In the depths of history, the incident of Wu Sangui's surrender to the Qing Dynasty has always been like a fog, making people unable to see its true appearance. It is rumored that he betrayed the Ming Dynasty and threw himself into the arms of the Qing Dynasty because he was angry with the crown. However, the truth is far more complicated than this legend, and the "sewage" that Emperor Kangxi poured on him may be just the tip of the iceberg.
Wu Sangui, the general who was powerful in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, held heavy troops and shocked the Quartet. His love with Chen Yuanyuan is even more popular. Chen Yuanyuan, the woman who is like a flower and jade, her tenderness and beauty made Wu Sangui find a moment of tranquility on the battlefield. However, when the giant wheel of history rolled forward, the iron cavalry of the Qing Dynasty broke through the defense line of Shanhaiguan, and the fall of the Ming Dynasty was a foregone conclusion.
At this time, Wu Sangui was faced with a difficult choice. He knew that continuing to resist would only lead to more bloodshed, and that surrendering to the Qing would save his men and territory. However, he was more worried about Chen Yuanyuan's safety. He was well aware that once he surrendered, Chen Yuanyuan could be insulted and hurt.
At this moment, Emperor Kangxi saw Wu Sangui's hesitation and scruples and decided to use rumors to break his will to resist. He sent people to spread the news that Wu Sangui had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty because Chen Yuanyuan had been captured by the Qing Dynasty and that he had betrayed the Ming Dynasty in order to be angry. This rumor quickly spread all over the world, making Wu Sangui infamy.
When Wu Sangui heard about this, he was furious. He understands that his choice is not just for a woman, but for the well-being of the world. However, Kangxi's rumors put him in trouble. He knew he could not sit idly by and that he had to take action to clear up this misconception.
As a result, Wu Sangui decided to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. He led his subordinates to submit to the Kangxi Emperor and became a member of the Qing Dynasty. However, in his heart, he could not let go of that misunderstood and slandered history. He knew that he would always carry this infamy and could not wash it away.
Emperor Kangxi welcomed Wu Sangui's surrender and gave him great honor and status. But Kangxi is well aware of Wu Sangui's inner contradictions and struggles, and he also understands that his methods of spreading rumors are not honorable. However, in order to consolidate his rule and stabilize the situation, he chose to leave this stain on Wu Sangui forever.
Over time, Wu Sangui gradually rose to prominence in the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty and became a pivotal figure. However, the guilt and regret in his heart could not be eliminated. He often recalls the bits and pieces with Chen Yuanyuan, and laments that he gave up love for the sake of the world.
And what about Chen Yuanyuan? She also followed Wu Sangui to the capital of the Qing Dynasty after his surrender. Although she was generously treated and respected, she never forgot the difficult years she spent with Wu Sangui in her heart. She silently supported Wu Sangui and accompanied him through many difficult moments.
However, what is the truth of history? Is the reason for Wu Sangui's surrender to the Qing Dynasty really to anger him? Or does it have a more profound historical background and complicated political considerations? These questions may never be answered definitely. But what we can be sure of is that the "sewage" that Emperor Kangxi poured on him is only a small part of the long river of history.
The incident of Wu Sangui's surrender to the Qing Dynasty is not only a simple historical event, but also a historical mystery full of controversy and speculation. It makes us think about the complex relationship between human nature, emotion and politics, and it also makes us deeply doubt the authenticity and credibility of history.
In this story, we see how a heroic general struggles and chooses in the torrent of history, and also sees how a woman silently pays between love and her family and country. Their stories may have been drowned in the dust of history, but their spirit and emotions have forever remained in our hearts.
So, back to our original question: Is Wu Sangui really angry at the crown and blushing? Or is it the sewage that Kangxi poured on him? Perhaps, the real answer is not important. What matters is whether we can learn from this history and think about how to keep a clear head and a firm belief in the face of a complex and complex world. At the same time, we should also be wary of those who deliberately distort history and create rumors for a certain purpose, so as not to be misled and lose the pursuit of the truth.
