In 1644 AD, the thousand-year-old city of Beijing was replaced by three emperors on the dragon chair of the Forbidden City within a year, and it was also a different dynasty. You sang I debuted, the three dynasties of Daming, Dashun, and Manchu Qing, in and out of Beijing like a marquee in a year, making people dizzy. For a unified dynasty, 260 years old is not a high lifespan, it should be regarded as a year, and Daming began to decline from the age of 260, and then never prospered, and the decline of the Ming Dynasty was not avoided in the end. In the last decade of the next ten years, Daming was just a lingering breath.

In the second year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng went to Gansu to join the army, and was soon promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief. Originally thought that after this can be rehabilitated, later the Jin soldiers marched south, the troops were urgently transferred to Beijing to defend the capital, but on the way to Beijing, due to the lack of military pay, Li Zicheng killed the army, and thus began the road to overthrow the Ming Dynasty. After that, Gao Yingxiang, Wang Daliang and others raised troops one after another.
Li Zicheng also joined the ranks of the rebels, fighting not only bravely but also with great brains. He was very popular with Gao Yingxiang, and after Gao Yingxiang's death, Li Zicheng succeeded him as the leader of the rebel team. Because Li Zicheng grew up poor and developed a rebellious surname, the team he led was disciplined and strong in combat effectiveness, and he laid down the reputation of the king of Chuang. Li Zicheng, who became the king of the invasion, was invincible and invincible. However, when he reached Chengdu, Li Zicheng's attack on Zitong failed, and he was attacked in a combined manner, and the army was almost completely destroyed. After escaping to the ShangLuo Mountains, he trained his abilities while waiting for the opportunity. There was no invincible road in the sky, and the Later Jin outside the Ming Dynasty's Guanxi constantly invaded Daming and relaxed the encirclement and suppression of the rebels at home. This gave Li Zicheng a chance, and he restarted his armed forces.

Thirteen years after Chongzhen, Li Zicheng took advantage of the absence of the main force of the Ming army and entered Henan. Coinciding with the great disaster in Henan, there were countless hungry people. At this time, Li Zicheng opened a warehouse to release grain and provide relief to the people, which made him deeply loved by the people. His good name was sung everywhere in the Henan region. As a result, the rebellion team was strengthened, and Niu Jinxing, Li Yan and others all threw themselves into his command. In the second year of Henan, the situation in the Ming Dynasty became even more critical, and at the same time the peasant revolt led by Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan was rampant, openly rebelling and defeating the Ming army several times. Li Zicheng also followed and took all of Henan.

Li Zicheng was born in the jianghu, and many of his generals were also from the jianghu. Although very militaristic, there is little political opinion, and most of them are from poor and ancient nature. After they conquered jiangshan, they began to think of not making progress, degenerating and enjoying, oppressing the people, and making the people unhappy, and Wu Sangui also defected to the Qing army. Li Zicheng's men initially disobeyed his commands, and the troops he commanded were defeated by Wu Sangui and Dorgon's forces.
