Later, he joined the army as a soldier, but because of his strong personality, he always stood up when he saw unfair things. He was not only punished by his superiors, but also almost lost his life. He couldn't accept such a thing, so he raised the flag himself, resisted, and finally threw himself into the fury of the peasant uprising.
In A.D. 1630, Zhang expressed support for actively suppressing the Ming Dynasty. Before long, he became his own family and began to have his first team. He claimed to be the Eight Kings, and later became an important leader of the 36th Battalion, and was famous for his tactical ingenuity. After his death, Zhang defected and his love affair with Li Zicheng began.
But then two people often separated because of disagreement. Later, under the fierce attack of government forces, the persecuted Zhang had to hide his housekeeping skills first, so he surrendered to the court. Submitted to the court, Zhang seemed to be an official of the court at this time, but he did not dismiss the soldiers, but secretly strengthened training and wanted to stand up again.
1639, Zhang felt that the opportunity had come, so he began to betray the court and returned to the rivers and lakes with his military forces. First, he attacked Sichuan and killed the prince of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming dynasty sent an encirclement campaign, but it was controlled by Zhang. Shortly after the defeat, Yang Sichang died of weakness.
In A.D. 1643, Zhang became the King of the Great West and continued to attack Sichuan. The insurgents, who claimed to have an army of 600,000, controlled the whole of Sichuan in a short time, so they called themselves the Great Western Emperor. It's a pity that this wonderful life was surrounded by the Qing dynasty a few days ago before it was enjoyed. As the prince of the Qing Dynasty, Wang personally led the troops into Sichuan. Zhang was slowly eliminated because he was not familiar with the terrain here, and Zhang was also killed by an arrow.
Zhang's death did not have much impact on the rest of the troops. They continued to fight, and cooperated with the government of the ghost king of Nanming to crack down on the forces of the Qing Dynasty, and planned to restore the Central Plains. It is reported that there are more and more mysterious stories after Zhang's death. Some people say that he hides a lot of treasures. At that time, the entry of the Qing army made Sichuan very chaotic.
Some officials before the Ming Dynasty didn't believe Zhang's words, so they killed the officials he sent. Nominally, it seems that Sichuan is controlled, but the real situation is that those controlled places are very narrow. Zhang likes to run around and has no fixed foothold, which is why he doesn't have a reliable base in Sichuan. People don't like Zhang's practice and oppose him.
In the form at that time, Zhang had already felt that the arrival of the Qing army was bound to split the regime of Daxi, and he had to be prepared for disaster. He frantically robbed gold, silver and jewels in Sichuan and sank all these things into the river, thinking that if he could start over in the future, he would not be without property protection.
He used some Shi Niu and stone drums as signs to prevent time from passing too long and forgetting where the river sank. Unfortunately, Zhang finally died on the battlefield, and there was no way to consider whether the secret was true or not. Just last year, on 20 17, a villager, Song, heard this story and had his own diving experience. He wanted to see if it was true, so he put on a diving suit and got into the water.
No one could have imagined that Song, who had been diving for a long time, actually touched a golden pimple, and the weight was not small. When he landed, he found that the golden pimple was actually a Jin Hu. Song, overjoyed, decided to dive underwater again. As a result, he touched the marshal seal of Yongchang, as well as some gold brochures and a series of silver ingots.
Song sold these properties at this time, but I don't know if he knew that once these things belonging to cultural relics were found to be illegal as a business, he said that he picked them up by himself, not by doing bad things. Even if he had more reasons, he was finally sentenced.
Maybe he knew it was impossible, but his findings provided strong evidence for experts. The treasure they found was identified by experts as Zhang's. No wonder experts claim that Zhang's treasure is here.
