Chapter 93 Section 3 "Bai Bai Tong Hou is the youngest"

Even after three hundred years of history, the light of Wu Sangui's life can still penetrate the cover of words and brighten our vision. This is a life full of passion, desire, talent, and energy. God has endowed this life with so many advantages, and it seems that it is not for it to die full of regrets. Wu Sangui can be called a handsome man.His ancestral home was in Gaoyou, Jiangsu, where the steamy apricot blossoms and spring rains filled the south of the Yangtze River, but Wu Sangui himself grew up in the windy and frosty Liaodong.The water vapor in the south of the Yangtze River and the long wind outside the Great Wall simultaneously blended into his temperament.Wu Sangui's appearance is both Beixiong Nanxiu.On the fair face, two bright eyebrows and a straight nose, fully aroused the heroic spirit of a man.What's more striking is that the calm and steady aura between the brows is like a deep pool of still water, shimmering and striking.

The text written three hundred years ago reads like this: Sangui's giant ears are long and accurate, without beards, looking forward and looking forward, with dignity like a god. General Yanling is beautiful and graceful, good at riding and shooting, his body is not very big but his courage is extremely powerful.Shen is resourceful and resourceful, and he admires himself for being romantic. Wu Sangui, who became famous at a young age, once stayed in Beijing briefly.In the circles of high society, with his legendary experience and handsome appearance, he almost caused a sensation.Famous officials, rich officials and even literati are proud to know him.His rough and elegant temperament fascinated Wu Meicun, a great poet who was famous in the capital, and left him with the sentence "the youngest is fair and fair".

From childhood, Wu Sangui showed distinctive qualities.Of course, he is also playful and mischievous as a child of Gaoliang, but in the martial arts field, he shows the self-discipline and hard-working spirit that ordinary children do not have.In the long, monotonous and arduous practice, Wu Sangui was extremely devoted and never lazy.Another outstanding quality is to be competitive and never admit defeat.Judging from the available data, Wu Sangui's nerve type is excellent, his IQ is high, his body coordination and response ability are first-class, and his talent is extremely outstanding.

Zu Dashou discovered the extraordinary quality of this nephew very early on, so he loved him very much, recruited famous teachers, and cultivated him carefully.He was only a teenager, but his riding and shooting skills were already outstanding, he often won first prize in the school field, and he was already well-known among the troops outside the pass. The only regret is that Wu Sangui is not very interested in reading.Wu Xiang, who wanted his son to become a dragon, spared no expense in raising his son. He once asked Wu Sangui to study under Dong Qichang's school, but Wu Sangui was really not in this way, so Wu Xiang had no choice but to let him go.Fortunately, the requirements for the cultural quality of generals were not high at that time, and martial arts riding and shooting were the main criteria for measuring the talents of generals.

However, outstanding martial arts and a legendary reputation for filial piety and bravery are not enough to explain Wu Sangui's dizzying pace of promotion.Wu Sangui's real excellence lies in his ability to deal with the world.He belongs to the sanguine type, has strong social coordination, and is good at perceiving other people's emotional reactions. No matter what the occasion, he can be calm and composed. On the battlefield, Wu Sangui's courage and composure earned him the respect of all soldiers; and in social occasions, Wu Sangui's calm demeanor made him always the center of the crowd.

Wu Sangui is very deep in the city, shrewd and quick-witted. Compared with his peers, he looks much more mature.At a young age, he has a reputation as a "good man with little money" in the circle of upper-level people outside the pass.Although he was young and came from a famous family, Wu Sangui didn't show any dandyism in him, and he always had a pleasant face, courteous, and never harsh words when interacting with anyone.Especially for those of lower status, he is equally amiable and frank, which makes people feel flattered. Wu Sangui is keen to make friends widely, and he always tries his best to get acquainted with others. When others encounter difficulties, he often takes the initiative to donate generously and spend a lot of money.Wu Sangui is even more good at clinging to those who are at a high position and his future is greatly hindered, and he often wins their favor by not showing off the mountains and not showing the water.

During the Tianqi period, the fledgling Wu Sangui recognized the powerful Gao Qiqian as his adoptive father.After the university scholar Fang Yizao inspected Liaodong, Wu Sangui and his son Fang Guangchen soon became sworn brothers.After Hong Chengchou managed Liaodong, he became close friends with Xie Sixin, Hong's confidant and staff.Therefore, all the previous border officials have favored Wu Sangui's family. If he doesn't make a fortune, who else can make a fortune? Behind his modesty and prudence, is his hidden strong desire.Deep down in his heart, Wu Sangui is an extremely conceited and proud person.His own outstanding qualities and continuous success made him extremely confident in his abilities. Wu Sangui knew that he was a person with strong desires, including the desire for fame and enjoyment.He will never let this life go for nothing, he wants to occupy a high position, enjoy a great name, and get the most beautiful woman in the world.He also wants to seal his wife and son, and honor his ancestors.

When reading "Book of the Later Han Dynasty Empress", Wu Sangui unconsciously threw the book and sighed: "'Officials should be the ruler of Jinwu, and wives should be the Yin Lihua' (Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiuyu), and Yu Yi's wish is enough!" Climbing, the value of life, personal desires, everything can be resolved.This is really a simple and beautiful picture of life. Wu Sangui, a warrior, may not think more about issues such as the ultimate meaning of life, nor experience postmodern pains such as the absurdity of existence.Wu Sangui immerses himself in his world with great interest. His pain and joy are both classical, heavy, and concentrated, with the nature of walking with his head buried and not looking up at the sky, so it also has a simple and moving meaning.

The purpose of his existence is very clear, that is to try his best to climb the huge mountain of the Ming Dynasty, and the rise in altitude means that happiness is approaching.However, when Wu Sangui climbed halfway up the mountain enthusiastically, he suddenly discovered that what he was stepping on turned out to be an iceberg, which was facing inevitable slow melting.Even when climbed to the highest point, the end result is still destruction, not the source of eternal happiness. After the battle of Ningjin, Wu Sangui, a warrior, heard the news of successive defeats of the officials and troops in the pass. At this moment, he experienced the absurdity of existence.Of course, Wu Sangui would not use this word to describe it.He just felt that the complete and solid world in his heart was broken, and the reputation, dignity, social achievement, life desire, and personal value were separated into two different halves.He has to make a choice.And any choice would be an unbearable cruelty to him.

An inescapable cruelty.
