We all know that there is a saying that "the court dies, and the Ming Dynasty dies." This sentence was summed up by later historians, and it really makes sense. This is not to say how fierce Sun Chuanting is, but mainly the nature of Sun Chuanting. In the early days, the refugees who couldn't fight the climate with well-trained troops had no pressure, but later, when Li Chuang became a climate, he couldn't help. After Sun Chuanting Fu's comeback, the platform was exactly the same as that of Yuan Da's bluff, and he made a "five thousand flat rush". This is the same as Yuan Chonghuan's "Five Years of Peace in Liao Dynasty" used to fool the emperor. But even so, the real significance of dying in the imperial court and the Ming Dynasty is that the army led by Sun Chuanting is the only one that is directly loyal to the Ming Emperor, that is, the only one that can be adjusted during the Chongzhen period.
After the fall of Sun Bu, Chongzhen could no longer move the warlord troops. Warlords like Wu Sangui simply ignored the orders of Chongzhen. At this time, there were millions of troops in the Ming dynasty, but they could only wait for Beijing to break. Of course, some people say that Sun Chuanting was forced to death by Chongzhen, but there is nothing wrong with this sentence. Although Sun Chuanting fooled Chongzhen with a letter to the platform, when facing Li Zicheng, Sun Chuanting knew that he was a few pounds, and he was short of troops, and all of them were recruits, so he wanted to stick to Tongguan and bide his time. But Emperor Chongzhen sat in the middle and forced Sun Chuanting to fight without knowing it. As a result, the only command army was abolished. If Chongzhen does not engage in micro-manipulation, there is still hope for the Ming Dynasty. If Sun Chuanting stops the peasant army in Li Zicheng from Tongguan, the following will happen.
Judging from the overall situation of 1644, the situation of Emperor Chongzhen was not very bad, but better than that of many surviving historical dynasties. First of all, the territory, Hubei, has hundreds of thousands of troops guarded by Zuo Liangyu. With his strength, it is basically impossible for the peasant army to make trouble in Hubei. This can ensure that Hubei will not be lost. Although he is a bit of a king in it, as long as the great god Emperor Chongzhen is still there, he won't listen to the order to attack, but the order to protect himself can still be observed, after all, for himself. In the same way, although Wu Sangui is not as ambitious as Zuo Liangyu, his Ning Guan fighters can still hold Shanhaiguan and Liaodong.
And Li Zicheng in the case of unable to break through Tongguan, probably in order to slowly king, grain, and chongzhen peace talks. After all, Li Zicheng even went to Beijing and wanted to talk with Emperor Chongzhen. At this time, as long as Chongzhen agreed to the Li Zicheng peace talks and strengthened the defense of Datong, the Qing army could be well prevented from entering the customs again. It can be said that as long as it persists to around 1650, the weather will get warmer, the famine will pass, and the overall shape will change fundamentally. But Zhu Youjian, the "micro-master" and the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen, obviously screwed up. Hey!
