Interrupting Long Mai is the reason why Li Zicheng and Emperor Chongzhen failed? Of course not. Li Zicheng's flag-raising uprising and Emperor Chongzhen's maintenance of Jiangshan's ancestral business were not supported by Long Mai. Aren't most of the reasons for their failure on themselves? Although Li Zicheng led the uprising, he was ruthless. He ignores people's lives and will not appease them. Not the master of wise SHEN WOO, Wu Sangui defected to the enemy, and the people did not support him, and he was finally blamed. The failure of Emperor Chongzhen originated from the decline of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Chongzhen wanted to change, but both at home and abroad were helpless. How can he change this fate? Long Mai said, can't save the Ming dynasty.
Both sides lose, so that the Qing army can gain the benefits of fishermen. Li Zicheng and Emperor Chongzhen fought in the Central Plains, even destroying each other's Long Mai, while Nurhachi was eyeing the Central Plains at Shanhaiguan. The worst-case scenario is so much. Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect that the Qing army had led the troops into the customs before the tie was broken with Li Zicheng, which drove him to commit suicide. Li Zicheng never thought that Wu Sangui would go to foreign enemies, which led to the entry of the Qing army. Therefore, the Jiangshan that should have been obtained was given to Nurhachi. Is this caused by Long Mai? No, the most fundamental reason is that neither of them is an opponent of the Qing army, and the civil strife in the Central Plains simply ignores foreign enemies.
To sum up, Long Mai's theory can't change the fate of Li Zicheng and Emperor Chongzhen. It is ridiculous for them to think about the survival of Long Mai instead of how to defeat the enemy at the moment of fighting. Or these two people simply don't know what the main contradiction is, and in the end they can only lose both sides.
