Sheridan commenced a dramatic war on the countryside on September 26,1864 that would last for thirteen days. The destruction would begin in Staunton and head down the Valley, northward to Strasburg, covering a length of 70 miles and a width of 30 miles. This destruction infamously became known for generations simply as "The Burning." Sheridan ordered his men to move fast, destroy everything that could be useful to the enemy, then move on quickly to new targets. He also instructed them to spare houses, empty barns, property of widows, single women, orphans and to refrain from looting. Col. James H. Kidd of Custer's brigade described the scenes as they set fire to a mill in Port Republic:
"What I saw there is burned into my memory. The anguish pictured in their faces would have melted any heart not seared by the horrors and 'necessities' of war. It was too much for me and at the first moment that duty would permit I hurried from the scene."
您大错！！！No, Abraham Lincoln did not order the burning
“No, Abraham Lincoln did not order the burning of a town during the Civil War, but Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridan did order the destruction of the Shenandoah Valley”
南明建立之初，和南宋非常像。而军事局面其实还略好。
南宋有四大将军，岳飞，韩世忠等人，掌握军队抵抗金兵。
而南明有六大将领，左良玉，黄得功，刘泽清，高杰、刘良佐，招安的海盗头子郑芝龙。论战斗力，和南宋的四大将军只多不少。
特别是左良玉的军队，和张献忠多次作战，都是优势。
郑芝龙的海军，更是无敌的存在。远比当年韩世忠的水军要强。
清兵的战斗力，和金兵相当，但是清兵在西部还有李自成牵制。
如果南明像北宋末年那样团结，起码半壁江山是没有问题的。
但是，问题就是，南宋岳飞的下场，给南明的将军们上了课。
军队抓在自己手里面才安全。绝不要当岳飞，精忠报国，结果自己和儿子都赔上去。
所以，和岳飞当年驻地一样，十万大军驻扎在武汉的大将左良玉，就担心自己的未来。
清兵南下，南明朝廷危在旦夕。
而南明朝廷，还在党争当中。
一派是魏忠贤的阉党残余，在崇祯死后，扶植了新皇帝。代表人物是马士英，阮大鋮。
而另外一派，则是钱谦益，史可法等人的东林党。
东林党人，把马士英，阮大鋮这些阉党，称为当代秦侩。
结果，号称忠义，要当岳飞的左良玉，当然担心自己的下场，要清君侧先干掉当代秦侩，自己当岳飞才安全。
马士英，阮大鋮急了，清兵来了还能谈判，左良玉来了，必定要宰了他们。
于是调黄得功去防左良玉，直接导致史可法孤军无援，被满清干掉。
左良玉半路病死之后，他儿子不想当岳云陪葬，于是带兵继续前进，结果被黄得功打败，走投无路就投降了满清。
这可是十万大军。
想象一下如果南宋的时候，岳飞讨伐秦侩，半路死了，岳云带岳家军投降了金国，会是什么连锁反应？
别人多十万人，自己方少十万人。
黄得功，刘泽清，高杰、刘良佐四个江北的将领就感觉压力山大。
然后刘泽清，刘良佐投降满清保住自己的荣华富贵，黄得功被刘良佐袭杀，高杰也被谋杀。
而本来应该像韩世忠一样，带水军遮断长江，避免清兵南下的郑芝龙，正在福建不动。
朝廷不信任他，因为他和唐王走得近，不敢让他来，怕他政变。
而他也不想去，只想满清干掉皇帝，自己再推举福建的唐王即位，这样自己就是曹操。挟天子以令诸侯。多好！
每个将领都在为自己考虑。不想当岳飞白白送命。
总结一句话，就是历史教训让朝廷官员和地方将领们都变得越来越精明，而越来越精明的将领们越来越没法合作和付出，都在为自己考虑后路。
所以虽然将领们独立作战的能力不弱，但汉人政权的整体战斗力严重下降。
岳飞的下场，导致了南明的结局。南宋走自己的路，让南明无路可走。
