Biography

He was reprimanded by the Ming court in the 1630s for failing to join the fight against Nurhaci.[1] The ruling forces of the short-lived Shun dynasty of late Imperial China took over his house. This contributed to the general's decision to oppose that regime, and hastened its downfall.[2] Wu Sangui was also driven to formally support the Qing dynasty forces over those of the Shun after Wu Xiang was executed by Li Zicheng.[3]
