In the long history of China, the Qing Dynasty, as the last feudal dynasty, was full of legends in its establishment and development. In the early days of the Qing Dynasty, one person's influence and choices had a profound impact on the direction of this emerging dynasty. This person is Wu Sangui. The truth about Wu Sangui's surrender to the Qing Dynasty
Although Wu Sangui's historical image is controversial, no one can deny his bravery and intelligence. Born on the free side, he stepped into officialdom with his outstanding military talent and the support of his family. During his tenure, he won the praise of many seniors and established great prestige for his outstanding military talents and leadership talents.
Wu Sangui initially took refuge in Li Zicheng, hoping to make meritorious contributions by his side. However, in the face of Li Zicheng's injustice and insults, Wu Sangui angrily left, recaptured Shanhaiguan, and took refuge in the Qing army. This decision changed his fate and laid the foundation for his later career.
After becoming a member of the Qing Dynasty, Wu Sangui did not rest on his laurels, but threw himself into various battles with unprecedented courage and determination. His military exploits were so great that he was soon promoted to the status of vassal king, and he monopolized power in Yunnan, becoming a veritable "emperor of the soil".
However, under the Qing system, the rise of Wu Sangui also caused jealousy and resentment among others. Despite his immortal exploits for the Qing Dynasty, he remained a Han general, and his position in the Manchu-dominated Qing regime was always in jeopardy.
After Emperor Kangxi ascended the throne, despite his young age, he was praised for his insight into national affairs and his decisiveness in dealing with problems. In the face of Wu Sangui's powerful forces, Emperor Kangxi did not dare to take it lightly. He employs a clever strategy to try to stabilize Wu Sangui, but also secretly looks for opportunities to weaken him.
Kangxi's decision to withdraw from the feudal domain did not go as he wished, but instead angered Wu Sangui and plunged him into a quagmire of anger and self-feeling. However, Wu Sangui is no longer the time he was young, and his ambitions have faded with age, replaced by a yearning for a stable life.
Although Wu Sangui once rebelled, his strength is no longer what it used to be. In the face of Emperor Kangxi's ingenious strategy and internal **, Wu Sangui's power gradually weakened, which eventually led to his defeat. After eight years of tug-of-war, the Kangxi Emperor successfully put down Wu Sangui's rebellion, laying a solid foundation for the stability and development of the Qing Dynasty. Wu Sangui's life is full of betrayal and loyalty, glory and frustration.
