It is an obvious fact in history that the rule of the Manchus remained unpopular until the time of Kangxi's pro-government. If it weren't for Wu Sangui's abandonment of the Ming Dynasty and his self-proclaimed "King of Zhou"; If it weren't for the fact that people were confined to the wild orthodoxy and treated Wu Sangui as a traitor to the Qing Dynasty from the perspective of the Han people; If it weren't for Wu Sangui's fatal mistakes one after another...... The rewriting of history is worth looking forward to.

Historically, Wu Sangui also saw the resentment and suspicion of the vast number of Han people towards foreign rulers, and when someone, a person with fame and strength, dared to take the lead, they would follow. Wu Sangui played the role that people hoped to appear, and he relied on his status and strength to raise his arms and shout, and the world responded. Wu Sangui and his advisers estimated this, so they dared to use Yunnan and Guizhou provinces as the foundation, launched a civil war against the Qing Dynasty, seized power from the Qing Dynasty, and were full of self-confidence.

In this sense, because Wu Sangui and his group had participated in the creation and construction of the Qing regime, they naturally became a member of the Qing ruling class and the ruling group that held power. The nature of the rebellion against the Qing Dynasty is more like the power struggle between two groups in the Qing ruling class, that is, the dominant faction with the Manchu aristocracy as the core, and the former Ming Dynasty who demoted the officials and gentry to the non-dominant faction, that is, the struggle between centralized power and local separatist forces.

The Qing court apparently underestimated the entire situation, and although they deployed troops in several strategic locations, they were precautionary, not expecting the strength of the Ming army to grow so quickly, and not expecting the sudden outbreak of popular resentment in the ruling area. By the time they realized that this was not a contest between the North and the South, or between the old and new regimes, but a counteroffensive 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 has fallen on Zhu Yongxing's shoulders, and the nature of the war has completely changed. And he did a better job than Wu Sangui. The rise of the Jedi set off a magnificent contest between the Han nation and the rulers of different nationalities.

Uprising, rebellion, anyway, surrender...... Those who participated in and responded to the Ming army were all Han Chinese without exception. Its main members or backbones are mostly the former Ming Dynasty generals, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Zheng Chenggong's remnants and the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty. The soldiers were also Han soldiers, and the local Han people were recruited to participate. They may have a secret connection with the Ming court, but many of them have no connection at all. It doesn't matter, as long as they don't like this new regime established by a foreign people.

In the face of great events in history, people -- people from all walks of life -- have different goals. Some people simply rose up to defend the fundamental interests of him and his group, and then changed their purpose. With the aim of supporting the victors, they launched an attack on the Qing Dynasty; Others, out of loyalty and ambition, want to take advantage of this opportunity to destroy the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty and rebuild the Ming Dynasty; There are also some people who have a family hatred that cannot be eliminated, and participate in this dispute in order to avenge their hatred, and so on. Their respective purposes are different. However, on the overall goal of exterminating the Qing Dynasty, they have unanimously reached the same goal.

So. Although Zhu Yongxing carried the banner of resistance against the Qing Dynasty and became a leader supported by the people, it was not his personal strength that could mobilize thousands of people to participate in this national war. His actions merely reflected the general revolt and demands of the Han people under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and were also a general outburst of dissatisfaction with the Qing regime.

When the city of Jinan was not breached by tunnel blasting and artillery bombardment, but by the Qing soldiers who opened the city gate; When the governor of Shandong, Zu Zepu, was rescued from the rope noose on the beam of the house by the soldiers in the palace. Then the five flowers were tied up and sent to the Ming army; When the capital commander Ledehong fled from Jinan in panic, he was killed by several hunters on the outskirts of Dezhou; When thousands of Cao Ding spontaneously helped the Ming army to uproot the wooden piles blocking the canal and salvage the sunken ships, the canal was dredged as quickly as possible; When the Qing army group in Jianghuai withdrew across the Yellow River and arrived in Yizhou, it was found that less than 20,000 of the more than 50,000 people remained. This national war is still going on. But the final outcome has been decided, and the rest is only a matter of time.

The Manchus underestimated the growth of the Ming army and the will of the people to resist, while the Ming clearly overestimated the enemy's combat power and the time it could sustain itself. The current situation of the war is no longer something that can be reversed by the victory of one or two battles, the people's hearts have changed, and the disintegration of a group of interests with different intentions is accelerating. The greater the people's hope, the stronger the resistance, and the more sufficient the motivation, the rebellion and rebellion in the Qing unified area continued to spread and develop with rapid momentum, and the rule of the Qing Dynasty was in danger.

"Wherever the field is encircled, the landlord is expelled when he arrives, and everything in the room is there. The family is ruined, the dead do not know how many, and the hungry and weeping are full of resentment......"

"It must be because the head of the family is too strict to govern, and it is difficult to get by, and the situation is extremely compelling. Those who flee from the Quartet, if they are seized, will lead to one or twenty families, or even fifty or sixty people. The house that was acquired was ruined and ruined; Wherever they pass, whether they do not have more than one meal or stay overnight, they will be investigated day by day, and they will implicate the neighbors of the place. The fugitives were also temporarily sent to prison, and they were feared that they would not come. The beetle jailer even led him to harm those who had a solid family, and grabbed goods and wealth in it. The fugitives are in prison, and the homebreakers don't know what they are. ”

"Wherever there are 300 miles inside and outside the capital, the heads of the Eight Banners and their slaves force the Han people in the villages of various prefectures and counties to surrender, especially the craftsmen of all kinds to surrender to the capital, so that the people are uneasy and only think of fleeing. As such, the Charging Law is the most harmful......"

"Yangzhou 10th, Jiading three slaughter, and Jiangyin slaughter, Kunshan slaughter, Jiaxing slaughter, Changshu slaughter, Suzhou slaughter, Haining slaughter, Guangzhou slaughter, Ganzhou slaughter, Xiangtan slaughter, Datong slaughter, Sichuan slaughter and so on. The killing situation is unbearable to see and tragic! This is not a beast and cannot do it, how dare you call yourself a human, and what shame can you claim to rule......"

In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart in the Forbidden City, the smell of lily incense in the gilded enamel tripod was strong, but it couldn't suppress the boredom and sorrow in Kangxi's heart. He read the accusations and denunciations from the south that he had collected, and impatiently asked people to withdraw all the incense from Dingzhong, but he still couldn't sit still, shook his hand and walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, stood under the Danqi and took a deep breath, as if to dispel the depression in his chest with this slightly fresh air.

With a lead-gray sky and clouds moving heavily and slowly southward, Kangxi looked up at the mysterious and fickle sky in silence.

After all, he is still a child now, and even if he has a royal education, he is not ruthless enough, and it is impossible not to be touched by the cruelty and tyranny of the Manchu government. Moreover, although the auxiliary minister is trying his best to cover it up, he can also see some of it, and he also understands the disadvantages of the form. (To be continued......)
