The Ming dynasty collapsed in 1644 not primarily due to Manchu invaders, but to a homegrown rebellion led by Li Zicheng, a former postal worker turned peasant warlord. This episode traces Li Zicheng's rise from famine-stricken Shaanxi, his declaration of the Shun dynasty, and his stunning capture of Beijing as the Chongzhen Emperor hanged himself on Coal Hill. But Li's reign lasted only 42 days: his brutal rule alienated Ming loyalists like Wu Sangui, who defected to the Manchu Qing forces, leading to the Battle of Shanhai Pass. We explore the Little Ice Age's role, the collapse of Ming tax revenues, and the question of whether Li was a liberator or a destroyer. Featuring the Forbidden City, the Grand Canal, and the pivotal betrayal at Shanhaiguan. #History #FexingoHistory #China #MingDynasty #LiZicheng #ChongzhenEmperor #Shaanxi #ShunDynasty #WuSangui #ShanhaiPass #ForbiddenCity #LittleIceAge #GrandCanal #Beijing #CoalHill #PeasantRebellion #MingQingTransition #DynasticCycle Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
