With the discovery of Wu Sangui's tomb, the mystery of Majia Village was gradually uncovered, and people were fascinated by it. In August of 20 10, Wu Yongpeng, a descendant of the Wu family, accidentally discovered another grave near the ancestral grave. The shape of the tombstone is completely different from other ancestral graves. Some inscriptions, roughly the words "by the emperor", can be seen clearly. Most of the other inscriptions are vague and illegible, and the old people in the clan don't know the origin of this tomb, so the information of this tomb has become the top secret of the family.
No matter who is in the tomb, the Wu family regards this tomb as their ancestor, and will come to visit the grave to worship during the Qingming Festival. The news spread like wildfire, and the relevant departments sent people to make field trips. The layout of this tomb is the same as the usual cemetery, facing south. The monument left is divided into three parts: the monument cap, the monument surface and the clamp rod. However, the surface of the tablet has been severely weathered by the wind, with traces of fracture, and most of the inscriptions have been difficult to verify. The cap of the tablet is turned over and the clamp rod is crooked.
Archaeologists reconstructed the incomplete inscription by professional means. After careful analysis, it can be proved that the inscription on it is: eighty-five-year-old, Wu Gong named Fu Shuo's tomb. According to relevant literature research, it can be concluded that the owner of this tomb is Wu Sangui.
The discovery and textual research of this tomb is of great historical significance for filling the historical gap in the Qing Dynasty.
Father Wu Sangui.
Wu Xiang, originally from Gaoyou, Jiangnan, now lives in Gaoyou, Jiangsu. During the Chongzhen period, he served as the command room, commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief of the Second Central Military Department. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, he was the company commander of Liaodong, subordinate to Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui's father.
In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Wu Xiang was ordered to go to the battle of Daling River, but he fled on the way to support, so that the Ming army was wiped out in the battle of Daling River. Its general Zu Dashou surrendered to the Qing army, and Song Chengzong stepped down. After Wu Xiang returned to the DPRK, he was jailed.
In March of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the Li Zicheng Uprising was huge, and it broke through Datong and became calm. Chongzhen re-enabled Wu Xiang as the prefect of Beijing camp. However, before he had a chance to show his talents, Li Zicheng had already entered Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in Jingshan. Wu Xiang was captured by Dashun Army in Li Zicheng.
Because Wu Sangui was armed to the teeth and was on his way to Beijing. Unexpectedly, Li Zicheng took the initiative and caught the Ming army off guard. After Li Zicheng captured Beijing, he wanted to win over Wu Sangui, so that the biggest hidden danger of the Ming Dynasty could be eliminated without a single soldier. So he imprisoned his father, Wu Xiang, and sent messengers to Shanhaiguan to reward Wu Sangui's army with 42,000 silver, even more for more than ten years. At the same time, Wu Xiang was coerced to persuade Wu Sangui to surrender.
But this series of moves to woo Wu Sangui is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire. In April of the same year, Wu Sangui defeated Li Zicheng together with the Qing generals Azig and blossoming, and Dourgen immediately wooed Wu Sangui, named him the king of the day, and appointed him to pursue Li Zicheng.
1644, Li Zicheng broke with Wu Sangui completely, beheaded his father Wu Xiang and Yu Yongping, and hung his head on a high pole. After returning to Beijing, he killed all 38 members of the Wu family. After Wu Xiang's death, he was posthumously named Duke of Liao.
Wu Sangui's uncle.
Wu Sangui's uncle, Zu Dashou, a military commander of the Ming Dynasty, could not escape the fate of the Qing Dynasty. In the first year of Chongzhen, Zu Dashou was promoted to the company commander of the vanguard army and stationed in Jinzhou. Later, he followed Yuan Chonghuan into the customs to guard the capital. Unexpectedly, Huang Taiji was afraid of Yuan Chonghuan and set up a double agent. Plus the suspicious Chongzhen imprisoned Yuan Chonghuan, and Zu Dashou was tired. Cold and angry, he led the troops to escape from Shanhaiguan overnight. Chongzhen had no choice but to order Yuan Chonghuan to write a letter and recall Zu Dashou, only then did he return to the Ming Dynasty.
In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Zu Dashou led the troops in the battle of Daling River and was besieged by the enemy. In desperation, he had to surrender to the Qing army. After the crisis was over, Zu Dashou lied that his wife and children were in Jinzhou and didn't know about their safety. While the imperial court still knew how to surrender, he wrote to lead the troops back to Jinzhou to help the Qing army win Jinzhou. Huang taiji let his guard down and let the tiger go. Zu Dashou returned to Jinzhou and arranged protection to defend Jinzhou against the Qing army. After that, Huang Taiji surrendered many times, but Zu Dashou refused.
In March of the 14th year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji once again encircled Jinzhou, and the Ming court sent Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui and other generals to support Jinzhou with a rate of 130,000 troops, stationed in Songshan, while the Qing army frequently tried its best to disturb the alert of the Ming army, and Huang Taiji personally led the troops to cut off its food and grass supply. The Ming army was in chaos, and the Qing army took it by surprise, and the whole army besieged Songshan. In February of the following year, after Hong Chengchou was captured and sent to Shengjing, Hong Chengchou was purged. In March of the same year, Jinzhou has been a turtle in a jar for a whole year, isolated, without food and grass, hungry and cold everywhere in the city, and the people are miserable. At the end of the road, Zu Dashou surrendered in Kaesong.
