During the Kangxi period, Wu Sangui was forced to rebel against the Qing Dynasty.
The strategist surnamed Bai tried his best to persuade him to stop, but Wu Sangui did not comply, so he had to leave the book and leave:
"Bai Moujie is weak pudding, he is mistakenly promoted by the prince, and he is a scholar in the scene, and he should repay his kindness and advance and retreat with the prince, and share life and death...... However, the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, Shiqing 'does something and does not do something, knows what it can do and does it, and knows what it cannot do but does not do it'. Although Bai also knew that Kangxi had already put the prince in a deep torment and could not extricate himself, the prince had little choice in a difficult situation, and the anti-Qing rebellion was ready to be attacked, so he had to do it. Bai Mou couldn't agree to encourage the prince to rebel against the Celestial Empire at this moment, because it was clearly a road of no return, and it was a desperate road that would be unpopular if he took it early and died early; Bai knows very well that at this time, if he helps the prince to raise an army to rebel, he is obviously loyal to the Lord, but in fact, he will help the prince to stretch his neck and kill him as soon as possible, and those who do not know will not be guilty, and those who know will be heinous! The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, and the prince is just Wen Zhong, Wu Zixu, another copy of Bai Qi; At this point, Bai is already a useless wine bag and rice bag. It's not that Bai spared his life and didn't give up his body for the prince, because Bai was a weak scholar and had no power to tie the chicken, there were not many Bai under the prince's account, and there were not many Bai, but Bai's mother was the only son of Bai. Therefore, Bai Moujin could not plan for the prince to be loyal to the battle and kill the enemy, so he could only retreat and do his filial piety for the rest of his mother's life, in order to repay the grace of life and support. When the prince read Bai's message, Bai was already on his way back to his private house in the countryside of western Yunnan. If the prince can't believe Bai, he is afraid that the things he is planning will be leaked by Bai, or he will be angry that Bai will abandon the prince and flee from the battle, which will chill the prince's past kindness and be unforgivable...... The prince can repair the book and show it, and Bai will cut himself in a private house. If the prince allows Bai to live, and Bai is willing to pray for the prince in his lifetime! If the prince is in a desperate situation in the future and has nowhere else to go, then Bai's private house is the prince's backyard. Eleventh year of Kangxi. Bai Chongxian bowed his head in thanks. ”
"Alas!" After reading Bai Moushi's message, Wu Sangui sighed and said secretly: "Don't I know that I am already a trapped beast in Kangxi's cage, and the meat on my cage is dead, and if I don't do it, I will die. However, the trapped beast is still fighting, and I am a dignified prince of Pingxi, just go, if you stay here, you won't kill too many people in vain, and it will be useless. Wu believes: Even if people with foreign surnames sell me all over the world, you Bai Chongxian will not sell me. This kind of vision and mind, I Wu still have. ”
In the twelfth year of Kangxi (1673), the imperial court ordered the withdrawal of the feudal domain. Wu Sangui proclaimed himself the king of Zhou, the generalissimo of the world's land and water, and the general of Xingming's capture, and issued a proclamation, which triggered the "Rebellion of the Three Feudatories" in history.
In the seventeenth year of Kangxi (1678), Wu Sangui ascended the throne as the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty in Hengzhou (now Hengyang City), with the national name of the Great Zhou and the capital Hengyang. Jianyuan Zhaowu died of illness in Hengyang in the autumn of the same year. Posthumously for the Kaitian Dadao colleague Jiyuntong Wenshen Wugao Emperor. His grandson Wu Shifan supported him for three years before the Qing army broke through Kunming, and the rebellion of the three feudatories ended.
