"Li Zicheng, the King of Xichuang"-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Juntian was spared the army, and the tyranny was not destroyed. ”
Dynastic succession seems to have long been a law in ancient times, and under specific time and historical trends, the corruption of dynasties has made the people unhappy, and under such a difficult life, uprisings have gradually broken out everywhere.
For example, when the Ming Dynasty was corrupt and incompetent, a rebel army led by Li Zicheng quietly appeared and led this team to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, and Li Zicheng also won the support of the people for not having to pay taxes and equally dividing the land during the uprising.
Driven by such a situation, Li Zicheng established the Dashun Dynasty, but Li Zicheng became one of the shortest reigning kings in history! Why, exactly?
01
Lee Zi-cheng
Talking about Zhu Yuanzhang, it is almost well known that he had a personal feeling for the corruption of the Yuan Dynasty and the oppression of the people's livelihood, so he overthrew the Yuan Dynasty in the uprising.
Of course, the protagonist today is not Zhu Yuanzhang, but Li Zicheng, who has a similar experience to Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Zicheng was in the late Ming Dynasty, experienced the decline of the Ming Dynasty, under the cumbersome and harsh taxes, the lives of the people were oppressed as never before, making the uprisings break out continuously.
Li Zicheng also resolutely joined the rebel army, and put forward the slogan of "Juntian exemption", in order to win the support of the people, under such a slogan, more and more people who hated the Ming Dynasty joined in, in the vigorous uprising, Li Zicheng led the rebel army to break through Daming, Li Zicheng also achieved the throne and created the Dashun Dynasty.
Li Zicheng, who had just ascended to the throne, was very beautiful, whether it was prestige or power, it was at its peak, but it was such a good card, and it was a rare mess that Li Zicheng played with forty-two days.
Many people wonder what Li Zicheng did, he was overthrown in only forty-two days after establishing his empire, and after reading this history of Dashun, it can be found that during these forty days of the throne, there were roughly three incidents that directly sent him to the end of the road!
02
First, second
One of the events of this is that the Li Zicheng rebel army at that time always implemented the concept of people-oriented, and for the powerful and powerful, they were regarded as hostile objects, so during the uprising period, they always insisted on not taking the slightest bit of the people, but chose to rob the rich family with heads and faces, if it was in the stage of the uprising, many people may still be able to understand the embarrassment of the uprising at that time, but the problem is that Li Zicheng's actions after the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, when Li Zicheng's army attacked the capital, the soldiers plundered the city like wild beasts, and among the plundering crowds were mostly some rich people, strong gentry, and some officials.
Such a crowd is the target of Li Zicheng, so he did not block such robbery, but supported such a fast money, and for those who resisted, a certain punishment would be imposed, so Li Zicheng was bound to not get the support of powerful people.
The second was to offend Wu Sangui, a major general who was guarding the town outside the pass, and as a defender of a strategic place, he naturally had absolute power, but just after Wu Sangui helped Li Zicheng to seize the throne, Li Zicheng asked him for so-called "stolen goods" to serve as military pay.
This was undoubtedly to regard it as a strong gentry, and later, Li Zicheng also forcibly occupied Wu Sangui's home, and Wu Sangui, who was ashamed and angry, resolutely joined Li Zicheng's hostile faction of the Qing court.

Third
The final event was that Li Zicheng's pattern was not too big, he always believed that the peasant rebel army led by himself defeated the powerful Ming Dynasty army, and he did not know that the army that could defeat the Ming Dynasty was not a peasant army, but that the Ming Dynasty at that time was too corrupt, and the military strength was already insufficient, and the Ming Dynasty at that time did not take Li Zicheng's rebel army into account, at this time the Ming Dynasty was always vying for who was the orthodox Ming Dynasty lord, and it did not care about Li Zicheng's rebellion.
Under such an opportunity, Li Zicheng achieved victory, but After the victory, Li Zicheng did not realize this, did not change the nature of the army, nor did he increase the strength of the army after the victory, but after the establishment of the dynasty, he neglected to manage, and was finally defeated by the Qing court.
It should be known that among the successive kings, once the establishment of the country is completed, the king will first stabilize the domestic situation and then reward him, which shows that Li Zicheng did not have the foresight of the king in the pattern, although he had a similar experience with Zhu Yuanzhang, but he did not have the foresight of Zhu Yuanzhang, and did not let go of the prejudice in his heart!
epilogue:
As a king, it is certain that the country will not be ruled by force, but there must be a rational pattern, and the prejudices in the heart must be put aside, and only by winning the hearts and minds of the people can we build a good country, so as to stabilize our own river, and the people's hearts do not refer to the hearts of the people, but the hearts of all walks of life!
