What are the stunts of Li Zicheng's counselor who was regarded as a guest of honor by the powerful people in Qing Dynasty?

Since Chongzhen acceded to the throne, there has been no peace in the world. In addition to successive years of natural disasters, we have to deal with the Manchu army outside the customs, and the insurgents wave after wave, which made Emperor Chongzhen nervous and almost sleepless. Finally, Gao Yingxiang was removed and Li Zicheng the conqueror appeared. He can be called the invincible Xiao Qiang. Although only 17 followers were beaten, they soon made a comeback.

Li Zicheng's life is legendary. He didn't like reading since he was a child, but he fell in love with knives, guns and clubs. In his twenties, he became an ordinary postman, responsible for delivering official documents of the imperial court. In order to reduce the expenditure of the national treasury, Chongzhen ordered the removal of post stations in many places, so Li Zicheng became unemployed. When he heard about the Gao Yingxiang Uprising and sent troops, he decided to do something great with his uncle.

The imperial court sent troops to destroy Li Zicheng many times, but failed to achieve its goal. Instead, it made his strength stronger and stronger, and Chongzhen was quite depressed. Anyone who can achieve something cannot do without the assistance of civil servants and military commanders. Whether Li Zicheng can compete with the imperial court depends on his advisers, such as Song Xiance trusted by Li Zicheng.

There are not many records about Song Xiance, even the date of birth and death are not left, except that he is from Yongcheng, Henan, and Song Xiance is not his real name, but he changed his name before going to Li Zicheng. This guy likes reading books since he was a child, but the books he reads have nothing to do with the imperial examination. They are all books on divination, taking Guiguzi as an idol and wanting to be a great god like Guiguzi.

At that time, people still ate this set. Song's suggestions were eloquent and he could package himself. He soon became a psychic in the eyes of the world and became more and more famous. Soon after, he felt that his hometown was too small to give full play to his talents and decided to go to a big city for development. Although he is not rich or expensive, at least he doesn't worry about eating or drinking.

After several years' travel, Song Xiance has met many Jianghu heroes with different horizons and realms. Among Song Xiance's friends, a juren is called Niu Jinxing. They are very close and often drink together. They once made an oath to "never forget each other". Later, Niu Jinxing joined the insurgents in Li Zicheng and became Li Zicheng's right-hand man. He didn't forget his good friend Song Xiance, so he said to Chu Zhuangwang, "I know a wizard who is good at planning and predicting world events. If he can reuse it, he will achieve great things! "

Li Zicheng was overjoyed. He quickly sent someone to invite Song Xiance to the barracks to meet him personally, and did some tests to see if Song Xiance was really as bad as Niu Jinxing said. Song Xiance not only said that he was good at Daoism and divination, but also had a deep study of the art of war, and made a prophetic poem on the spot: "Flowing into the trunk of a river, falling into eighteen beaches. If you want to go to the sky, you start at Yanmenguan. "

In this way, Li Zicheng admired Song Xiance's ability and worshipped him as a strategist. No matter how big or small the war is, you should consult with him before making a decision. After the establishment of Dashun regime, Li Zicheng, Niu Jinxing and other generals began to get carried away. Only Song Tiao and Yan Li are awake. Yan Li was framed by Niu Jinxing until his death. Song Xiance was so sad that he even felt the final outcome of Li Zicheng.

What happened later, as Song Xiance expected, Li Zicheng was defeated by Wu Sangui and the Qing army, and finally died in Jiugong Mountain. Song Xiance and others were captured by the Qing army. Surprisingly, the Qing army killed all the other prisoners, but Song Xiance didn't touch a finger, all because he had the stunt of being able to pinch and calculate, and he became the guest of the Qing dynasty dignitaries with this stunt. There is a record in The Journey to the West: "Manchu people attach great importance to skills, from which they ride more."
