And the Ming dynasty! In fact, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, all wars and disasters occurred in the north, while the situation in the south was excellent, and the country was rich and the people were safe. This is also the economic center of the whole country, so as long as the rulers take appropriate measures, this country should be able to resist crises again and again.
This mechanism is hierarchical and the punishment is vicious. This mechanism kidnapped the will of everyone who joined the gang. This is something other heroes don't have.

However, during the period of 1637- 1644, when Li Zicheng became the mainstream of the rebel army, the political system of the Qing Dynasty was mature, and Daming could hardly stop the attack of the Eight Banners Army. Moreover, the previous advantages of military science and technology no longer exist, and the combat effectiveness of the elite of the Ming army in front of the Qing army is very different.
The replacement of the Ming Dynasty by the Manchu Dynasty, even if there were a large number of traitors, was an accidental and extreme result. If Nanming can be unified, I'm afraid there is no hope.
