Supposedly, Wu Sangui had already made a fortune, had an official visit, and had a very comfortable life. How on earth should he clear up? How can you be defeated in a good situation? Now, let's take a look-
After Kangxi ascended the throne, he became more and more uneasy about Wang Yue, three heterosexual vassals in the Qing Dynasty. He is always worried that they will rise up and rebel one day. So in 1673, Kangxi finally gave the order to behead the princes. Wu Sangui and the other two C's looked at the imperial edict in their hands, which really didn't taste good, and they became more and more angry. They began to contact each other, ready to do something big. That year 1673.
The two princes of Guangdong and Fujian also responded on their own turf. Wu Sangui's military forces swept all the way, and successively captured Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, Sichuan and other places, while Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Shaanxi, Hubei, Henan and other places also had princes and anti-Qing generals to respond. At that time, half of the Qing Dynasty fell, and Wu Sangui had a bright future. If he continues to fight at this speed, I believe it won't be too much.
1678, Wu Sangui proclaimed himself emperor in Hengzhou. In the first week of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he established the Yuan Dynasty to show his martial arts and sealed all officials. Suddenly stopped, busy for four months. In order to reign as emperor, Wu Sangui just turned a good chess game into a bad one, which not only gave him time to fail, but also gave the Qing army the opportunity to assemble troops to counterattack. Soon, the Qing army organized 200,000 troops to come straight to Wu Sangui, and Wu Sangui was beaten back and died of depression. At this point, after eight years, the chaos in San Francisco finally subsided.
In fact, the reasons for Wu Sangui's final failure are nothing more than these two points:
First, when we started fighting, we took the slogan of "Anti-Qing Dynasty regains sight, Han family recovers the world", so many people in the world responded. However, after laying down half of the country, they were eager to be emperors, completely abandoned the previous banner, and actually raised their palms to hit the faces of those who supported them. It was really a stinking move.
Second, he proclaimed himself emperor in Hengzhou and stayed there for four months, trying to govern the great river together with the Qing court. This period of time gave Wu Sangui a failed thought. What kind of person is Kangxi? Besides, only half of the country was left, which was unacceptable to the Qing court, but Wu Sangui naively wanted to be the king of half of the country, which also led to the final elimination.
