"Mourning all the six armies, rushing to the crown and being angry is beautiful" comes from a seven-character song by Wu, a poet in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.
The whole army cried and put on white mourning clothes, but did not know that the general was angry for beauty.
It's about Wu Sangui attacking Li Zicheng for his wife Chen Yuanyuan.
1644, in the first month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng, the king of Zhuang, formally established the Dashun regime in Chang 'an, with the title of Yongchang. Later, he led a great army to cross the river and crusade eastward, killing Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
At the beginning of March, Li Zicheng arrived at the gate of Fu Xuan (Xuanhua, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province), and the capital was in danger. In desperation, Chongzhen named Wu Sangui Pingxibo and ordered him to give up the checkpoint and enter the customs. At this time, Wu Sangui was the company commander of Liaodong, stationed in Shanhaiguan.
Wu Sangui received orders from him to send troops into the customs. When he arrived in Feng Run, Hebei Province (now Tangshan City, Hebei Province) not far from Shanhaiguan, he heard the bad news, the capital fell, and Chongzhen hanged himself, so he led his troops back to Shanhaiguan.
In early April, Wu Sangui personally led his men to meet the new emperor Li Zicheng. But on the way, I heard that Dashun army arrested a large number of senior officials in Beijing, and their father Wu Xiang was among them. What excites him even more is that his beloved concubine Chen Yuanyuan has also been robbed.
According to legend, Wu Sangui flew into a rage at that time and snapped, "A gentleman doesn't care about women, so how can he meet people?" Then he returned to Shanhaiguan for the second time, surrendered and rebelled, and staged a unique scene of "rushing to the crown and being angry as a beauty", which made great contributions to the Qing court's determination of the Central Plains.
Extended data:
YuanYuanQu is considered as the ninth year of Shunzhi before Wu became an official (1652). Chen Yuanyuan once entered the palace, and later received income from Tian Hong, the father of Emperor Chongzhen Tian Guifei, and gave it to Liaodong company commanders and Pingxibo Wu Sangui as his concubine.
Li Zicheng peasant rebels occupied Peking and Chen Yuanyuan was captured. Out of personal hatred, Wu Sangui led the Qing soldiers into the customs, counterattacked Beijing and retaken Chen Yuanyuan. Wu is the second book in Ming Dynasty, edited by imperial academy. He hated Wu Sangui for inviting wolves into the room, so he wrote Yuan Yuan Qu, satirizing Wu Sangui.
This poem reflects a series of important historical events in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties through the reunion and separation of Chen Yuanyuan and Wu Sangui, a famous prostitute in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and gently condemns Wu Sangui's treason.
The whole poem skillfully links Wu Sangui and Chen Yuanyuan with Five Blessingg's Cha Wang and Shi, and at the same time uses many historical allusions into the poem, so that the whole poem is shrouded with a strong sense of history.
