Li Zicheng, a native of Mizhi, Shaanxi, known as Li Chuangwang, the leader of the peasant revolt at the end of the Ming Dynasty, conquered Beijing on March 18, 1644, the Ming Dynasty fell, and established the Dashun regime. On May 27, 1644, Dorgon led the Eight Banner Army and the Ming general Wu Sangui to defeat Li Zicheng at Shanhaiguan. Li Zicheng's army hurried south. On May 17, 1645, Li Zicheng was killed at Jiugong Mountain in Tongcheng, Hubei Province.
Li Chuangwang was a native of Shaanxi, and he was originally "unable to fight with eight poles" with Bobai County, which is located in the southern barbarian zone, but he left a big mystery in Bobai: one of his "princes" fled to Bobai with a large army, but he left a grudge for eternity, and the dust and rain that rolled up with the tide of history blew away.
Incense is at the peak of the Prince Temple
On a long hillside in Li Village, Yong'an Township, Bobai County, the highway crosses it. Next to the highway, there is a temple the size of an acre of land, and the word "Prince Temple" is written on the door number. It is filled with pyrotechnics, and on each side of the middle patio is a banyan tree with a thick bowl, the roots of which are entangled with the branches, and the exuberant green is like the canopy of two ghost lids. In the main hall sat a statue of a general, stacked on top of each other, gently telling the past that could not be looked back.
Prince Li was killed by Bo Bai
The author is curious: which prince is this prince? Is it the Third Prince of Nezha or the Crown Prince of the Emperor? Does this prince have a fart relationship with Bobai history? When I asked the villagers, they all pointed directly at the prince of Li Chuang, and told the story of the death of Prince Li Chuang in battle here.
Originally, when the remnants of King Li Chuang joined the Southern Ming Restoration Army, under the leadership of Li Dingguo, bobai (recorded in the Daoguang version of the "Bobai County Chronicle"), one of Li Chuang's crown princes accompanied the army, was chased and killed by Wu Sangui all the way to Yong'an Li Village, so the two armies joined the battle, and the killing was tremendous. As a result, the corpses were strewn across the field, and the young Prince Li fell from his galloping horse and fell to his death on the sandbar by the river. The army swept away, which cared about the dead Prince Li. The people of Li Village, remembering that King Chuang was after all the emperor who started in lu lanes, moved the body of the dead Prince Li on the long slope by the river and buried it hastily. Prince Rijiu showed his holy protection to the villagers, and the villagers thanked him for their kindness, and built a temple of princes about fifty meters below the tomb to facilitate sacrifice.
Led by a local elder, we finally found the tomb of the Prince in the orchard above the Temple of the Prince. The tomb is a rectangular mound of earth, several feet above the ground. It is overgrown with shrubs and barren grass. We did not dare to make a loud noise and bowed three times reverently.
Tomb of the Crown Prince
Lao Bo Li said that the people of his village used to insist on sacrificial sweeping. In recent years, everyone has forgotten to give the prince a grave, and the grave has grown with weeds. I'm afraid that over time, everyone has forgotten this prince's tomb, and even more forgotten who the prince is and what story he has left.
We can't help but sigh. How many heroic stories, fireworks that have been lost in the world!
Does King Li Chuang really have a prince?
Li Zicheng has four wives:
1. Han Jin'er: Li Zicheng's first wife, who was killed by Li Zicheng for adultery with Gai Hu.
2. Lady Xing: Li Zicheng's second wife, Yongwu and clever, responsible for managing the military materials of the peasant army, and later had an affair with Gao Jie.
3. Gao Guiying: Li Zicheng's third wife, Li Zicheng called the empress dowager empress.
4. Dou Meiyi: Former palace maid of the Ming Palace, Li Zicheng took her as a concubine after staying in the Forbidden City.
There is no record of Prince Li Chuang in the historical records, but there are rumors in the history of ye.
King Li Chuang did not die on the Nine Palaces Mountain, and there are many folk sayings. So far, people in many places have come up with physical evidence to claim to be Queen Li Chuang.d'. The common shapes of the idols in the ancient temples in the mountains north of Lechang, Guangdong Province, are Gao Guiying, Li Chuangwang, Song Xiance and Prince Li.
However, it is not known whether King Li Chuang's crown prince was a son or a righteous son.
King Li Chuang had a "righteous son" Zhang Nai, who fought with King Chuang in a bloody battle at Jiugong Mountain, and successfully escaped with a companion surnamed Liu. Mr. Gu Cheng's "History of the Southern Ming Dynasty" is recorded.
Did Prince Li really come to Bobai?
The remnants of King Li Chuang have come to Guangxi and also to Bobai.
After Li Zicheng's death, Gao Guiying also led an army to cooperate with the Southern Ming Dynasty to resist the Qing Dynasty for more than thirty years, and there was no record of Gao Guiying. The big hat head of Yong'an Town, Bobai County, is expected to be a military stone, and it is said that Lady Gao once climbed this stone.
King Li Chuang's men would travel through Guangxi in the future.
Dang Shousu, a native of Heyang, Shaanxi, whose year of birth and death is unknown, has made many military achievements, and has been promoted to "mighty general", "Zaihou", and Zhenshou Lanzhou. After the defeat of King Chuang, he and Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others led their troops from the northwest to the south, and returned to the Ming Dynasty with Lady Gao to resist the Qing.
Hao Waving Banner, formerly known as Hao Yongzhong, was originally a big banner head in the military, so it was named "Hao Waving Banner". After Li Zicheng's death, he surrendered to He Tengjiao, and together with Li Guo and others supported the Ming Dynasty and resisted the Qing, giving him the name Yongzhong. Repeatedly defeated the Qing army. In 1647, it won the Jeonju Victory. Later Hao bu plundered the city and held the Yongli Emperor hostage for Liuzhou.
Gao Yigong, Li Zicheng's wife and brother- After Li Zicheng was killed, he accompanied Li Guo and Tuoba YinXi to make peace, lianming against the Qing, and the Southern Ming dynasty granted the right army in the front of the imperial camp, hung the seal of the dragon and tiger general, sealed the marquis, and gave the name Bizheng. In 1649, Li Guo died of illness, he commanded his army, and led his troops from Qingyuan, Guangxi to Guizhou, where he was killed by Sun Kewang on the way.
Li Guo, also known as Jin, is known as "a tiger", a Shaanxi rice fat man, Li Zicheng's nephew, the general and governor of da shun. When Beijing was defeated and retreated, he was ordered to defend northern Shaanxi, fight against the Qing army for three months, and control the Qing army's southward advance. When fleeing south, he fought with gao yi power units in Jingmen. After Li Zicheng's death, Li Guo and the rest of the army gathered, and later united the Southern Ming He Tengjiao, Tuoba Yinxi, Qu Shiyan and other units to resist the Qing, called "Loyalty Camp". After the establishment of the Longwu regime, he gave him the name Chixin and was given the title of Marquis of Xingguo and Shoujing Prefecture. Fu followed Li Dingguo to Xiang and Gui for five years.
Li Dingguo's rebel army came to Bobai, and the Qing Daoguang version of the "Bobai County Chronicle" was contained.
According to legend, Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son Li Dingguo led the rebel army from Yunnan to Yulin, and briefly stationed more than 120 marching stoves in Shuangfeng Town, Bobai County, and the nearby Swan Head, and the soldiers sowed tea seeds to the Sacred Nüling, becoming today's "Saint Nüling Tea Forest". However, Li Zicheng's mother was in a village not far from the Sacred Daughter Ridge, and the village was named Da (斋) Shoutang, and the villages of Zaishoutang and Bodhisattva Pond were the places where things were done in those years. The Great Life Hall still has the "Queen Mother Temple". On the west side of the Swan Head Mountain there is the tomb of the Queen Mother of the Mouth.
According to folklore, Li Dingguo led the remnants of the army from Zhangmu to Shuangfeng, died a "queen mother" in the Shuangfeng Da (Zhai) ShouTang, defeated Yong'an and executed a "prince" at the Prince Temple, and died a "wanggu" in Zhenping Gaopo, all of which are evidenced by graves. Of course, there is also a "Prince Temple" in addition to the "Prince Tomb".
How many things in ancient and modern times will be left to future generations to remember. In the years of the golden iron horse, it seems that you can still smell the fragrance of the yellow flowers of the battlefield.
