Come and see! Li Zicheng, the king of the Chuang Dynasty, had a short life

He is the most famous leader of the peasant rebel army in Chinese history, and Chairman Mao has said more than once during his lifetime: "The main thing that has pushed our country forward in the past two thousand years since the Qin Dynasty is the peasant war. The peasant war led by General Li Zicheng of the Dashun Emperor was the most famous one in dozens of such wars in the past two thousand years. This movement started in northern Shaanxi and is really the glory of the Shaanxi people. ”

Li Zicheng, a native of mizhi county in present-day Shaanxi Province, was poor in his early years and had a rather rough experience, he herded sheep for landlords when he was young, worked as a monk and blacksmith in his youth, worked as a pawn but was unemployed due to government layoffs. Later, because of the inability to repay the debt, he was tortured by the rich gentleman Ai Tongzhi, and was put on a shackle and knelt in the street to show the public, and later he was rescued by the pawns, hugged out of the city, no longer patient, and called on the starving people in the western part of the county to rebel, calling for a hundred responses.

The so-called heroes created by the times shows how dim and unpopular the official rule at the end of the Ming Dynasty was.

Chongzhen Emperor

Li Zicheng fought bravely, made many achievements in battle, known as the Eight Team Generals, at first was Gao Yingxiang's right-hand man, in 1636 Gao Yingxiang was captured and killed in the present-day Zhouzhi of Shaanxi, and the rest of the troops pushed themselves to become the King of Chuang, and since then there has been a famous "King Li Chuang" in history.

In the autumn of 1640, Bingbu Shangshu was equivalent to yang Sichang, the current minister of national defense, with troops from five provinces entering Sichuan to encircle and suppress Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, and the Central Plains were empty.

Li Zicheng personally led more than 50 horses to break through from the Brazilian Fish Belly Mountain, and in November, the stars flew to Henan, recruited hungry people into the army, robbed the rich and helped the poor, and the military might was greatly enhanced. Soon after, Song Xiance, Li Xin, and others joined the rebel army and assisted Li Zicheng in proposing slogans such as "Juntian is exempt from endowment".

Since then, songs and ballads have been circulated in the Central Plains: "Kill cattle and sheep, prepare wine and pulp, open the city gate to welcome the king, and the king will not pay for the grain." ”。 After that, Li Zi became strict military discipline, and also formulated military rules such as "eliminate the mob and the people", "Autumn is not committed", "do not commit adultery, do not kill innocents, do not plunder capital" and other military regulations, and it is this series of policies that have been formulated, making Li Zicheng's army the main force of all the peasant armies at that time, invincible all the way, and finally overthrowing the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, as a leading figure, in the process of the uprising, before the matter was not successful, Li Zicheng has always shared weal and woe with the soldiers, and has always maintained the noble character of "not greedy for money and not lustful", which is a good example for the soldiers.

As early as the establishment of the Dashun Dynasty, the demoted official Zhang Guoshen, with despicable intentions, wanted to dedicate Deng Taimiaojin, who had a husband and was then a talented daughter of Guanzhong, to Li Zicheng, but Li Zicheng categorically refused and was executed for violating military regulations, and Deng shi was able to return home to reunite with his family.

Dashun Dynasty

In 1644, Li Zicheng's army attacked Beijing and overthrew the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and some generals thought that they were finished, so they indulged in wine, and military discipline became increasingly relaxed.

The old General Wu Sangui of daming guarded Shanhaiguan and held a grudge against his favorite concubine Chen Yuanyuan who had been snatched away by Li Zicheng.

Soon after, Li Zicheng led an army to march east to Shanhaiguan, and Wu Sangui, fearing Li Zicheng, privately led the Qing army into the customs to block Li Zicheng. Poor Li Zicheng fought hard with the Qing army for several days and finally lost, withdrew from the city of Beijing, and soon after entered tongshan county in present-day Tongshan County, Hubei Province, he was suddenly attacked by local armed forces and died at the age of 39.

The Qing army easily won the world and established the last feudal dynasty in China, the Great Qing!
