An obvious fact in history is that the Manchu rule was still unpopular until Kangxi came to power. If Wu Sangui had not abandoned the Ming Dynasty and called himself "King of Zhou";
To deal with Wu Sangui's rebellion against the Qing Dynasty; if Wu Sangui hadn't made fatal mistakes one after another... the rewriting of history would be worth looking forward to.
Wu Sangui in history also saw the resentment and suspicion of the majority of Han people towards foreign rulers. When someone - a famous and powerful person dares to take the lead in taking action, they will follow suit. Wu Sangui played the role of people.
He relied on his status and strength to raise the voice of the character he hoped to appear, and the world responded. Wu Sangui and his advisers had estimated this, so they dared to use Yunnan and Guizhou provinces as their foundation to launch a civil war against the Qing Dynasty and attack the Qing Dynasty.
An important reason for seizing power and being full of confidence.
In this sense, because people like Wu Sangui have participated in the creation and construction of the Qing regime, they have naturally become members of the Qing ruling class and the ruling group that controls the power. The nature of rebellion against the Qing is more like that of the Qing ruling class.
The power struggle between the two groups, namely the dominant faction with the Manchu nobles as the core, and the non-dominant faction of the original Ming dynasty who were demoted from official posts to generals and gentry, is also a struggle between centralized power and local separatist forces.
The Qing court obviously underestimated the entire situation. Although they deployed troops at several strategic locations, they did so in a preventive manner. They never expected that the strength of the Ming army would grow so fast, and they never expected that the people's resentment in the ruled areas would suddenly rise.
When they realized that this was not a contest between the North and South regimes, or the old and new regimes, but a counterattack by a large and awakened nation against a foreign race, the balance of victory and defeat had tilted rapidly.
Now, the burden of rewriting history falls on Zhu Yongxing's shoulders, and the nature of the war has completely changed. And he did it better than Wu Sangui. The rise of Yu Jedi set off a magnificent conflict between the Han nationality and the rulers of different nationalities.
Big contest.
Uprising, rebellion, anyway, surrender... Those who participated in and responded to the Ming army were without exception Han Chinese. Most of its main members or backbone were the former Ming Dynasty generals, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Zheng Chenggong's remaining troops and the remaining Southern Ming troops. The soldiers were also
They are all Han troops and have recruited local Han people to participate. They may have secret connections with the Ming court, but many of them have no connection at all. It doesn't matter, as long as they don't like the new regime established by a foreign nation.
In the face of major events in history, people - people from all walks of life - have different purposes. Some people just fight to safeguard the fundamental interests of themselves and their groups, and then change their purpose to support the winner.
For this purpose, they launched an attack on the Qing Dynasty; others, out of loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to destroy the Qing Dynasty, restore the Ming Dynasty, and rebuild the Ming Dynasty; there were also some people who really had family hatred that could not be eliminated, and participated in this dispute to avenge their hatred.
, and so on. Their respective purposes are different. But on the overall goal of destroying the Qing Dynasty, they have unanimously reached consensus.
Therefore, although Zhu Yongxing took up the banner of resisting the Qing Dynasty and became a leader supported by people, it was not his personal power that could mobilize tens of thousands of people to participate in this national war. His actions only reflected
The general resistance and demands of the Han people under the rule of the Qing Dynasty were also the general outbreak of people's dissatisfaction with the Qing regime.
When the city of Jinan was not captured by tunnel blasting and artillery bombardment, but by the Qing soldiers who opened the city gate anyway; when Zu Zepu, the governor of Shandong Province, was rescued from the noose on the beam by soldiers in his mansion. Then he was tied up with five flowers and sent to the Ming army.
In front of us; when the capital commander Le Dehong fled Jinan in panic, but was killed by several hunters in the suburbs of Texas; when thousands of Caoding spontaneously helped the Ming army pull out the wooden piles blocking the canal and salvage the sunken ships, so that the canal could be opened
It was dredged as quickly as possible; when the Qing army group in Jianghuai withdrew across the Yellow River and arrived in Yizhou, they found that there were only less than 20,000 people left out of more than 50,000 people. Although the national war was still going on, the final outcome had been determined.
, the rest is just a matter of time.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty underestimated the growth of the Ming army's strength and the people's will to resist, and the Ming Dynasty obviously overestimated the enemy's combat power and the time it could last. The current war situation can no longer be reversed by the victory of one or two battles.
Things have changed, and the disintegration of an interest group with different agendas is accelerating. The greater people's hope, the stronger the resistance, and the more motivation. The riots and rebellions in the Qingtong area continued to spread and develop with rapid force. The rule of the Qing Dynasty
Danger abounds.

"Wherever the land is enclosed, the landowner immediately evicts him, and everything in the house belongs to him. There are countless people who have lost their families and their families, they are hungry and exhausted, and those who are crying to the sky and the earth are filled with resentment..."
"It must be because the head of the family has been punished too harshly, making it difficult to survive, and the situation has forced him to do so. If a person under his banner escapes from all directions, if he is captured, he will take ten or twenty families, or even fifty or sixty people. The captured family will be completely ruined.
The property has been ruined. Wherever it passes, it may not last more than a meal, or it may stop for a night. It must be investigated day by day, and the neighbors in the place will be implicated. The fugitives are also temporarily sent to prison, for fear that they will not come. The officials and jailers will guide them further.
Those who have harmed a well-to-do family have taken away goods and wealth. Those who have escaped have been imprisoned, while those who have ruined their families do not know how much they have lost."
"Everywhere within three hundred miles of the capital, the Eight Banners Zhuangtou and their servants forced the Han people in various states, counties and villages to surrender, especially craftsmen and craftsmen of all kinds who ordered them to surrender, which made the people uneasy and wanted to flee. Just like this, the surrender law
The most serious harm..."
"On the tenth day of the Yangzhou period, there were three massacres in Jiading, Jiangyin massacre, Kunshan massacre, Jiaxing massacre, Changshu massacre, Suzhou massacre, Haining massacre, Guangzhou massacre, Ganzhou massacre, Xiangtan massacre, and Datong massacre.
, the massacre in Sichuan, etc. The killing scenes are unbearable to be seen, and it is so cruel! This is not something that a beast can do, so how dare you call yourself a human being, and how can you have the face to rule by yourself..."
In the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart in the Forbidden City, the scent of lilies in the gilt and enamel cauldron was strong, but it could not suppress the boredom and melancholy in Kangxi's heart. He read the complaints and denounced propaganda collected from the south, and impatiently asked someone to put the cauldron in
The incense was all withdrawn, but he still couldn't sit still. He waved his hand and walked out of the Yangxin Hall. He stood under the Danqi and took a deep breath, as if he wanted to use this slightly fresh air to dispel the depression in his chest.
In the leaden sky, the clouds were heavy and slowly moving southward. Kangxi looked up at the mysterious and ever-changing sky and remained silent.
After all, he is still a child. Even with a royal education, he is not ruthless enough. It is impossible not to be touched when he reads about the cruelty and tyranny of the Manchu Qing government. Moreover, even though the assistant minister is trying his best to hide it, he can still see the memorial.
Some people are also aware of the unfavorable situation. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!
