The peasant uprising war in the late Ming Dynasty (1627~ 1664) lasted for 37 years, and its length, scale and far-reaching influence were rare in previous peasant uprising wars. It overthrew the reactionary and decadent rule of the Ming Dynasty, dealt a heavy blow to Manchu nobles in the subsequent anti-Qing struggle, and played a certain role in saving people's suffering, promoting the development of productive forces and promoting social development.

The peasant uprising war in the late Ming Dynasty once again showed that the people's power was powerful. As long as they were organized, they could completely overthrow the dark rule, which had great appeal and provided valuable historical experience for the peasant war in the Qing Dynasty and later.

At the same time, this war also shows that it is difficult to master political power without advanced class leadership, thorough spirit of struggle, the goal of working for the interests of the people wholeheartedly, and attention to reforming the backwardness, selfishness and conservatism of farmers.

The peasant uprising war led by Li Zicheng had both successes and many strategic shortcomings. Unable to consolidate victory in time, there is no research and training on defense and defense methods. So the final failure is inevitable. These have set up a mirror for future generations and have very important enlightenment significance.
