Many people also think that Chongzhen is not the "king of national subjugation". The demise of the Ming Dynasty is the reason why Emperor Wanli did not go to court for a long time, and Chongzhen is just a scapegoat. However, anyone who knows a little about what Emperor Chongzhen did during his reign knows that Chongzhen is the king of national subjugation and everything is his own fault.
Don't be blinded by Chongzhen's last words. Chongzhen is really diligent, but he can't hide a series of mistakes he made. Emperor Chongzhen has a bad brain (that's it). "You made a contribution, and he won't give you the reward you deserve, but if you make a mistake and do something bad, you will definitely be accused."
The typical representative is the southward migration of Chongzhen in the seventeenth year. We can tell you the fact that it is feasible to move south in the Ming Dynasty, and it is not impossible to make a comeback. Besides, Nanjing was originally the capital of the Ming Dynasty. After Judy moved to the capital, Nanjing kept a set of administrative agencies.
That is to say, your ancestors of Chongzhen have left all the posterior roads to you, and you still don't choose to move south? At that time, all the main forces of Li Zicheng were concentrated in Shaanxi. On the road from Beijing to Nanjing, there are hardly many enemy troops. Chongzhen could have moved to Nanjing in the name of offering sacrifices to Confucius.
Historically, there have been frequent incidents of moving south, the most classic being the Southern Song Dynasty. Compared with the demise of the country, it is not unacceptable to move south. At that time, Governor Gong also urged Chongzhen to move south. "If you move south, you can recruit tens of thousands of volunteers, and it is not difficult to disrupt."
Chongzhen himself is eager to move south. He asked Gong Gu Yong, "Can you really gather so many people?" The latter firmly replied, "Just tens of thousands of people? If it is a policy, it can be hundreds of thousands of degrees. If you only stay in the capital, the capital has been playing for a long time, and it is useless to sit still. " Zuo Li Zhongyun and Ming Rui also suggested that Chongzhen move south. "Nanjing has Shi Kefa and Liu Kongzhao, all of whom are ZhongLiang Xiaochang military affairs, and can do great things. When the emperor comes at the call, he will be able to break the trap and clear it, and build the great cause of ZTE ... "
Chongzhen's mistake has been made, and it is ok to move south, but you must never mention it yourself. You must never be blamed for running away, you must find someone to blame. In this way, the purpose of Chongzhen's southward migration was achieved, and his face was saved. This is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
At the last moment, Chongzhen is still thinking about saving face. What do his ministers think? "The emperor let us carry the pot, no way!" When Chen Yan and Wei Dezao were consulted, cabinet records showed that one of them was clearly opposed, while the other was silent for a long time. Faced with the silence of ministers, Chongzhen gave up moving south and said angrily, "I am not the king of national subjugation, and ministers are all ministers of national subjugation!" "
