Would Li Zicheng have failed if Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance had not been listened to?

I don't necessarily fail. In my heart, Li Zicheng still has the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Otherwise, after the death of Chongzhen, Chongzhen will not be buried according to the emperor's etiquette, and officials who cry for Chongzhen will not be reused.

However, it is also true that Li Zicheng's own limitations and the limitations of the counselor team also made it impossible for Li Zicheng to win the final victory.

Li Zicheng has four trusted counselors, among whom Niu Jinxing is trusted by Li Zicheng. First, Niu Jinxing's idea of killing less, helping the hungry and winning the hearts of the people helped Li Zicheng conquer the hearts of the people, consolidated the Dashun regime and won the support of the people. Second, because Niu Jinxing was one of the first people to travel with Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng's trust in Niu Jinxing was extraordinary.

Song suggested it because he knew astronomical phenomena. For Li Zicheng, astronomical phenomena are sometimes of great significance. First, it can inspire people, and second, it can make him rely on something. Not only that, Song Xiance is not a bad guy, but the overall situation is also very good.

First of all, the reason for the failure was that Li Zicheng trusted Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance too much. Not only that, Niu Jinxing also killed two other counselors. If the world is undecided and he dares to fight within himself, then nature is the end of failure. If Li Zicheng doesn't listen to Niu Jinxing, think more, and maybe he won't fail.

Generally speaking, if Li Zicheng can get rid of the limitations of peasant uprising leaders, learn to think for himself and be good at employing people instead of blindly trusting some people. Then it is not necessarily a failure. After all, the Dashun regime is still very popular. It's just a pity that Li Zicheng can't escape its own limitations.
