Wu Sangui is the son of Jinzhou commander Wu Xiang, who served as the Ming Liaodong commander, was named Pingxibo by the emperor of and Chongzhen. Chongzhen surrendered in the last year of the Qing Dynasty and lost in the battle of 2. It was later named Pingxi Wang.
Why is he a speculator? In the late Ming Dynasty, Nurhachi and Huangtaiji had been aggressively attacking Ming Dynasty , but due to the obstacles of Shanhaiguan (, the world's first male pass ), they failed to do so. After Shunzhi ascended the throne, the regent Dorgon watched every move of the Ming Dynasty even more.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, political corruption, the people did not live. Emperor Chongzhen was wearing clothes and eating, always thinking about revitalizing Daming. But he was pretentious and suspicious. Because of his suspicion, he ruined many loyal ministers and generals of Ming Dynasty. During his tenure, he changed more than a dozen prime ministers and killed Yuan Chonghuan by mistake. It can be said that Ming Dynasty has reached the point where the building is about to fall under his efforts. In 1644, Li Zicheng led the Dashun army to capture Beijing, and the Dashun regime was established shortly afterwards.
However, after Li Zicheng's Dashun Army entered the city, his footing was unstable, and his generals began to degenerate. The generals under his men occupied houses everywhere and robbed civilian girls.Among them, the beloved concubine of Ming Dynasty star Wu Sangui Chen Yuanyuan was also taken captive.
Wu Sangui was originally a speculator, Daming was about to fall. He was looking for backers everywhere. He was ambivalent with Li Zicheng, but he heard that his family and his beloved concubine. They were all taken away by the Dashun army, and they were very angry. Rising troops and Li Zicheng fought a battle, due to the huge gap between the strengths of the two sides, Wu Sangui was defeated and returned to Shanhaiguan. At this time, Wu Sangui made up his mind to join the Qing army, hoping to take advantage of the Qing forces to eliminate Li Zicheng. Dorgon was overjoyed when he learned about it, and thought that the time was right and he could finally realize his wish for many years. At this time, the internal war in the Central Plains was raging, and Li Zicheng was undecided. So Dorgon quickly joined Wu Sangui's troops and entered Shanhaiguan. It only took a few days to reach the capital. Li Zicheng ran away when he saw that something was wrong. After driving away Li Zicheng, Dorgon entered Beijing as he wished, and Wu Sangui was also made the King of Pingxi by the Qing Dynasty because of his merits.
