Although Liu Zongmin made great contributions to Li Zicheng's Dashun regime, after the invasion of Beijing, Liu Zongmin leaked an extremely cruel side, and he attacked Ming officials in a fierce way, and his methods were extremely cruel. Moreover, he allowed his soldiers to burn and pillage and rape women in the city, and did all kinds of evil and greatly lost the hearts of the people.

As a result, at Shanhaiguan, Li Zicheng was defeated, and the defeated Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin began to flee all the way, and when they fled to Wuchang Province, Hubei Province, they were surrounded by qing troops, and when they broke through, Liu Zongmin was wounded and captured, and after being captured, Liu Zongmin was strangled alive by Qing soldiers with bowstrings, at the age of 38.
