If Wu Sangui had successfully rebelled, how would later history books evaluate him?
On March 23, 1678, Wu Sangui was proclaimed emperor and the founding name was Zhou, but it was a pity that although Wu Sangui occupied most of the world at this time, his years were not good with him, and 6 months later, Wu Sangui fell ill and died, ending the Rebellion of San Francisco and becoming a stepping stone for the wisdom of The Kangxi Dynasty. In fact, Wu Sangui accepted Kangxi's slashing of the domain, and may be able to retain a result of enjoying his old age, after all, Wu Sangui's relationship with Xiaozhuang is still good, and in addition, the emperor Taiji also promised Wu Sangui hereditary lineage, it can be said that as long as Wu Sangui honestly gives his rights to Kangxi, his later life can be guaranteed.
But Wu Sangui took a wrong step, which led to the wrong step in the back!
Although Wu Sangui's final rebellion is not a "historical trend", even if Wu Sangui's rebellion is successful, the evaluation of him in the history books will not be good there, which is just like Lü Bu, who was angrily scolded by Zhang Fei as a "family slave with three surnames".
Wu Sangui did four great things in his life, resisting the Qing, descending the Qing, killing Nanming, and finally rebelling against the Qing, really drawing a circle for his life and scoring a "0" score! The final result is the title of extreme egoist.
First of all, wu Sangui's former dynasty, that is, the Chongzhen period, once had the reputation of loyal servants and filial piety. When Wu Sangui was 17 years old, he only led 20 jiading to break into the Qing army to surround and rescue his father, and became famous in the First World War. What is interesting is that Huo Went ill when he was 17 years old, he led the troops out of the plug to establish the Wanqiu meritorious deeds for the Han Dynasty, and it seems that such a shadow also appeared on Wu Sangui, making Chongzhen think that Daming was saved!
In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, the Battle of Songshan, the defeat of Daming, Wu Sangui became the last hope of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong. In this regard, Emperor Taiji personally wrote a letter to persuade him to surrender, and also gave Wu Sangui enough face while xu high-ranking official Feng Lu, but what about Wu Sangui? Wu Sangui, instead of surrendering, directly led his army to rush to Huang Taiji. This was in the Ming Dynasty at that time, who had Wu Sangui Zhongyong? However, in the eyes of those Donglin Parties that Chongzhen trusted, Wu Sangui was more like a lone minister fighting!
But later Wu Sangui was cleared, supposedly for a woman Chen Yuanyuan! It really made Chong Guan angry and red, but in fact it was: Li Zicheng was trapped in Beijing, Wu Sangui qin wang did not succeed, and finally Chongzhen martyred himself, and Wu Sangui had no choice but to surrender. In fact, in the situation at that time, Wu Sangui as a lone army, and no supplies of the lone army, Wu Sangui only has two choices, but these two choices have a very big contradiction, if Wu Sangui chooses to surrender to Li Zicheng, it will become a joke, Li Zicheng forced Chongzhen to die, this vendetta is a bit similar to not sharing the heavens, so Wu Sangui surrendered to Li Zicheng is never possible. So only surrender to the Great Qing?
Lowering qing is Wu Sangui's best choice, but in this way, the "traitor" hat on Wu Sangui's head will also be solid. However, this "traitor" is a bit difficult to talk about, after all, Wu Sangui has done his best to Begami, if he has to express his loyalty in the form of jumping into the river like Qian Qianyi, then Wu Sangui is a bit pitiful, but the funny thing is that although this Qian Qianyi committed suicide by jumping into the river, but because the river was too cold, he did not succeed in committing suicide in the end.
However, Wu Sangui became more and more like a "traitor" in the matter of killing Nanming, and when he directly attacked the old nest of Nanming, he captured the Yongli Emperor, and according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, all important personnel of the Ming Sect who were captured or surrendered were sent to Beijing for disposal, but Wu Sangui fell well and directly killed them in Yunnan. However, this point Wu Sangui did have traces to follow, after all, this first point dispelled the doubts of the Great Qing about Wu Sangui's "anti-Qing restoration", and the second point can also preserve the credit that has been obtained.
According to the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty", the Yongli Emperor was strangled to death, and after being strangled, Wu Sangui also cremated him, and then the body was scattered in ashes, and he carried out a ritual of destroying the corpse and destroying the traces. And this one thing also more directly confirmed that Wu Sangui was a Han thief!
As for the final rebellion, Wu Sangui was obviously forced by Kangxi, Kangxi was too anxious, and the matter of cutting the domain was ordered by Shunzhi and Dolgun, and it was also written into the golden book, but Kangxi openly rebelled against the ancestors for the sake of the four words of "wise and divine martial arts", and it can be said that Wu Sangui and others were treacherous and resolutely cut the domain, and as a result, Wu Sangui turned again, and suddenly hit the south of the Yangtze River from Yunnan to the south of the Yangtze River, and the entire southern Jiangshan was Wu Sangui's, but unfortunately Wu Sangui was two sideburns at this time, and he did not return to his youth! His son Wu Yingxiong was also killed by Kangxi, and Wu Sangui once again became a lone soldier!
If God gave Wu Sangui five hundred years to give him enough time to oppose the Qing, I believe that Kangxi could not win the battle, so if Wu Sangui really succeeded in opposing the Qing, there would be another problem, is it anti-Qing and restoration? Or to establish your own Great Zhou Dynasty? Obviously, the personnel under Wu Sangui's command all hoped to be able to be the founding heroes, so Wu Sangui chose to "open the country" in the later title of emperor, but in this way, Wu Sangui would be like Zhu Yuanzhang, who would be famous in history, after all, the pen of the historian could be beautified! But! The problem is that the founding emperor of this hypothetical country is somewhat hypocritical by the pen of fear of beautification, and people in future generations will not believe in a "three-surnamed family slave" who resists the Qing, surrenders, and opposes the Qing.
