The Ming Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty can be described as internal and external troubles, the Chongzhen period was even more chaotic, officials were rampant in corruption, Yuan Chonghuan was very loyal to Chongzhen but did not gain Chongzhen's trust. At this time, the only people who could be trusted by Chongzhen's side were Wu Sangui, so he issued a decree to let Wu Sangui enter Beijing to save the car, and as a result, Wu Sangui had just reached the halfway point, and Li Zicheng had already led his army to attack the city of Beijing, forcing Chongzhen to hang himself in coal mountains.
At this time, Wu Sangui was in a dilemma, with Li Zicheng's rebel army in front of him in Beijing, and the Qing army with Emperor Taiji behind him. At that time, both Li Zicheng and Huang Taiji wanted Wu Sangui to turn to him, and Wu Sangui chose to turn to Li Zicheng, but just when he was preparing to leave for Li Zicheng, he got such a message. Li Zicheng actually took over his wife Chen Yuanyuan, who was extremely important to Wu Sangui, and that was the person wu Sangui put in his heart. In doing so, Li Zicheng undoubtedly pushed Wu Sangui to the side of Emperor Taiji. Later, in the Battle of Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui won li Zicheng. It can be said that Chong Guan's anger is red, and he is even more self-proclaimed the King of Pingxi.
Later, when the Qing Dynasty was established, Wu Sangui could be regarded as a great contribution and was crowned king. But no matter what, as a ming dynasty general, the rulers at that time always had a certain wariness of him and always wanted to take away the power in his hands. Wu Sangui, as an old fritter, had already seen that Kangxi had such a mind, and the Qing court's decision to withdraw the Qing court completely angered Wu Sangui, so he set up another mountain to start his own anti-Qing plan. His anti-Qing army went all the way north, and in the early stage of the rebellion, Wu Sangui's army took the whole province of Guizhou and Hengzhou in Hunan, and the king of Jingnan in Fujian and the king of Pingnan in Guangdong responded one after another, and the situation of the war for a time was very favorable to Wu Sangui.
At this time, Kangxi had already sent troops to suppress it, and after eight years of war, it finally ended in the defeat of Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui knew that he could not save this life before the defeat of the army, so he let his son lead the whole family to flee to the mountains of Guizhou, and also let his concubine Chen Yuanyuan also go with them, which was the last blood line for the Wu clan.
The Wu clan that escaped, in obedience to Wu Sangui's original orders, lived in anonymity and lived silently in a small mountain village in Guizhou, and it was not until a few years ago that someone discovered that they were Wu Sangui's descendants and reported them. In nearly 200 years, the Wu family has bred eleven generations of descendants, when the experts arrived there, the eleventh generation of descendants Wu Yongpeng introduced the deeds of Wu Sangui, and took out the portrait of Chen Yuanyuan, and also told the expert that this is the first time that Chen Yuanyuan's portrait appeared in front of the world. After the proof of various items, their identity has also been recognized by experts, and they are the descendants of Wu Sangui.
