At the beginning of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, due to the large number of people, Zhang Bingzhong followed Wang Zhaolin's suggestion: in Wuchang, Zhang Bingzhong changed the eight kings to the king of Daxi and began to establish the power of the Daxi peasant rebels. With a large amount of financial support, the six ministries and the five armies were specially set up as governors, and local officials began to be appointed. "Change Wuchang to Tianzhufu, Jiangxia to Shangjiang County, etc." He also began to organize the opening of the department and recruit talents, and admitted a total of 30 jinshi and 48 students, all of whom were awarded state and county official positions.

At this time, Li Zicheng was also known as the king in Xiangyang, and the strategist Song Xiance invited the so-called proverb "If you meet the good, you will stop", at least in the last years of Zhengde, it has been spread in the society. It is worth mentioning that in the widely circulated and named "Song of Baked Cakes" by Liu Bowen, there is also a saying that "if it is good, it will stop". Song Xiance is a very important figure. He was "proficient in Liuren, Qimen Dunfa and Diagrams", and was "regarded as a military advisor". Song Xiance is very good at using proverbs to invite favor and encourage people's hearts. According to records, he once wrote the "Eighteen Sons Master Artifact". In fact, since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the so-called "Li is king" proverb has been circulating for a long time. Peasant uprisings in the past dynasties often used this proverb to call on the people, and by the time of the Ming Dynasty, the "prophecy of the eighteen sons" officially appeared, and Song Xiance only attached this proverb to Li Zicheng. Out of consideration of "professional habits", Song Xiance will definitely be very interested in Liu Bowen's anecdotes, and I am afraid that he will not know the proverb "If it is good, it will stop". Li Zicheng attached great importance to Song Xiance, "believing in it like a god", such as the establishment of a national name, and it was inevitable to seek Song Xiance's opinion. Li Zicheng's choice of the country name "Dashun" is likely to accept the suggestion of Song Xiance and others, and to secretly respond to the proverb that he is the terminator of the Ming Dynasty; of course, there is also a trace of commitment to the sixth brother. In the first month of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng captured Chengtian and was promoted as "the generalissimo of Fengtian advocating righteousness and civil and military affairs". In March, Li Zicheng changed the name of Xiangyang to Xiangjing, and called him the "King of Xinshun," and at the same time adopted a series of political, military, and economic measures, laying the foundation for the establishment of national political power. On October 11, the sixteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Genzi, the general of Xi'an in the Ming Dynasty, led his troops to surrender and opened the east gate of Xi'an City to welcome the Shun army. Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, surrendered to Li Zicheng and offered the Qin palace as the Xinshun palace. Li Zicheng named Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, as the general of the right (Yipin Zhengzhi). At the end of the sixteenth year of Ming Chongzhen, Li Zicheng's rebel army conquered the three important towns on the three sides of Shaanxi with a thunderous momentum, and had an absolute military advantage. On the first day of the first month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng founded the country in Xi'an, with the country name Dashun and changed to Yongchang. Xi'an was changed to Chang'an, called Xijing, and the palace of the Ming and Qin kings was taken as the palace. Posthumously honored his great-grandfather as the emperor, his mother Lu as the queen mother, canonized Gao as the queen, and Chen as the concubine.

At the same time, Li Zicheng was ambiguous about Zhang Bingzhong's occupation of Wuchang at this time. Bingzhong did not want unnecessary friction between his brothers, so he led his troops south to Hunan in August, captured Yuezhou with 200,000 heavy troops, and then attacked Changsha, and the Ming Dynasty's general soldiers Yin Xianmin and He Yide surrendered.

After Zhang Bingzhong occupied Changsha, he immediately announced that he would be exempted from taxes and grain for three years. Then he attacked Hengzhou and its subordinate prefectures and counties non-stop, everywhere he went, the righteous army was disciplined, and Liu Xianting of the Qing Dynasty once recorded: Yu heard that Zhang Xianzhong (the leader of the bandits) came to Hengzhou, and did not kill a single person, so as to ask Lou Shenggong, then it was true!

In the first month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Tiaozhong led his troops to Sichuan, and the peasant army conquered Kuizhou, and the water rose over the embankment in Wanxian County, and stayed in Tun for three months to prevent floods. Then the rebel army successively conquered Liangshan, Zhongzhou, etc., and defeated Cao Ying, the general army of the Ming Dynasty. On 20 June, Zhu Changhao, the king of Rui, who had fled from Hanzhong, occupied Chongqing, an important town in northern Sichuan, and a number of Ming dynasty clans and bureaucrats, including the governor Chen Shiqi, the deputy military envoy Chen Xun, and the prefect Wang Xingjian, were captured and executed by the peasant rebels. On the fourth day of the seventh month, Zhang Bingzhong ordered Liu Neng to defend Chongqing, and he personally led the peasant rebels to advance to Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan, in three ways.

Along the road, the counties collapsed, the beacon fire was endless for hundreds of miles, and Chengdu was shaken. Sichuan Governor Long Wenguang rushed to the aid of Shunqing, and Chengdu transferred Liu Zhenfan, the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and nearby soldiers to defend the city. For a time, Chengdu reinforcements gathered four times under the city, and they were loyal and happy, so that everyone in the big bird camp disguised themselves as reinforcements, and took advantage of the chaos to mix into the city Long Wenguang did not argue. On the seventh day of the eighth month, the peasant rebels attacked the city from all sides at the same time, and the inner city was broken in three days. Zhang Bingzhong sent Ai Nengqi to attack Mianzhou, Li Dingguo to conquer Baoning, and Sun Kewang to go down to Long'an; Then Ainengqi conquered Yazhou, and most of Sichuan was now controlled by Zhang Bingzhong's peasant rebels. In a year, Sichuan and Shu were settled, and Bingzhong couldn't help but rejoice in his heart. Hurriedly ordered Wang Zhaolin to continue the strategy and stronghold matters of the Great West King.

In August of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Bingzhong entered Chengdu, Sichuan, and Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, committed suicide by throwing himself into a well with his concubines and palace maids. On August 16, Zhang Xianzhong proclaimed himself emperor and established the Great Western Kingdom, which became a separatist regime. According to the Shu people's Ouyang family's suicide note "Shu Police Record, Shu Chaos", when Zhang Xianzhong first entered the Shu Palace, he "saw a statue on the Duanli Gate, the prince's clothes, the gold human leather, the head and hands and feet are fleshy", that is, a peculiar statue wearing human skin. Zhang Bingzhong was very puzzled, so he found the eunuch of the palace, and only after asking did he know that this was "the blue jade of the Liangguo Gong in the early Ming Dynasty, and the father of the concubine of Shu". Lan Yunai is a fierce general under Zhu Yuanzhang, with great achievements and arrogance, and is suspicious of Zhu Yuanzhang. Lan Yu is a native of Dingyuan, Anhui Province, born tall and mighty, with the strength of a thousand catties in both arms, strong martial arts, and good at using a big knife. The Red Turban Army was prosperous, and he devoted himself to the army, and at first he was the steward of Chang Yuchun. Because he fought bravely and courageously, he was almost invincible every time he faced the battle, so he was deeply appreciated by Chang Yuchun. Zhu Yuanzhang also compared Lan Yu to Wei Qing of the Han Dynasty and Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty, and promoted him from a marquis to a duke. Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang was going to promote Lan Yu to the Duke of Liang Guo, but because of Lan Yu's various mistakes, he was temporarily renamed the Duke of Liang Guo, and engraved his mistakes on the iron coupon as a warning. But this Lan Yu is proud of his own merits, he is Chang Yuchun's wife and brother, Zhu Yuanzhang's sons and daughters, and the uncle of the crown princess, so he turned a deaf ear to Zhu Yuanzhang's warning, and still went his own way without correcting it at all. Zhu Yuanzhang was in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, and let people denounce Lan Yu and others for rebellion. Peeling the blue jade and peeling the grass, raiding the house, and exterminating the three clans, as many as 15,000 people were killed in this case, and the heroes of the early Ming Dynasty were almost killed in this case. In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, Lan Yu was accused of rebellion and was exterminated by Zhu Yuanzhang. At first, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to make Lan Yu Lingchi, but later "recited the old skills of Lan Yu, and changed it to peeling it and leaving the whole corpse". After Lan Yu's death, Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to deter and warn officials from all over the country, "spread the human skin of Lan Yu to all provinces" and toured the exhibition, and the last stop was Sichuan. Afterwards, Zhu Chun, the king of Shu who was "filial piety and kindness", invited Zhu Yuanzhang to leave the human skin of his father-in-law Lan Yu in Chengdu, and after embalming, processing, and makeup, it became a "work of art" for relatives to worship. Lan Yu died tragically, and her daughter Lan died the following year due to excessive grief, but Lan Yu's human skin was preserved for a long time until it was seen by Zhang Xianzhong, which led to a series of tragedies that annihilated humanity.

Although Zhang Bingzhong is a person who kills and kills, when he saw the "artwork" made of blue jade human skin, he also thought about how vicious the emperor's heart was. In July of the third year of Shunzhi, the Qing army attacked Sichuan, and Zhang Bingzhong couldn't stay in Chengdu anymore and decided to transfer. In order not to leave anything for the Qing army, before leaving, Zhang Bingzhong ordered all the official offices, private houses, and shops in Chengdu to be burned down, and this Shu Wangfu bore the brunt. According to the "Shunan Narrative", "the palaces of the palace cannot be burned, and they are poured with grease, but they are embers." "The fire burned for three days and three nights, and a magnificent and gorgeous Shu Wang's Mansion was reduced to ashes, and the human skin of Lanyu, which had been preserved for more than 250 years, disappeared from then on.

After this "blue jade human skin" view, did you ever want to be in this Shu Palace, but also gained a lot of money, not only got a heavy treasure, but also harvested some rare talents. In the palace of the king of Shu, those Hanlin officials who were rejected by the powerful were especially humble to scholars because they heard that Zhang Bingzhong treated the soldiers and generals well. Led by Wang Guolin, under the organization of Jiang Dingzhen, Gong Xian and Gong Wanjing, nearly one or twenty people were all under the account of King Daxi.

In the secret treasury of the treasure of the King of Shu, Bingzhong also found the evidence of rebellion that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, wanted to find most in the Lanyu Mansion - the jade seal of the founding of the Lan family. When I opened the brocade box, what came into my eyes was the big blue double dragon Taiji Youdou tourmaline seal, and the jade seal was the four big characters of "Prison Country Yongchang".

In addition, the Sichuan-Shu map of the east and west rivers presented by Wang Guolin can also be described as a treasure. It is said that if this thing is put together in two pictures, the country of Sichuan and Shu is in full view. This picture of Dongchuan was painted by Gong Wanjing, and the city and mountain are very detailed. And this map of Xichuan comes from the things offered by Zhang Song during the Three Kingdoms period.

There is such a story about the folklore of Zhang Song's dedication in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms": I heard that Zhang Lu was going to attack, and Liu Zhang was helpless. His subordinate Zhang Song volunteered to go to Xudu to persuade Cao Cao to attack Zhang Lu in Hanzhong and relieve the siege of Yizhou. Zhang Songyuan was about to dedicate the map of Xichuan to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao saw that he was obscene, arrogant, and not polite, and beat him with a stick. On the way back to Sichuan, Zhang Song was treated well by Liu Bei, and when he was moved, he dedicated the map of Xichuan to Liu Bei. Based on Zhang Song's dedication to the map, Liu Bei formulated the concept of "based on Jingzhou, seeking to take Xichuan, Hanzhong in the north, and pointing directly to Xuchang." The founding strategy. In the sixteenth year of Han Jian'an, after Zhang Song presented the map in Yizhou, Liu Bei, the uncle of the Emperor of Yicheng Pavilion, the general of the Han Zuo, raised 30,000 elite soldiers and led Pang Tong, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan into Sichuan. Since then, Liu Bei officially followed the strategy of Longzhong, thus laying the foundation of the 400-year-old Han dynasty of Zhongxing. It can be seen that the role of this map finally achieved Liu Bei's hegemony in establishing the Shu State.
