Why did Wu Sangui drive Li Zicheng to extermination

Since he is a Manchu person, he naturally has to obey the will of the regent, and it is not up to him to decide whether to kill or not. I think Wu Sangui is a very shrewd person in the eyes of modern people, he saw that Li Zicheng could not become a climate, so he surrendered to the Qing army, I think he still has the courage to "keep his name before and after his death", although many people still say that he is a traitor or something, even if he does not surrender at that time, thousands of Wu Sangui will stand up!! What's more, Chong Guan was angry and became red-faced, which is simply, I found that Qing Shi wrote a person as if he was a love saint, disgusting to death.

Because he has a sick brain, a purebred neurosis, and a big traitor (cheap).

In August of the fourth year of Chongzhen (1631), Wu Sangui was promoted to the chief military officer of Liaodong and guarded the Shanhaiguan. In history, Wu Sangui's department was "brave and courageous, and morale was boosted", and it was the last Qin cavalry unit with combat effectiveness in the late Ming Dynasty.

At the beginning of March of the 17th year of Chongzhen (1644), Li Zicheng broke Datong and Zhending, approaching Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen Feiyu crowned Wu Sangui as Pingxibo, and ordered him to abandon Ningyuan (now Xingcheng, Liaoning) and join the Weijing Division.

Wu Sangui was ordered to join the Beijing Division, but when he arrived in Fengrun, Hebei, the peasant rebel army led by Li Zicheng had already entered Beijing, Chongzhen was from Hanjing (Coal Mountain), Beijing fell, and Wu Sangui withdrew his troops to retreat to Shanhaiguan. After Li Zicheng recruited him to surrender many times, Wu Sangui hesitated again and again, and then because his concubine Chen Yuanyuan was plundered by Li Zicheng's generals, and his father was also detained "torture and plundering is very cool", and he was furious. Then he wrote to Dorgon, the prince of Qingrui, and asked the Qing soldiers to enter the customs to destroy the thieves.

When Li Zicheng heard of this, on 13 April, he sent more than 200,000 troops to lead a large army to Shanhaiguan to attack Wu Sangui. In the battle of Shanhaiguan on the 22nd, the Wu army was defeated, and Wu Sangui asked for help from the Qing regent Dolgon, and the Qing troops entered the customs.

Wu Sangui and the Qing army jointly defeated Li Zicheng in the Battle of One Stone, and was crowned King of Pingxi by the Qing Dynasty. Soon, Wu Sangui was the vanguard of the Qing army, pursued Li Zicheng, and wiped out the remnants of the Liukou in Shaanxi and other places, and destroyed the Sichuan warlord Zhang Xianzhong, ending the tyrannical power he had established in Sichuan.

The hatred of killing one's father, the hatred of losing one's country, and the hatred of taking one's wife. The first two were the guise for him to raise troops, and the latter one was the main reason.

A Chen Yuanyuan has countless grievances.

Dolgon of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

On April 21 of the first year of Shunzhi (1644), Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Shanhaiguan, fought a stone battle. By 22 April, Wu's army was gradually unable to withstand it.

Wu Sangui had no choice but to surrender to the regent of the Qing Dynasty, Dolgon, and the two joined forces to defeat Li Zicheng, whose main general, Liu Zongmin, was injured and ordered to retreat. On April 26, Li Zicheng fled back to Beijing, leaving only more than 30,000 people, and on April 29, Li Zicheng proclaimed himself emperor in Beijing, and angrily killed 34 members of Wu Sangui's family, and fled to Xi'an the next day.

In March of the second year of Shunzhi (1645), Li Zicheng's troops forced away Zuo Liangyu, a general of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and occupied Wuchang City.

However, the Dashun army was not fully prepared, and the Qing army suddenly attacked by land and water, and Li Zicheng hastily abandoned Wuchang and marched southeast. On May 17, the second year of Shunzhi (1645), he was mistakenly killed by villagers in Jiugong Mountain, Tongcheng County, Hubei.

<> "Li Zicheng is the leader of the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty, after the death of Gao Yingxiang, he called himself the king of Chuang, in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen at the end of the Ming Dynasty, in a stone near Shanhaiguan, Li Zicheng, Wu Sangui, and Dolgon had a big war in which Xinhuai affected the direction of history, in this battle, Li Zicheng was defeated, and thus lost the city that had just occupied a few days, and since then it has been in a slump, and it has been frank until it perished. Assuming that Wu Sangui does not join forces with the Qing and rejects Dolgon, will he be able to rule the world according to his wishes.

Li Zicheng will encounter the same problem as Chongzhen, fighting on both sides, and he is in a worse situation than Chongzhen, because Li Zicheng only had the territory of five and a half provinces at that time, including Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, and half of Huguang, among which Shandong and Hebei were still new territories that had just been occupied for a few days. Daming has two capitals and thirteen provinces, and he is less than half. There is no comparison in terms of financial resources, resources, and manpower, not to mention that the areas he occupies are all poor in the north caused by years of war.

These places alone could not compete with the Qing Dynasty and the south for a long time.

Second: Li Zicheng's behavior before and after entering Beijing was still in the nature of a thief, killing people on a large scale, using stolen property and materials to maintain operations, without production there would be no endless support, and the most important thing was to push all the gentry to the opposite side. Historically, when the Qing Dynasty went south, a large number of Jiangnan gentry surrendered to the Qing, but Li Zicheng may not be so easy to conquer the south, and the gentry are estimated to resist desperately.

Third: Li Zicheng has no long-term plan, which is related to the fact that he does not have the support of scholars, and in history, it was only after Li Yan and Liu Jinxing and others took refuge that Li Zicheng had the slogan to win people's hearts. Until he entered Beijing, there were only a few people around him, and he had no correct concept of how to govern at all, and he even had no understanding of the Qing outside the Great Wall.

Maybe the emperor will gradually learn and understand, but the Qing will enter the customs at any time, he is just facing the powerful Qing, there is no time for him to learn, the people in the north were robbed by the Qing in the Chongzhen Dynasty, if they were robbed like this in the Dashun Dynasty, what do the people think of the new Dashun Dynasty?

Fourth: Li Zicheng's rise in the later period is inseparable from the important role of the slogan, "ushering in the king does not pay grain" The slogan is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is also the reason why Li Zicheng can only grab money in the pocket of the original Ming Dynasty after entering Beijing, and cannot be taxed immediately.

Wu Sangui helped Li Zicheng to defend the Shanhaiguan, and the Qing Dynasty could not stay in the Central Plains for a long time, but the entry of the Chongzhen Dynasty also came a few times, coupled with the hostility in the south, Li Zicheng estimated that he would be crazy, no money, and no support, whether the Dashun Dynasty could gain a firm foothold was a big problem, not to mention that the north and the south were enemies. The better result was that Li Zicheng gave up Shandong and Hebei, returned to Shaanxi to manage well, held Shanxi, and became a local overlord, which was also the request he made to Emperor Chongzhen when he went to Beijing, and Li Zicheng had no motivation and mind to unify the country at all. The worst result is that history is still history, he withdrew from Hebei, and the Qing still came in, gradually killing him and the south, and continuing to dominate the world.
