Chonghuan a few things, and then immediately put him in prison.

Zu Dashou watched as he was directly leading, was arrested by the emperor, and the whole person was paralyzed, and after leaving the palace gate, he led Guan Ning iron horse to run outside immediately.

At this time, Huang Taiji's army was still watching from the side, Huang Taiji looked at it, Chongzhen self-destructed the Great Wall like this, I still arrested Yuan Chonghuan here, Guan Ning Iron rode away, then I have to continue to attack Beijing, and soon the city of Beijing will be broken again.

At the suggestion of Sun Chengzong, Chongzhen consulted with Yuan Chonghuan and said that you should quickly write a letter to summon Zu Dashou back, and now it is important to save Beijing, Yuan Chonghuan can write a letter to Zu Dashou in prison, asking him to bring back the soldiers and horses, and then repulsing the Emperor Taiji.

Of course, even so Yuan Chonghuan was not released, and from then on Zu Dashou was also worried that Chongzhen would arrest him, so he stayed outside guanwai for many years, and did not dare to come back.

Later, Emperor Taiji sent troops to surround Zu Dashou, and after repeated persuasion, Zu Dashou surrendered, but this time Zu Dashou surrendered falsely, and after surrendering, he found an opportunity and returned to the Ming army.

But even so, Huang Taiji did not complain about Zu Dashou in the slightest, and after ten years, he was once again surrounded, and Zu Dashou once again surrendered, and Huang Taiji was still courteous.

Why? As a leader of ethnic minorities, as an emperor who aspires to chase after the Central Plains, Emperor Taiji is tolerant, he knows that I killed Zu Dashou, is this killing a person? This was the way to block the way for thousands of Ming Dynasty officials to surrender to our Manchu Qing.

Therefore, Chongzhen killed Yuan Chonghuan, which made the people of the world feel cold, and Emperor Taiji repeatedly forgave Zu Dashou, and finally achieved a great deed, to be honest, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Jianzhou was powerful, but how many people in total? If it weren't for the absorption of a large number of Han Chinese, how could it have won the world?
