Uprising in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties?

At the end of the apocalypse, famine continued throughout Shaanxi. Serious drought and insect disaster occurred in northern Shaanxi, and seedlings withered and starved to death everywhere. Due to the stimulation of overseas trade, a large area of land in the wealthy southern Ming Dynasty was used to grow cash crops, and the grain output declined. The drought in the north led to more food shortages and food prices began to rise. Accordingly, the central government of the Ming Dynasty reduced its tax revenue due to famine years. With the further financial constraints, relief has become an empty talk. Without relief, farmers can't live, and finally they have to take risks and rebel. The peasant uprising broke out in northern Shaanxi first, which soon formed the trend of starting a prairie fire. At first, Wang Jiayin and Wang Zi took advantage of Fugu uprising, and they occupied Huanglong Mountain. Then Wang Zuogua from Yichuan, Gao Yingxiang from Anzhai, Zhang Cunmeng from Luochuan, Wang Heshang from Yanchuan, Wang Daliang from Hannan and so on. All responded, and the fire of struggle spread throughout Shaanxi. Soon, Li Zicheng joined the rebels in Gao Yingxiang after the Mizhi uprising.

Li Zicheng (1606- 1645) was the leader of the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty. Formerly known as Hongji. When he proclaimed himself emperor, he regarded Li as Mao. Licun, Mizhi County, Shaanxi Province. When I was a child, I worked as a shepherd for the landlord (once I said my family was rich) and as a postal courier in Yinchuan. In the second year of Chongzhen (1629), he rebelled and fought bravely under Gao Yingxiang. At the Xingyang Congress in 1988, he put forward an operational plan of dividing troops and attacking in four ways, which was approved by the leaders of various ministries and gained increasing prestige. The following year, after Gao Yingxiang's death, he continued to be called Chuangwang. Eleven years in Tongguan defeat, only rate Liu Zongmin and more than ten people, hidden in Shangluo (at the junction of Henan and Shaanxi) mountainous area. The next year, the mountain rose again. Thirteen years later, he was trapped in Yudu Mountain, Brazil, and broke through with fifty riders and entered Henan. At that time, the famine in the Central Plains was serious and the class contradictions were extremely acute. Yan Li put forward slogans such as "even the fields are not paid", which were welcomed by the broad masses of the people, and there was a ballad of "welcoming the king and refusing food". The army has grown to millions and become the main force of the peasant war. In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen (1643), Xiangyang was called Xinshun King. In the same year, in Ruzhou (now Linru), Henan Province, Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi Province in the Ming Dynasty, was completely annihilated and successfully occupied xi 'an. In the first month of the following year, the Dashun regime, named Yongchang, was established. Soon, he conquered Beijing and overthrew the Ming Dynasty. Because when the rebel leader won, he made a proud mistake and persecuted the Wu Sangui family. Forced to fight against Wu Sangui, Manchu nobles entered the customs and jointly attacked the peasant army. Faced with failure, he withdrew from Beijing and led his troops to Henan and Shaanxi. In the second year of Yongchang (1645), I visited Jiugong Mountain in Tongshan, Hubei. Li Zicheng mysteriously disappeared. After the fall of Qing Dynasty, the rest of Li Zicheng rebelled against Manchu Dynasty and continued the struggle against Qing Dynasty.
