Why was the defeat so fast at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and why was Li Zicheng s million strong a

Li Zicheng claims to have millions of soldiers, but only 60,000 soldiers in the five armies, three meals a day, two horses per person, the rest are just a rabble that follows, only one dry and two meals a day, a piece of stone Li Zicheng's 60,000 people and the last elite Wu Sangui of the Ming Dynasty fought all day, slightly superior, but exhausted, at this time the Eight Banners came, unable to fight again, the whole army was annihilated. The rest fled and never fought a decent battle again.

The Ming Dynasty is rotten and incorrigible.

Refugee! Maybe the militia is not counted!

Li Zicheng was able to almost sweep the Ming Dynasty at the beginning, why was he defeated by the Qing army?

The biggest reason for Li Zicheng's defeat was providence, and Manren's victory was indeed heaven's help.

Not to mention that Li Zicheng himself was accidentally killed by the local armed forces, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Chengdong, who were extremely combative, were all puzzled. I don't know the method that I didn't even think of, and I died in Manchuria for every critical moment for these people. So these methods almost made it easy for the Manchus to establish the Qing Dynasty.

Li Zicheng's peasant rebel army did have several million people, and the Qing army far outnumbered them.

But since it is called"Peasant Army", we know that it is basically an army of peasants. The reason why these people followed Li Zicheng was because they did not have enough to eat during the war and joined the army in order to eat and clothe. And Li Zicheng proposed"Junda was exempted from military service", which is quite attractive to everyone.

<> but the Qing army was different, although they were outnumbered by the peasant rebels, at least their training was regular. As we all know, the predecessor of the Qing Dynasty was the Later Jin, and its army was very good at fighting as early as the Nurhachi period. At first, the other tribes united to attack Nurhachi's Nuzhen in Jianzhou, but they were recovered by the latter one by one, which shows its strength.

In the later period, the Qing army should not be underestimated, because they all want to get ahead and get a share of the fat, so they work very hard when they fight. They are brave and good at fighting, as long as they have a strong desire to win, they can defeat one against ten. On the side of the Qing Dynasty, in order to enter the customs smoothly, they dared to believe in the traitor Wu Sangui of the Ming Dynasty.

Even after successfully entering the customs, Wu Sangui was also named the king of Pingxi. It was not until Kangxi ascended the throne that the vassal states began to decrease. Coupled with the second point, Li Zicheng was suspicious and short-sighted, which not only lost the hearts of the people, but also the soldiers who followed him.

The Qing army, on the other hand, stabilized the hearts of the soldiers until they were rewarded for their loyalty. In this way, it is not surprising that Li Zicheng's failure is not surprising. Even without the Qing army, Li Zicheng's defeat was doomed.

Do a detailed explanation of the problem for a detailed interpretation of the problem, I hope it will help you, if there are any questions, you can leave me a message in the comment area, you can comment with me more, if there is something wrong, you can also interact with me more, if you like the author, you can also follow me, the like is the biggest help to me, thank you.

Because when overthrowing the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng relied on shaking the hearts of the people, and the Ming Dynasty at that time was already very weak, and in the face of the Qing Dynasty, because Li Zicheng could not manage, many people surrendered and took refuge in the Manchu Dynasty, and the first person to take refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty was Wu Sangui, who supported the army and respected himself, so Li Zicheng lost to the Qing Dynasty.

Because Li Zicheng's group is full of mountains and chaos, it has weakened its own strength.

I think Li Zicheng will eventually lose to the Qing Dynasty because he is no longer popular with the people.

Li Zicheng did not have the strong luck of being an emperor and was trapped by his own limitations.

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.

Because the Qing army defeated the army of the Ming Dynasty in momentum, the army of the late Ming Dynasty was disheartened, and it was simply not enough to support a strong attack, and there was no very good leader.

The Qing army was strong, and the Ming army was too arrogant. At that time, Li Zicheng's army was unstable, the strength of the army was not strong, and it was relatively backward; In addition, there were some light enemies in the battle, and they did not concentrate on attacking the Qing army with all their might.

Because Li Zicheng belonged to the peasant uprising, his combat effectiveness was very low, and he could not defeat the well-trained Qing army at all.

To understand this problem, we first have to study the two major weaknesses of Li Zicheng's army, first of all, although Li Zicheng has a million soldiers, but most of them are composed of hungry people, so the combat effectiveness of Li Zicheng's army is not high, as you know, the reason why these hungry people are willing to join Li Zicheng's army is because Li Zicheng once promised, opened the door, greeted the king, and did not pay food when the king came, so these hungry people were attracted by this tempting conditions and slogans, once their conditions were not met, Li Zicheng's army will quickly lose its cohesion and combat effectiveness.

Corrupted.

What the Dashun army led by Li Zicheng did when they entered Beijing City, people who are familiar with history know one or two.

In this way, it is conceivable what the combat effectiveness of the Dashun Army is. When the Qing soldiers examined the dead bodies of the Dashun army on the battlefield, they found that some strips of cloth were sewn into the clothes of some Dashun army, on which they had stored how many gold and silver treasures he had stored in Beijing, which family had fostered a female child, and which family owed him a ...... of the house deedAll of them are signed and stamped with handprints.

Thinking about these things all day long, it's really hellish to be able to have combat effectiveness.

When Li Zicheng entered the city of Beijing, he had a million soldiers. As described in the historical data: "The hungry people from near and far go to the hoe, and those who respond are like flowing water, day and night, calling for millions, and its momentum is unstoppable."

However, with such a large number of troops, they were defeated by the Qing army in the Battle of Shanhaiguan. This can't help but make people wonder, Li Zicheng has a million male soldiers, and he easily destroyed the Ming Dynasty, why can't he defeat the tens of thousands of horses of the Qing army?

First, Li Zicheng's army was not cohesive. When Li Zicheng's peasant army entered Beijing, Li Zicheng was greedy for pleasure and plunged into the harem, completely ignoring the livelihood of the people and not introducing the policy of "exempting land from taxation" in time. In other words, such guidelines and policies are just slogans and have not been implemented.

Not only has the principle and policy of "exempting all fields from taxation" not been implemented in a timely manner, but there are not many benefits in reality, thus creating a feeling of being deceived by the common people.

Second, Li Zicheng's army was not strong in combat. Li Zicheng's army joined Li Zicheng's troops in a short period of time through Li Zicheng's propaganda of "Juntian exemption." These people can only be regarded as a group of peasants, who have not received effective military training at all, nor have they been trained on the battlefield.

Third, Li Zicheng's subordinates tortured the old Ming ** and caused a very quick impact. Li Zicheng received food and salary, and connived at his subordinates to torture the old Ming**.

It can be said that this is completely negative propaganda. Therefore, when Li Zicheng was defeated, there was no family to support him at all. Fourth, Li Zicheng was disunited and deviated from morality.

Li Yan is the most strategic person in Li Zicheng's group, but under the prodding of Niu Jinxing, Li Zicheng suspected Li Yan and killed him when the rout occurred, which can only make people's hearts more distant. In short, although Li Zicheng has millions of soldiers, after encountering the Qing soldiers, he is really like birds and beasts, and he is all gone.

The reason is as follows: Li Zicheng's army is not very strong in combat. Many of his armies were peasants, while the Qing army was a well-trained army with a huge disparity in strength.

That's because most of Li Zicheng's soldiers were conscripted peasants, but the Qing army was a real soldier.

That's because Li Zicheng's own army is not very strong in combat ability, most of them are peasants, so naturally they can't be defeated.

Because although Li Zicheng has a million soldiers, most of them are recruited from the people and have not undergone very systematic training.

Because those soldiers thought that victory was in sight, they didn't work too hard and slacked off, so they couldn't beat the Qing army.

Because Li Zicheng began to be greedy for pleasure after seizing power, he did not want to forge ahead, and the peasant army under his command was also loosely managed and not strong in combat, and was finally defeated by tens of thousands of Qing troops.

The reason why Li Zicheng's army is not strong in combat strength is that these troops all joined Li Zicheng's army in a short period of time through Li Zicheng's propaganda of "Juntian exemption."

Li Zicheng was greedy for pleasure, forgot what he had promised to the people, did not consider the livelihood of the people, and did not introduce the principle and policy of "exempting land from taxation" in a timely manner, and lost the support of the people.
