In fact, what was the Qing Dynasty? It was just a group of mobs. Since Nurhaci's rebellion, although he had won many victories, he did not take much advantage in the Ming army.

At that time, the main goal of the Ming court was also to bandits. After Chongzhen ascended the throne, he began to punish the eunuch party. As for the Qing Dynasty, the Later Jin Dynasty in Nurhaci's era only knew how to rob. Moreover, there were many internal conflicts, and it was common to plunder each other.

In the eyes of Daming, the Later Jin Dynasty was just a group of mountain barbarians who were eating raw meat and drinking blood. However, later Huang Taiji carried out a series of reforms to the social contradictions during the Nurhaci period and made a new policy of Tiancong.

After that, the Qing Dynasty began to grow gradually. At this time, the Ming Dynasty was corrupt and natural disasters were rampant. One was rising and the other was growing, and a small Qing Dynasty actually posed a huge threat to the Ming Dynasty.

In view of the historical experience and lessons of the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, Chongzhen was very concerned about the war in the border areas of Liaodong. However, he was not using people properly. Yuan Chonghuan, who had a big mouth, came to pacify Liao in five years.

Emperor Chongzhen was very stupid and naive at that time. He believed the lies of the old man Yuan Chonghuan. As a result, Huang Taiji detoured through Mongolia and took straight to Beijing.

Emperor Chongzhen panicked and found that Yuan Chonghuan was useless. Over the years, the Ming Dynasty spent a huge amount of Liao salary to support Yuan Chonghuan in resisting the Jin Dynasty. As a result, he was defeated by Huangtai Kyi to the city of Beijing.

Yuan Chonghuan opened his big mouth and was very capable of fooling him. He didn't say that he killed Mao Wenlong, but he repeatedly breached his trust in the suspicious and suspicious Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen could bear this anger and wanted to play with the emperor. Why didn't he seek death? In the end, Chongzhen was furious and chopped Yuan Chonghuan down.

Of course, Yuan Chonghuan was actually a polarized figure. It was not right to just slander him. Yuan Chonghuan proposed the five-year strategy of pacifying Liao with the right way, fighting is strange, and harmony is the right way", "The law is gradual but not sudden, and the reality is not empty."

The specific strategy is to follow the characteristics of the Manchu Jurchen Army's good at field battles but insufficient ability to attack cities. The Ming army mainly defended the city, seized the opportunity to get out of the gaps, and immediately went to fight, eliminated a small group of Manchu Jurchen Army, and then used peace talks and pacification as an auxiliary means. When the Ming army was sufficiently strong, it would steadily advance, erode the territory of the Later Jin Kingdom, gradually compress the strategic space of the Later Jin Kingdom, and eventually destroyed the Later Jin Kingdom.

If you meet a chronic emperor, maybe Yuan Chonghuan did the right thing. But Chongzhen was also a guy who was eager for quick success and instant benefits, and he wanted to revive the world all at once. The result was that he met the wrong person at the wrong time, which led to a huge tragedy.

Yuan Chonghuan was wrong, but he definitely made contributions. It was not objective to just slander it. Zhu Cixuan even thought that he would rehabilitate this person in the future. At least, some of Yuan Chonghuan's achievements cannot be erased.

Huang Taiji has suffered a lot of losses at Zhu Cixuan's hands, especially Haoge, who wanted to kill him, but was killed by Zhu Cixuan.

Even now, Zhu Cilang still firmly believes that the biggest threat to the Ming Dynasty came from the bandits. If Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others in the country were eliminated, they would never have peace.

In fact, Zhu Cilang's judgment was also correct. Of course, Zhu Cilang should know that the bandits were terrible, and the Qing Dynasty had to be careful. First eliminate the bandits, then turn back and deal with Huang Taiji.

However, in the face of the Ming Dynasty during the Little Ice Age, it is not easy to completely eradicate the bandits. The refugees could not have enough food and could only be forced to rebel. If they killed Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhao Zicheng and Qian Xianzhong would not appear again.

Now that Li Zicheng occupied Yingcheng, he quickly began to expand his territory. He took De'an Prefecture as his base camp and Yingcheng as his rocker to quickly radiate to the surrounding area of ​​Huguang.

Taking over Yingcheng, Li Zicheng killed all the local big families and obtained a lot of money and food. With the money and food, he held the rudder that turned the world around.

The continued drought caused crops to wither and locust plagues were rampant. The people in Huguang could not survive and all defected to Li Zicheng.

The slogan Li Zicheng played was also extremely attractive, and he had something to eat when he joined the King of Chuang.

For the hungry people, the three words "food" are enough to make them fight for it. Responding to it gathered, and Li Zicheng's army expanded rapidly.

Even Zhang Xianzhong, who was forced into Sichuan, couldn't help but exclaim when he heard this: "I might as well be self-confidence."

Since Zhu Cilang traveled to the Ming Dynasty in this era, Zhang Xianzhong's sense of existence has always been low. This is mainly because he had no confrontation with Zhu Cilang. Moreover, Zhang Xianzhong's long-distance escaped to the Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, and the threat to the court was relatively small.

Li Zicheng had great ambitions. After occupying Huguang, he focused his attention on Henan.

In Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen was reported by disasters in various places, and his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly: "Why, why did God torture my people so much? What kind of disaster will come to my head? Why did he harm my people?"

"Long live, I will die." The civil and military officials below knelt all over the ground. Now, it is the time for them to admit their mistakes.

"It's all my fault. I have let down the holy grace. I wish I could share the worries of the court."

"The old minister is stupid and old, but he doesn't know how to do his best for the court. Long live the emperor, it's all his ministers."

"Disasters in various places have nothing to do with Master Long Live. Master Long Live must not underestimate himself. At the moment, it is time to think about how to provide disaster relief."

"How else can we provide disaster relief? Our Gyeonggi has a hard time doing this year. Disaster relief is the money and food there."

"Long live the prince, the prince, I wonder if His Highness has any good plans."

Finally, there was a person who spoke, and these officials who were in vain and were blaming each other and doing superficial work was perfect. No one was responsible for the disaster relief.

Chongzhen also knew that these ministers were unreliable. They fought against tiger brothers and fought with father and son. Think about it, maybe they were the only son, so maybe there was a good idea.

"Where is the prince?" Chongzhen asked.

Wang Chengen, who was standing beside him, whispered: "Long live, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, left the capital early in the morning, said yes, said he went to the Hu Ben Army camp outside the city."

At this time, Zhu Cilang went to the Hu Ben Army camp to do something again. Chongzhen is not good at asking anymore. The drought, locust plagues and plagues in various places are spreading, and the people are in dire straits. Chongzhen has no choice but to do what to do.

As the house leaked and rained, the Huguang war report finally arrived in the capital quickly.

"Urgent report, Huguang urgent report! Huguang urgent report!" The eunuch ordered the eunuch to trot all the way and ran into the morning court place of the Huangji Hall hall panting. Regardless of the officials who were attending court, he knelt down and said, "Long live the emperor, Huguang urgent military information!"

Emergency military information, this is a major event that cannot be delayed. Wang Chengen hurriedly walked down and reported the urgent report to Huguang.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard the four urgent words of Huguang, he felt a little "splied" in his heart and secretly complained that something was wrong.
