The emperors of the Ming Dynasty acted so crazy, and Chongzhen was probably the craziest one.

At least there are some signs to follow when someone goes crazy, but he goes crazy but it makes people unable to understand.

For example, when it comes to dealing with Yuan Chonghuan.

Later generations have commented on Yuan Chonghuan's right and wrong merits and demerits for hundreds of years but have not yet reached a result. However, this right and wrong merits and demerits are not the most important. The most important thing is why he executed Yuan Chonghuan in Lingchi.

There is an old saying that changing generals at the last stage is a taboo in military strategists. He is better, cut a commander into pieces and executed by Ling Chi!

Who dares to work hard for him when he does this?

The battle between the two armies is inherently intrigue, and the enemy can use any strategy.

Huang Taiji detoured thousands of miles from Jizhou Town to break into the pass. This was just a small plan.

When leading troops to fight, there is no way to do anything without strategy.

Huang Taiji knew that the Guanning Jin defense line guarded by Yuan Chonghuan could not be broken, so he turned to attack from Jizhou Town. This was normal. It was abnormal for him to go to the Guanning Jin defense line to fight Yuan Chonghuan to death.

With such a normal little trick, Yuan Chonghuan responded quickly and led the Guanning army to chase Huang Taiji all the way to the capital. He fought with him for a long time, drove him away and lifted the siege of the capital.

This is when fighting, the enemy commander takes a small trick, and our commander responds, and sometimes he may suffer some losses.

Yuan Chonghuan failed to let Jiannu suffer a loss. Ningyuan won a great victory, Nurhaci suffered a great loss, Ningjin won a great victory, Huang Taiji suffered a great loss.

In a battle between the two sides, it is normal to suffer some losses, but it is abnormal to kill the coach Lingchi if he suffers some losses.

Not doing that!

If you do this, who dares to be the head coach?

Who can influence the enemy's ideas during the war? Can Yuan Chonghuan let Huang Taiji not attack Jizhou Town?

It would be fine if Yuan Chonghuan’s affairs, after all, later generations have been fighting for hundreds of years but have not yet argued clearly. So let’s just pretend that he is guilty!

The problem is that Sun Chengzong, who later succeeded Yuan Chonghuan as the head coach, is not guilty.

After he led all the troops of kings to recover all the cities on the front line of the capital and drove Jiannu out of the pass, Chongzhen actually believed the slander and dismissed him!

This is outrageous.

If you suffer a little loss, you will be executed by Lingchi, and you will be dismissed even if you win. What kind of commander does Chongzhen want?

Or, what kind of officials did Chongzhen like?

He doesn't seem to like those who can fight well!

He doesn't like Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Chengzong.

He also didn't like Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting.

The people he likes are strange.

For example, Wen Tiren, Xue Guoguan, Zhang Zhifa, and Zhou Yanru, these four were the cabinet chief ministers he carefully selected. From the fourth to the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, a total of thirteen years, Wen Tiren was the cabinet chief minister for seven or eight years alone, Xue Guoguan, Zhang Zhifa, and Zhou Yanru, each of them was two or three years.

In other words, from the fourth year of Chongzhen to the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty was basically controlled by these four people.

As for their abilities

Perhaps their greatest ability is to flatter and fool Chongzhen.

There are also Yang Sichang and Hong Chengchou. He is also confused about these two people.

Yang Sichang was in charge of Annei. This guy gathered hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ming Dynasty to encircle and suppress the rebels, spending countless food and money. He suppressed them vigorously for three years. As a result, neither the rebels Li Zicheng nor Zhang Xianzhong were wiped out, and he died himself.

Hong Chengchou was responsible for resisting foreign powers. Chongzhen handed over all the troops that the Ming Dynasty could mobilize to him and asked him to fight Huang Taiji. As a result, he made an outrageous mistake. The food supply was cut off. The main force of the Ming army collapsed without fighting with anyone. In the end, he was captured and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty!

These people

How to say it?

I can only say that Chongzhen went crazy and it was really a bit incomprehensible.

Why did he reuse these people? No one could figure it out at that time. I can only say that he was really crazy!

However, some bosses in later generations were a bit similar to Chongzhen.

Many bosses who insist on their own actions and eventually led to the bankruptcy of their own company were as crazy as Chongzhen.

They don’t like those employees who work hard, and they don’t like those managers with outstanding abilities. They just like those who flatter and make them happy.

If someone asks them why you do this, your company will collapse if it is done like this.

They will definitely answer, even if my own company is in trouble or bankruptcy, what's wrong?

As a result, when the company goes bankrupt, they will complain again that it is all caused by you!

This is probably the case with Chongzhen. My own Ming Dynasty must do this. Even if the country is destroyed, what's wrong?

As a result, when the country was truly destroyed, he complained again that since the seventeenth year of my ascension to the throne, although I was poor and unfair, I was angry with the emperor, but my ministers were all wronged and the rebels were approaching the capital.

The saying "All the ministers misled me" seems to make sense. Question: Who promoted the "officials" and who reused it?

Wen Tiren, Xue Guoguan, Zhang Zhifa, Zhou Yanru, Yang Sichang, and Hong Chengchou were all promoted and used by him!

It’s not that the Ming Dynasty was unable to be a capable official, so he didn’t need to blame him, who else?

For example, at this moment, Sun Chengzong won’t say anything, he has already opened it.

Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of these five provinces, is a capable minister!

The Anshe Rebellion was so great that the former governor of Sichuan Xu Keqiu, former governor of Guizhou Wang Sanshan, and former governor of five provinces Cai Fuyi were all handed over to others, but he pacified them.

This is not called a capable minister and an official. What is a capable minister and an official?

The problem is that Chongzhen just doesn't need it, or rather, he doesn't transfer it back to the court to entrust important tasks.

What is this kind of anti-intellectual behavior?

In fact, he is not anti-intellectual, mainly because he is not as smart as others.

The reason why Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of the five provinces, was left unrespected in the southwest and died in office in a frustration mainly because the Zhejiang Party did not want him to return to the court to seize power.

At this time, the Zhejiang Party was at its peak in the court. The cabinet chief Wen Tiren, the Minister of War Min Mengde, the Minister of Personnel Min Hongxue and others were all Zhejiang Party. Can they ask Zhu Xieyuan to return to the court to seize their power?

Of course not.

Not only did they not allow Zhu Xieyuan to return to the court to seize their power, they also ordered people to constantly impeach Zhu Xieyuan, intending to dismiss Zhu Xieyuan from his post and investigate, and then seize all the interests in the southwest.

And their breakthrough was on Shizhuxuan's body.

Because Ma Qiancheng captured Chongqing while fighting against She Chongming, he was stationed in Kuizhou because of encirclement and suppression of rebels.

You, a chieftain, actually occupied the two palaces of the imperial court. Do you want to rebel?

Chongzhen was fooled by the "single" of the Zhejiang Party and became angry immediately.

Not only did he dismissed Ma Qiancheng as the general of Sichuan, but he also wanted to arrest Ma Qiancheng as a rebel.

Are you, you are seeking death!

Zhu Qizhu was also angry when he heard the news.

Originally, he thought that Chongzhen would not have dealt with Ma Qiancheng at this time if he had a little brain.

Because Ma Qiancheng held heavy troops and had outstanding achievements, and more importantly, almost all the chieftains in the southwest surrendered to his command.

To put it bluntly, if Ma Qiancheng really rebels, the people he pulled out can scare the corrupt officials of the Zhejiang Party who are not aware of the so-called "corrupt officials".

You should know that there are more than 50 toasts of all sizes in the southwest. Even if each toast only produces 5,000 troops, it will be an army of 250,000!

If Ma Qiancheng is added, the 300,000 troops can be easily pulled out.

Chongzhen actually listened to the slander of Wen Tiren and Min Mengde, and wanted to deal with Ma Qiancheng at this time!

How crazy is this?

He didn't think about it, who could withstand the invincible white-rod soldiers, plus the army of more than 200,000 chieftains!
