Lindong Party is mainly relative to the eunuch party headed by Wei Zhongxian. In fact, it belongs to the civilian faction mainly supported by the gentry chaebol in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Its origin is the famous Donglin Academy. Its couplet reads "the sound of wind and rain, home, country and the world are all concerned." In the early stage, Lindong Party showed the integrity and persistence of literati, and it was a clean stream in politics. Corruption in the middle and late stages is only empty talk and strict with self-discipline.

After Emperor Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, Wei Zhongxian was pacified, which gave Lindong a chance to become a political core party. But at this time, foreign invasion became the main harm of the Ming Dynasty. Years of war, in the case that taxes can't make up for the front pay. Lindong Party actually advocates opposing the collection of commercial tax, but increasing agricultural tax. At that time, the peasants' life was already in dire straits, and even the exploitation was intensified, which directly led to the peasant uprising.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Lindong Party, which stood in the political center, began a power struggle. Time and time again, they prevented the famous elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty from going to the front line through public opinion, and also replaced them with generals with Lin Dong background, so that the city was repeatedly attacked by the enemy.

Therefore, Lindong Party contributed greatly to the rapid rise of the Qing Dynasty. At this time, we can understand more and more why Emperor Chongzhen said before he died: "All civil servants can be killed." In that case.

This is also the reason why Lindong Party mistakenly committed crimes against the country. Such a sympathetic group at first, after gaining power, can't help but desire and have a corrupt style. This reminds me of Chen Sheng and Hong Xiuquan. Will the weak help the weak when they are strong? However, the truth is really embarrassing.
