At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Chonghuan led an army against Huang taiji's Haujin army, and started a long years of confrontation with him, and kept getting victories. However, due to the obstruction of Wei Zhongxian and others, Yuan Chonghuan was hindered in every way, and finally had to resign and return to his hometown.

Tianqi seven years (1627), the dim-witted Ming Xi Zong died, Ming Si Zong Zhu Yuzhan to the throne, and changed the name of the year Chongzhen. After Ming Si Zong investigated Wei Zhongxian, the ministers in the court have suggested to recall Yuan Chonghuan. Ming Si Zong accepted this suggestion and promoted Yuan Chonghuan to the position of Secretary of the Ministry of War, responsible for the entire military of Hebei and Liaodong. He asked Yuan Chonghuan, "What are your plans for the next step?" Yuan Chonghuan replied, "As long as His Majesty gives me the power to command the army, and the court can cooperate with me, in less than five years' time, I will be able to retake Liaodong."

Hearing this impassioned speech, Ming Si Zong was very excited and gave Yuan Chonghuan an upper sword, allowing him to act with full authority.

After returning to Ningyuan, Yuan Chonghuan reorganized the army, strict military discipline, so that the morale of the people. Huang taiji saw that Yuan Chonghuan was getting stronger and stronger, so he decided to change the route, bypassing Jinzhou and Ningyuan, and marching towards Hebei from Longjing Pass and Da'ankou, with the intention of attacking Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Huang taiji's marching formation is really beyond Yuan Chonghuan's expectations, he rushed to send troops, hoping to stop halfway, but the Jin army took advantage of the weakness, straight to the outskirts of Beijing. Getting information Yuan Chonghuan anxious, night march, rushed to the outskirts of Beijing and the Jin army launched a fight to the death.

For the Jin army's sudden attack, the city of Beijing in a panic. Everyone was at a loss as to what to do. Only when he heard that Yuan Chonghuan had arrived did Ming Sizong put his heart at ease. However, Wei Zhongxian's remaining party hated Yuan Chonghuan to the bone, and kept spreading rumors, claiming that the only reason why the Jin soldiers were able to make a detour into the capital this time was because Yuan Chonghuan made way for them, and that there might be a conspiracy in it.

Ming Si Zong is very suspicious, after hearing the rumors began to suspect. And the eunuch who fled back from the gold camp even snitched to him, saying, "Yuan Chonghuan and Huang taiji have entered into a pact to betray Beijing!"

It turned out that this eunuch was imprisoned, once heard the conversation of two Jin soldiers. One said, "Today we retreat from the battlefield, completely the instructions of the emperor (referring to Huang taiji)." The other asked, "What's going on here?" And the former one said in a mysterious manner, "Just now I saw someone coming from the camp of the Ming army, saying that he was sent by General Yuan, and that he and the Emperor had already made an agreement, and that the great thing was about to be accomplished!" This eunuch was shocked to hear these words, and after taking the opportunity to slip out he ran back to the palace to report. Ming Si Zong heard his words, but also believe in the truth, did not even think that this is Huang taiji's pre-arrangement.

The furious Ming Si Zong ordered Yuan Chonghuan to come to the palace immediately, and asked him why he wanted to lead the Jin soldiers to Beijing. Yuan Chonghuan had no time to answer, but was already tied up and sent to the prison.

Some ministers knew that Yuan Chonghuan was a straightforward person and could not have done such a thing, and repeatedly admonished him. But Ming Sizong refused all of them and ordered Yuan Chonghuan to be killed by the next year.

After he retreated back to Shengjing, the Later Jin Dynasty became stronger and stronger, and in 1635, Huang taiji changed the name from Jurchen to Manchurian, and in the next year, he became the emperor of Shengjing, and renamed the country Qing. Huang taiji became the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, while Ming Si Zong, who could not recognize loyalty and treachery, became the object of ridicule.

Since ancient times, there has been a delicate relationship between the generals and the emperors, with each relying on the other and defending each other. Appointed the general, but do not trust him, is the successive generations of many emperors have made the mistake. The suspicion is very heavy Chongzhen emperor also has this shortcoming, so was Huang taiji use, skillful countermeasures, get rid of their own strong enemy.

The destruction of the Ming dynasty is not an overnight thing, but eventually broke the military barrier but it is these strategies play a role. Rather than the strength of the Later Jin army being the cause of the Ming dynasty's demise, it was the inability of its rulers and ministers to work together that was one of the main reasons for its demise.
