Wu Sangui was a Ming Dynasty executioner, because he led the Qing soldiers into the pass and led to the fall of the Han people.
After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty and then rebelling, it can be said that he is a capricious villain.
When San Francisco rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, the total strength of the army reached 600,000, far superior to the Qing Dynasty's army, but why was the mighty San Francisco rebellion put down after only five years?
The rebellion in San Francisco was caused by Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, who requested the return of Liaodong, but demanded that his son Shang Zhixin remain in charge of Guangdong, which sparked a heated debate over whether to withdraw the domain.
In the end, the Kangxi Emperor believed that "the town of Fanzhen has long held heavy troops, the momentum is large, and it is not a national interest", and decided to order the withdrawal of the domain.
This annoyed Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui proposed to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty in Yunnan, killing Zhu Guozhi, the governor of Yunnan, and leading an army to attack Hunan the following year.
Due to Wu Sangui's despoticism in central Yunnan for fourteen years, at the beginning of the rebellion, the rebels took advantage of the sharp link to the whole province of Guizhou and Hengzhou in Hunan.
The henchmen of King Jingnan of Fujian, King Erfan of Pingnan of Guangdong, and Wu Sangui in various places, such as Zheng Jiaolin, Tan Hong, and Wu Zhimao of Sichuan, Luo Sen and Sun Yanling of Guangxi, Fuchen of Shaanxi, and Cai Lu of Hebei, also successively raised the banner of rebellion and responded one after another.
Suddenly, the situation was very favorable to Wu Sangui.
In the thirteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the Battle of Yuezhou broke out.
This was a battle in which the military situation between the two sides took an important turn.
Wu Sangui's henchmen in various places have also turned away from Germany one after another, and each has its own plot.
Soon after, Wu Sangui declared himself emperor, but soon fell ill and died.
After that, the Qing army successively recaptured Hunan, Guangxi, and Sichuan, and then attacked Kunming, Wu Shipan committed suicide, and San Francisco was pacified.
The San Francisco Rebellion, with so many troops, spread to the southern provinces and showed superiority in the early stage.
Why did the San Francisco Rebellion fail again?
First, Wu Sangui's slogan was anti-Qing and restoration.
But who in the world did not know that the traitor Wu Sangui led the Qing army into the pass, causing the Manchu Qing iron to ride in the Central Plains like a bamboo, and it was also Wu Sangui who personally strangled the Yongli Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
This is a complete slap in the face.
People who supported the Ming Dynasty would not buy his account at all, so he did not have the support of a wide range of Han scholars.
Second, although Wu Sangui's military strength was strong, it did not have a strategic vision.
After the uprising, Wu Sangui did not "rush across the river and the whole division to the north", and tried to promote political success with military victory;
There was no "lower Jinling, strangle the Yangtze River, and no north-south passage" or "out of Bashu, according to Hanzhong, Sai Kun Han self-consolidated" to establish a consolidated rear, but divided the troops in Hunan, Jiangxi, and Hubei, and competed for some towns of low strategic value one by one, missing the fighter plane, giving the Qing government time to calmly arrange a counterattack, so that it was quickly broken by the Qing army.
Finally, and most of all, the main reason.
At this time, it had been thirty years since the Qing army entered the customs, and the national contradictions had long since relegated to secondary contradictions, and Wu Sangui's call to oppose Manchu was nothing more than carving a boat and seeking a sword, divorced from reality.
Moreover, Wu Sangui's self-performance after his surrender to the Qing Dynasty was also too sufficient, and at the moment when the ethnic contradictions were at their sharpest and the national struggle was the most fierce, he vowed to "be loyal to the new dynasty" and do his utmost to suppress the anti-Qing rebels in various places.
Wu Sangui's self-expression also made people see through him as a self-interested, duplicitous, and capricious ambitionist, which made people scornful and ashamed.
There is also the fact that he connived at his subordinates to do wrongdoing, fish and flesh of the people, "killing people and goods, without fear, prosecuting and killing two cases, and the soldiers accounted for the majority of them", making a mess in Yunnan.
To sum up, Wu Sangui has been so repeated that even if he plays the slogan of anti-Qing and restoration, it is impossible to succeed.
