As the most wayward local tyrant in China's feudal history, Wu Sangui turned Yunnan into his own territory, and all military and political powers and financial expenditures were under his control. Later, he did not accept the annual audit of the court accounts, and spent a lot of money to build a palace for himself and draft beautiful women. What he did was exactly the same as the emperor of the Forbidden City in Beijing at that time, and even his extravagance far exceeded that of Emperor Kangxi today. Collecting all kinds of taxes in Yunnan every year and bringing the Qing army into the customs by our own contribution require all kinds of expenses, like the imperial court, among which military expenditure is the most prominent.

Wu Sangui's life can be described as a legendary existence. He is both a hated traitor and an enviable local tyrant. Here in Yunnan, he has fully realized territorial autonomy. Because he opened Shanhaiguan when he entered the Central Plains in the Qing Dynasty, the Qing government easily seized the Ming regime, put down the uprising and rebellion at that time, and won him supreme glory. After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, he was allowed to set up a local government office in Yunnan to take charge of Yunnan's military and political affairs.

Under his careful training, all important passes in Yunnan were guarded by his cronies; And slowly, it is no longer like the court to pay local taxes. What's more, even the people sent by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development to audit the accounts were driven away, turning Yunnan into their own back garden. After completing his autonomy, he began to build a palace for himself and an Anfu Garden for himself. Later, I began to choose beautiful women from all over Yunnan to entertain myself, and its specifications and standards were the same as those in the imperial draft. Tired of playing with local beautiful women in Yunnan, they also sent people to buy young girls from Jiangnan to have fun in Yunnan.

He acted so willfully because even the Emperor Kangxi was afraid of him at that time. Born as a soldier, he knows the importance of military power. Although he craves pleasure, he knows that only when he is in power can he feel safe enough, so he has never stopped training the army.
