2nd October 1627: The Chongzhen Emperor, the last ruler of the Ming Dynasty, ascends the throne
Zhu Youjian was born in 1611 and came to power at the age of 16 following the death of his older brother, the Tianqi Emperor. His era name Chongzhen means ‘honourable and auspicious’ but his reign, and the Ming Dynasty, were to end with his suicide in the face of widespread rebellion.
The Chongzhen Emperor inherited a dynasty on the brink of collapse. Economic instability and social unrest were rife while threats from external forces, including the encroaching Manchu tribes, also threatened the stability of the empire. Within the imperial court the emperor battled against corrupt officials but, faced with a depleted treasury he struggled to implement the necessary reforms while his impatience saw him dismiss or even execute ministers at an unprecedented rate.

Unveiling China's Forbidden Parallel: Xi and the Legacy of Last Emperor of Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
In October 2023, the removal of the book "崇祯: Diligent Emperor of a Fallen Empire" in China, ostensibly due to printing issues, underscored the Chinese Communist Party's control over historical narratives. The book inadvertently draws parallels between Emperor 崇祯 and Xi Jinping, revealing shared traits such as ambitious aspirations exceeding capabilities, centralized power, a desire for reputation without accountability, and a fondness for purges. Both leaders face challenges in global conflicts despite lacking expertise. The incident brought attention to the book, emphasizing the CCP's sensitivity to historical comparisons. The upcoming segment will explore the differences between 崇祯 and Xi Jinping, examining why 崇祯 might vehemently oppose such a parallel.

The story of Chinese Emperor (长河东逝MV)【明朝/崇祯、永历】
Here is an affecting MV about Emperor Chongzhen & Emperor Yongli,Ming Dynasty(1368-1644 AD)in China.
对明朝历史感兴趣的,推荐《明朝那些事儿》:
http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_49861fd5010003ii.html
思宗朱由检(1610-1644) 年号崇祯,1627年即位,在位17年。即位后,诛杀魏忠贤,颇为勤政,勉力振作,无奈积重难反,各地农民起义爆发,北方皇太极不断骚扰入侵。1644年李自成攻入北京,崇祯帝在景山自缢身亡。时年35岁。死前于袍服上大书勿伤百姓一人。
永历是南明政权的年号,永历皇帝朱由榔是朱明王朝末代皇帝,是当时全国以反清复明为目标的各武装奉为正朔的统帅。永历十六年四月十五日朱由榔被吴三桂绞杀于昆明。他的败亡标志着朱明王朝灭亡,也标志着汉民族最后一个封建王朝终结。我们只能看着落后屠戮了先进,野蛮吞噬了文明,中华民族从此由盛至衰。

The Nightmare of the Ming Dynasty: The Paranoid and Murderous Emperor Chongzhen
Please subscribe to my channel:https://www.youtube.com/@WisdomAndTao
Hello everyone, welcome to Wisdom Path. Today we will explore the missteps of the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen. His paranoia, inclination to kill, stubbornness, incompetence, and tendency to shirk responsibility, coupled with his lack of statecraft and inability to appoint the right people, directly or indirectly led to the downfall of the Ming Dynasty. Let's examine the stories behind these failures.
Suspicion and Killing, Losing Wise Officials:
Yuan Chonghuan: A prominent anti-Qing general, Yuan Chonghuan achieved significant victories at Ningyuan and Ningjin, boosting the morale of the Ming army. However, Emperor Chongzhen, influenced by slander, suspected him of colluding with the enemy and ha...

Zhu Youjian was born in 1611 and came to power at the age of 16 following the death of his older brother, the Tianqi Emperor. His era name Chongzhen means ‘honourable and auspicious’ but his reign, and the Ming Dynasty, were to end with his suicide in the face of widespread rebellion.
The Chongzhen Emperor inherited a dynasty on the brink of collapse. Economic instability and social unrest were rife while threats from external forces, including the encroaching Manchu tribes, also threatened the stability of the empire. Within the imperial court the emperor battled against corrupt officials but, faced with a depleted treasury he struggled to implement the necessary reforms while his impatience saw him dismiss or even execute ministers at an unprecedented rate. Meanwhile persistent drought and famine acted as a catalyst for peasant uprisings in the countryside.
As the Manchu threat on the northern border intensified, the Chongzhen Emperor increased taxation and conscription, which fuelled internal rebellion. By 1641 rebel armies had begun to establish their own kingdoms within his lands, and the emperor’s own eunuch generals had begun to turn against him. As rebels sacked Beijing on 25 April 1644, the Chongzhen Emperor climbed the small Meishan hill near his palace and hanged himself.
The emperor’s suicide signalled the collapse of the Ming Dynasty. This was followed by a long period of political turmoil before the Qing Dynasty, founded by the Manchus, consolidated its control.

Please subscribe to my channel:https://www.youtube.com/@WisdomAndTao
Hello everyone, welcome to Wisdom Path. Today we will explore the missteps of the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen. His paranoia, inclination to kill, stubbornness, incompetence, and tendency to shirk responsibility, coupled with his lack of statecraft and inability to appoint the right people, directly or indirectly led to the downfall of the Ming Dynasty. Let's examine the stories behind these failures.
Suspicion and Killing, Losing Wise Officials:
Yuan Chonghuan: A prominent anti-Qing general, Yuan Chonghuan achieved significant victories at Ningyuan and Ningjin, boosting the morale of the Ming army. However, Emperor Chongzhen, influenced by slander, suspected him of colluding with the enemy and had him executed. This resulted in a collapse of the northeastern defense line.
Other Loyal Officials: The emperor's suspicion led to the unjust punishment or dismissal of several loyal officials like Gao Qiqian, Yang Sichang, and Sun Chengzong, weakening the government's effectiveness and military capability.
Financial Crisis and Public Suffering:
Tax Policies: Under Emperor Chongzhen, the abolition of commercial taxes and the increased reliance on agricultural taxes placed a heavy burden on farmers. The imposition of additional taxes to fund military campaigns exacerbated the financial strain on the populace, leading to widespread suffering and unrest.
Consequences: These harsh tax policies contributed to numerous peasant uprisings, further destabilizing the country.
Rigid Political System:
Factional Struggles: Intense factionalism within the court, particularly between the Donglin Party and the eunuchs, created a chaotic political environment. Emperor Chongzhen's inability to mediate these conflicts resulted in frequent changes in officials, further disrupting governance.
Lack of Trust: The emperor's mistrust of his ministers prevented effective administration and led to a breakdown in the functioning of the state apparatus.
Failed Foreign Policy:
Against the Later Jin (Qing): Emperor Chongzhen failed to effectively unite with other regional powers, such as the Mongols, to resist the invasion of the Later Jin, leading to repeated losses and the eventual rise of the Qing Dynasty.
In conclusion, although Emperor Chongzhen had the desire and made efforts to save the Ming Dynasty, his paranoia, financial mismanagement, strategic blunders, and a rigid political system ultimately led to its demise. We hope this historical analysis provides insights and reflections.
