History is the memory of things that have been said and done. —Carl Baker
As the saying goes, behind a successful man there must be a virtuous woman, and in the same way, behind a successful general there must be a resourceful military master. Li Zicheng, who overthrew the Ming regime and established his own political party, was called "the king of chuang"; his intrusion was not to close his eyes and blindly break in, but someone made his eyes to break through, this person was named Song Xiance, a man as his name, good at strategizing and offering more good advice, he was a big red man in front of Li Zicheng, and of course he was also his first army division.
The First Army Division is not an empty shell, and the title of Song Xiance's First Army Division is by no means empty. Since he was a child, Song Xiance has studied hard, and his degree of effort is no less than that of the candidates who have studied hard in the cold window, so when he grew up, Song Xiance was knowledgeable, especially good at "magic numbers", he called himself a "warlock", thinking that others divination for a living, began to travel around.
The acquaintance of Song Xiance and Li Zicheng is also a fate, in a divination, Song Xiance met Baofeng Juren Niu Venus, it was he who let Song Xiance start the life of his first military division. Niu Jinxing recommended Song Xiance to Li Zicheng, who was the leader of the peasant army, and he went to Li Zicheng's army to advise Li Zicheng, and while winning many battles, he also showed his extraordinary talent, which was also the capital used by Li Zicheng, and in the later war Li Zicheng took refuge and asked for his advice.
In order to make Li Zicheng's peasant regime stronger, Song Xiance put forward a slogan of "Eighteen children as the main artifact". After this slogan was proposed, it quickly spread, this measure was supported by many peasants, and inspired people, at the same time, Song Xiance showed his housekeeping skills, predicting that the Ming Dynasty's national fortunes would fail and would soon die, this divination soon became the public's after-dinner talk, of course, this also succeeded in allowing everyone to take the initiative to isolate the Ming Rulers.
Later, Li Zicheng led the peasant army to capture Nanyang, and Song Xiance proposed to adopt a roundabout tactic, which made the Ming generals exhausted, and finally the peasant rebel army won the victory. Soon Li Zicheng declared himself emperor in Xi'an and established his own Dashun. After the founding of the People's Republic of China was stable, Song Xiance and Li Zicheng agreed on a strategy to set up officials to guard the land and eliminate violence and peace, all of which made the people of Xi'an live and work in peace and contentment and live happily. Later, Song Xiance proposed to establish an army of boys and train them to become the main force to attack the city of Beijing. This plan was approved by Li Zicheng, and soon it was implemented, and after practice, it was found that the effect was very good, and there were children holding short knives and climbing the city tower from all directions like monkeys, which can be said to be sharp, this move made the guards on the beijing city tower overwhelmed and panicked. After a while, the castle tower was lost.
After Li Zicheng captured the city of Beijing, he felt that he was invincible, and he was no longer as attentive to the training of the army as before, and later, Wu Sangui and the Qing soldiers jointly attacked the city of Beijing, and although Song Xian offered advice, the untrained peasant army resisted for a long time and was defeated under the iron horse of Dolgun, and Li Zicheng took people to flee to Xi'an when he saw that the situation was not right. The Manchu Qing forces were strong, and they had been sending troops to pursue Li Zicheng, and wanted to put an end to the troubles forever, killing Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng fled for a period of time, and later in the second year of Shunzhi, he was killed by local villagers by mistake during the war on Jiugong Mountain in Tongcheng County, Hubei Province, and I was also full of helplessness. And Song Xiance did not die, he was only captured, the Qing army interrogated him what he did, he only said four words and was released, Song Xiance said to the Qing army "Fortune teller". After being released, he did not leave but surrendered to the Qing army, and he used his divination skills to tell fortunes and fortunes for the Manchurian nobles, and thus made a living.
