Wu Xiang (Chinese: 吳襄; pinyin: Wú Xiāng; died 1644) was a general of the Ming Dynasty and the father of Wu Sangui.
Biography
He was reprimanded by the Ming court in the 1630s for failing to join the fight against Nurhaci.[1] The ruling forces of the short-lived Shun Dynasty of late Imperial China took over his house. This contributed to the general's decision to oppose that regime, and hastened its downfall.[2] Wu Sangui was also driven to formally support the Qing Dynasty forces over those of the Shun after Wu Xiang was executed by Li Zicheng.[3]
