Although later generations have mixed evaluations of the Ming Dynasty, there are many famous generals in the Ming Dynasty, such as Chang Yuchun, Xu Da, Lan Yu, Qi Jiguang and so on.
And what I want to say is Sun Chuanting, who shouldered the future of the late Ming Dynasty, "History of the Ming Dynasty" has recorded that "Chuanting died, and the Ming Dynasty died", many people are curious why there is such a statement?In fact, this is all because Sun Chuanting is the last barrier of the Ming Dynasty.
First of all, Sun Chuanting once defeated King Chuang.
According to historical records, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, peasant uprisings were frequent, and Sun Chuanting took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Shaanxi to perform his duties.
It can be seen that Sun Chuanting's combat power is indeed extraordinary, and the first generation of King ChuangGao Yingxiang was captured in only one battle;Li Zicheng, the second-generation king of Chuang, is a powerful person, and he has repeatedly failed to get benefits from fighting him.
It is conceivable that there is such a tiger general, even in the late Ming Dynasty, the whole era has been stormy, and the Ming Dynasty can still stand proudly.
From this point of view, the phrase "if the court dies, it will die" is also reasonable.
Second, Sun Chuanting has a clear judgment of the situation.
The History of the Ming Dynasty shows that in 1643, Li Zicheng led the peasant rebel army to make a comeback, and Emperor Chongzhen, who was unavailable, once again activated Sun Chuanting;Sun Chuanting knew that the troops were insufficient, so he immediately recruited troops and horses, and executed He Renjie, the general soldier of Shaanxi, who was passively avoiding the war.
Obviously, even after being imprisoned for three years, Sun Chuanting's understanding of the situation in the outside world is very clear, and after his recovery, he did not rush to crusade against Li Zicheng, but rectified the army and restored morale.
If there was no interference from Emperor Chongzhen, according to Sun Chuanting's pace, maybe in the later war, the official army would not be defeated, and it was even possible to turn defeat into victory. In this way, is it too much to describe him as "if the court dies, it will be dead"?
To sum up, the reason why the history books record Sun Chuanting's death and Ming death is because of his super ability. Whether it is the repeated victories against Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, or the accurate judgment of the current situation, he has become a figure who saved the world at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
After Sun Chuanting's death, Li Zicheng soon captured Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen was martyred, and the Ming Dynasty died. It is precisely because of this that later generations will make such evaluations.
This also tells us that as a leader, if there is a capable person under him, he may wish to play freely, and maybe the effect will be better than we imagined.
