The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 712: Who is to blame for the loss of the country? Traitors betrayed their masters and brought disaster to the Central Plains! Zhao Gou: I was the smartest one back then!

In Genghis Khan's view, such a massacre was completely meaningless.

It can neither deter the enemy nor quell war.

It would only arouse more hatred and resistance, and ultimately lead to the demise of the Qing Dynasty.

True strength is never achieved through slaughter and plunder.

Only with the support and backing of the people can a regime maintain long-term stability.

The content on the sky screen continues, and a new video appears.

[Some people ask, why were only 200,000 Manchus able to enter the Central Plains and replace the Ming Dynasty? ]

[Some netizens said: The main reason why the Manchus were able to advance so rapidly was that they had reached a tacit understanding with the Han landlords and literati.]

[These landlords and scholar-officials supported the Qing Dynasty's entry into the Central Plains, and the Qing Dynasty gave them more favorable policies than those in the late Ming Dynasty.]

[At the same time, the Manchus and Han people merged, and a large number of Han people were incorporated into the Eight Banners, which increased the number of Manchus and also improved the status of landlords. ]

[The result was that the Qing dynasty was firmly established in power.]

[But after the situation stabilized, the Qing Dynasty was eager to tear up the agreement, completely destroying the landlords' reputation.]

[Not only that, they also robbed the landlords of their wealth and confiscated all their property.]

[What’s even more ridiculous is that when the Qing Dynasty entered the country, a bunch of capable officials and generals from the former Ming Dynasty all rushed to become traitors! ]

[They flattered the Qing Dynasty and sold out their own country and nation just for their own selfish ends.]

[These people not only betrayed the Ming Dynasty, but also betrayed the interests of all Han people. ]

[They are the real eternal sinners, the bastards who will never be able to turn over a new leaf! ]

[The reason why the Qing Dynasty was able to enter the country was entirely due to the help of these traitors. ]

[Without their support, how could the Qing Dynasty have had the opportunity to enter the Central Plains? ]

[It can be said that the victory of the Qing Dynasty was entirely based on selling out and betrayal.]

[There is no glory in this victory at all. ]

[On the contrary, it only shows the corruption and depravity of the Han upper class, and that they have lost the bottom line of being human.]

When Chongzhen saw this, he was filled with grief and anger and almost fainted.

He never imagined that he would lose his kingdom to these traitors!

These bastards sold out their country and nation for their own selfish interests!
In order to curry favor with the Qing Dynasty, he abandoned his human dignity and integrity!
If he had made up his mind earlier and killed the enemy sooner, perhaps the Ming Dynasty would not have fallen to this point today!
[Some netizens said that the Qing Dynasty's entry into the Central Plains was actually the result of the collective cooperation of a group of Han elites and was an accidental event.]

[If these late Ming elites had had some brains, the Qing would have at best become a separatist regime.]

[If Chongzhen could release the local financial and military power earlier and do a good job as the governor of Zhili, he would also be able to achieve something like Emperor Taizong of Tang. ]

[Some people also say that if Wu Sangui had rebelled two years earlier, or if he had not been so cowardly after the rebellion and had fought back directly, he might have been able to save half of the Han Chinese territory.]

[It's a pity that there is no "if" in history. The Qing Dynasty inexplicably took over the Central Plains. ]

[And those Han elites, those pillars of the Ming Dynasty, became accomplices and running dogs of the Qing Dynasty. ]

[They betrayed their country and nation, aided and abetted the tyrant, and ultimately led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.]

[This is the sorrow of the entire Han ethnic group and also the irony of history.]

[If they had realized it earlier and taken action earlier, perhaps history would have been rewritten. ]

【But it's too late now. 】

[The Qing dynasty has entered the country, and the Ming dynasty has perished. ]

[And those traitors and rebellious officials are still working for the Qing Dynasty and serving the Qing Dynasty. ]

When Wu Sangui saw this, he couldn't help feeling sad.

Why didn't I realize this sooner?

If I had rebelled earlier, or had been more resolute after the rebellion, would history have been rewritten?
Would the Ming Dynasty not have perished and the Han people still have been able to keep half of the country?

Thinking of this, Wu Sangui couldn't help but feel extremely regretful.

If he could do it again, he would definitely make a different choice.

However, there is no "if" in history. One wrong step leads to all the wrong steps.

The original choice cannot be changed.

And I have lost the chance to redeem myself forever.

In another dimension, Zhu Qizhen also saw this scene.

He couldn't help but sigh and feel deeply moved.

Although Emperor Chongzhen was very courageous when he hanged himself, he was too pessimistic.

If he could hold out until Nanjing and gather troops from Jiangnan, would it be possible for the Ming Dynasty to continue?
After all, Wu Sangui had not yet rebelled and the Qing troops had not yet completely entered the pass.

If Chongzhen could regroup and make a comeback, would history be rewritten?
Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but sigh.

In another dimension, after seeing this scene, Zhao Gou silently despised Chongzhen.

As an emperor, anyone can die, the key is to die a worthy death.

The end of Emperor Chongzhen was a bit too hasty.

In Zhao Gou's view, Chongzhen was a person who simply did not know how to adapt.

As an emperor, how can he talk about death so easily?
The body of a king is more precious than anything else in the world, how can he give it up so easily?
"Ah, this Chongzhen is just a stubborn person!"

"My successful cases are here. If he had taken them as a reference, he wouldn't have ended up like this."

"Tsk tsk, as the king of a country, you are still not smart enough!"

The ministers around Zhao Gou sneered secretly when they heard this.

When the Jin army marched south, Emperor Jing Kang was not as talkative as he is now.

At that time, he had already abandoned the city and fled, without even the slightest intention of resisting.

Before the Jin soldiers arrived in Bian Jing, he had already fled south.

The two emperors Huizong and Qinzong were taken captive to the north.

The two emperors suffered humiliation in the north and died in depression.

But he, Zhao Gou, lived a carefree life in the south.

Not only did he not think about launching a northern expedition to recover lost territory, but he also signed a humiliating peace agreement with the Jin Dynasty.

Pay tribute every year and be a vassal every year.

It has completely disgraced the backbone of the Song Dynasty.

What's even more ridiculous is that he also asked his officials to call him "Guan Jia".

This title was originally created by Emperor Taizu, meaning to establish a foundation.

But what qualifications does Zhao Gou have to use this title?

Not only did he fail to establish a foundation, but he also lost half of the Song Dynasty.

They brought complete disgrace to the Song Dynasty and even lost millions of civilians to the Jin people.

How could such an emperor have the qualifications to comment on Chongzhen?
No matter how incompetent Chongzhen was, at least he knew how to sacrifice his life for his country.

But Zhao Gou only knew how to protect himself.

It is no exaggeration to say that such an emperor is a sinner for all time.

His incompetence and cowardice brought endless shame to the Song Dynasty.

Such an emperor is not even qualified to be compared with Chongzhen.

At least Chongzhen knew how to be loyal to the country and plead for the people.

But Zhao Gou only knew how to preserve his own life.

His actions have long been nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

The historical books of later generations all gave extremely bad evaluations of him.

He was even called one of the most incompetent emperors of the Song Dynasty!
