Brief introduction of Li
During the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, the rulers wantonly annexed land, brutally plundered the working people, and a large number of peasants were displaced. At that time, the Jingxiang area at the junction of Hubei, Henan, Shaanxi and Sichuan was a relatively weak area in the Ming Dynasty. Although there are many mountains and Gu Duo here, it is very rich, and a large number of farmers who have lost their land have been exiled here to mine and reclaim land for a living. During the Tianshun period (1457~ 1464), there were more than 1.5 million refugees here. With so many refugees gathered here, the rulers were very scared and worried that they would rebel. So he sent troops to drive or arrest. The refugees had no choice but to hold an uprising under the leadership of Liu Tong in the winter of the eighth year of Tianshun (1464). Rebels quickly occupied Meixi Temple and established the peasant revolutionary regime. Liu was called Hanwang, with the title of "Desheng", taking Shilong (a monk) as his strategist and Miaolong and Hu Miao as pioneers. Yuan Lee is an important general under Liu Tong. Under the leadership of Liu Tong, the insurgents were invincible, capturing Xiangyang, conquering Dengzhou and entering Hanzhong, and the ranks grew to hundreds of thousands. In the second year of Desheng, that is, the first year of Ming Chenghua (1465), the insurgents defeated the Ming army. In the third year of Desheng, Bai Gui, the general of Ming army, divided and disintegrated the uprising team, which led to the failure of the uprising army. General Liu Cong, Hu Miao and so on 100 people died heroically in the desperate struggle with the enemy, and Liu Tong was also captured and sacrificed.
