1644 was a very chaotic era, with several light years, this year was the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the first year of Shunzhi, the first year of Li Zicheng Yongchang, the first year of Zhu Cixiu Yixing, the first year of Hongguang, and the first year of Zhang Xianzhong's Dashun. This is the year that changed the course of history.
In 1644, after several ups and downs, Li Zicheng's troops snowballed and grew, destroying all the Ming administrations north of the Yellow River, and then besieging Suncheonfu and soon contributing to the imperial city, Chongzhen hanged himself in the coal mountains in a desperate situation, and the year of change officially began.
Li Zicheng rode into the imperial city on a high-headed horse, and he had already broken into the king's rampage in Hebei, and he touched the Golden Ruan Palace and lost no time in ascending to the throne, but the nature of Liu Kou did not change because of his ascension to the throne, and the troops became an organization to fight the local tycoons and divide the fields, saying that the ugly point was to burn and loot under the guise of justice.
At this time, Li Zicheng did not appease the people, nor did he plan how to govern the country, and still blindly plundered and robbed, after all, the slogans and habits of more than ten years of welcoming the king without grain could not be changed at once, just like this, time passed minute by minute, and the army that had been full of momentum earlier also lost the enemy because of victory, and the combat effectiveness collapsed instantly.
Li Zicheng, who occupied the Shuntianfu, could be said to be dizzy, almost without any meaningful behavior, staying in the Beijing Division for less than 40 days, escaping with millions of gold and silver treasures forced out, and then being defeated. Some of these results were caused by his chaotic behavior in Kyoshi.
Among them, smashing, looting, and forcing him to donate silver is the root cause of his inability to gain a foothold, and snatching Chen Yuanyuan and abusing Wu Sangui's family is gunpowder primer, and the method of treating the Ming Dynasty clan and Chongzhen is even more stupid, these are not made by qualified politicians, and even some mountain kings are smarter than him.
After Chongzhen hanged himself, Li Zicheng wasted the power of the nine bulls and two tigers to find him, along with Chongzhen's crown prince, Li Zicheng did not kill the former prince to establish a power, but was made the King of Song under house arrest, Zhu Cixi asked Li Zicheng to bury his father, kill the surrendered ministers, and treat the clan and the people kindly.
At that time, Li Zicheng did not comment on this, first agreeing to bury Chongzhen hou, but then reneging on his promise, not only showing the corpse of the emperor and empress to the public, but also not fulfilling the promise of a thick burial, and only sending a few eunuchs to preside over it, and the people buried it hastily. As for treating the people well, it is even more reduced to a joke.
Li Zicheng did this to Chongzhen, neither made him stink, nor did he bury him, and over time, as the atrocities of the Dashun soldiers increased, the common people missed Chongzhen even more, and many ministers also missed him, and began to spontaneously go to Chongzhen's grave to cry and sacrifice, for which Li Zicheng did not prohibit and continued to loot silver.
Sure enough, a month after entering the Shuntianfu, the voice and notice of Zhu Cixi, the crown prince, appeared in the city, and Li Zicheng did not ask about this, but instead the whole army set out to attack Wu Sangui, and ten days later fled in a daze.
It can be said that Li Zicheng's behavior in Shuntianfu completely ruined his good opportunities, if he buried Chongzhen thickly, he could not only clean up people's hearts, at that time the south was still under the control of the Ming Dynasty, while the north still had many die-hard loyalists, and it was completely possible to rely on Chongzhen's name to win over, but unfortunately this guy had no political vision at all.
If you don't loot the silver can calm people's minds, the result is that he does not have, it is completely a bandit into the city, in addition to robbery is robbery, nothing else, the soldiers do more than one, defeat is only a matter of time.
