But in any case, these figures who dared to turn the tide in the late Ming Dynasty made their own choices in the face of right and wrong. So we want to compare Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting and Yuan Chonghuan. Who can be the first general in the late Ming Dynasty? It is necessary to analyze what they did during their military service and the advantages and disadvantages of the measures.
Yuan Chonghuan, who failed in the five-year campaign and was difficult to get rid of the suspicion of collaborating with the enemy, was recommended to Emperor Chongzhen by Sun Chengzong, a senior official. Once, Chongzhen had a high degree of trust in him. On the basis of the defensive line of the fortress in western Liaoning, Sun Chengzong, we should ask for money, need people, and give power. But as soon as Yuan Chonghuan took office, he went to the front line without sorting out the military forces for the coming war. Also did not trim the city, guard against the attack of the latter.
Instead, he went to Dongjiang Town, which played a great role in curbing the late Jin Dynasty, and killed the commander-in-chief Mao Longwen. It directly caused the chaos of the military forces in Dongjiang Town due to ineffective suppression, and the successor company commanders lacked prestige in Dongjiang Town, which constantly caused local foot soldiers to flee or surrender. The troops of Dongjiang Town led by Kong Youde were defeated and fled directly to Denglai area. Later, because of the conflict with the rich people passing by, they directly mutinied in Denglai for several months.
However, Yuan Chonghuan had no outstanding achievements in the defensive war in Ningjin except for a victory in Ningyuan. On the contrary, the late Jin cavalry bypassed Mongolia many times, but Yuan Chonghuan knew nothing about it. The late Jin army invaded the surrounding areas of Beijing, causing heavy losses to the Ming army and civilians. The Liao Dynasty, which was peaceful for five years, was full of lofty sentiments and became a laughing stock in the face of these defeats. Finally, Emperor Chongzhen lost all patience. Whether Yuan Chonghuan collaborates with the enemy or not, it doesn't matter in front of these things. Don't take the position of Du Shi. Let's be a scapegoat to vent our anger against the people!
The name of Yan shocked the central plains, and the first step will kill you! The word "Yan" represents evil among the people in China, but in the mouth of the peasant army, it has the title of "Yan Lu". This nickname is not only an affirmation of Lu Xiangsheng's hard record, but also represents the peasant army's sincere awe of Lu Xiangsheng and its leading Tianxiong Army. As a scholar, Lu Xiangsheng served as a military commander. Rather than an interdisciplinary problem, I explored a set of effective methods to eliminate the peasant army.
Under his unified planning, the peasant army was once beaten and compressed in several specific areas, making it difficult to move. Fortunately, with the help of the nobles, the late Jin army once again entered the surrounding area of Gyeonggi, and had to give up the hard-won results and lead the army diligently. Because of Chongzhen's idea of making peace, the imperial etiquette imposed more constraints on Lu Xiangsheng, who was the main battle, which led Lu Xiangsheng to face the superior army of the late Jin Dynasty alone. However, Lu Xiangsheng, a pure man, fought to the death and died at the hands of courtiers and eunuchs who held him back.
Few contemporary ministers can compare with Lu Xiangsheng on character. When it comes to running the army, no one wants to eat and drink with the soldiers in the days when the Tianxiong army formed by themselves is short of food. As far as talent is concerned, only he can really make a living by defeating the peasant army by military action. The most admirable thing about him is that he takes the lead in almost every desperate situation. Although it inspired the combat effectiveness of Tianxiong Army, it also made Lu Xiangsheng go forward and die in battle.
The last straw of the Ming Dynasty reached the imperial court and died in the Ming Dynasty. By the time Sun Chuanting was able to take over, the situation in the Ming Dynasty had collapsed to unbearable levels. Similarly, as a civil servant, I have a general understanding of these three aspects. His main achievement was achieved in the struggle against the peasant army. Compared with several other straw bags, Sun Chuanting was not only handsome, but also surprised Emperor Chongzhen when he fought against the peasant army. In particular, he killed Gao Yingxiang, the former king, and Li Zicheng, who was beaten out of the water by him, had to make a dash for the road, which made his reputation once reach the peak of civil service.
These achievements have proved to some extent that Sun Chuanting has the means to deal with the huge peasant army. But the premise is that no one can hold back, such as a long-distance runner who has repeatedly lost and fought. And Yang Sichang, the troublemaker of the imperial court, casually made trouble for the generals and turned victory into failure.
However, due to insufficient preparation, Emperor Chongzhen rushed out to rescue Kaifeng. As a result, I met the main force of Li Zicheng's army and was defeated. Sun Chuanting was killed on the spot, and Daming perished the following year.
Conclusion: As far as records are concerned, Lu Xiangsheng ranks first among the three countries. Lu Xiangsheng is better than the other two in personal morality and army management! From the perspective of overall planning, only under the overall planning of Lu Xiangsheng, the peasant army has almost no way out, and it is just around the corner to quell civil strife!
It's a pity that such a good minister died on the battlefield of internal and external strangulation. Only this, Daming died!
