In the third year of Chongzhen (163), Li Dingguo, who was ten years old, joined Zhang Xian's loyal rebel army and was loved by Zhang. Li Ding fought with the army in Qin, Jin, Yu and Chu, and was known for his bravery when facing the enemy's battle.

With the establishment of Daxi < P > regime, General Anxi, together with Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi, was adopted as his adopted son, which was called < P > Four Generals. A few years later, in the first year of Dashun, after the death of Xian Zhong, he led the rest of the Daxi Army to Yunnan to unite with Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In the sixth year of yongli, Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang welcomed yongli emperor into Guizhou and settled in Anlong.

Guilin was broken again, and Kong Youde, the king of South China, set himself on fire < P > and died; Fighting Hengzhou, Ni Kan, the revered prince, was killed, and Chu, Guangdong and several provinces were recovered. In ten years, Sun Kewang sought to claim the title of emperor

and became independent, and decided to welcome Emperor Yongli into Yunnan and make him king of Jin. The next year, it is expected to lead troops to attack Dingguo, and all the troops who are not angry will < P > defect, and it is expected to be defeated, and the situation will be poor and clear, and the Qing army will be told with Yunnan and Guizhou.

led the whole army to set up three ambushes in Mopanshan, seeking to wipe out Wu Jun in one fell swoop. Wu Sangui marched for hundreds of miles, arrogant and unprepared. Ten thousand people were trapped in a tight encirclement, and when he saw that something great would happen, Nai rebellious minister leaked the secret of Sangui, which led to the defeat

. After that, Dingguo contacted Zhuyong Han Tusi and moved to the Yunnan-Myanmar border. In the first year of Kangxi, due to the hopeless recovery, he became ill with anxiety and anger, and < P > died in Mengla army.

Li Dingguo was one of the most outstanding anti-Qing generals in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. As the leader of the peasant rebel army, he resolutely put aside the past and cooperated with the court of Nanming Dynasty at the time of national crisis, and he remained steadfast. In the face of Sun Kewang's

provocations in the same camp, he took care of the overall situation and avoided them in many ways; He once "had two famous kings, and the world shook", which made the Qing court < P > ready to give up the seven southwestern provinces. If it were not for the traitor's leak, the whole army of Wu Sangui would have been destroyed. Li Dingguo benefited from the people of Sichuan, and after his death, more "Li Jinwang Temple" was built in the middle of Sichuan. In the land of Yunnan and Guizhou, the fame and legend of "Li Jinwang" have been passed down.

Liu Wenxiu (? -1658), a native of Yan 'an, Shaanxi Province, was Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son and confidant general. In his early years, he followed Zhang Xian's loyalty. After the establishment of the Great Western Country, he was named General Fu Nan. After Xian Zhong's death, together with Sun Kewang, he led tens of thousands of troops from the remainder of the Great Western Army to March into Yunnan-Guizhou, uniting Ming and resisting Qing Dynasty.

in the sixth year of yongli, he was entrusted with the task of caring for the king of the south, led the daxi army to ride 6, troops out of the south of Sichuan, surrounded by Xuzhou and Chongqing, and killed

Bai Hanzhen, Bai Guangsheng and others, forcing Wu Sangui to defeat Baoning. Liu Wenxiu led general Wang Fuchen, Zhang Xianbi and other

5, troops into Baoning, and Wu Sangui was in a difficult situation. However, Liu Wenxiu refused to adopt Wang Fuchen's

correct opinion because of his repeated victories and underestimation, and rashly attacked the city, which was discovered by Wu Sangui. Soon, Wu Sangui and Li Guohan

, the general of the Qing Dynasty's expedition to the west, joined forces to fight, and Zhang Xianbi's army was defeated in one fell swoop. The defeated troops rushed out of the whole army, and Wang Fuchen was surrounded. He committed suicide

and died. Liu Wenxiu was defeated and returned to Guizhou.

in the tenth year of yongli (1656), he moved south to kunming with yongli emperor and was named king of shu. The following year, Sun Kewang betrayed Nan

Ming, divided Sichuan, and sent Bai Wenxuan and others to attack Yunnan. Liu Wenxiu was appointed as the right general, and

helped Li Dingguo defeat Sun Kewang in Jiaoshui. After that, Liu Wenxiu sent Gao Chengen with 5, troops from Yunnan to Yazhou, Sichuan Province, and recruited Qi Sansheng, a confidant general, as the prime minister of Quanchuan military affairs. Together with Di Sanpin, the general commander of Pinglu camp, Yang Wei, the general commander of Huaiyuan camp, and Zheng Shoubao, the general commander of Chongqing wasteland, he led the troops to Jiading House. Liu Wenxiu himself led a great army to reach Hongya County (belonging to Jiading Prefecture) by way of Jianchang (now Xichang City, Sichuan Province), Lizhou (now north of Hanyuan County, Sichuan Province) and Yazhou, established Shuaifu in Qianqiuping County, and wrote "Inscription of Natural City", saying that Sichuan would be restored on this basis.

Liu Wenxiu set up civil and military officials in Qianqiuping, built a palace, and tried his best to build it into a large battalion to run the southwest, in an attempt to attack Baoning (Langzhong) in the north, unite with thirteen families in the east, and compete with the Qing army for Hubei. However, due to

Sun Kewang's ulterior motives and deliberate invasion of Yunnan, the Yongli court recalled Liu Wenxiu and his main force, and Liu Wenxiu was only stationed in Qianqiuping for five months before and after, and the strategy of running Sichuan failed to be realized.

In the 12th year of yongli (1658), Liu Wenxiu died of illness in Kunming. His legacy implored emperor yongli to go to Bashu in the west and insist on

fighting against Qing Dynasty.

Ai Nengqi (? -In 1647), Yi Yunzhi and Ai Qineng were the adopted sons of Zhang Xianzhong in the late Ming Dynasty. Known for his bravery,

is also known as the "Four Generals" with Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo. In the first year of Dashun (1644), General Bei was appointed. After offering

loyalty and calling himself emperor, he was appointed King of the North. In the third year of Shunzhi (1646), he died in Xichong, and was able to lead troops into Yunnan strangely.

He was ready to unite with the Ming Dynasty to resist the Qing Dynasty. On February 12th, he conquered Dingfan, and Gala and others were executed. In the first year of yongli (1647), he entered

Dongchuan (now Huize, Yunnan). Entering 3 miles away from Dongchuan House, he was ambushed by the local toast Lu Wan Zhong < P >. He was poisoned by an arrow and bled incessantly. He returned to Kunming and died.

Sun Kewang (? —166), nicknamed Wanger, was born in Mizhi, Shaanxi. Zhang Xianzhong's seme was named "King of Dongping" and "A Wall" with the name of Chu

. When he was a child, he followed Zhang Uprising. Because of his bravery, he was named General Pingdong. In the third year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (

1646), the Qing army entered Sichuan in a big way, Zhang Xianzhong died in mount mount, western Sichuan, and the rest of them went south in an endless stream, preparing to March into Yunnan and Guizhou as a base area against Qing Dynasty, and conquered Zunyi and Guiyang all the way to Yunnan. The following year, Sun Kewang became king with Li Dingguo and others, and he became the king of the country. In the sixth year of Shunzhi, Sun < P > is expected to make a permanent regime in the Ming Dynasty of Shu Nan, expressing his willingness to "jointly restore and suppress" and * * * to fight against the Qing Dynasty and be awarded the title of King of Qin. With the support of the court of Nanming

, Sun Kewang incorporated the armed forces of all ethnic groups. After recuperation, he basically controlled the whole territory of Guizhou, and

began to plan the Northern Expedition. The specific military deployment is that Sun Kewang himself and Li Dingguo led the main army to attack Huguang in the east, while Liu Wenxiu and others led the elite troops to attack Sichuan.

In April of the eighth year of Shunzhi (1651), Sun Kewang sent general Feng Shuangli and others to lead tens of thousands of foot cavalry and more than ten elephants, and they marched from Guizhou to Hunan: one route was Tongren and Mayang, the other was Pingxi and Pishui, and the other was Thoreau, with a route size of

, to attack Yuanzhou (now Zhijiang, Hunan). There were only 3, soldiers in the 3rd Battalion of the Defender in Qingyuan Prefecture, who retreated into the city and were "surrounded by iron drums". On April 15th, Feng Shuangli bravely attacked the city, occupied Yuanzhou, and captured Zheng Yitong and Chai Gonggui, the Qing general, alive. Then they attacked Chenzhou (the government ruled in Yuanling), but Xu Yong, the general commander of Chenchang in the Qing Dynasty, was very strict in defense, and < P > failed to succeed. Shen Yongzhong, appointed by the Qing court as the successor of general print, Hunan Province, led 2, troops and tried his best to support them. The two sides were deadlocked for a period of time. In April of the ninth year of Shunzhi, Li Dingguo led his troops from Guizhou to Hunan, and joined Feng Shuangli to attack Jingzhou. Shen Yongzhong, the successor of the Qing Dynasty, sent Zhang Guozhu, the company commander, to lead 8, troops to aid, and was besieged in Jingzhou. After a short battle, the Qing army was defeated, losing 5,163 officers and men (including 1 Manchurian soldiers and 3) and 89 horses, almost completely annihilated. Zhang Guozhu led the remnants to "stumble back" on 22nd. The Ming army took advantage of victory to conquer Jingzhou and Wugang.

Shen Yongzhong had no hope of seeking help, so he was forced to flee from Baoqing to the north with his subordinates. On the second day of June, he retreated to Changsha, the provincial capital. However, he was still untenable. In Xiangtan, he received the secret message from the Qing court that "we should not fight without waves, and move to a conservative place". On the sixth day of August, he abandoned Changsha and fled to Yuezhou. Many officials of Dao, Fu, Zhou and County set up in Hunan in the Qing Dynasty also fled with the army to the north

. Among them, Zhang Zhaoqian, who was on patrol in Hunan Province, Guo Wanxiang, who was on patrol in Hunan Province, Feng Huan, the magistrate of Baoqing, Li Ceding, the magistrate of Yongzhou, Zhao Tingbiao, the magistrate of Changsha, Yang Shiying, the magistrate of Chenzhou, etc. And Xinhua, Chengbu, Xinning, Lingling < P >, Qiyang, Dongan, Ningyuan, Yongming, Jianghua, Hengyang, Hengshan, Changning, Anren, Yizhang, Guiyang, You < P > County, Changsha, Shanhua, Ningxiang, Yiyang, Xiangxiang, Taoyuan, Shaoyang, Liuyang, \. In this way, except for Yuezhou and Changde, which were still under the control of the Qing army, only the town of Xu Yong was left alone < P > defending Chenzhou (the government was in Yuanling) to fight back.

Since the Northern Expedition, the former Great Western Army has joined forces with the Ming Dynasty to resist the Qing Dynasty, and won the first test and recovered most of the counties in Hunan. Then Li Dingguo won a great victory from Guilin, beheading Kong Youde, the king of the south of the Qing Dynasty. Later, Sun Kewang transferred Li

from Guangxi to Hunan, and ambushed Ni Kan, the king of the Qing Dynasty who went south to crusade in Hengyang, killing him all. Ni Kan himself was also killed. Another 5,-strong army led by Liu Wenxiu, the king of Funan, launched an all-round counterattack by Jianchang, Xu Yong and Peng Shui, which also won Lien Chan and captured Chongqing, pushing Baoning. However, Liu Wenxiu was defeated by Wu Sangui, lost his general Wang Fuchen, and was forced to return to Guizhou. Sun Kewang also took the opportunity to

relieve Liu Wenxiu of his military power.

Sun Kewang, who is small and easy to make profits, lacks the mind to make overall plans and properly handle internal relations. Because he was very jealous of Li Dingguo's meritorious military service, he even sought to call Li Dingguo to Lingzhou (now Zhijiang County, Hunan Province, southwest of Huaihua City) to kill him during the deliberation

, but the matter was not solved. In order to stop Sun Kewang's separatist activities, Li Dingguo sent people or letters to persuade < P > several times, but Sun Kewang refused to listen, and the contradiction between the two sides deepened.

In the 14th year of Shunzhi (1657), Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo turned against each other completely, and sent an army of 14, troops from Guizhou

to Yunnan, in an attempt to wipe out Li Dingguo at one fell swoop. However, due to Feng Shuangli's defection, Sun Kewang was defeated and fled to Guiyang. At that time, Sun Kewang surrendered the Qing Dynasty and betrayed the southwest military situation, which made Li Dingguo and the southwest anti-Qing armed forces lose the most < P >. The Qing court named him the righteous king, and later he was shot dead by the Qing army while hunting, saying that he died of illness.
