Introduction: Wu Sangui, a traitor of the Ming Dynasty, was born in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty and was the son of Wu Xiang, the general of Jinzhou in the Ming Dynasty. Wu Sangui was also a hero haojie when he was young, and when he was less than 20 years old, he followed his father to fight against HouJin, fighting very bravely and making many achievements. However, he later became the first traitor and traitor in ancient China, which is really lamentable!

He is in a high position because of his merits
Later, he was promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan for his military merits, a position equivalent to the current commander of the military region, and was a high-ranking and powerful member of the Ming Dynasty. The army he led was also the most elite and effective iron horse of the Ming Dynasty, and he also made great achievements for the imperial court, which can be described as a mighty enemy!

Betrayed the Chongzhen Emperor
Later, there was a great peasant uprising, and the forces of Li Zicheng, the king of the chuang, quickly became stronger, and the military momentum was also broken. When Li Zicheng was about to attack Beijing, the Chongzhen Emperor repeatedly issued 100,000 urgent orders to return to his division to save the car. But Wu Sangui did not want to fight the rebels, he did not want to damage his own strength, so he adopted a wait-and-see attitude in order to weigh whether to continue to rely on the emperor or switch to the rebels. From this point of view, Wu Sangui is indeed a non-loyal opportunist.

Wu Sangui then let his troops deliberately and slowly march toward Beijing, stopping and walking along the way. When he traveled hundreds of miles to the Fengrun Belt in Hebei Province, he received news that Beijing had been attacked by the rebels and that the emperor's life and death were unknown. Therefore, Wu Sangui simply turned around and went back to his base area, Shanhaiguan. The emperor's life and death seemed to have nothing to do with him, and his realm of thought was rare in that era.

Attached to Li Zicheng for personal gain
As Wu Sangui expected, soon Li Zicheng's notice of invitation to join the company arrived. Naturally, Wu Sangui happily agreed to surrender to Li Zicheng, because all this was already planned, so he immediately set off for Beijing.
However, when Wu Sangui was halfway to the road, he met a domestic servant from Beijing and told him a very unfortunate news: his father was bullied by the rebels and his concubine had been invaded! Wu Sangui was furious and decided to immediately return to Shanhaiguan and announce to the world that he and Li Zicheng's Dashun government were incompatible!

For personal vendettas, he is willing to be a traitor to the nation
Li Zicheng was developing at that time, it can be said that the world returned to his heart, and he was about to create a great cause with ambition, but he was so anti-water by Wu Sangui, he naturally felt very faceless, so he personally led a large army to fight Against Wu Sangui. Since Li Zicheng was called the King of Chuang, naturally he was not vain, and he beat Wu Sangui to the ground and collapsed into an army!

After Wu Sangui's defeat, he was not reconciled, and in order to take revenge, he bent down to borrow troops from his old rival Dolgun of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and led a large number of Qing soldiers into the pass to attack Li Zicheng together. This time Wu Sangui succeeded, he beat Li Zicheng to a great defeat, and Li Zicheng disappeared.
According to Wu Sangui's previous plan, he would establish a Ming Dynasty imperial family in Beijing as a puppet emperor, and he would monopolize his power as "Taishang Emperor". However, Wu Sangui underestimated Dorgon's intelligence and ambition too much, and his small abacus had long been clearly seen by Dorgon, and did not give him any chance to sit big, but ordered him to immediately pursue the remnants of the rebel army. In this way, Wu Sangui was driven out of Beijing!
Be a traitor again
After the Qing Dynasty occupied the original, it became the owner of this land. In fact, the Qing Dynasty was quite good to Wu Sangui, and after winning the world, he did not forget his merits, so he let him guard Yungui and seal the King of Pingxi.
After the Kangxi Emperor ascended the throne, because Wu Sangui privately developed power and endangered the imperial court regime, he decided to withdraw his domain. Hearing that the imperial court was going to withdraw the domain, this made Wu Sangui's boss unhappy, so he decided to create a rebellion against the Qing Dynasty once again. But this time things did not go well, always failed, and finally Wu Sangui died of illness in Hengzhou, Hunan Province, in despair.
Wu Sangui, a person who did not pay attention to the principle of being a man all his life, did not pay attention to loyalty to his country and the emperor, and only had his own selfish interests in his eyes; in order to avenge his personal vengeance, he was willing to be a traitor and traitor of the nation, bringing great disasters to his fellow tribesmen, which was indeed extremely shameful; when he was a courtier of the Qing Dynasty, he secretly cultivated forces and wanted to turn against qing himself as emperor! Such a person who does not pay attention to righteousness and shame, but only tolerates speculation, is doomed to leave a lifetime of infamy.
