The Qing army has only 200,000 military forces. How can we unify the whole country? These four points are very important.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, * * * was dying, and the emerging Manchu forces quickly occupied the Great Wall of the Qing Dynasty. However, when the Qing army led the troops into the customs, plus all the troops, the total number of troops was only 200,000, and by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the total number of troops had reached 165438+ 10,000. How did the Qing army defeat the millions of troops defeated in the Ming Dynasty, thus unifying the whole country? There are four main reasons:

The first point is to woo Wu Sangui and other generals. At that time, Wu Sangui was the most important force in the Ming Dynasty. Although he had to distract himself from dealing with the powerful late Jin Dynasty and the domestic refugee riots, after all, there were hundreds of thousands of troops, and it is reasonable to say that he could spare his time to deal with the Qing army. But it happened that Wu Sangui was a traitor who could not resist the temptation. After Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide, he quickly took refuge in the late Jin Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty * * * lost its main barrier and was quickly broken into houses by the Qing army.

Second, the Qing army bribed many ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Li Zicheng was an insurgent with a strong vision in the late Ming Dynasty, but most of the insurgents led by Li Zicheng were farmers, so the people they hated most in their lives were officials in the DPRK. When these people broke into the Ming Dynasty, their attitude towards those officials was extremely bad. Many Ming officials were killed by Li Zicheng's army.

The Qing army took a completely opposite attitude towards the ministers of the Ming Dynasty. In their eyes, these ministers are useful as long as they can help them win the country, so they took the opportunity to buy off many ministers in the Ming Dynasty. Facts have proved that these rebellious ministers of the Ming Dynasty also played a certain role in the entry of the Qing army.

Third, use clever tricks to transfer contradictions when entering the customs. At that time, although the rule of the Ming Dynasty had declined at a speed visible to the naked eye, the whole society had been ruled by the Ming Dynasty for so many years, and the people's will was to consolidate the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing army used this feature tactfully, claiming to avenge the Ming Dynasty before entering the customs, thus attracting a large number of people with one heart and one mind.

The fourth point is to waive the three salaries, which undoubtedly greatly reduces the burden on the people. After the people paid some basic taxes, there was no surplus stock at all. However, after Emperor Wanli came to power, he began to collect salaries regardless of the sufferings of the people, which had already aroused public anger. Therefore, when the Qing army proposed to exempt the people from three salaries, it was conceivable that many people were wavering. As a result, the Qing army quietly wooed a group of people at the bottom of society, which was also very helpful for them to enter the customs smoothly later.
