Wu Sangui rebelled and failed, and the result was sad, and he was beheaded by the door, but only one person was missed, the second eldest of the Wu family, named Wu Yingqi.
Wu Sangui is also a well-known figure in history, he guarded the Liaodong area at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and was a famous general. Unfortunately, when Daming was about to perish, Li Zicheng's generals took his concubine Chen Yuanyuan and introduced the Qing army into the Kwantung.
After that, Wu Sangui, together with the Qing soldiers, defeated Li Zicheng, reached Sichuan in Hanzhong, pacified Yunnan, the nobility, and Guangxi, and made great achievements for the establishment of the Manchu Qing.
Wu Sangui killed the Yongli Emperor, hastened the demise of the Ming Dynasty, and was greatly rewarded by the Manchu Qing government, and was promoted to the title of King of Xiping.
Wu Sangui's strength is quite strong, most of Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, and Hunan belong to his territory, and he also has hundreds of thousands of troops, he is equivalent to a tu emperor, dominating one side.
After all, Wu Sangui was a Han Chinese, so Kangxi took the action of cutting the domain, and Wu Sangui was naturally dissatisfied, and he worked hard to get to this point, how could he sit still.
Therefore, Wu Sangui joined forces with the king of the clan to rebel, and under the banner of "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty", he called on the common people to join in, and his practice was exactly in response to the minds of the common people, and many ordinary people of the former Ming Dynasty joined in.
Wu Sangui's army was huge, and all the way it was like a bamboo, defeating the Qing army one by one, and capturing it all the way to the edge of the Yangtze River, where he occupied half of the country, and Wu Sangui's victory was imminent.
However, Wu Sangui was anxious to become emperor and stopped going north, so he proclaimed himself emperor on the spot, with the national name "Great Zhou". As it happened, Wu Sangui's original form was revealed, and the Remnants of the Ming Dynasty who followed him saw his true face and left him.
It is very accurate to describe Wu Sangui at this time as "the one who has lost the way and the widow", and after that, the failure was arrested, and the whole family of one hundred and ten people, young and old, went to the guillotine.
Wu Sangui's two sons were named Wu Yingxiong and Wu Yingqi. Wu Yingxiong married Princess Jianning, the daughter of Emperor Taiji, and settled in Beijing, where Wu Yingxiong had two sons: Wu Shilin and Wu Shipan, and both Wu Yingxiong and Wu Shilin were executed by Kangxi.
Wu Shipan was secretly sent out of Beijing, and he succeeded to the throne after Wu Sangui died of illness at the age of 16. After Wu Sangui's death, the army was scattered, the combat effectiveness was weakened, and it was no longer the opponent of the Qing army, and it was repeatedly defeated.
Wu Shipan was too young at the time, his father-in-law Guo Zhuangtu firmly controlled him, and different gangs appeared within Great Zhou, fighting openly and secretly, falling apart, killing each other, and completely losing the strength of Great Zhou.
The Kangxi Emperor continued to strengthen his offensive, Guo Zhuangtu's troops were distracted and considering surrender, and several generals prepared to launch a mutiny, wanting to arrest Wu Shipan and Guo Zhuangtu as gifts to the Qing army.
At this time, Wu Shipan knew that the end was coming, put on the dragon robe, ascended to the main hall, raised a large knife, cut her throat and committed suicide, and the empress hanged herself. Because Wu Shipan was still young, he left no heirs.
Kangxi showed no mercy to the descendants of Wu Sangui who could be found, and all were beheaded, including the descendants of Wu Sangui's brothers and nephews, and more than a hundred victims were killed.
For Wu Sangui's descendants, others have recorded, only his second son Wu Yingqi has no whereabouts.
It was not until Chen Yuanyuan's grave was discovered that Wu Yingqi's whereabouts were uncovered.
There are more than 1,000 people in Majiazhai in Cenggong County, all of whom are surnamed Wu, although in China's rural areas are all linked by blood, it is not uncommon for so many people to have only one surname.
It is said that Wu Yingqi lost the battle for the throne that year, and in order to preserve the Wu bloodline, he took Chen Yuanyuan and the Ma Bao family loyal to the Wu family to Cengong County, Guizhou. Since then, he changed his name to Wu Qihua, escaped the pursuit of the Manchu Qing, and lived in seclusion on the spot.
When Wu Yingqi first came here, it was a primeval forest, and he led people to work hard to open up, and finally had a place to stop. Although life was very hard, there were still people in the Wu family who survived.
The Wu family that came to Cen Gong County was no longer the original prominent family, and the Ma family was no longer the original servants. The Wu family and the Ma family intermarried with each other, continued to have heirs, and slowly grew to more than 1,000 people now.
Moreover, the two sons, Wu Shilong and Wu Shijie, are also of the Shizi generation, which is consistent with the grandchildren of Wu Sangui, which can also be used as one of the bases for the Majia villagers to be wu Sangui's descendants.
At present, more than a thousand people of the Wu family still live in Majia Village, but it is no longer the original desolate place. Because of the tomb of Chen Yuanyuan, thousands of tourists visit every year, and the tourism industry has developed quite well, which has also led to the local economic development.
It was still the Wu family that was highly skilled, and hundreds of years later, the Wu family actually prospered again, which Kangxi could never have imagined at the beginning.
