Ji Lianhai Comments on Wu Sangui

About This Novel

This book is based on solid historical materials, combined with the turbulent background of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and provides an in-depth analysis of Wu Sangui's complicated life trajectory from a famous border guard general to surrendering to the Qing Dynasty and leading troops, and finally establishing himself as emperor. Through cross-comparison of historical materials such as memorials, letters, and archives from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the author carefully interprets the motivations and dilemmas behind Wu Sangui's every major decision, trying to break away from the narrative convention of "loyalty and traitor dualism" and restore a multi-faceted image struggling between power, family survival, and the tide of the times. The book not only reveals Wu Sangui's psychological game when he was guarding Shanhaiguan, but also shows the inevitability of Wu Sangui gradually falling into a political whirlpool after attracting Qing troops into the Shanhaiguan. It also provides an objective analysis of his ambivalent mentality of coexistence of ambition and helplessness during the "San Francisco Rebellion". Through this typical case, readers can not only get a glimpse of the difficult choices made by military generals at the crossroads of history during the revolution between the Ming and Qing dynasties, but also gain a deep understanding of the tragedy of the intertwining of personal destiny and changes in the country and the country in troubled times.
