2. "Farmland without food" is not only the uprising slogan of the peasant army, but also the political program. This policy objectively satisfied the people's desire for land, so the rebels won the support of the people. In the voice of "cutting the rich to help the poor" and distributing social wealth equally, the uprising team grew rapidly. The growth of the rebel army is also directly related to the social environment in Shaanxi. During the years of Apocalypse and Chongzhen, Shaanxi suffered from drought year after year. Instead of allocating any money for disaster relief, the imperial court stepped up tax collection, increased levy and explored the micro-wealth. The people's desire to break this cruel status quo is very strong, and their enthusiasm for joining the uprising ranks is getting higher and higher. Li Zicheng promptly adopted the advice of Yan Li, a counselor, and loudly put forward the slogans of "no food in the fields", "buy flats and sell flats" and "cut the rich to help the poor", which was very in line with the wishes of the people, and the rebels gained unprecedented momentum.

3, Li Zicheng announced that "in order to save the people, so arise", [27] thus put forward the slogan of "restraining soldiers and protecting the people", determined to take "benevolence" as the teacher, resist the loyalist and seize the world. In order to win the hearts of the people, he put forward the idea of "even fields and free of grain". He focused on improving the combat capability and constantly strengthening the construction of the peasant army. Pay attention to the establishment of the army and divide the insurgents into combat troops and local garrison troops. The combat troops are divided into five battalions: the center, the left, the right, the front and the back, which are distinguished by different colors of flags, and are led by the general, the general, the general, the general Guo Yi and the mighty general. Mainly infantry and cavalry, as well as artillery, engineers and water army. Attach importance to improving weapons and equipment, and equip troops with seized guns, gunpowder, shovels and mules and horses. Attach importance to training and practicing martial arts, and stipulate that soldiers get up at four o'clock to practice martial arts; When the troops are stationed, "the school rides and shoots it, which is called' standing' and finishing at night" [28]. Reward bravery, punish timidity, and cultivate the fighting style of the insurgents. Attach importance to military discipline and require soldiers to strictly abide by the constraints and act according to orders. Pass cards everywhere to apply for an injunction: "Don't rape women, don't kill innocent people, and don't plunder property" [29]. The use of soldiers is flexible and changeable, "no need for ancient methods" [30]. Be good at maneuvering to control the enemy. He led the peasant army to chase and intercept the superior enemy, looking for opportunities to annihilate the enemy in the movement, and smashed the repeated encirclement and suppression of the Ming army. In order to improve the mobility of troops, cavalry "a soldier must have two Sanma, but also gallop without fatigue" [28]. He is good at avoiding the real and attacking the virtual, winning by surprise, and defeating the enemy by means of long-range attack, luring the enemy into ambush, diverting troops from the east to the west and attacking the city to help the enemy. Li Zicheng's understanding and practice of peasant war played an important role in the history of peasant war in ancient China, and had a certain influence on later generations. However, the lack of attention to the construction of base areas in the early stage and the lax management of the army in the later stage led to the relaxation of discipline and the weakening of combat effectiveness, which led to the rapid overthrow of the Dashun regime.
