Wu San Gui, ever infamous in Chinese history as the Ming general who opened Shan Hai Guan, a key fortress in the Great Wall, to Qing forces and greatly eased their conquest of the Ming Empire. He was rewarded with the title Ping Xi Wang (King Who Pacifies the West) and a fief of his own in Yunnan. The heavy financial burden of this post and two others similar, as well as the intrinsic distrust of the Qing Government, led to the decision by Emperor Kangxi to end these semi-autonomous regions and to allow the Three Feudatories resettle in Manchuria. Driven by self interesat and preservation the Three Feudatories revolted and began an eight year long civil war. The campaign intially went well for the rebels but began to turn against them in 1676. In an act of desperation, Wu San Gui declared himself to the be Emperor Zhao Wu with the state name of Great Zhou. He died in 1678 and was succeeded by his grandson Wu Shi Fan who continued the struggle until 1681 when Great Zhous army was defeated. Wu Shi Fan committed suicide and his head was sent to Beijing. Wu San Guis corpse was cut into pieces and sent to various parts of China. . (11) [311-314, 316]
