What kind of historical environment does

have will create what kind of historical figures it will create, which complements each other.

Therefore, the more complex the historical environment, the more difficult the characters appear, the more difficult it is to understand. This is the case with Wu Sangui . In summary, there are still two major mysteries left in him to this day.

One: Why choose to surrender Dorgon ?

blames Wu Sangui for the demise of Ming Dynasty , which is the novelist's legend, and this should be clear. Therefore, the first mystery that Wu Sangui is incomprehensible is that after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he chose Dorgon in the face of the surrender of Li Zicheng and Dorgon.

Li Zicheng was very sincere and the conditions offered were very realistic. He asked someone to take Wu Sangui's father Wu Xiang 's handwritten letter, carrying tens of thousands of taels of silver, promising that once Wu Sangui surrendered, he would be granted the title of marquis—and father and son and !

Dorgon drew big cakes: " seals are used to make his hometown, and Jin is used to make his descendants rich and prosperous for generations. " Looking at this sentence, the old fried dough stick should understand at a glance. This is purely a big cake, and there is no honest sentence!

Furthermore, with Wu Sangui's identity as a Han Chinese, supplemented by Li Zicheng's real conditions, he should surrender to Dashun to make a reasonable decision. However, Wu Sangui chose Dorgon. Some people said: This is because Chen Yuanyuan and were occupied by Liu Zongmin, and Wu Sangui was angry and furious for the beauty.

If you believe it, there is nothing wrong with it. But I am afraid that Wu Sangui will be anxious - between my father and concubine, will I choose Chen Yuanyuan? It should be noted that Li Zicheng killed his father after he was convinced that Wu Sangui surrendered to Dorgon, not before - that is to say, Li Zicheng had been looking forward to Wu Sangui.

So I said that this is a mystery of Wu Sangui, and no one can explain it clearly. As for the author's opinion, it was because Dorgon painted a big cake that Wu Sangui chose him. Why? It’s very simple. Drawing a big pie is a “high-end technical job”, but everyone can do it with real benefits or benefits.

You can think about yourself. Whether in the unit or in the company, are you often obsessed with the "big pie" and ignore the "real profit"? People are in some ways connected. Just like Wu Sangui's unprovoked "successful love for beauty" is believed by people, it is a truth.

The second: Why did Wu Sangui insist on killing Nanming Yongli Emperor?

Ninth Ming Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang , they all fled to Myanmar at that time, and it was no threat at all. At the same time, the Qing court also expressed: Stop and stop, and have fought for so many years. Can’t you enjoy it? Even if you can't "continue playing music and dance", you should still manage the world well.

Wu Sangui refused to agree, and even wrote "The Qu Kui did not eliminate the three troubles and two difficulties". The general meaning is: Emperor Yongli will not be eliminated for a day, and , the Qing will not be peaceful for a day.

Wu Sangui's firm attitude made Hong Chengchou unable to understand. Because he once warned Wu Sangui: "If you want to be safe, don't let Yunnan have nothing to do for a day ." What it means is: Emperor Yongli must be kept so that you can stay in Yunnan with peace of mind and not do the stupid thing of "cracking with a rabbit and a dog"!

It was under Wu Sangui's firm attitude that the Qing court changed its mind. In the end, Wu Sangui captured Emperor Yongli alive and strangled to death with a bowstring... The last bit of Mars in the Ming Dynasty was completely extinguished.

Obviously, Wu Sangui's move took the initiative to do a stupid thing like "dead rabbit and dog cook". With Wu Sangui's IQ, he would not understand this truth, but why did he insist on doing the opposite? It is still a mystery, and there are many different opinions to this day.

There is an explanation that this is Wu Sangui's loyalty to the Qing court. It cannot be said that there is no reason, but most people will probably say: This is just a superficial phenomenon, not a real reason. Because Wu Sangui later rebelled against the Qing court - instead of believing that Wu Sangui is loyal, it is better to believe that Chen Yuanyuan is a strong woman.

There is another explanation: the Qing court said that he would stop and not chase Emperor Yongli, which means that it was time to reshuffle, and Wu Sangui should move.That's why Wu Sangui stopped him and used the killing of Emperor Yongli as a bargaining chip in exchange for his treatment of "Yongzhen Yunnan". The explanation of

is sharper and more reasonable than the first one, but it still cannot fully explain it. Because even so, it did not stop the later reduction of the vassal of Kangxi , which meant that Wu Sangui still wanted to move and force Wu Sangui to rebel. Therefore, this brings up a topic: If Wu Sangui had not killed Emperor Yongli, would Kangxi still reduce the vassal states?

The third sentence: Kangxi reveals

In the TV series " Kangxi Dynasty ", the reason why Kangxi reduced the vassal states can only be summed up in one sentence: The Qing Dynasty could not afford Wu Sangui.

So what about the facts? The same is true. At that time, the fiscal revenue of in the Qing Dynasty was less than 40 million taels of silver, but it cost 9 million to raise Wu Sangui. As the saying goes, the landlords' families did not have any surplus food, and it was necessary for Kangxi to reduce the vassal states. The only difference is whether Wu Sangui takes action when he is alive or when he is dead.

Obviously, Wu Sangui is the most secure to take action after his death. So why didn’t Kangxi wait for a few years? This is the so-called result of youthfulness.

Kangxi was not the founding king, and Qing Dynasty took advantage of the chaos of Li Zicheng's destruction of the Ming Dynasty and swept the world in one fell swoop. These reasons are caused. Kangxi has always believed that " Manchurian Armored Soldiers are the fundamental of the country." In other words, the Eight Banners are invincible in the world, and each of them can beat ten!

But Wu Sangui knew everything. He was an experienced person and knew even more that he was not "the Ming army or the rebel army was incompetent." So he put this kind of thinking on Kangxi: he thought Kangxi would also think so. So as long as I survived Shunzhi , I am still alive, you, Kangxi, would not dare to reduce the vassal states.

To put it more clearly: the thinking of people from different generations is tied! Kangxi could not have imagined that Wu Sangui really dared to rebel, but Wu Sangui didn't expect Kangxi to be so stunned.

As a result, the two sides fought and Kangxi was beaten to wake up. In the "Decisive Battle of Yong'an", the invincible Eight Banners in Kangxi's eyes was defeated. For example, from the first-rank official, Yilibu, the commander of the Manchurian Zhengbai Banner, the second-rank official, and the commander of the Manchurian Zhenglan Banner, Hakeshan, was killed in battle! A large number of Eight Banners generals were also killed...

This battle was shocking. Just when people thought that Wu Sangui would sweep the world, Wu Sangui was dead! This is a turning point!

Kangxi then recovered and wrote in his daily life notes: For eight years, the soldiers were exhausted and the people were trapped. Fortunately, God was blessed and the ancestors were blessed, and the traitors were then undone. If they were to last for several years, what would they do? (from " Kangxi Daily Notes ", 20th year of Kangxi, December)

means that fortunately Wu Sangui died. If he lived for a few more years, I wouldn't know what to do! From then on, Kangxi became mature and wrote : I feel that things are difficult, and I must carefully study the situation whenever I encounter things, and then discuss them in detail before making a decision.

However, Wu Sangui's rebellion also brought some unexpected good phenomena, that is, Kangxi ( Manchu ) has become polite to the Han people since then, and has restrained a lot...

But no matter what, the result afterwards is reversed: If Wu Sangui did not kill Emperor Yongli, Kangxi would still choose to reduce the vassal states without hesitation. It has little to do with whether Emperor Yongli is alive...
