Section 712 The Donglin Party's Crimes Are Exhausted (1)

Emperor Chongzhen was forced to death by the rogues, and the imperial capital fell, so someone naturally had to be responsible for such a disgraceful thing.

Emperor Chongzhen is certainly not wrong, he punished the eunuch party, diligent and thrifty, conscientious, reigning for 17 years with all his efforts to revive the Ming Dynasty, but natural disasters and man-made disasters, there are exiles and northern captives outside, and eunuchs and ministers inside, resulting in unpaid ambitions, heroic martyrdom, can be described as a majestic mountain and river...... The three thousand words of praise are omitted below.

Of course Yan Changwu is not crazy, even if Emperor Chongzhen is mediocre and incompetent, he has to pinch his nose and whitewash him to become a wise lord, this is the ass decides the head, and he has to.

Don't bow your head (admit your mistake), (otherwise) the crown will fall!

As the saying goes: "Officials protect each other", and similarly, for those in power, "one king does not kill the king of another country" is right.

Otherwise, if everyone knows the true face of the superior, the aura of the other superiors will completely lose its luster among the subjects!

Oh, it turns out that the emperor will be wrong, then everyone else will be wrong.

So everyone thinks, "I used to follow the garbage, is it worth me to fight for him?" ”

There is an example of this, for example, after Comrade Iron went to meet Marx, Khrushchev who succeeded him to the throne whipped him to death, and overnight, Comrade Iron and Steel who "took over as a poor country with a wooden plow, and left with a powerful country with nuclear weapons" was reduced from a saint admired by all to a devil spurned by all people.

In February 1956, Khrushchev, a fool, actually made a secret report at the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, personally revealing the inside story of Stalin's purge and expansion of the 1930s, his cult of personality, and the huge losses caused by his lack of vigilance in the early days of the Great Patriotic War.

The *** regime established by Stalin was thus thoroughly exposed by Khrushchev. Whether Stalin was the devil or the founding pioneer became a nightmare for the Soviet people. Overnight, the Soviet people lost their faith all at once. The spiritual system established by Stalin also collapsed. At the moment of losing their spiritual faith, the people suddenly seemed to understand something, and they felt in a daze that Stalin was equal to dictatorship.

Don't believe them!

Later, the hairy bear had Khrushchev's major contribution through the ages, and he himself denied himself, and it is strange if he did not die!

And after Emperor Chongzhen was killed, Yan Changwu insisted that Emperor Chongzhen was right, at least the general direction was right.

It is other people who are at fault, and the responsible ones are Li Zicheng and Huang Taiji outside the court, and the court naturally has to find out who is responsible.

The eunuch party is finished, and they can't afford to take this responsibility, so the pot has to be carried by the Donglin party!

In the edict issued to the Donglin Party, he said:

The first crime is that ignoring the overall situation, ignoring the general situation, and persecuting the monarchs of the three dynasties is not the way to be a minister!

The real reason why Emperor Wanli did not go to court was to avoid the Donglin Party and hide from the Qingqing. The reason why the subsequent Emperor of the Apocalypse "loved" carpentry was the same as his grandfather, and he was also in hiding.

After Emperor Chongzhen overthrew the eunuchs, the Donglin Party came to power, and the people were in power, but soon, Emperor Chongzhen demoted Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party, out of the court.

Why, without it, too much noise, chatter, like the above performance, impeachment of this and that, and a lot of criticism of the imperial court's policies, but they can't come up with any decent way to solve the problems faced by the imperial court.

This is a typical scholar misleading the country, and the Donglin Party misleading the country! After Chongzhen came to power, he cracked down on the eunuch forces represented by Wei Zhongxian, and all the people who controlled the government were scholars, who read too much, but did not know how to make changes, and learned all the great truths of "respecting the king and fighting the enemy" and "distinguishing between Huayi" and so on, but did not have the ability to actually handle foreign affairs, let alone the ability to command the army to win the war.

At the same time, I don't want to bear the historical responsibility, because the relocation of the capital and the negotiation of peace need to be responsible, once Beijing gives up, the temples and mausoleums of the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed by Li Zicheng, who will bear this responsibility?

Scholars and doctors all value their reputations, value false fame, and like to be high-profile, how can they do this kind of thing that damages their reputation.

As a result, Emperor Chongzhen fell, and someone must carry this pot, not the entire civil and official system, but the Donglin Party!

Second, due to the interference of the Donglin Party, the industrial and commercial tax was abolished three times.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, due to the imperial court system, it can be said that it was a serious emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce, which also caused the Ming Dynasty's finances to be mainly based on agricultural taxes. Around the fourth year of Longqing (1570), the annual fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty was about 30.78 million taels, of which agricultural taxes accounted for 81%, and industrial and commercial miscellaneous taxes accounted for only 12% of the total revenue. During the Wanli period, Zhang Juzheng reformed the tax system and began to gradually increase the collection of industrial and commercial tax, but due to the intervention of the Donglin Party, the industrial and commercial tax was abolished three times.

Zhang Juzheng died: the industrial and commercial tax was abolished once. In the early years of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng presided over the reform and increased the collection of industrial and commercial taxes. This greatly touched the industrial and commercial interest groups in Jiangnan, and in this case, they took out real money to support the formation of the Donglin Party. After Zhang Juzheng's death, the Donglin Party immediately abolished Zhang Juzheng's tax system.

The Wanli Emperor died: the industrial and commercial tax was abolished for the second time. The Wanli Emperor wanted to collect taxes from Jiangnan due to the tight treasury, but because he was in charge of the outer treasury, the household department (civil officials, Donglin Party!). Obstruction, Wanli can only hand over the figures who levy the industrial and commercial tax to the inner treasury. This is the so-called mystery of the Wanli Emperor's greed for money, and in fact, most of the money used in the three major levies of Wanli is supported by the industrial and commercial tax of the inner treasury. Without this money, there would be no glory of the Ming Dynasty at all, and the Donglin Party is the Artillery Party!

The Donglin Party began to control the government again after Wanli's death, and immediately after taking power, they forced Emperor Taichang to abolish the industrial and commercial taxes in various places, which once again caused the treasury to begin to tighten.

Wei Zhongxian died: the industrial and commercial tax was abolished three times. Due to the tight war in Liaodong at that time, the empty treasury could not cope with the huge military expenditures, so Wei Zhongxian appeared, and he opened the industrial and commercial taxes again, so that the treasury began to be sufficient again. However, the good times did not last long, and after the death of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian quickly fell with the support of Emperor Chongzhen, and the Donglin Party took power again. As a result, the industrial and commercial tax was abolished again, which led to the tightening of the war in Liaodong, and how to save money and how to do it, coupled with the layers of exploitation of the generals, which led to the intensification of the shortage of wages in Liaodong, and even provoked a mutiny, and the Donglin Party put all the blame on the Liaodong officers, accusing them of embezzlement of military salaries and improper command.

Without money, the emperor became a beggar on the side of the street, unable to do anything he wanted.

The Donglin Party has been drinking all over the world, supporting Qinhuai beauties, singing and harmonizing, and its name is merry.

Where are they willing to pay out of their own pockets to support the front? However, it is certainly unwise to openly reject national affairs, so they moved out their housekeeping skills, claiming that the rule set by the ancestors and emperors not to levy taxes on industry and commerce was a rule set by the ancestor emperor and could not be broken, and at the same time they used all means to attack and slander the commanders and soldiers of the frontier on suspicion of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

They had the right to speak, how could the slandered generals not be angry, and then the war was unsatisfactory, and it has to be said that the morale of the officers and soldiers was not high because of the civilian officials.
