Extended data:

Origin of "Seven Killing Monuments": From July of the first year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty (1628) to March of the seventeenth year (1644), Li Zicheng, Zhang and other peasant armies grew up from small to large, from scattered to concentrated, from guerrilla mobile operations to mobile operations, and finally overthrew the war in Ming Dynasty.

Several peasant armies headed by Zhang, Luo Rucai. In the repeated ups and downs of war practice, it gradually matured. Li Zicheng, in particular, absorbed the opinions of intellectuals and began to implement the strategy of "winning the hearts of the people by acting righteously" and "taking the world according to Heluo". Politically, the policy of "white grain", "protecting the people" and "buying and selling the flat" was implemented, and the propaganda work of disintegrating the enemy was vigorously carried out, forming a situation that "the whole people attached thieves but not soldiers". Militarily, mobile operations were carried out and mobile attacks on the strategic points of the Ming army began. At the beginning of 14th, Luoyang fell. The joint forces of Zhang and Luo defeated the loyalist in Huangling, Kaixian County, Sichuan Province, and got rid of the loyalist pursuit at a speed of 300 miles a night. In February, they returned to Chu and attacked Xiangyang (see the battle of Xiangyang). Yang Sichang committed suicide. Luo Rucai left Li Zicheng because of disagreement. Zhang Jun was defeated in Xinyang and transferred to Anhui.

During the 14th to 16th years of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng attacked Kaifeng three times (see the battle of Kaifeng) and Xiangyang five times. The battle of Ruzhou wiped out Sun Chuanting's main force: breaking Tongguan, entering an, occupying the whole territory of Qin and Gansu and the Xishan area of Shanxi, and incorporating most of the trilateral officials. At this time, Zhang has also captured Hanyang and Wuchang. The strategic situation has undergone a qualitative change, and the peasant army began to turn into a strategic offensive.

At the beginning of the 17th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng went to Beijing after establishing Dashun regime in Xi 'an. He entered Shanxi in February, only in the first world war of Ningwu, that is, breaking Taiyuan and other places. In March, Datong, Fu Xuan and Juxi successively fell and were forced to the capital at the gates. 17, three loyalist battalions fell first. On the 18th, the eunuch guarding the city opened the door to offer the city. 19, the imperial city was breached, and Zhu Youjian hanged himself. The rule of the Ming Dynasty was finally overthrown by the peasant uprising. In August of the same year, Zhang captured Chengdu and established the Daxi regime.

In the third year of Shunzhi (1646), the Qing army entered Sichuan from southern Shaanxi and attacked the Daxi army. Zhang left Chengdu in July the following year, went north to fight the Qing army, and died in Phoenix Mountain (now the north of Nanxi County, Sichuan Province) in November. After Li Zicheng and Zhang died, the rest of the peasant army continued to fight. Dashun peasant army is divided into two roads, one led by Hao and Liu Tichun, and its activities are in the east of Dongting Lake. Another route is led by Gao, whose activity scope is west of Dongting Lake. Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo led the peasant army of Daxi to Sichuan and Guizhou, and persisted in the struggle against Qing Dynasty. The rest of Zhang continued to resist the Qing dynasty, and the Qing army slaughtered Sichuan. 1647, the Qing army publicly issued a notice: the whole city slaughtered the city, or killed all the men but left the women. In the 24th year of Kangxi, Sichuan was completely occupied with a population of only 90,000, and Huguang began to flood Sichuan. The Qing army concentrated its forces to suppress the insurgents and died. Gao, Liu Tichun and Hao died, fell, and Li Dingguo was defeated. By the fifteenth year of Shunzhi (1658), the remnants of the peasant army in the late Ming Dynasty had completely failed.
