What is the San Francisco Rebellion? This refers to the anti-Qing incident initiated by the three kings of the three feudal towns in the early Qing Dynasty, and san francisco is well known to refer to Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, shangkexi the king of Pingnan, and Geng Jingzhong, the king of Jingnan. In order to eliminate the remnants of the Shun Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty after the Qing army entered the customs, the Qing rulers used the Ming Dynasty's demoted officials to deal with some thorny problems with their strength.
Wu Sangui is a representative, and he is a very controversial figure in ancient Chinese history. When he was a teenager, Wu Sangui was tall and good at riding and shooting, and was famous for his filial piety in the township. Once, when his father Wu Xiang led five hundred soldiers out of the city to patrol, he was accidentally surrounded by tens of thousands of troops of Emperor Taiji, and the generals who guarded the city at that time refused to send troops to rescue him on the grounds that there were too many enemies, and Wu Sangui himself led more than twenty family members to rescue his father Zong Qing's army, which showed the courage and courage of Wu Sangui. However, Wu Sangui later surrendered to Dolgun, lured Qing troops into the pass, and later killed the Yongli Emperor with his own hands, and later Wu Sangui in Yunnan, Shang Kexi in Guangdong, geng Jingzhong in Fujian and other feudal kings had formed a great influence. Among them, Wu Sangui was the most powerful, not only was it a heavy burden on the central government economically, but also threatened the Qing regime, until the outbreak of the San Francisco Rebellion, Wu Sangui's behavior made many people think that he was "disloyal" to the Qing Dynasty, and Wu Sangui also became a traitor of the former dynasty from then on.
In fact, Wu Sangui is a person who does things directly, if the Ming Dynasty did not perish, he must be a filial piety loyal subject, but he caught up with the fall of the Ming Dynasty, in order to save his life, so he could only choose one between Li Zicheng and Dolgun, Wu Sangui's "chong guan and anger for red face" made him finally choose Dolgun and become a famous traitor in history. After the establishment of the Manchu Qing, Wu Sangui was not really loyal to the Qing Empire, he secretly accumulated his own strength, firmly controlled the Yunnan region, and even challenged the authority of Kangxi.
In the spring of 1673, the Kangxi Emperor saw Wu Sangui's performance, was very suspicious of Wu Sangui's personality, and also knew that Wu Sangui was not simply serving the Qing Dynasty, so he made the decision to withdraw the domain. When Wu Sangui learned of this, he first killed Zhu Guozhi, the governor of Yunnan, and proposed to "xingming to seek revenge", pointing the spearhead at the Qing Dynasty. Wu Sangui's army advanced from Yunnan and Guizhou to Hunan, occupying almost all of Hunan. In turn, sichuan was occupied, causing Sichuan officials to surrender. Throughout the country, there were Han palaces, Han soldiers, and ethnic minority elites who responded to the San Francisco Rebellion.
Wu Sangui sent troops quickly, and at once took Hunan and Jiangxi, plus the governors of Fujian and Guangdong responded to him, Wu Sangui held half of the Qing Empire in his hands, Wu Sangui was in the army for many years, he had more than 400,000 troops in an instant as soon as he revolted, but only 100,000 were directly under his orders, and the rest of the army was unstable, and they were not sure whether to follow Wu Sangui or continue to be loyal to the Kangxi Emperor. Wu Sangui laid out fortifications along the river in Hunan and did not dare to develop further north, so the Kangxi Emperor seized the opportunity to adjust his strategy and arrange troops. He first resolutely attacked Wu Sangui, but he appeased other rebels and isolated Wu Sangui by dividing forces. The Kangxi Emperor also took advantage of their mentality, sending people to slowly bribe Wu Sangui's troops, allowing the high-ranking official Houlu to make many of Wu Sangui's followers surrender, resulting in the originally powerful Wu Sangui army, and finally only he himself was left to fight alone. Militarily, hunan was only the focus of the attack, and at the same time he was able to fully trust the Han generals, which boosted the morale of the Qing army.
After Geng Jingzhong and Shang Zhixin returned to the Qing Dynasty, Wu Sangui did not submit to the imperial court but in 1678 Hengzhou was proclaimed emperor, with the name of "Zhou", Jianyuan Zhaowu, and the generals of the Great Seal. But in fact, at this time, Wu Sangui had reached the end of the road. After his death, he passed the position to his grandson Wu Shipan. Until the winter of 1681, when the Qing army entered the provincial capital of Yunnan and Guizhou, after Wu Shipan committed suicide, the 8-year San Fan Rebellion was quelled, which made the imperial rule more stable for the Qing Dynasty.
Zhang Maojijiu of the Qing Dynasty once had a poem commenting on Wu Sangui: "Li Ling's heart has been in the wind and dust for a long time, and he has been lying down for thirty years? Fu Chu failed to overthrow Chu first, so why did Emperor Qin die again. Dan Xin had already changed his red face, and Qingshi was difficult to forgive white hair. The sound of the eternal night should not sleep, and the Kansizi thought of kissing. This means that Wu Sangui did not know who to live for all his life, and after the previous qing dynasty, he used the banner of "anti-Qing and restoration of the Ming Dynasty", ironically, the Ming Dynasty was the destruction of Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui missed his son and missed his father in the middle of the night, in fact, how did his son die? It was you who rebelled and were killed by the Kangxi Emperor. How did my father die? Because you were killed by Li Zicheng. Therefore, it is really regrettable that this figure who once talked and laughed with the Shunzhi Emperor and Dolgun and pointed out the Jiangshan Sheji, in the end, betrayed the Qing Dynasty.
