Video Clip: Top 10 Women in Power

Perhaps the crooked locust tree on Meishan Mountain is the best home for Emperor Chongzhen.

You can't do it for the king, and you can't do it without politics.

No reward for meritorious service, and blame for mistakes!This is the tried and tested magic weapon of Emperor Chongzhen.

It's as if he is committing crimes against himself while continuously increasing the taxation of the people.

The door was knocked at the border, the Ming army was defeated, domestic uprisings continued one after another, and the situation deteriorated in an all-round way.

This kind of situation has been encountered in all dynasties, and many of them adopted long-distance and short-term attacks, negotiating peace while fighting again.

The two-way struggle is cruel. Only by focusing on one enemy and destroying one can you free up your hands to destroy the other.

Therefore, the peace negotiation with Hou Jin was put on the agenda of Emperor Chongzhen.

Chen Xinjia from the Ministry of War happened to walk into Chongzhen's sight.

To be able to sit on the position of minister of the Ministry of War, Chen Xinjia did not rely on military exploits, but on flattery.

And Chongzhen liked his courtier very much.He would hand over all confidential matters to Chen Xinjia.

Therefore, while Chongzhen pretended to be fighting to the end, he asked Chen Xinjia to secretly contact Huang Taiji for peace talks.

The peace talks were very harmonious, Huang Taiji gave face very much, and Chongzhen was very happy.

It's just that a small conspiracy by Huang Taiji not only leaked all of He Tan's schemes, but also made Emperor Chongzhen immediately deal with Chen Xinjia, a loyal minister, in order to preserve his reputation.

And his starting point turned out to be Chen Xinjia, how can he say that he is indebted to the country?
As an emperor, you are so quick to sell your country and seek glory, and you still want your courtiers to be upright?

It's like the ancient version of Lord Rabbit entering a brothel!
Daming is rich all over the world, and the south is even more economically developed. Why do you not know how to use the southern land, but rigidly stick to Beijing?
Since the Ming Dynasty was able to move its capital from Nanjing to Beijing, it is natural that it can also move its capital back.

Historically, there were not a few people who moved their capital due to various reasons.
The Tang Dynasty moved the capital, the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the capital, and the Southern Song Dynasty moved the capital.

And from the perspective of historical development, even the economic development has been better after the capital was moved.

This is a strategic shift, and it can even be said that the temporary retreat is for better and greater victories.

And Daming has a very good foundation.

After all, after Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, he left a complete team in Nanjing.

Moreover, although the peasant uprising army blossomed everywhere at that time, the main targets were not the capital of Nanjing and Beijing.

What a good condition, it can even be said that as long as Emperor Chongzhen says a word, the remaining things will be taken care of by the courtiers.

Emperor Chongzhen had his own dignity, and even when the country was about to perish, this dignity had to be controlled to death.

He was a little embarrassed.

The suspicious and capricious emperor took up his airs again at this time.

"I am the Son of Heaven, how could I say the words of moving the capital?"

Besides, Beijing is the base that Chengzu has been sticking to since Chengzu, the emperor guards the gate of the country!What a burden this is.

You can't lose the face of the royal family.

Therefore, he set his sights on Chen Yan, the chief assistant of the cabinet at the time.

Suggesting the emperor to move the capital is a felony. Knowing that the capital can be moved successfully, then Chen Yan will be the one who takes the blame. At that time, he will find a reason to dismiss him, which not only preserves the face of the royal family, but also not Lost his prestige.

Emperor Chongzhen's calculations were good, but Chen Yan was not a fool.

When the ministers discussed the state affairs, Chen Yan never mentioned the word of moving the capital.The Chongzhen emperor who did it was unforgivable.

General Sun Chuanting once annihilated the entire army that Li Zicheng killed, forcing Li Zicheng to panic all the way.

And such a brave general, because of the battle between the main war faction and the main peace faction in the court, was directly sent to prison by Emperor Chongzhen!

When Emperor Chongzhen implemented a series of stupid operations, not only did he fail to eliminate the peasant army, but when the army became more and more prosperous, Emperor Chongzhen remembered that there was another genius general imprisoned by him.

When Sun Chuanting was released from prison, facing the hopeless battle situation, knowing that he was going to die, he still went to the forefront of rehabilitating without hesitation.

But what awaited him was the result of defeat and death.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen gave full play to his stupid talent of schizophrenia.

He even thought that Sun Chuanting was absconding in fear of crime.

This has led to the fact that no one in the court is willing to go through life and death for this Daming Jiangshan.

I can be Qin Hui, but you don't even want to be Zhao Gou, your majesty, isn't that a bit too much?
In 1644 AD, Li Zicheng broke through Ningwu Pass and marched towards Beijing.

Emperor Chongzhen panicked. When he asked the ministers how to solve it, these ministers who were frightened by Emperor Chongzhen's suspicion did not have any practical suggestions.

No way, Emperor Chongzhen let Guan Ning cavalry march into King Qin, and he actually added an absurd policy of "abandoning the land and not abandoning the people" in the imperial edict to Wu Sangui.

The battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and the opportunity to attack is fleeting. What's more, the capital is at stake, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry is the only army that can serve as king.But when receiving this order, Wu Sangui was at a loss.But he knew Chongzhen's character, and he dared not resist the order.

While ordering the army to withdraw from the Guanning area, he properly resettled the refugees, almost restoring the scene of Liu Bei leading the people across the river during the Three Kingdoms period.

The speed of the soldiers is gone, and the Guanning iron cavalry, which could have arrived in a day and a night, took countless refugees to arrive in Beijing after eight days.
At this time, the city of Beijing had already been destroyed, and the only thing left to Emperor Chongzhen was the crooked-neck tree on Meishan Mountain.

There are too many such things, and Chongzhen is too afraid that the 300-year-old court will die in his own hands.

He has no time to sleep, let alone think, what he does every day is to deal with political affairs.

He lost his judgment and even the most basic patience.

He changed batch after batch of cabinets and killed one minister after another.

Yang Sichang died, Hong Chengchou died, and Lu Xiangsheng died.Sun Chuanting died.

Chongzhen gave them power, but was unwilling to give them time.

Chongzhen couldn't see it, he thought his hard work could get everything back, he couldn't see his own shortcomings, he couldn't see where Daming's illness was.

And this so-called morbid pro-government, like spiritual opium, anesthetized him and continued to dream of Zhongxing Daming.

"Da Ming is about to perish, and he is about to perish in his own hands."

Perhaps Chongzhen thought so.

He also thought about why he had to bear this mess, this mess that had been accumulated for generations of emperors.

Maybe he really wants to be like Xiang Yu when he has nowhere to go and let out a long cry: "Heaven wants to kill me, it's not a crime of war!"

As a person, he is far from Xiang Yu.

Such a person will eventually bear the responsibility for the death of the Ming Dynasty, and will eventually become the last emperor.

It's just that what he, the emperor, did was a bit wronged.
