How did Wu Sangui die in history?
In the history of the replacement of Ming and Qing Dynasties, there is a key figure who has to be mentioned, that is, a generation of lean Wu Sangui. The world has different opinions about him. Some people think that he led the Qing soldiers into the customs and ruined the Ming regime, but he is a traitor. Some people think that it was wise for him to be forced to settle down for self-protection under the severe situation at that time, and he worshipped because of his great wisdom. So, how did Wu Sangui, who played a role in reversing Gan Kun in the long river of history, die?
In the seventeenth year of Kangxi, Wu Sangui was at loggerheads with the Qing army. Perhaps because of his advanced age, he became emperor in Hengzhou (now Hengyang City) in 1678, with the title of Big Week. Unexpectedly, in August of the same year, he died suddenly after only five months as emperor in Wu Sangui. How did Wu Sangui die? It is nothing more than the natural law of being old and sick, but at the same time, for Wu Sangui, whose energy is not as good as before, the pressure is enormous and the sorrow is deep. In addition, his wife, Queen Zhang, suffered greatly both physically and mentally. There is also a saying that Wu Sangui died of a stroke.
In his early years, he followed his father Wu Xiang and his uncle Zu Taishou in the battlefield. He has seen big scenes at a young age and has great ambitions. Later, in the face of the precarious Ming Dynasty and the fierce Qing army, Wu Sangui finally entered the customs in the name of traitors, which still had far-reaching considerations. Later, he defended Yunnan and Guizhou, rebelled, and even proclaimed himself emperor in Hengzhou ... Every stage was thrilling and ups and downs. It is said that four years after Wu Sangui's death, Emperor Kangxi ordered his bones to be distributed to all provinces and regions to vent his hatred. This is another story. No matter how Wu Sangui died, his legendary life and his great influence in the historical process of China have been studied by later generations. Was it a success or a failure? Presumably, each has its own observation.
Character Wu Sangui Zufen Feng Shui
Majia Village, located in Qingong County, Guizhou Province, is an extremely remote mountain village. Because the terrain in Yunnan-Guizhou area is extremely steep and rugged, little known, and the communication between a few local residents and the outside world is extremely closed. However, in 1980s, archaeologists discovered Wu Sangui's tomb here, and this nameless place became famous at once.
With the discovery of Wu Sangui's tomb, the mystery of Majia Village was gradually uncovered, and people were fascinated by it. In August of 20 10, Wu Yongpeng, a descendant of the Wu family, accidentally discovered another grave near the ancestral grave. The shape of the tombstone is completely different from other ancestral graves. Some inscriptions, roughly the words "by the emperor", can be seen clearly. Most of the other inscriptions are vague and illegible, and the old people in the clan don't know the origin of this tomb, so the information of this tomb has become the top secret of the family.
No matter who is in the tomb, the Wu family regards this tomb as their ancestor, and will come to visit the grave to worship during the Qingming Festival. The news spread like wildfire, and the relevant departments sent people to make field trips. The layout of this tomb is the same as the usual cemetery, facing south. The monument left is divided into three parts: the monument cap, the monument surface and the clamp rod. However, the surface of the tablet has been severely weathered by the wind, with traces of fracture, and most of the inscriptions have been difficult to verify. The cap of the tablet is turned over and the clamp rod is crooked.
Archaeologists reconstructed the incomplete inscription by professional means. After careful analysis, it can be proved that the inscription on it is: eighty-five-year-old, Wu Gong named Fu Shuo's tomb. According to relevant literature research, it can be concluded that the owner of this tomb is Wu Sangui.
The discovery and textual research of this tomb is of great historical significance for filling the historical gap in the Qing Dynasty.
Wu Sangui's ancestral home.
Wu Sangui was born in Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty. My ancestral home is in Gaoyou, Jiangnan, and now I live in Gaoyou, Jiangsu. His father Wu Xiang is the commander-in-chief of Jinzhou. During the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui was armed to the teeth and served as the company commander of Liaodong, guarding Shanhaiguan. Wu Sangui is very talented in martial arts. Emperor Chongzhen began to take exams when he first ascended the throne, and Wu Sangui was the top scholar in martial arts. Later, he followed in his father's footsteps and served as commander-in-chief.
Wu Sangui's father is Wu Xiang, the company commander of Liaodong. In March of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the Li Zicheng Uprising invaded Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in Jingshan. Wu Xiang was captured by Dashun Army in Li Zicheng. After Li Zicheng captured Beijing, he wanted to win over Wu Sangui, so he imprisoned his father Wu Xiang. 1644, Li Zicheng broke with Wu Sangui completely, beheaded his father Wu Xiang and Yu Yongping, and hung his head on a high pole. After returning to Beijing, he killed all 38 members of the Wu family. After Wu Xiang's death, he was posthumously named Duke of Liao.
In the first year of Kangxi, Wu Sangui pursued the remnants of the Ming Dynasty. In Myanmar, he forced the king of Myanmar to hand over the Nanming Emperor Li Yong and killed him. Wu Sangui made meritorious service in eliminating the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, so he was named King of the Day, and tied for San Francisco with Geng, King of Jingnan, Fujian, and Shang Kexi, King of Pingnan, Guangdong.
In the twelfth year of Kangxi, the imperial court ordered the withdrawal of the vassal, and a tug-of-war between the vassal king and the imperial court officially began. Wu Sangui confronted the imperial court for five years, and his troops and materials were exhausted. At the beginning of the war, Wu Sangui was over sixty years old, and he was still able to gallop on the battlefield and shoot arrows on horseback. But five years later, he worked hard day after day, and the old man's health soon became unbearable.
In the seventeenth year of Kangxi, when Wu Sangui was lonely, he became the emperor willfully and died in Hengyang in the autumn of the same year.
