The three generals of the late Ming Dynasty Pillar State, that is, the three top beam generals. The Ming Dynasty did not have the title of Pillar State, but it had a general carrying a large beam, and the following three, the Chongzhen brothers wrongfully killed two, one led the Qing army into the pass, and the Ming Dynasty perished.
The Chongzhen brothers killed the pillar generals Xiong Tingbi (1569-1625) and Yuan Chonghuan. Xiong Tingbi is the imperial history, patrolling Liaodong. Because he was framed by Wei Zhongxian and others, Chongzhen's brother Emperor Tianqi killed him and passed on the nine sides. After Chongzhen ascended the throne, he was rehabilitated, but he also hurt the heart of the general. Yuan Chonghuan (1584-1630), the governor of Jiliao, defeated the Later Jin army many times, and also caused Nurhaci to die of serious injuries, and rushed to the aid of Beijing to protect the Daming Mountains. Chongzhen listened to the rumors, saying that he had treason against the enemy and put him to death, and the first rank was transmitted to the Nine Sides.
It was Wu Sangui (1612~1678) who led the Qing soldiers into the pass, he was the chief soldier shouNingyuan, after Li Zicheng attacked Beijing to take Chen Yuanyuan, he led the Qing soldiers into the pass to fight Li Zicheng, and as a result, the Ming Dynasty collapsed. If Wu Sangui did not bring Qing troops into the pass, even if Li Zicheng occupied Beijing, the Ming Dynasty could continue to rule in the south and perish not so quickly.
