Li Zicheng's death has a new explanation: "After the failure of the vigorous peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng did not become a monk or go to Jiugong Mountain. But moved to jincheng mountain in Lechang, northern Guangdong, where he remained dormant for six years and continued to fight the Qing army. Unfortunately, he was killed by his own rebels and died on horseback. Lechang is the ultimate destination. " This year marks the 360th anniversary of the establishment of Dashun regime by Li Zicheng, a peasant uprising army, and the overthrow of Chongzhen Dynasty by the Ming Dynasty. Xili, an archaeologist in Lechang, northern Guangdong, and a retired cadre in Lechang Sub-branch of Agricultural Bank of China, recently announced her research results to the society with the help of historical materials from the National Library, a large number of folklore and her field investigation in the past 20 years, and put forward a new theory of Li Zicheng's death, thus denying the original "Jiugongshan Theory" and "Jiashan Temple Theory" in the history circle. According to historical records, there was tyranny in the late Ming Dynasty, and peasant uprisings surged everywhere. In the third year of Chongzhen 1630, Li Zicheng called for the uprising of the hungry people in Mizhi. In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, with the help of military strategist Song Xiance and others, Li Zicheng led Dashun Army to conquer Beijing, forcing Emperor Zhu Youjian of Chongzhen to hang himself in Jingshan Park and overthrow the Zhu Ming Dynasty. However, after Li Zicheng went to Beijing, he took himself as the center, usurped the role of the emperor, ignored the counsel and advice of his subordinates, and insisted on going to Shanhaiguan to personally expedition to Wu Sangui, which led Wu Sangui to lead the Qing soldiers into the customs. As a result, he was defeated. After the defeat of Dashun Army, a large number of senior officials such as Li Zicheng and Song Dynasty became the targets of Qing soldiers. Li Zicheng then led the remnants of Dashun Army to withdraw from the south, cornered. For hundreds of years, there have been different opinions about the whereabouts of Li Zicheng and others, which has become an unsolved case in history. There is a new story about the death of Chu Zhuangwang about the whereabouts of Li Zicheng after the defeat. At present, there are two main stories that can be found in historical materials: first, he was killed by the landlord in Jiugongshan, Tongshan County, Hubei Province; The second is Jiashan Temple in Shimen County, Hunan Province. Hill, an archaeologist in Lechang, northern Guangdong, recently put forward his own "new theory", calling Li Zicheng's alias "Cao Guogong". He spent six years in the "Forever Golden City" in jincheng mountain, Lechang City, northern Guangdong Province. Unfortunately, he was killed by his own internal rebels and died on the way to Hunan and Guangdong. Also known as Li Zicheng, etc., "Madam Gao and the military adviser are finally Nanling." According to the introduction of Houshan, after the defeat of Li Zicheng recorded in historical records, the Dashun army was divided into two roads, the East Route Army led by Niu Jinxing and the West Route Army led by Gao went south. According to its textual research, it should actually be divided into three roads, that is, Li Zicheng was originally on the East Road, but it was separated in Xiangyang, and the Middle Route Army led by himself passed through Jingzhou, Lizhou, Fenghuang, Guangxi Longhuguan and Lianxian. There is no record of this in history. According to Hills' analysis, this is all due to the great strategist Song Xiance. He cleverly induced the Qing army to pursue the fake Chu Zhuangwang from Xiangyang to the southeast, but concealed that the real Chu Zhuangwang went south from Xiangyang, crossed the river from Jingzhou, and reached northern Hunan, western Hunan, northern Guangxi, southern Hunan and northern Guangdong, and even deceived the Qing army and many archaeologists for hundreds of years. He said that after Li Zicheng arrived in Jincheng Mountain, he took advantage of the dangerous terrain in this area and began to build the ancient city of Jincheng, the capital of Dashun, as a base, opposite Jinjiling, where the female soldiers led by Queen Gao were, and the Qingyun, which was guarded by the military division in the east, was United with Ming and Qing until it was harmed by the rebels. Buried in the mountains of jincheng mountain after death. Later, he was moved to the Buddhist land of Juyun Mountain. A hermit poem circulating in the local area, "The first three mountains, the last three mountains, turn nine bends in front of the running water;" On the left, there is a green dragon leaning against the royal list, and on the right, there is a white tiger facing Mashan. " Metaphor Li Zicheng buried place. Jincheng mountain, an ancient city wall hidden in the mountains, is a mountain at the junction of Guangdong and Hunan. It is located in the Wujiang River Delta in the northwest of Meihua Town, Lechang City, about 8 kilometers away from Shiping and Meihua Town. Recently, the reporter braved the scorching sun and the high temperature of 37 degrees Celsius to climb the mountain with the mountain. Jincheng mountain mountain is steep and rugged, easy to defend but difficult to attack. There is only one path leading to the top of the mountain. At the top of the mountain, there is an ancient wall made of hemp and stone blocking the mountain road, and the arch with a semi-arc top can only accommodate one person. Celie said that this is the gate of ancient Huang Jincheng. In addition to the hills formed by boulders, the terrain between boulders is relatively flat. Unfortunately, because no one has been here all the year round, this area is covered with thorns and it is impossible to go inside. Pointing to the depths, Hill told reporters that this area was Li Zicheng's troop station. At that time, "there were more than 10,000 people and thousands of masons, and there were camps such as Changzhai, Dazhai, Fangzhai, Yuanzhai and Penzhai". Bypassing the city gate, I walked about 1 km from another mountain road outside the city gate, and then I came to a temple with the inscription "Wan Fu Xian", where a wooden statue of Li Zicheng with the pen name "Cao Guogong" was enshrined. There are two stone tablets outside the temple, one of which is broken in two. Due to the age, most of the words on the stone tablet are illegible. However, under the guidance of the hill, the reporter can still see the words "Cao Guogong" engraved in several places. Xili told reporters that this stone tablet was carved in the period of the Republic of China, which was made by later generations to commemorate "Cao Guogong". The stone tablet is also engraved with "Cao Guogong set up a village here in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and he used the stone tablet to mean" eternal golden city ". Cao Guogong is Li Zicheng. According to Xiaoshan, "Cao Guogong" is Li Zicheng, which has been verified by Guangdong and Hunan archaeologists. However, in Meihua District of Lechang, people have passed it down from generation to generation, saying that Cao Guogong is not surnamed Cao, but surnamed Li, who is called Li's adult. Xili also said that there were more than 10,000 masons in Cao, and stone buildings such as city walls, pavilions and temples were all marked with dragon patterns, symbolizing that Cao Guogong was the real dragon emperor. In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, Li was the real dragon emperor, and there was no one but Li Zicheng. He also pointed out that in addition to these stone tablets, sites and local folklore, in Jincheng mountainous area, the mountain is steep, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the top of the mountain can station troops, which is a place where heroes can play, which also provides geographical conditions for Li Zicheng to station troops. In addition, Li Zicheng, alias Cao Guogong, has been to Phoenix, Longhuguan, Mangshan and other places, which are recorded in local county annals, and the statement that strategist Song Xiance and prince died in Qingyun Mountain also confirms his new theory.
