In the fourth year of Chongzhen (1631), Sun Chengzong built Dalinghe City. Qin Yiming led 10,000 people to protect it. After the construction was completed, he led his troops back.

In the seventh year of Chongzhen (1634), bandits invaded Henan. The imperial court appointed Qin Yiming as the chief military officer and asked him to lead the army to attack them.

The following year, after the death of General Deng Wangji, because his subordinates were all from Sichuan, the court ordered Qin Yiming to lead them. They defeated the rebels in Qingya River, Wujiayan, and Yuanjiaping, and blocked the route of the rebels.

The road to Yunxi.

However, Qin Yiming had a panicky temperament and lacked courage. His generals failed one after another, but he failed to report truthfully to his superiors. Therefore, he was removed from the rank of governor, demoted to the second level, and continued to suppress thieves.

Later, he followed Lu Xiangsheng to chase the rebels in Gucheng. The rebels fled to Junzhou, where Qin Yiming defeated them at Qingshipu.

The bandits entered the mountains to defend themselves, and Qin Yiming defeated them again. Then he defeated the bandits in Jieshan, Sandaohe, and Huayuangou, and captured the two bandit generals Heishashen and Feishanhu.

The bandits were infested in the Yunyang and Xiangyang areas. When Miao Xutu, the governor of Yunyang, sent an envoy to recruit the bandits to surrender, Qin Yiming agreed with the matter. However, he was deceived and the bandits did not surrender in the end.

Qin Yiming and Miao Xutu were both impeached. Later, the bandits invaded Xiangyang. Yiming fought continuously to gain results and stationed troops at Miaotan to guard the shallow water of the Han River.

Only Luo Rucai and Liu Guoneng crossed over from the deep water, and then they harassed Qichun and Huanggang areas.

Emperor Chongzhen dismissed Miao Xutu from his position and severely criticized Qin Yiming. Soon Qin Yiming was impeached and dismissed from his official position.

Rebel against the king

In the seventh year of Chongzhen (1634), Zhang Xianzhong captured Kuizhou (now Fengjie County, Chongqing City), an important town in eastern Sichuan. Qin Liangyu led his army to arrive, but Zhang Xianzhong left without fighting.

Qin Liangyu led his army in pursuit, and he and his son Ma Xianglin, who happened to be returning to Sichuan, attacked Zhang Xianzhong in front and back, and defeated Zhang Xianzhong, forcing him to retreat to Huguang. Zhang Xianzhong was then recruited by the imperial court.

In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen (1640), Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai rebelled again.

Luo Rucai led his troops to attack Kuizhou. Qin Liangyu led his troops there, but Luo Rucai left without fighting.

Qin Liangyu pursued to Majiazhai and defeated Luo Rucai, beheading 600 people. Qin Liangyu led his troops to pursue him again and defeated the enemy troops successively at Liumaya, Tanjiaping Beishan and Xiansiling.

Their leader, Dongshan Hu, was beheaded and deputy Tuantian was captured alive. Hui Deng, the prime minister, and Wang Guangen surrendered.

And captured Luo Rucai's commanding flag, Luo Rucai's army gradually declined.

In the same year, Yang Sichang invited himself as the supervisor to go to Sichuan to suppress the bandits.

Yang Sichang advocated the strategy of driving the thieves into Sichuan and transferred elite troops from Sichuan to join Chu. Sichuan Governor Shao Jiechun led 20,000 old and weak soldiers to guard Chongqing.

The only generals he relied on were Zhang Ling and Qin Liangyu, but Shao Jiechun did not fight for the mountains and dangers, and defended passively. He asked Qin Liangyu to set up defenses thirty or forty miles near Chongqing, and sent Zhang Ling to guard Huangniwa.

Qin Liangyu lamented to Lu Xuzhi, the magistrate of Mianzhou (now Mianyang City, Sichuan Province), who had resigned, and pointed out the shortcomings of this kind of defense, and felt ashamed to die in battle with Shao Jiechun.

Soon, Shao Jiechun moved his camp to Dachang, and the supervisor Wan Yuanji also stationed troops in Wushan, echoing Qin Liangyu.

In October, Zhang Xianzhong defeated the official army at Guanyinyan and Sanhuangling, and then crossed the Yangtze River from Shangma to march.

Qin Liangyu and Zhang Ling quickly led their troops to block the attack at Zhuhuiping, defeating the bandit's vanguard.

However, Zhang Ling died in battle soon, and Qin Liangyu's attempt to rescue him was unsuccessful. The battle failed again, and almost all of his 30,000 men died in the battle.

Qin Liangyu then asked to see Shao Jiechun alone and suggested that he use his 20,000 Xitong soldiers to defeat the rebel army. He was willing to pay half of the food and salary, and the other half needed government support.

However, Shao Jiechun and Yang Sichang did not get along, and there was no ready food in the warehouse, so he refused. Qin Liangyu had no choice but to sigh and return.

At that time, the sky was shaken, and Huang Long and other thirteen clans of traitors were rampant in Sichuan.

There was a man named Qin Zuanxun, a member of Qin Liangyu's tribe, who acted as an informant for the bandits. After being captured, he killed the jailer and escaped.

Liangyu captured him and handed him over to the government, and none of his men escaped.

Regret to die

In the 16th year of Chongzhen (1643), Zhang Xianzhong captured Wuchang, executed Chu King Zhu Huakui, and led his troops to invade Sichuan again.

Qin Liangyu presented the situation in Sichuan to Governor Chen Shiqi and suggested sending troops to guard thirteen passes.

But Chen Shiqi didn't use it, and Qin Liangyu asked Liu Zhibo, the patrol commander. Liu Zhibo agreed with Qin Liangyu's plan, but he had no troops to send.

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (1644), Zhang Xianzhong led his army to march straight in and invaded Kuizhou again. Qin Liangyu led his army to rescue, but was outnumbered and defeated.

After Zhang Xianzhong captured Chengdu, Qin Liangyu said to his subordinates:

"Both of my brothers died in battle, and I, a woman, have been favored by the country for twenty years. At this stage, I still dare to stand against the thieves!"

So Qin Liangyu divided his troops to guard the Shidi territory. Zhang Xianzhong went everywhere to recruit Sichuan chieftains, but he did not dare to come to Shidi.

In the second year of Longwu (the third year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, 1646), Emperor Longwu Zhu Yujian, who was far away in Fujian, sent an envoy to Shizhu, and granted Qin Liangyu the title of Taibao and Prince Taibao, and the title of Zhongzhenhou (Qian Haiyue's "History of the Southern Ming Dynasty" was named Zhongzhouhou).

).

At the same time, Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang, who was in the southwest, conferred the title of Crown Prince Taifu of Qin Liangyu and appointed him as an envoy to Sichuan. He also appointed General Zhendong to supervise the troops and pacify the thieves in Sichuan.

In the fifth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1648), Qin Liangyu passed away.

In the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign, Zhang Xianzhong captured Sichuan. After proclaiming himself emperor in Chengdu, he sent people to recruit and surrender the chieftains of Sichuan.

Qin Liangyu's military strength was weak, and some suggested surrendering and some suggested transferring, but Qin Liangyu refused to surrender and rebelled against King Zhang Xianzhong.

He wrote "Sticking to the Stone Pillar" and vowed to live and die with the Stone Pillow. So Qin Liangyu divided his troops to guard various dangerous places. Zhang Xianzhong had fought with Qin Liangyu many times before and was attacked.

Although they are now powerful, they dare not approach the stone guard guarded by Qin Liangyu.

It is said that Qin Liangyu was buried in 48 places after his death, and the people buried later died of poisoning. There are three existing tombs of Qin Liangyu

:1. Qin Liangyu Tomb is located on Huilong Mountain, 7 kilometers east of Shizhu County. It was built during the Shunzhi Period of the Qing Dynasty, with a total area of ​​320 acres.
