During the Qing Dynasty, why did Wu Sangui oppose the Qing Dynasty and honestly wait for "raising the heavens"?

The reason why Wu Sangui opposed the Qing was, in a sense, that Kangxi was young and immature, so that he forced Wu Sangui to rebel. A very important reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty is that a large number of Ming Dynasty generals surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Taking Wu Sangui as an example, he first released the Qing army into the pass, then followed Azig to pursue Li Zicheng, conquered more than thirty cities, and finally destroyed Li Zicheng's troops. Later, he helped the Qing army fight all the way to Yunnan, and even personally killed the Yongli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty gave Wu Sangui a fairly high status. In the sixteenth year of Shunzhi, the country's field tax totaled 25.8 million taels, while Wu Sangui's military salary in Yunnan was as high as more than 9 million taels of silver.

At this time, Wu Sangui was actually the Tu Emperor of Yunnan, and the large and small officials of Yungui obeyed Wu Sangui's orders, and even had the saying that "the officials of the Western Election were half the world". At that time, most of the military generals of Yun, Gui, Sichuan, and Qian were selected by Wu Sangui. The officials selected by Wu Sangui could only be resigned to them by the imperial court.

Of course, Wu Sangui, these Ming Dynasty generals, did this, and naturally had their reasons. They betrayed the Ming Dynasty and helped the Qing Dynasty fight the world, and they definitely wanted to split the land and become a land emperor. Of course, in the early days, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty also promised this. When Dorgon summoned Wu Sangui, he said: "If bobo leads the people to return, he will be sealed with his homeland and become the king of the domain, one will be repaid with national revenge, one can be protected, and the descendants of the world will enjoy wealth and wealth for a long time, such as the eternal glory of rivers and mountains."

Who knew that Kangxi did not recognize the account and wanted to cut the domain, in this case, Wu Sangui could only do the opposite. In fact, judging from the experience of Wu Sangui and these people, they are just coveting glory and wealth. What Wu Sangui wanted was for his descendants to be emperors in Yunnan, just like the Mu family of the Ming Dynasty. It's just that he didn't expect to struggle for most of his life, even at the expense of killing the Yongli Emperor, and still being betrayed by the Qing Dynasty.

You must know that when Kangxi cut the domain, Wu Sangui and his men had been in Yunnan for 10 years, and how many people had their interests in it. At this time, Wu Sangui was really old and could not live for a few years. If it weren't for being forced into no way, no one would have rebelled at this time.

Of course, from Kangxi's point of view, the privilege given to Wu Sangui in the early stage was to allow him to fight for himself. Now that his own world was secure, there was no need to keep the Tu Emperor to threaten the imperial court.

The Kangxi Emperor overestimated his own abilities, and immediately put the world in chaos. At this time, the situation in the Qing Dynasty was actually precarious. Although Wu Sangui's character was poor, his military ability was still very strong.

It's just that Kangxi had better luck, and Wu Sangui was older and died. At the critical juncture of the war, wu Sangui was lost as a powerful figure, and the outcome of the war fell to the Qing court.
