The cause of Li Zicheng's death has always been controversial: both? When he escaped, there were only two dozen people around him. He was trapped by the villagers and couldn't get away, so he hanged himself. ? what's up Hang yourself? ; There are records in Tongshan County Records:? Jiubo gathered in the small garden to kill the thief first? what's up Died in battle? ; According to the "Li Family Tree" found in the home of Weiziwan village in Qingcheng town, it is inferred that after the defeat, Li Zicheng disguised himself as a monk and took refuge in his uncle in Qingcheng town in Yuzhong. In his later years, Li Zicheng lived in a nearby deep ravine and was buried at the foot of Longtoubaozi Mountain? Qingchengshan seclusion theory? And his disguised theory of hidden Zen in Jiashan Temple; Today, there is still a saying among the residents near Jiugong Mountain that Li Zicheng was buried in Jiugong Mountain.
Many of these statements are questionable:
1, Jiashan Temple Zen
Viewpoint: 198 1 year, an ancient tomb was discovered in Jiashan Temple, Shimen, Hunan. Archaeologists found that the owner of the tomb, monk Feng Tianyu, was buried according to this custom, which is different from the local burial custom. Finally, through all kinds of physical evidence, he thinks that Feng Tianyu monk is probably Li Zicheng. However, the doubt is obvious: in the history of Yujiashan's becoming a monk, Jade Monk Fengtian had close contacts with local officials, while Li Zicheng? Northern Shaanxi accent, a little over forty, blind in one eye? His appearance is quite obvious, and it is easy to expose his identity, which obviously does not match his identity.
2. The theory of seclusion in Qingcheng Mountain
Viewpoint: A copy of Li's Genealogy copied and supplemented in the third year of the Republic of China (19 14) was found in the home of Weiziwan village in Qingcheng town. After investigation and study, a brand-new conclusion is drawn: after Li Zicheng was defeated, he disguised himself as a monk and took refuge in Li Bin, uncle of Qingcheng in Yuzhong. Li Zicheng lived in a nearby deep ravine in his later years and was buried at the foot of Longtoubaozi Mountain.
However, according to scholars' research, Li Zicheng in Li Family Tree is different from Li Zicheng's native place, hometown, grandparents, parents and wife except that his name is the same as that of Li Zicheng, a peasant leader in the late Ming Dynasty. Obviously, he is not Li Zicheng, the Emperor of Dashun.
3. Battle death theory
The record in Tongshan county annals is:? Jiubo gathered in the small garden to kill the thief first? ; However, the genealogy of the Cheng family is recorded as follows: Thief Li Yan is at the foot of Niuji Mountain? ; There is no clear point that Cheng Jiubo did kill Li Zicheng, only that he killed Li Yan. The historical materials of Li Zicheng's hometown, such as Mizhi County Records and Yan 'an Prefecture Records, describe Li Zicheng's birth name and name a lot, but not? Delay? Word, found in succession "Dashun archives" records Li Yan as Dashun Zhao Hou, not Li Zicheng.
There have been different opinions about the final destination of Li Zicheng, but these views seem to have relevant evidence, but they are difficult to justify and full of doubts. ?

As for where he died, readers have their own opinions.
