Wu Sangui
Ming Chinese general
Years: 1612 - 1678
Wu Sangui (Chinese: pinyin: Wú Sānguì; Wade–Giles: Wu San-kuei; styled Changbai or Changbo; 1612 – October 2, 1678) was a Ming Chinese general who is instrumental in the succession of rule to the Qing Dynasty in 1644.
Considered by traditional scholars as a traitor to both the Ming and the Qing dynasties, Wu declared himself Emperor of China as ruler of the Zhou Dynasty in 1678, but his revolt was quelled by the Qing Kangxi Emperor.
