Why did Li Zicheng flee as soon as he saw the Qing army?

Because you can't beat it. Although Li Zicheng's soldiers were many, they were all composed of displaced people, and their combat effectiveness was not good, so they couldn't defeat the Qing army.

Because he would occupy the city and would not manage it for a long time, he did not formulate a long-term strategic plan, and only saw the immediate pros and cons, of course, the Qing army was more powerful than him, and then won the hearts of the people, so he could not defeat the Qing army, so he fled.

Because he has gone and can't defeat the Qing army. He was originally a moral weaker, and Wu Sangui had already consumed most of his power.

Because he didn't, he grasped the base area in Shaanxi.

Because he had no way to lead, he thought that the enemy army would not have such power to deter his army, so he was a little slack.

It should be that he underestimated the enemy, when he had already overthrown the Ming Dynasty, and then he was very arrogant. At that time, he did not have a clear understanding of the situation at all.

Li Zicheng was originally just a postman for a small post station, but due to the many drawbacks of the post station system at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen reformed the post station after ascending the throne and streamlined the post station. Li Zicheng was also laid off due to the loss of official documents.

Li Zicheng accompanied Bi.

After entering the capital, the military discipline was sloppy, ** corrupt, and was completely defeated by the "sugar-coated cannonball". After in Shanhaiguan.

In a fierce battle with Wu Sangui's army, the Qing army suddenly attacked, and Li Zicheng's army was caught off guard and returned defeated.

Immediately Beijing was lost, and the Qing army attacked all the way under the leadership of Wu Sangui and other Ming generals, and soon Li Zicheng was completely defeated.

The main reason for this situation is that Li Zicheng shouted that in the early stage, he really wanted Ye Na to turn Ming Songzi against him, and then let the peasants be the masters of the house, but in the later process, he indulged in the drunken gold fans of these beautiful women's power, and the team was disheartened, so he was defeated by the Qing army.

Mainly because he made some achievements in a short period of time, and then he was very complacent, and his dominance was not very stable, so he was defeated.

The Qing army bought off Li Zicheng's men, knew his troop deployment, and then ambushed him on the road of Li Zicheng's march, so they defeated Li Zicheng.

Although Li Zicheng claimed to have a million troops, most of the troops he was sitting on were composed of peasants, and the discipline and organization were poor, and the Qing army with good equipment and high quality was easily defeated.

First of all, according to historical records, Li Zicheng did not have an army of one million; Secondly, Li Zicheng's plan was soon known to Dolgon, so it was difficult to chase and fight all the way, and it was difficult to be undefeated.

They directly spent money to buy out Li Zicheng's hearts, which led to the rout of their army.

The Shanhaiguan control was misguided. Beijing's main forces were too small, and his troops were scattered in the northwest and Huguang, offending a large number of gentry and wealthy people in Beijing, and causing the foundation of the country to be unstable.

First of all, the beauty misled people, secondly, he listened to the nonsense of the Qing army, and finally Li Zicheng was too confident in his ability.

First of all, Guanzhong is a base area, and there is no strategic vision. Secondly, the failure to break through the Shanhai Pass led to a very large breakout of the troops. Finally, after entering the city of Beijing, the former and old generals were "recovered and stolen and paid," which led to the loss of popular support.

After Li Zicheng entered the city of Beijing, he first thought that the Ming Dynasty had been destroyed and there was no need to worry about the future, and then he no longer continued to win the hearts of the people in the middle and lower classes, and finally did not pay attention to Wu Sangui outside the pass, which led to the Ming army after the surrender and led the Qing army into the pass.
