Since it is just a dream, the Ming Dynasty will eventually be replaced, which is also the law of historical development.

In 1619, that is, in the 47th year of Wanli, the battles at Sarhu and others ended the Ming Dynasty's military advantage in Liaodong, and the emerging nations in Manchuria rose to prominence.

Then he became a strong enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

In terms of its intensity and decisive role, the Battle of Sarhu should have a significant position in Chinese military history. However, there are not many records about it, and it is full of various contradictions.

But one thing is certain that the Ming Dynasty was indeed corrupt and lonely by then, while the Qing Dynasty represented a more advanced development direction, at least in the military.

This is not enough if Zhu Yili doesn't admit it.

After a series of fatal blows in the Battle of Sarhu, Nurhaci not only found out the offensive ability of the Ming Dynasty within a week, but also clearly judged that the Ming Dynasty was no longer able to defend Liaodong.

Three months later, Nurhaci's troops surrounded Kaiyuan, and Ma Lin (i.e. Ma Fang's son and Ma Dong's brother) died. Seven weeks later, Nurhaci successfully entered Tieling.

Finally, Yang Hao, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War who was in charge of Liaodong military affairs, was arrested and died and was killed in 1629. Li Rubai was also arrested a year and a half after withdrawing from the front line. He chose to commit suicide because he was unwilling to endure criticism and execution.

The defeat in Liaodong had a much more impact on the Ming Dynasty.

In 1619, when Beijing received news of Liaodong's defeat, the price of food suddenly soared because the residents were afraid that the capital would be surrounded by the Manchus.

The number of people fleeing in the army also increased significantly, sometimes as high as thousands, as large as regiments and battalions, which no longer exist overnight, and the impact can be imagined.

Not to mention the tax increase, this seems to be something that must be done in ancient times when fighting wars.

Later, three officials who succeeded Yang Hao as the Liaodong Strategic Bureau, one of whom was killed during the battle, while the other two were executed according to the emperor's orders.

One of the ones executed was Xiong Tingbi.

Xiong Tingbi not only lost his life, but also became one of the key figures in the party struggles in the late Ming Dynasty.

The high-level officials of the Ming Dynasty developed from debating whether Xiong Tingbi was guilty to a more acute conflict, and the bureaucrats were undoubtedly responsible for the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, most people thought from the heart that the Ming Dynasty could not actually win the battle of 1619.

Many memorials pointed out incisively that the Ming army was hastily convened, lack of guidance, untrained, insufficient supply, outdated equipment, and disarray of discipline...

Among the disclosers, Xu Guangqi, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, was the most eloquent. Xu Guangqi pointed out many problems of the Ming army, one of which was dereliction of duty.

But because he did not have an accurate grasp of the overall historical background, he only saw that officials neglect their duties, as if to avoid institutional problems, and failure was only caused by accidental factors and personal mistakes.

If you just look at it this way, it is difficult to explain why the same mistakes have been repeated again and again? Why can't the problem of insufficient equipment be changed? Why do Ming generals always expose their flanks and allow the Manchu army to attack? And why do small-scale troops be eliminated and the main legion are idle? Why do they attack rashly without finding an effective way to curb Manchu cavalry...

Too many, too many, why.

Obviously, even if you are as eloquent as Xu Guangqi, you have not given a convincing answer. Or perhaps, it is difficult to find a convincing answer.

The procedures for supplying personnel and materials in the Ming army were too rigid. In a simple sentence, it was backward. At that time, it was no longer as energetic as the Manchu army.

Therefore, if Yang Hao wants to win, he may only hope that Nurhaci will make a mistake. For example, Nurhaci will divide his troops to fight, and the outcome of the war may be different.

However, unfortunately Nurhaci is a military genius and will not make such a mistake, so Yang Hao has no hope of winning. Of course, it also has something to do with his mistake in command.

The Ming Dynasty went to war without any certainty, and Zhu Yiliu was more willing to regard it as out of political needs.

The court was forced to take action because it was afraid of causing uprisings in the mainland and riots among ethnic minorities in other border areas.

It can be said that this is also a sign that the Ming Dynasty was quite unconfident and completely unconfidenced at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, in the entire ancient China, even in modern times, it was difficult to separate personal dereliction of duty from the failure of the system. That is to say, if there is a failure, more people are more willing to look for "people", and they are unwilling to look for it because the system has caused such "people".

After all, this is inconsistent with the will of the ruling class.

The result of this is often that an individual should do his best to cover up institutional flaws with his own talents and self-sacrifice.

Therefore, if a civil and military official in a high position is responsible for the huge disasters suffered by the country, it will be difficult to be forgiven and pardoned. As for what to accuse him of taking him, it seems irrelevant - many officials in Liaodong in the late Ming Dynasty were like this.

It seems that within a week, the Liaodong Battle in 1619, it seemed that in a strange way, the fate of the next generations of Chinese people was determined in a rather strange way, but in fact it had been brewing for many years. Once it arrived, the Ming Dynasty was destined to collapse...

It can be said that this is a fundamentally inevitable result of the corrupt bureaucracy and extremely unhealthy daily operations of the Ming Dynasty.

And this is the real history.

The history that Zhu Yiliu expected was nothing but fantasy, but only exists in the history in his writing.

The real history can never be changed, and it represents the path that mankind has taken, and there is no turning back.

It’s a bit ridiculous to think about it, and I want to explain it to Zheng Miaojin and Xu Wenying, but where can I explain it clearly?

Just treat it honestly as a dream.

But undoubtedly, the feelings in the dream are sincere, whether it is the understanding of friendship, family, love, or longing, or longing, they are all from the heart.

And this part is also the most real.

No matter how human history changes, human emotions have never changed much. For example, the pursuit of truth, goodness, beauty and fairness is only the way of expression.

As for historical events and historical figures, since they are already history, there is no way to change them.

History, history, as the name suggests, is an event that occurs before the written record.

How can latecomers participate? Even if one day humans have such skills, how practical significance does latecomers really participate?

In fact, it may not be possible at all.

Let's take it as a beautiful dream.

Since it is a dream, you will wake up eventually.

When I woke up from my dream, no matter you and me, I still have to continue working hard to move bricks and struggle for a better life.
