From 1650 to 1659, the rest Zhang entered Sichuan and fought fiercely with the Qing army in northern Sichuan. From 1660 to 1664, the Qing army suppressed the insurgents and searched for opposition forces. 1673 to 1680, Wu Sangui, king of the Qing army, rebelled and invaded Sichuan. The "San Francisco Rebellion" between the rebel army and the Qing army lasted for seven years. In the large-scale war, Sichuan people were hacked and killed repeatedly, and their bodies were everywhere. Plague comes with war. After years of continuous fighting, the number of people in Sichuan has been greatly reduced, and ten rooms are empty.
