Supplementary information, Wu Sangui repeated the letter to the family for the first time

The first book on the 22nd day:

"I heard that the capital has been trapped, but I don't know if it is. The city has been surrounded, but I don't know how my family is. I hope I will take care of it. If I can move out of the city, it's great. If I move, I don't bring too much silver and bury it. I also pray that Gao Zhu, Chen's concubine, and my son are very strong, so I ask her to be patient."

The second book of the 22nd day:

"After the exile, he had to report that the King of Chuang brought 400,000 people to attack, and the capital was broken, so the force was really hard to bear. If you plan to retreat outside the pass, if you can no longer do anything, you will quickly inform us. The family members are trapped in the city, and their power can only be surrendered. I am very worried about whether Chen's concubine can do anything!"

Grizzly Panda Note: These two letters seem to be extremely frightened and messy, which looks normal. If I am Li Zicheng or Wu Sangui is not on the other side, I will think it is not difficult to recruit this person.

Twenty-five Days Book:

After twenty days of instructions, he knew that he had broken the city. If he wanted to protect his family, he had to surrender and achieve the right to make peace. Only then would he be a real man.

Grizzly Panda Note: On the 25th, Zuo Maode, Zhang Ruolin and Shunjun Acceptance Force appointed by Li Zicheng had met Wu Sangui. Seeing this book and Zuo Maode's report on Wu Sangui's surrender and handing over Shanhaiguan, he would definitely relax his attention to this place.

Book of Twenty-Seven Days:

The day before yesterday, he reported that Liu Zongmin had plundered Chen concubine and came to the camp with others, and dictated that the thieves plundered women first and then beheaded. Alas, he could not see him again. At first, his father miscalculated and broke into Shanhaiguan yesterday. Dahong won all the thieves and killed them all. He was stationed in the pass, and he had borrowed troops from the Qing Dynasty. He originally planned to go straight in, but was afraid that Chen concubine might have gone home, or Liu Zongmin knew that he was a concubine, and he did not rape and kill them, so he was surrendered. Once the troops advanced, he had no physiological consequences, so he reported to the news.

Grizzly Panda Note: On the 26th, Wu Sangui attacked the Shun Army that accepted Shanhaiguan. On the 27th, Wu Sangui still did not urge the banner of being irreconcilable with the Shun Army. On the 28th, the letter was sent back to Beijing along with Zuo Maode's report on Wu Sangui's rebellion. Li Zicheng thought that Wu Sangui was just a misunderstanding, because Chen was still under good protection at this time, so he sent Tang Tong's officers and soldiers and 40,000 silver coins to surrender Wu Sangui for the second time.

Next is Wu Sangui surrendered again in the peasant war in the late Ming Dynasty on April 2nd, rolled his armor into the court, and posted an Anmin notice along the way. On April 4th, he suddenly rebelled again in Shahe and returned to Shanhaiguan to sneak attack the Shun Army that had accepted Shanhaiguan for the second time. Wu Sangui and his father's letter were also after this, and he never wrote to his father again.

The Qing army left Shenyang on the 9th, crossed the Liao River and entered the Mongolian area, and followed the old roads that had been in the pass before entering Duoyan Mongolian area. On the 12th, Li Zicheng left Beijing and went to Tongzhou and Shunyi, and arrived in Miyun on the 16th. At this time, the Shun army was mainly aimed at the Miyun defender who bordered Duoyan Mongolia.

On the 15th, Wu Sangui sent people to contact Dorgon to contact the Qing army. On the same day, the Qing army began to turn and turned eastward from the outside of the Great Wall to point to Shanhaiguan. On the 16th, Li Zicheng discovered this situation after arriving in Miyun, Shun army also turned eastward from the inside of the Great Wall to point to Shanhaiguan. On the 17th, Wu Sangui sent an envoy to discuss peace with Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng believed that this was a delaying plan and refused to attack. On the 18th, Shun army captured the Wu army camp in Yongping, and fought outside on the 19th. On the 20th, Shun army began to attack Shanhaiguan, and the war broke out.
