Why is King Li Zicheng s strategist Niu Jinxing a tragic figure?

Niu Jinxing, a strategist of Li Zicheng, a native of Baofeng, Henan, has been very fond of reading since he was a child, and he has a very wide range of knowledge, so he is very reused, but after he is reused, some of his bad habits come out. For example, a very serious arrogance. Niu Jinxing only realized why he got to the field he is in today's field when he was in his old age, so he told his son not to be arrogant.

To discuss Niu Jinxing's merits and demerits, it is inseparable from Li Zicheng's successes and failures. In the early days of Li Zicheng's uprising, he suggested that Li Zicheng should reduce the punishment for killing, provide more relief to the hungry people who could not eat, and win the hearts of the people. It was precisely because of Niu Jinxing's suggestion that Li Zicheng made his rebel army gradually grow stronger and stronger, which was Niu Jinxing's work.

After Li Zicheng sat on the throne, Li Zicheng was carried away by victory, as Li Zicheng's adviser, as Li Zicheng's prime minister, Niu Jinxing's heart has long been no longer helping Li Zicheng how to become a virtuous monarch, but how to deal with the entertainment in the officialdom, they are like hungry children, losing their minds in the face of glory, wealth and power. Li Yan, who is sober-minded, has a clear understanding of the situation, and with a loyal heart, he has repeatedly admonished Li Zicheng and criticized the extravagant behavior of Niu Jinxing and others. Niu Jinxing was jealous of Li Yan's talent, and now he was sued by Li Yan many times, Niu Jinxing in order to stabilize his phase, he falsely accused Li Yan of rebellion, Li Zicheng at that time was conceited, and suspicious, and then killed Li Yan, after Li Yan was killed, Li Zicheng's Dashun army was disheartened, and finally directly led to Li Zicheng's defeat in Hubei, which was Niu Jinxing's fault.

After Li Zicheng's defeat, his son Niu Yan surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and he hid in his son's house until he died of old age.

Since there were very few scholars in the peasant army, Niu Jinxing was also promoted to the top of the army, so he was more valued by Li Zicheng. After Li Zicheng established the Dashun regime, Niu Jinxing was named a scholar of the Tianyu Palace, but this person is narrow-minded, loves to take revenge on others, and is not loyal enough, he actually surrendered to the Qing army with his son Niu Yan after Li Zicheng's defeat, and the Qing court did not embarrass them, but he himself has no face to see people, and has been hiding in the mansion of his son Niu Yan, enjoying the blessings of the old lady, and it can be regarded as a good death.

Niu Jinxing surrendered to the Qing army when Li Zicheng was at the end of his rope, because at this time the Qing army was employing people, and Niu Jinxing was not executed, and his son Niu Ji was also appointed as the prefect of Huangzhou by Dolgon, and was later promoted to Huguang Grain Storage, Wu Jinxing has been hiding in his son's mansion, and finally died a good death.

After Li Zicheng was defeated, he took his son to the Qing Dynasty, and the court did not embarrass them, but he felt very ashamed, and he had been hiding in his son's blessings, enjoying the blessings of the Qing Dynasty, and he was living a very good life.

Ox Venus descends first and then becomes a monk.

Because Niu Jinxing felt that Li Zicheng was gone, in order to save his life and glory, he chose to betray Li Zicheng.

Because at that time, Niu Jinxing killed Li Zicheng's advisers for his own status, afraid that he would be implicated in Li Zicheng's failure, and finally betrayed Li Zicheng.

This is the weakness of human nature, when the general person is approaching a catastrophe, he must first want to save his life, if Niu Jinxing does not betray Li Zicheng at that time, he will be killed by the Qing army.

Bull Venus doesn't know what to do. In fact, he died in the chaos, and the body was unrecognizable, so he was disposed of with other dead bodies.

Niu Jinxing was a military advisor under Li Zicheng, who later helped Li Zicheng successfully attack Beijing, and later sat in the position of prime minister of the Dashun Dynasty.

Niu Jinxing was the prime minister of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, and assisted Li Zicheng to enter the capital of the Yuan Dynasty and establish a regime. Later, Li Zicheng was defeated and killed, he escaped the pursuit of the Qing soldiers and retreated to his hometown!

Niu Jinxing was originally a showman, but was later introduced by Li Yan into Li Zicheng's curtain and became Li Zicheng's military advisor.

Niu Jinxing is portrayed in the contrast of Li Yan's personality. Niu Jinxing's convoluted welcome to King Chuang, as well as the subsequent framing of Li Yan, all showed his treacherous, sinister and **. Niu Venus is the image of a power grabber with strong personal ambitions under the feudal system.

Song Xiance, who appeared as a yin and yang family, compared with Li Yan's "straightness" and Niu Jinxing's "rape", the script highlights his "wisdom". Song Xiance and Li Yan are inseparable friends. They have a sense of justice and political foresight on the same side, but Li Yan is straightforward and Song Xiance is alert.

For example, King Chuang entered Beijing with the intention of "reigning in the world", Niu Jinxing flattered, but Song Xiance stood aside. When King Chuang asked him what he wanted, he said gloomily: "The emperors of the past dynasties, as long as they lose the hearts of the people, have not suffered a crushing defeat - the country and the family have been ruined."

He is good at observing words and feelings, and adapts to changes, and the case of the wise monk ** in the third act can especially show his character characteristics.

There are many theories in history about why Niu Jinxing took refuge in Li Zicheng and whether he finally surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, at least six or sevenOne of the things I believe in the most is:Niu Jinxing was recommended to Li Zicheng by Li Yan, Li Zicheng valued him very much, and later because Li Zicheng fled in the wilderness, Niu Jinxing surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and died at the age of 57.

Part of the blame for Li Zicheng's failure should be Niu Jinxing's. At the time of Li Zicheng's peasant uprising, Niu Jinxing did put forward some opinions, but after Li Zicheng's success, none of his actions were beneficial to Li Zicheng.

Niu Jinxing's defection to Li Zicheng is still inconsistent, some say that some people within Li Zicheng have a good relationship with Niu Jinxing, so they recommended him to Li Zicheng. There is also Niu Jinxing who had to take refuge in Li Zicheng because of some personal troubles. Niu Jinxing later joined the Qing court with his son, and then died of old age at home.

Niu Jinxing has always had a bad relationship with his in-law Wang, who is an official. After Niu Jinxing's daughter-in-law died, his in-laws colluded with the government, causing the Niu family father and son to fall into prison. In order to save him, Niu Jinxing's friend was willing to accept it on his behalf, and went to prison instead of Niu Jinxing, and asked Niu Jinxing to ask for help from "Lanyang Liang Eun".

But Niu Jinxing did not move back to the rescue, he had nowhere to go, so he had to defect to Li Zicheng's peasant rebel army.

Niu Jinxing could only succeed if he defected to Li Zicheng, and he was later killed along with Li Zicheng.

Niu Jinxing is very talented, but also very ambitious, for the sake of greater glory and wealth, he gave up his original petty bourgeois life and took refuge in Li Zicheng, and later Li Zicheng failed and he mysteriously disappeared.

Taurus was originally a particularly ambitious and capable person, and he always felt that he could assist a king as an emperor, so after he saw Li Zicheng, he felt that Li Zicheng could succeed, so he directly assisted Li Zicheng with all his heart. In the end, Niu Jinxing was also caught and beheaded.
