The Ming Shi Liukou says: "At the beginning, Sangui was ordered to enter Shanhaiguan, and the Beijing division fell and hesitated. Zicheng robbed his father Xiang, wrote a book to recruit, Sangui wanted to surrender, to Luanzhou, Wen Aiji Chen Yuan was plundered by Liu Zongmin, indignant, rushed back to the mountains and seas, attacked the thieves. Angered by himself, his relatives thief more than 100,000 people, wu xiang yu jun, attacked Shanhaiguan in the east, and did not cross the border from a piece of stone. Sangui was afraid and begged to surrender to me. "
Talking about Wu Sangui, many people think of all about his and Chen Yuanyuan's poignant love story, and the adulterous male who rushed to the crown and became angry. In fact, compared with many Qing Dynasty officials, Wu Sangui's background is very complicated. Wu Sangui was born in the Ming Dynasty, and strictly speaking, he was actually a Ming Dynasty man.
In addition to the Qing Dynasty, Li Zicheng, the king of the Ming Dynasty, was also a strong energy in it, and Wu Sangui acted very opportunistically, and after the foundation of the Ming Dynasty had just begun to slacken off, he switched to the hands of Li Zicheng, the king of the Ming Dynasty.
But in fact, in the depths of Wu Sangui's soul, he is still a person with desires, and he is not willing to bend under the hands of others to seek perfection, all of which is just his temporary strategy. Li Zicheng was proud and complacent, and he did not have any culture and art, although he led the army, he could not manage the world, which quickly aroused the resistance of the common people.
The Qing Forces also attacked at this time, and Wu Sangui moderately found a way back for himself, and in coordination with the Qing Forces, defeated Li Zicheng, the King of Chuang. However, in the ancient society that paid attention to the weight of love, Wu Sangui also had a lot of scolding on his body due to several times of rebellion, resulting in mixed reviews of him by posterity.
After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Wu Sangui did not sincerely serve the laws of the Qing Dynasty, but has been secretly gathering the old party of the Ming Dynasty, deeply rooted in its own forces, and if it wants to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, it will not take long to rebel, and the public will oppose the Qing Dynasty.
In fact, Wu Sangui's own work ability was sufficient, but it was some time rush that caused him to not be able to duel with the powerful powers of the Qing Dynasty. Wu Sangui died not long after the unsuccessful peasant uprising.
After Wu Sangui's death, morale was in turmoil, and the forces he had painstakingly built up in yunnan province were quickly conquered by others, and Chen Yuanyuan, who had been following him, did not know the end.
Regarding chen yuanyuan's results, the people have talked about it, and there is a version number that after the Qing army attacked Beijing, Chen Yuanyuan's beauty was coveted by others so that he would not be insulted by others, so he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, but this kind of name did not look for direct evidence to establish.
As the woman Wu Sangui loves most deeply, many people want to firmly believe that Wu Sangui will find a way back for her when she sees her dilemma.
Wu Sangui died on October 2, 1678, but Chen Yuanyuan's whereabouts were only found in 2010, with a gap of 332 years, and a tomb from the Ming and Qing dynasties was excavated in the Guizhou area, and authoritative experts found after careful consideration and comparison that this may be the tomb of Chen Yuanyuan, one of the famous eight prostitutes of Qinhuai. Everyone also wants to firmly believe in this result, Wu Sangui has always wanted to keep Chen Yuanyuan when she understands that her qi number has been exhausted, so she has found a good development direction for her. When the Qing army fought, chen yuanyuan was not found.
