There have been many dynastic changes in China's history, and in every dynasty change, there will be a very important problem. That is how to treat the descendants of previous dynasties. Generally speaking, those who are relatively close to each other will be directly executed, but if a dynasty exists for hundreds of years, there will be many descendants, and they actually do not have much relationship in blood.
But these royal descendants will also be a threat, such as Liu Bei in the Han Dynasty, who has become a cloth cloth with straw shoes, and can still rely on his royal descendants to call on many people to follow him. Moreover, this situation has existed in all dynasties and dynasties, so generally new dynasties will be killed.
It is precisely because of this that after the Qing army entered the customs at that time, a large-scale massacre was carried out against the imperial family of the Ming Dynasty. However, according to the historical records of the Ming Dynasty at that time, after many years on both sides, the descendants of the Zhu surname have reached more than 100,000 people. And most of these people are in the northern region.
After all, the number is relatively large, and at the same time, under the pursuit of the Qing Dynasty, many descendants of the Zhu clan have begun to flee around. Many people have re-lived after changing their names in some places. Many people have gradually disappeared into history in this way, of course, many descendants of the Zhu clan have been killed.
Some of them came to a remote village in Henan, where there were already more than two hundred people. After the Qing army entered the customs, they wantonly killed the Ming Dynasty royal family, and they came here to avoid the fate of being killed. They also changed their surnames to king, so they escaped the disaster and survived here.
Even now, they can still see the records of their previous surnames in their genealogies, precisely because they have preserved the previous things relatively well. So later some experts came here to investigate, and there were many other things that passed down along with their genealogy. These are some proof that they are descendants of the royal family.
A portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang was also found in a family tree, and Zhu Yuanzhang in this portrait did not look very good. This also proves from another angle that Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance is indeed not very good-looking. After all, most of their people were people who had seen Zhu Yuanzhang, so they knew what the emperor looked like.
Experts after seeing this thing think it is very helpful for historical research, and because this portrait is not a relatively large one, it is not very valuable. The value of historical research is very high, so I hope to be able to hand it over to the state, of course, the state will also give some compensation.
