So the correct thing for Chongzhen at that time was to keep Wei Zhongxian first, and use his strength to exterminate the Donglin Party representing the feudal aristocracy. It is not too late to kill Wei Zhongxian when the Donglin Party is destroyed. ”

"After all, Wei Zhongxian's power depends heavily on the emperor, and it is easy for the emperor to kill him."

"Emperor Chongzhen, the order is reversed."

"Killing Wei Zhongxian is the first mistake Chongzhen made." QIN Yudao,

"Next, he made another mistake, that is, to kill Yuan Chonghuan."

"At that time, Yuan Chonghuan was high-spirited and dedicated to serving the country, known as 'a Shang Fang sword, five years of peace in Liaodong'"

Although he didn't do what he said, he also admitted that he said that the five years of Liaodong was just to comfort the emperor. With the current situation of the imperial court, no one can do it for five years. ”

"Although he finally caused the Huang Taiji soldiers to come to the city, and although he also killed Mao Wenlong without authorization, he still should not be executed."

"Because in that extraordinary period, there is probably no second person who can win the Jurchen war except Yuan Chonghuan."

"Do extraordinary things in extraordinary times, although the military general has a way to die, you should at least wait for him to defeat the enemy, and then settle accounts with him."

"Don't get carried away by anger, anger can lower a person's IQ. And Chongzhen was carried away by Yuan Chonghuan's various actions and killed Yuan Chonghuan. ”

Not bad! Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't agree more in his heart when he heard this.

When he raised righteousness, his generals had a way to die, and even Chang Yuchun was good at killing prisoners. However, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about them, but just wrote down their merits and demerits in a small notebook.

After the founding of the country, if the founding military generals know how to converge, then forget the previous things, and the small book will always be sealed in the cabinet.

If they don't know how to restrain themselves, act recklessly, and dare to take credit for themselves, then the new accounts and the old accounts will be counted together.

The great cause is not finished, and it is the time to employ people, why are you killing him? Zhu Yuanzhang complained in his heart.

"After Yuan Chonghuan was killed, there was no one available in the war in Liaodong, sad, lamentable!" Qin Yu said. "Emperor Chongzhen's third mistake was that he was not decisive in killing Li Zicheng and others."

When Hong Chengchou was about to destroy Li Zicheng, he transferred Hong Chengchou back to defend the capital. According to his words at the time, only six or seven of the Li thieves escaped, so there was no need to worry. ”

"King Kong is not bad Dazhai Master"

"Such a halfway abandonment caused Li Zicheng to resurrect and capture the capital."

"He doesn't understand the principles of fighting snakes without dying, causing endless harm, letting tigers return to the mountains, and cutting grass without roots."

Of course, it's not that he doesn't understand, but he doesn't do it. But any fool can explain the truth to the truth, but there are very few who can do it. Knowing and doing it are two different things. ”

"At that time, the war in the capital was too tight, and Wu Sangui, who was guarding Ningyuan, lacked skills. If Hong Chengchou is not transferred back, it may be difficult for the capital to be defended, and he also has his reasons. ”

That's why the teacher said that everyone understands the truth, but not everyone can do it. Because people who can't do it can always find reasonable excuses for themselves. ”

Not bad, not bad!

The crowd nodded when they heard this, and Mr. Qin's words contained a profound philosophy of life.

"The drawbacks of killing Yuan Chonghuan here are revealed, Wu Sangui is inferior to Yuan Chonghuan in terms of prestige and dominating ability. He didn't have the ability to block Huang Taiji's three-way army. ”

"In a word, everything comes from one link to the other."

"If you make a wrong choice in the front, you will have to work ten times harder to make up for it, or even never make it up."

Qin Yu said: "Chongzhen's fourth mistake is to fight and be uncertain when facing Huang Taiji. Sometimes fighting, sometimes not fighting, led to the Ming Dynasty dealing with border troubles and always being in a passive situation. ”

"Of course, he is not primarily responsible for the Jurchen war and indecision."

"There is only one fundamental reason why he is fighting and undecided - that is, there is no money and no food."

"The imperial court can't afford to pay the army, and the army has no food and grass supply, so what can it do to fight?"

"If he had the money, he would have beaten it a long time ago. If the imperial court had sufficient salaries and made an emperor to a fool, he would know that he would have to fight against the border troubles rather than make peace. And, too, is the sum of humiliation. ”

"Everyone understands the reason why the court has no money and no food, that is, the feudal aristocracy occupies the vast majority of the wealth in society."

"So the war and uncertainty are just the appearance, and the deep-seated reason is that the feudal aristocracy confuses the dynasty."

Although Chongzhen is not primarily responsible for this matter, he still can't escape the secondary responsibility. Because in extraordinary times, do extraordinary things. Conventional operations could not cope with the situation at that time, and it was necessary to have the courage to break the boat. Since you are the emperor, you should show some courage. ”

"So, Chongzhen is not mediocre, but incapacitated."

"Not bad, not bad." The crowd nodded when they heard this: Although the fundamental reason for the war and uncertainty is lack of money and food, but you are an emperor and can't solve the problem, then it proves that you have no great talent.

……

"Fifth, Chongzhen is still mean and unkind."

"Chongzhen has killed more generals than the enemy has killed ten times."

"Yang Hao, the squire of the military department, Liu Ce, the imperial history of Jiliao, Yuan Chonghuan, the superintendent, Sun Yuanhua, the imperial envoy of the governor, Yang Yipeng, the governor of Caoyun, and Xiong Wencan, the secretary of the military department, ......"

"I don't have Zhu Yuanzhang's ability, but I have Zhu Yuanzhang's illness. Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang is not mean and unkind, the teacher refers to the fact that Chongzhen has the 'disease' that Zhu Yuanzhang has killed many ministers."

"When you should kill decisively, you are not decisive, and when you shouldn't kill, you kill a lot."

"You must know that Yuan Chonghuan and those people were all available talents at that time."

"The court is already rotten, and you have to take your own salary."

"According to his words, the civilian clique can't be provoked, isn't it easy for you generals to kill?"

"The teacher will tell you one more thing, and you will know how mean Chongzhen is."

"Chongzhen's own change broke out in the second year, Chongzhen ordered the soldiers and horses of Gansu Town, when they went to Dingxi, the Gansu soldiers mutinied, and when the governor Mei Zhihuan sent someone to inquire, the mutinous soldiers said: 'Back then, the Gan army rushed to help Liaodong, and none of them came back alive. Now we have to walk 6,000 miles, and the armor and artillery are heavy, and the court will not give us a penny of food and salary to settle down. ’

The army was also strict with us, and every day it was stipulated that we must march as much as we wanted, and we were not allowed to stay in a private house at night, and after sleeping outside for a while, they immediately blew the trumpet and let us continue the march. If this continues, if you walk for a few more days, I'm afraid that all the people and horses will die of exhaustion on the road. It's better to die here than to die. Now that we have mutinied, we have no chance of survival, we can only fight desperately. ’”
