But it was such a traitor in the Ming Dynasty and a hero in the Qing Dynasty who shouted the slogan of "enlighten Lu" and launched a mutiny when Kangxi ordered the withdrawal of the vassal in the twelfth year. As soon as his slogan started, anti-Qing organizations all over the country responded one by one. His anti-Qing uprising was also supported by many Han officials. The situation was out of control for Kangxi, and Wu Sangui took the opportunity to control Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou and Hunan.
At the beginning of the uprising, Wu Sangui's strength was less than 50,000, but in just a few months, it was expanded to 300,000. It is conceivable that his anti-Qing movement won much support and support. At the time of his greatest strength, he once controlled ten provincial fortresses in the south of Qing Dynasty.
When Wu Sangui was in power, there were only 100,000 Eight Banners in Qing Dynasty. With the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners were no longer the Eight Banners that overthrew the Ming Dynasty. They are all delicious, but they are timid and afraid of death. During the counter-insurgency, the Eight Banners often hid behind the Han army. In fact, the main force to quell the rebellion in Wu Sangui was the former Ming border guards headed by Zhang Yong and Zhao Liangdong.
Since Wu Sangui started his army, he has made a proud record, winning far more battles than losing. According to this trend, it should be said that overthrowing the Qing government is just around the corner. Even many royal nobles of the Qing government began to plan to escape. However, at this time, Wu Sangui was carried away by victory, made the stupidest decision in his life, and led to his own failure.
Wu Sangui's decision was to proclaim himself emperor in Hengchow, calling himself "Da Zhou". As soon as the news spread, officials of the old Ming Dynasty and Han Chinese were very shocked. Wu Sangui gained the upper hand in this uprising, because he launched an uprising with the slogan of "seeking the world in Luji", but his proclamation did not bring him good results. On the contrary, those who supported him knew his real intention and gradually began to lose heart.
At this time, Kangxi reorganized the army and fought back with all his strength. After several years of rehabilitation, Kunming, Yunnan Province was finally conquered at 168 1, and the San Francisco Rebellion ended. The days that followed also ushered in the prosperous stage of the Qing Dynasty.
