Chapter 320 The Ming Dynasty died in Wanli, and Emperor Chongzhen was just a backer

The light and shadow projection screen display is completely over here.Next is Li Hao's comments.

"Later generations were deeply unwilling to be reconciled to the destruction of Qi's army, so they left a comment through the ages. 'It's easy for grass bandits in Pingshan, but it's hard for thieves in Ping Dynasty!"

The most harmful thing in the court is not the thief in clothes, but Emperor Wanli, a useless king who has no ability and likes to mess around.

Emperor Wanli is the No.13 emperor of Ming Dynasty.

After him, there were three emperors in Ming Dynasty, and there were 24 years of national fortune.

Emperor Wanli has been in office for 48 years. On the surface, it seems that Emperor Wanli has not done badly.

Wanli's three major campaigns were also won.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the Japanese chieftain who came all over the country, was also severely taught by the Ming army.

But these are appearances.

The reason why the Wanli Three Marches were able to win was because his father, Emperor Longqing Zhu Zaihou left him a rich legacy, and the reform of the first assistant Zhang Juzheng accumulated a lot of money and food for him.

Emperor Longqing was a good emperor who worked hard to govern, and he was a truly underestimated emperor.Since the first day of his ascension to the throne, he has carried out strict reforms, preparing to completely cut off the troubles of the southern Japanese and the northern captives.

Although he has only been in power for six years, he has cleared up the Ming government and the people who were made into a mess by Emperor Jiajing, who was cultivating immortals and madmen.

After the death of Emperor Longqing, the Wanli Emperor who had just ascended the throne was young, and Zhang Juzheng, who became the chief assistant, continued to practice reforms.

Before Zhang Juzheng's death, the officers and soldiers of Ming Dynasty, who had been sluggish for decades, took on a new look.Whether it is the southern or northern military, they have all become elites in all battles.

The reason why Emperor Wanli was able to win the three major campaigns was due to the rich family background left to him by Emperor Longqing and Zhang Juzheng.

Let's take a look at what happened to Daming before Emperor Wanli died?
There were constant mutinies in various places, including the Guangdong mutiny, the Yunnan mutiny, the Yunnan mutiny, and four mutinies in Liaodong, a border defense area.

Most of these mutinies were triggered by eunuchs and tax collectors sent by Emperor Wanli to various places.

Because he was worried that the soldiers would be too strong, Emperor Wanli even acquiesced in allowing officials at all levels to be greedy and deprived of military pay, which eventually left hundreds of thousands of troops without combat power.

The Daming navy built by Yu Dayou once ruled the entire Southeast Asia and wiped out the Japanese pirate navy in the battle of resisting the Japanese and aiding Korea. However, in the last years of Wanli, the extremely powerful Guangdong navy was abolished and only one third of the ships were left. The Fujian Navy, which shoulders the heavy responsibility of coastal defense, has only more than 800 people left.

The southeast coast has once again become the world of pirates.

In the northeast, Nurhachi mobilized troops with the Seven Great Hate, and led tens of thousands of cavalry to sweep across Liaodong.

In the Battle of Saerhu, the Hou Jin army created a military miracle of annihilating [-] Ming troops in one day.

It's not that the post-Jin army's combat power is against the sky, but that the Ming army has long since become a smug under the intentional or unintentional abandonment of military equipment by the monarchs and ministers of the Manchu dynasty for more than ten years.

Except for the few hundred members of each general who have a little combat power, the other Ming troops have no armor, no weapons, no training at ordinary times, and have never even touched a firearm. Soldiers with rusty muskets in the arsenal went to fight against the elite Houjin soldiers in iron armor. Of course, it is not surprising that the entire army was wiped out.

Looking at the comparison between the combat power of the Ming army when Wanli was first in power and the combat power of the late Wanli army in his later years, it can be found that the reason why Houjin was able to lay the foundation of the country in the remote northeast was not because of how capable Nurhachi was. But Emperor Wanli is really bad!

Therefore, some historians in later generations said that the Ming Dynasty seemed to have perished at the hands of Emperor Chongzhen, but in fact it was at the hands of Wanli.

The poor Emperor Chongzhen just gave Wanli a scapegoat for the subjugation of the country. "

This is the end of the comments on Emperor Wanli.

A group of princes and ministers in the Ming Dynasty were completely blown up.

Zhu Yuanzhang: "I didn't understand until now what that old Confucian Liu Bowen meant by Wanziwansun? It turns out that the one who perishes the Ming Dynasty is Wanli, and the one who suffers the consequences of the Ming Dynasty is Wanli's grandson, Emperor Chongzhen."

Zhu Di: "Emperor Wanli, have your brains been eaten by dogs? Why did you allow the officers and soldiers of the towns to slaughter the Qi family army?"

Emperor Chongzhen: "Thinking of my grandpa, I just burst into tears."

Emperor Wanli: "Taizu Chengzu, don't just scold me. I don't want to. But I was deceived by the civil and military officials in the court. They told me that the Qi family army was going to rebel, so I acquiesced in their behavior."

Zhu Di: "You are a pig!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Wanli, grandson of yours, I'm asking you now, are Wang Bao and others who conspired to massacre Qi's army dead now? Are those imperial officials who impeached Qi Jiguang still alive?"

Emperor Wanli: "Report to Grandpa Taizu, some of them are already dead. Most of them are still alive."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Then kill them all, and peel them all! To comfort the souls of the Qi family army."

Emperor Wanli: "Grandfather Taizu, there are too many of them."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "So what if there are more? Didn't you hear what Dr. Tongtian said, these are thieves in clothes ten times more terrifying than the grass bandits in the mountains! The more you kill, the better off the common people in the sky will be."

Emperor Wanli: "I listen to Grandpa Taizu."

Zhu Di: "If I can pass through, I will chop you up as an unfilial descendant first."

Emperor Wanli: "..."

Emperor Wanli, who returned to reality, did not kill the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Because it has been the 40th year of Wanli at this time, although Emperor Wanli, who has been inactive for more than ten years, can barely use the contradictions among ministers to control the government, he has lost his real control.

If he really dared to raise the butcher's knife against the officials of the Manchu Dynasty according to Zhu Yuanzhang's teachings, he might be killed by the officials of the Manchu Dynasty before Nurhachi raised his troops!

Still, he managed to make three changes.

The first change: Killed a group of frontier generals who were most active in massacring the Qi family army, and appointed Qi Jin as the general soldier, asked him to go to Yiwu and other places to recruit [-] miners, provide enough soldiers and food, and let Qi Jin train a A brand new Qi family army.

The second change: abolish the mine supervisors sent to various places, and issue an imperial edict to punish oneself.

This change directly saved Ma Qiancheng's life.Ma Qiancheng offended Qiu Chengyun, the mine supervisor, and was just thrown into prison, but he had not had time to die.

As soon as Qiu Chengyun fell, Ma Qiancheng was released naturally.

The third change: Li Chengliang, an old man who raised his own self-respect, was transferred to the capital, Liu Ting, a fierce general, was transferred to Liaodong as the general of Liaodong, and Ma Qiancheng and Qin Liangyu and his wife were transferred to Liaodong as the guard of Shanhaiguan.

In order for the White Pole Army to pose a real threat to Nurhachi.

Emperor Wanli allowed the Baigan Army to expand to [-] soldiers.

And the following facts proved that during the Wanli period, many things could be redeemed.
