During the war in the late Ming Dynasty, the people suffered the most. Because the perennial campaign needs some food and grass, which are paid by the people. Taxes have been levied in past dynasties, and years of war have made people hide in Tibet, and many people are unable to turn around food. Li Zicheng, who was born at the grassroots level, knew what people were thinking, so he seized the lifeline of the people from the beginning of the uprising, so the slogan won the support of many people. The so-called popular support for the world laid a good mass foundation for his army to capture Beijing and overthrow the Ming Dynasty.
On the other hand, the exorbitant taxes and levies in the Ming Dynasty made the people miserable, because the pressure of the imperial court made the people starve everywhere. For this corrupt Ming dynasty, the people have lost confidence in it. Li Zicheng is a clever man. He didn't ask the people for food directly, because he knew that food was his own life for the people. So in order to maintain the needs of the army, he turned to the people for money instead of tax grain. Compared with the Ming dynasty, this tax money is also very small, so the slogan "Come to the king and don't collect food" officially began.
Because of the frequent wars in the late Ming Dynasty, it was really difficult for the people to pay a lot of taxes. But it does give people a break, and people will be amazed. That's why Li Zicheng the conqueror was able to overthrow the corrupt Ming Dynasty quickly. The demise of the Ming dynasty was also a cocoon, and there was no complete bureaucratic supervision system, so corrupt officials came into being and the people were miserable.
