Wu Sangui Rebellion Strains Qing Finances
Kong Xi appointed Mu Zhan as the General of the South to lead reinforcements to the Hunan battlefield. Emperor Kangxi expressed dissatisfaction with the victory, deeming it too late and costly despite the use of modern weaponry. The fall of Yuezhou, described as a hard nut to crack, signifies the end of the central front in the conflict. The Prime Minister Wu Yingqi led a remnant force in a raid before escaping south. Following the recapture of Yuezhou, Changsha was also taken within days. The recapture of Yuezhou also casts a shadow on the legacy of Wu Sangui's Guan Ning iron cavalry, which was instrumental in the Qing conquest of southern China. The protracted Three Rebellions War has created financial pressure on the Qing court.
