In the critical moment of "Yangling", Wu Sangui saved his father by riding alone and defeated more than 10,000 Qing soldiers.

Wu Sangui, a native of Gaoyou, Jiangsu Province, is the commander of Chongzhen Ningyuan Company and guards Shanhaiguan. In 1644, he was demoted to the rank of king of the time. Later, he proclaimed himself emperor in Hengzhou, granted the title of Dazhou, and founded Zhaowu. As a famous military and political figure in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, his mother was the sister of Zu Dashou, a famous general in the Ming Dynasty. Wang Jingwei, chairman of the Kuomintang, called him a tragic hero with good writing skills and high martial arts skills. He would rather be a true villain than a hypocrite.

In 1627, Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, and Wu Sangui single-handedly won the Wu imperial examination. This is how his political career began. Liaodong, where he lives, is a battlefield of fierce competition between the two sides! This gives him a great opportunity to showcase his talent! According to records in the "Historical Materials of the Ming and Qing Dynasties", Wu Sangui fought with his father since he was a child. Because of his achievements and fame, he was promoted quickly.

In the spring of 1630, Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui returned to their position in Ningyuan, Gucheng, intending to intercept Hou Jin's soldiers. It is said that on this day, Wu Sangui's father Wu Xiang led hundreds of people to go out to inquire about the enemy's situation, and suddenly encountered tens of thousands of Eight Banners troops. Seeing that there were few people, the Eight Banners bullied Wu Xiang into surrendering, so the Eight Banners adopted a strategy of encirclement rather than attack. At this time, Zu Dashou saw that the Houjin Eight Banners army was outnumbered and did not dare to go out of the city to rescue!

Seeing his father trapped, Wu Sangui was anxious to fight. Zu Dashou refused, so Wu Sangui took twenty DINKs and secretly left the city to save his father! After leaving the city, Wu Sangui mounted his horse with a sword, one on the left and one on the right. The remaining eighteen cavalry divided into two wings and bravely broke through the encirclement. The Eight Banners Army suddenly saw more than 20 people rushing towards the Ming Army and was at a loss. Wu Sangui shot the general of the Eighth Army with an arrow, and the general immediately fell off his horse! At this moment, Wu Sangui thought to himself, I must chop off his head and make a great contribution! Then he bent down from the horse, only to find that the general suddenly jumped up and stabbed Wu Sangui in the nose with a short knife!

At this time, Wu Sangui had ignored the blood on his face. At this moment, he picked up his sword and chopped off the general's head! Then, he joined forces with his father, Wu Xiangbing, and Wu Sangui led 20 poor people to break through and rescue his father back to the city!

More than 300 years have passed. Speaking of Wu Sangui, almost everyone only knows that he was raped, but his protagonist was rejected. This is influenced by many novels and stories and has become a misunderstanding. I have not studied Wu Sangui's life, but I have seen his rebellion in the Qing Dynasty, but I don't understand why he was overthrown. Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms was "the king of the world and the traitor in troubled times." I think Wu Sangui can also be called a traitor in troubled times!

The original intention of letting Wu Sangui's Qing army enter the pass was to eliminate the peasant army led by Li Zicheng, or to make both sides lose. Wu Sangui had no intention of surrender at the time, but the development of the situation later made him helpless, but his status as a patriotic hero should not be affected. After Wu Sangui was overthrown by the Qing Dynasty, scholars made a lot of satire on him, the most famous of which was Wu's "Yuanqu" in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. This is also the reason why people later said that he "loves beauty and blushes". And insulted and insulted Wu Sangui. In this regard, Wu wrote an article saying that he was "self-righteous" and later became a senior official in the Qing court.

Is Wu Sangui a traitor or a hero? History is always a hero, no matter whether it is successful or not, killing people and setting fire to gold belts, building bridges and roads, there are no remains.
