Li Zicheng (1606- 1645), the leader of peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty, was an outstanding strategist in ancient times. 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 eight-year Xingyang Congress, he put forward an action plan to divide his troops and attack from all sides, which was approved by Li Zicheng, the leader of various ministries, and became increasingly popular. 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.

Li Zicheng was born in August in the thirty-fourth year of Wanli (1606). Zicheng was born in Licun, 200 miles west of Mizhi River, more than 60 miles away from his old parents (both places are now Hengshan Mountain). Li Zicheng's ancestral home is Lijia Station in Mizhi County. There is a village called Li Qianji Village in Dianshi Town, Mizhi County, and the locals also call it Lijia Station. It has been handed down from generation to generation in the village and is a descendant of Li. Li Zicheng's ancestors moved from Taian, Gansu to Lijia Station (Xixia Liqianji Station) in Mizhi County, Shaanxi Province. His grandfather Li Hai was forced by life and moved to Changmao Village (now Hengshan County) in Mizhi County. People say that Li Zicheng "was born in Licun and grew up in Changmao Village", which refers to this matter. "Examination of Li Zicheng Nationality in Mizhi County" records: "I was born in Riemel, Tai 'an County, and I live in Beixiang, 70 miles away from Lijia Station in the south of the city, in Haihui Sigou. "

"Mizhi County Records" records: "Mizhi Li's surname is divided into Tai 'anli Corner Li and Yonghe Shilou Li. One is Tai 'anli Dimethyl, and the Li Zicheng family belongs to Tai 'anli Dimethyl, who migrated from Tai 'anli, Gansu before the Ming Dynasty. Another plum moved to Mizhi from Yonghe and shilou county, and the two plums are not from the same family. The Li family in Tai 'anli is a large family distributed in Mizhi urban and rural areas. "

Li Zicheng's family, Tai 'anli Dimei, migrated from Tai 'anli in Gansu to Lijia Station before the Ming Dynasty. And this Li family post station is the place where Tangut Tuoba Xiaping lived after moving from Gansu to the east.

Teenagers in Li Zicheng like guns, horses and clubs. After his father died, he went to the post station in charge of delivering court documents in the Ming Dynasty as a postman. There are many disadvantages in the post station system in the late Ming Dynasty. In the first year of Chongzhen (1628), Ming Sizong reformed and simplified the post office system. Li Zicheng was fired for losing his official documents, went home unemployed and was heavily in debt. In the winter of the same year, Li Zicheng was sued by Ai to the Mizhi county government because of her inability to repay her debts. County magistrate Yan Zibin "travels around the city mechanically, and there is no doubt that he will die." After being rescued by relatives and friends, he killed his creditor Zhao Ai at the end of the year. Then, Li Zicheng killed his wife for adultery with Han Jiner, a villager. Two lives were at stake, so the government had to ask and the lawsuit had to die. So in February (1629), Li Taichong joined the army in Ganzhou, Gansu (now Ganzhou District, Zhangye City). At that time, Yang was appointed as the company commander of Ganzhou, and Wang Guodong was appointed as a participant. Li Zicheng was quickly promoted by the kingdom to the general manager of the army. In the same year, in Yuzhong (now Yuzhong County, Lanzhou, Gansu Province), due to the problem of arrears of military pay, the warring vassal States and local county magistrate were killed and a mutiny was launched.
