First, Li Zicheng Group has no long-term strategic objectives. In the early days of the uprising, in order to be able to eat a bowl of rice and survive, all people will succeed and win the world all their lives. Since Dashun army entered the city, the whole group has become corrupt, and the big officials have made a fortune, while the small soldiers have robbed small wealth, completely losing their initiative and popular support. It is inevitable that Beijing will fail the exam.
Second, no generals were sent to guard Shanhaiguan. After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he became complacent and supercilious. Wu Sangui, who was guarding Shanhaiguan, surrendered verbally, but he was actually watching. If Li Zicheng sent Yan Li or Liu Zongmin to guard Shanhaiguan and transferred Wu Sangui to Beijing, Dourgen's Eight Banners Army might not dare to enter Shanhaiguan rashly, and history might be rewritten.
Third, rashly send troops to Shanhaiguan. After Wu Sangui rebelled in Shanhaiguan, on 13th of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (1644), Li Zicheng personally led twenty leading crusades. He lacked a pan-strategic vision and did not consider the entry factors of the Qing army. Li Zicheng's Dashun Army consists of two parts, one is the mob who rebelled with him. The other part is the Ming dynasty border guards led by Tang Tong, who are good at fighting and well-equipped.
A stone fell to the ground in Shanhaiguan, and the Tang Dynasty was defeated, and the Qing army entered Shanhaiguan. The next day, Wu Sangui was at war with Dashun Army. When both sides were trapped, Dourgen led the Eight Banners to attack the array, and Dashun Army was defeated. After Yong Bing's resistance failed, Li Zicheng returned to Beijing and returned to Shaanxi after the ceremony of assuming the throne. If Li Zicheng didn't send troops, with Beijing's refusal, generals from all over the country would come to him, and perhaps it wouldn't be so miserable.
Fourth, Li Zicheng met a strong opponent. When the Qing army was a teenager, it commanded Dourgen to lead troops to fight. He is a gifted strategist. He formulated eight strategies: first, to raise troops and collect Shanxi and Henan, then to set up a bureau in the southeast, and finally to unify China. In October, the soldiers attacked Dashun Army in two ways. Li Zicheng wanted to refuse to defend Tongguan natural barrier. , against what, met the nemesis Kong Youde, the south king. Kong Youde has artillery units trained by foreigners, and Tongguan natural barrier soon fell. Li Zicheng led Dashun troops back to Xi 'an, from Shangluo Mountain to western Henan and into Xiangyang. 500 thousand troops have no fighting spirit.
Five, Li Zicheng lost the heart of the world. When Xi 'an and Li Zicheng declared the establishment of Dashun regime, people of insight in the Ming Dynasty thought that the tide was over and Li Zicheng would be the real dragon emperor. As a result, I put down my attitude and voted in succession. The situation was good.

In order to please people's hearts, Li Zicheng once put forward the slogan of "sharing land and encouraging growing grain". However, the army did not move, food and grass came first, and money was needed for fighting. What shall we do? Only by digging a trench can a big eater go. Dashunjun walked all the way and robbed. After entering Beijing, he demanded 70 million taels of silver from more than 3,000 officials in the Ming Dynasty under the slogan of "chasing troops to help soldiers". That's how Wu Sangui was forced to turn back.
The gentry and officials all over the world were very disappointed and threw themselves into the Qing court camp. Have the ability to organize vigilantes and Dashun troops to die. 1645 In May, Li Zicheng led the surplus of Dashun Army into Jiugong Mountain, Tongshan, Hubei Province, where he was killed by local vigilantes, and the remaining 300,000 Dashun Army went to Nanming.
