During the Chongzhen period, there was a minister named Huang Daozhou who was originally an upright man, but because he opposed some practices of the Donglin Party, he was labeled as a "remnant of the eunuch party". As a result, this loyal minister was forced to leave the court and finally died in depression.

In the end, this group of people had been chattering all day long, but when it was time for them to contribute, they shrank faster than anyone else. In the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign, Li Zicheng came to the city with troops. What did the big guys of the Donglin Party do? Either they fled or they fled.

Surrendering the enemy, those Donglin Party members who usually shout "Father", why are they missing now? The Donglin Party members are just a bunch of "keyboard warriors" who only know how to show off their words. They flaunt how noble and noble they are all day long.

They are patriotic, but when the country is in danger, they can only escape or surrender. What qualifications do such people have to call themselves loyal ministers and good generals? Another fatal weakness of the Donglin Party is that they are seriously out of touch with the actual national conditions.

Tian was reading books from sages and talking eloquently in his study, but he knew nothing about the real difficulties facing the country.

Peasant uprisings occurred one after another during the Chongzhen period. The Donglin Party’s response was to send more troops to increase taxation, which was counterproductive. The increase in taxation made the farmers even more overwhelmed;

The army is increasing but there is no money and food to distribute. Isn’t this just trying to put out fires with wages? Donglin Party members always claim that “to fight against foreign forces, we must first stabilize the domestic situation.” They believe that as long as the internal situation is stable, foreign troubles will naturally be eliminated. This idea is simply ridiculously naive.

!In the late Ming Dynasty, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties had grown into a powerful military force. If they did not actively prepare for war, could "An Nei" alone solve the problem?

As a result, under the influence of the Donglin Party members, the imperial court invested less and less in border defense. By the Chongzhen period, it could not even pay military salaries. How do you think this battle will be fought? The result of this approach is that everyone in the imperial court is in danger.

No one dares to take the responsibility. Those who are capable do not dare to do anything for fear of being labeled as "treacherous ministers". Those who are incompetent are popular because they are good at flattering the Donglin Party members. During the reign of Emperor Chongzhen, the
