The change of dynasties is an important step in the historical process, deducing the distinctive characteristics of each historical period, and when the dynasty changes, there will be a situation of divergent opinions on history, "public saying that the public is justified, the wife is reasonable", and washing white and washing black is the norm. Today we are going to talk about a figure who was once said to be a traitor to the king, and as a result, archaeology revealed the truth, and experts said: It is a national hero who has carried a black cauldron for three hundred years!
At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, it was also a time of great chaos in the world, although the Chongzhen Emperor was forced to hang himself in the coal mountains, but the descendants of the Zhu clan continued to appear one after another, and all the people and horses under the slogan of "anti-Qing and restoration of the Ming Dynasty" fought against the Qing Dynasty to the end, even in the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, there were still some members of the Ming Dynasty who confronted the Qing Dynasty, which had become the climate.
The two most important Ming forces were the Longwu regime established by the Tang king Zhu Yujian in Fuzhou, and the Lu king Zhu Yihai overseeing the state in Shaoxing. Coincidentally, the two announced their status at the same time in the same month of the same year, a day apart, which created a very embarrassing situation.
The Tang king Zhu Yujian seemed to be more "popular with the people", and even received the approval of Zheng Chenggong, the "grandfather of the country", while zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, was less optimistic, and his supervision of the state was supported by the anti-Qing rebels and officials and gentry in Zhejiang Yuyao, Huiji, Yinxian and other places.
However, the good times were not long, and the regime of king Lu was more keen to compete with the Longwu Dynasty for imperial unity, and even reached the point of being in the same situation, and in the case of enemies on all sides, the jianguo regime soon collapsed without a fight, and Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, had no choice but to flee to Zhoushan.
In 1651, the Qing army captured Zhoushan, and the desperate Zhu Yihai defected to Zheng Chenggong and attached himself to his men. At this time, although the Longwu regime had been destroyed by the Qing army, and the Longwu Emperor Zhu Yujian had also died of hunger strike, Zheng Chenggong was still a staunch supporter of the Longwu regime, showing strong dissatisfaction with Zhu Yihai, only because the enemy was currently in the same room.
However, Zheng Chenggong remembered that Zhu Yihai was a descendant of the Ming Dynasty clan, and still treated him with courtesy, and arranged for Zhu Yihai to live in Kinmen. Later, in conflict with Zheng Chenggong, Zhu moved to South Australia under the title of Hai zi to supervise the country, and was later killed by Zheng Chenggong's people in the sea.
In the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty", it is recorded: "King Tan of Luhuang, the tenth son of Taizu ... For a long time, Ju Kinmen, Zheng Chenggong treated quite respectfully. If the sea cannot be flattened, it will go to South Australia. Success sinks into the sea. ”?
From the description in the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty", it can be seen that Zheng Chenggong sent people to kill Zhu Yihai, killed the Ming Dynasty's clan, and killed the Ming Dynasty's overseers, which is undoubtedly a great irony for Zheng Chenggong, who "opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty", so that the act of killing the emperor and treason has smeared a "stain" on Zheng Chenggong for a lifetime.
However, the truth of the facts will always come out, in 1959, when the nationalist soldiers used explosives to mine stones near Kinmen Island, an ancient tomb was found after the explosion, and after experts identified and analyzed, it was concluded that this was the mausoleum of Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu.
In the process of excavation of the cemetery, not only a large number of funerary items were found, but also an inscription was seen on which recorded the life of Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, the most critical sentence of which was that Zheng successfully brushed away the crime of treason against the king, that is, to explain the cause of death of Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu.
It is clearly recorded on the inscription: "Wang Su had wheezing disease, and on November 13, He was in phlegm and was cured", which proves that Zhu Yihai died of asthma, not zheng chenggong sent someone to kill him, and died behind Zheng Chenggong.
It can be seen from the funerary products in the mausoleum that Zheng Chenggong has great respect for King Lu, so that his descendants also have great respect for Zhu Yihai and bury him with royal etiquette.
When seeing this, archaeologists can't help but sigh that Zheng Chenggong, a national hero who has been carrying the black cauldron for three hundred years, has finally been thrown off! The "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty", which gave Zheng Chenggong a black pot, was undoubtedly the Manchu Qing, in order to consolidate its own ruling position, used tactics such as "smearing and framing" against the ming incident, demeaning others and elevating itself, so as to achieve the purpose of unifying the world.
However, the truth of history will eventually be revealed, and it is not something that can be rewritten by a "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty", and after archaeological excavations, more and more truths will be presented in front of the eyes of our people.
