After Zhu Youjian acceded to the throne, Yuan Chonghuan was reopened. Wei Zhongxian was frightened because of his meritorious service in defending the capital. Finally, Wei Zhongxian was impeached for "making peace with the Qing court" and killing Mao Longwen without authorization. Coupled with the paranoia and paranoia of Ming Sizong, Chongzhen thought that he was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and he was executed in the middle of the year and his property was confiscated. The real Yuan Chonghuan in history is a controversial historical figure. He was a great anti-Qing fighter, but he was deified by the Qing court. Why?
First of all, this is the bitter fruit planted by Yuan Chonghuan himself. In the process of confronting the late Jin Dynasty, Yuan Chonghuan virtually became Nurhachi's accomplice. The war between the Ming Dynasty and the latter Jin Dynasty didn't end so soon, because Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao, eradicated the menace of the latter Jin Dynasty, and finally gave Nurhachi a chance. In the process of attacking Beijing in the late Jin Dynasty, as soon as Yuan Chonghuan left Ningyuan, the army in the late Jin Dynasty pursued after him, approaching the capital. And in the battle, Yuan Chonghuan's strategic plan was wrong, and he didn't make the deployment at the first time. For various reasons, Yuan Chonghuan was suspected.
Secondly, the Qing court deified Yuan Chonghuan in order to consolidate its country and safeguard the interests of the Qing court. It is precisely because of Yuan Chonghuan's suspected murder that Yuan Chonghuan established the image of a national hero in the hearts of the people. In order to safeguard the interests of the Qing Dynasty and rehabilitate Yuan Chonghuan, the Qing court used people's sympathy for Yuan Chonghuan to win people's hearts. So, deify Yuan Chonghuan.
