In addition to the crimes I have committed before, I will return them all to him, and there is also a natural and man-made disaster. For example, as soon as he became emperor, there was a once-in-a-century drought. History shows that in the first year of Chongzhen, the whole Shaanxi was red. This is a complete doomsday scene.
Then: five years of famine, six years of flood, seven years of autumn locust, great famine ... nine years of drought locust, ten years of autumn harvest, eleven years of summer locust covering the sky, thirteen years of drought, fourteen years of drought ...
There is nothing to say. No matter how awesome people are, in the face of such frequent disasters, they can only lament and even be helpless. This is one of the reasons why Li Zicheng finally succeeded. There is always a steady stream of victims to join his team. Coupled with several mistakes made by Chongzhen, such as killing Yuan Chonghuan and trusting Li Zicheng's surrender, Daming collapsed irretrievably.
Before Li Zicheng went to Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen left a sentence, "All civil servants can be killed", and only accompanied by a eunuch, he hanged himself in Jingshan Park. He did not forget to warn Li Zicheng in his suicide note: What do you hate? Come at me, don't hurt the people. They have suffered enough.
In the face of such an emperor, Li Zicheng also showed great respect. Besides reburial, he also said: You are not very dark, isolated and have a lot of enthusiasm, and I try my best to be less loyal to the Party.
Li Zicheng, what does this mean? Translated, Chongzhen, you should be the king of national subjugation, right? After all, you can. Unfortunately, you were isolated, became a loner and cheated. Your ministers are also ganging up for personal gain, and there are too few for the public.
Li Zicheng's voice did not fall, and his Dashun country was instantly destroyed-Wu Sangui led the Qing soldiers into the customs. Beijing changed its master again, and the emperor shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty sat in the dragon chair. With the help of Dourgen, Manchu began to sweep the Central Plains and eventually unified the whole country.
To everyone's surprise, the emperor shunzhi's recognition of Chongzhen is understandable. In A.D. 1657, when the Ministry of Industry was ordered to write an inscription for Emperor Chongzhen, it said: I read that Emperor Chongzhen worked hard to govern the country and died for the country. If you don't explain it quickly, I'm afraid that in a thousand years, I'll watch it with people of the same kind who have lost their morality and died. I will express our sympathy with a special inscription.
Translated, Chongzhen tried his best to save the Ming Dynasty and finally died. I must commemorate and commend him for Shunzhi, otherwise I am afraid that future generations will regard Emperor Chongzhen as the king of national subjugation without virtue and incompetence, which is wrong. Therefore, the Ministry of Industry was ordered to write an inscription for Emperor Chongzhen, which not only cleared the name of Emperor Chongzhen, but also showed my benevolence in the Qing Dynasty.
What is even more surprising is that after the inscription of Chongzhen was completed, when the emperor shunzhi personally led the minister of civil and military affairs to "pay homage", that is, "pay homage" to Chongzhen Mausoleum, he burst into tears and shouted: "Brother, I have both the monarch and the minister!"
That's Brother Chongzhen. I know you best. In fact, like you, I am also a person, my brother, and I have no servant I can trust!
This move is extremely unusual and the information disclosed is extremely rich. People will naturally ask, why is Shunzhi called "Big Brother" of Chongzhen? Nothing more than these two reasons.
First, in order to win over Han ministers, or win over the people.
From the Qing Dynasty to the early years of Qianlong, the slogan and organization of anti-Qing and regaining sight never stopped. Obviously, this represents the voice of some people and must be supported by "strength"!
During Shunzhi period, anti-Qing activities reached a peak, represented by Zheng Chenggong. This naturally put great pressure on the Qing court. When Dourgen was alive, it was not the true feelings of Shunzhi, but Dourgen died seven years ago, and this pressure was all concentrated on Shunzhi. So Shunzhi affirmed Chongzhen and called "Big Brother" and so on, with this intention.
Second, the emperor shunzhi's empathy.
Before leading the government, Shunzhi always thought it was easy to be an emperor. As long as he is fair, neutral and objective in dealing with various problems, there is basically no problem. But I didn't expect this pro-government to really realize that there is nothing fair and neutral, it is all a game of interests.
For example, the suspicion of Manchu ministers. For example, is it to implement the rules of our ancestors, or to learn the system of the Ming Dynasty? These all need to be solved. These problems can not be solved by the emperor in one sentence, but involve too many stakeholders.
