Mingxi Zong Zhu Youxiao, not only did the carpenter do well, but the facts proved that his strategic vision was also stronger than that of Emperor Chongzhen.

The Ming Dynasty is the last Han Dynasty in the history of our country. Thanks to the sense of national identity, the character of "the emperor guards the country, the king dies and he lives" , and the many strange emperors, the prime ministers of the time, the dictatorship of the eunuchs, and the loyal Donglin Party. , It also makes it a dynasty under the spotlight as a conversation capital in the streets.

As the fifteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian's elder brother, Mingxi Zong Zhu Youxiao is one of the "excellent" among these beings. His father, Zhu Changluo of Mingguangzong, was not liked by Emperor Wanli. Therefore, among the set of princes, Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun wanted to set up his favorite Fu Wang Zhu Changxun, but in the late Ming Dynasty, due to the rise of the cabinet status, the civil official group was in lack of coercion, and they obviously had the power of public opinion. Already had the ability to influence the situation of the DPRK, and finally after more than ten years of disputes over the country, the Emperor Wanli had to make a compromise and set up Zhu Changluo. In the forty-eight years of Wanli, Emperor Wanli passed away and Zhu Changluo came to the throne as Ming Guangzong. However, this Guangzong was indulging in sensuality. He died after a month of disapproval, leaving only the three major cases of the late Ming Dynasty that were called mysteries-the gangster case, the red pill case, and the imitation palace case.

, the 16-year-old Zhu Youxiao, the eldest son of Guangzong, also immediately took the throne. During his seven-year reign, he ignored the government, but did "The best carpenter among the emperors, and the best carpenter among the emperors." . In Liu Ruoyu’s "Zhu Zhong Zhi", it is recorded that Ming Xi Zong designed the extremely heavy bed in the palace and transformed it into a light folding bed; the small toy designed by Ming Xi Zong himself was taken by the eunuch. It is sold on the market, the sales are very hot, and it is very hot; Ming Xizong will also use the principle of connected devices to design fountains. Therefore, his title of emperor carpenter can no longer be erased.

But with regard to the evaluation of historical figures, people are obviously more concerned about the historical results he caused. As a result, these "ridiculous" actions of his were incompatible with the dangers of internal and external troubles faced by the Ming Dynasty in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and he was also called the faint king. This is not a slander. Within the Ming Dynasty he was in power, a rebellion broke out in the southwest. The Donglin Party fought one after another above the court, and there was another move to re-use the eunuch Wei Zhongxian.

But what we want to say is that as the emperor, he is also extremely unique in strategic vision. It is much higher than the emperor Chongzhen, the king of the subjugation, who has been filled with emotion. This point is particularly manifested in the Liaodong issue. prominent.

In Liaodong at that time, under the connivance of Li Chengliang, after decades of development, Jianzhou Jurchen Nurhachi gradually unified the various ministries of Jianzhou Jurchen and established the post-jin regime in 1616 the following year after Li Chengliang’s death. In 1617, the "Seven Hats" was announced to declare war on Daming, and the subsequent victory of Nurhaci at the Battle of Saerhu also made the Ming Dynasty stretched out in the face of Liaodong.

So what choice did Zhu Youxiao make? At that time, in the face of the rise of Houjin, Yuan Chonghuan once proposed to use this as a barrier in Daxing, Liaodong. His intention was obvious, and he hoped to trap Houjin to death. But for Yuan Chonghuan’s proposal, Zhu Youxiao, the emperor, opposed Yuan Chonghuan’s farming. The strategy puts forward six points to ask: "But what does it do to grant the military and civilians backwards? What allocations are made to ensure that the agricultural war is not neglected? What drills are made to make the peasants all soldiers? What kind of reason is enough to restrict the army? How to collect insurance and not to steal money?"

These also show from the side that as an emperor, his reflection on Yuan Chonghuan’s well-intentioned strategy and his personal opinions on the policy. And just like this, it was avoided that after Emperor Chongzhen came to power, Emperor Chongzhen heard that Yuan Chonghuan returned to the Liao Dynasty in five years and built the Guanning line of defense. It was impossible to defend against the enemy. Yuan Chonghuan’s line of defense of Guanning built by Yuan Chonghuan was unaware); this led to the financial exhaustion of the Ming Dynasty. After denying Yuan Chonghuan's strategy, it is not that he did not make deployments above Liaodong. Of course, the implementation of these measures is also under the hands of Wei Zhongxian, and the use of Xiong Tingbi, Bingbu Shangshu Zhao Nanxing, Sun Chengzong, and Bingbu Zuo Shilang Yuan Keli all depends on his approval.

Even later, when Wei Zhongxian’s authority was impeached by the self-proclaimed righteous Donglin Party members, for Ye Xianggao, who was aspiring to move to Wei Zhongxian, his criticism was . The state of the country is different from court officials. It is advisable to make adjustments urgently to dispel the doubts of the ministers.” Perhaps Zhu Youxiao, who was under the cloak of the carpenter emperor and the faint lord, was a king who was well versed in power and strategy, and he was deeply ingrained at that time. , The scourge of party disputes that cannot be eradicated, the best governance measure is obviously to support the eunuchs to compete with them, as long as one side is not the only one.

However, as a younger brother, Zhu Youjian didn’t understand until Li Zicheng broke the city of Beijing. When his brother Zhu Youxiao was still alive, he asked himself not to kill Wei Zhongxian’s good intentions, state governance, and simple black and white. , Right or wrong. Unfortunately, the big mistake has been made, and history cannot be reshaped. In 1644, Daming died.
