Compared with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty was indeed "losing the world with leniency"!
How to deal with the problem of the former imperial family, the Yuan Dynasty really did not exterminate it like the Manchu Qing. Emperor Gong of Song ended up decent, and after being a prisoner for 47 years, he was given death by Emperor Yuan Yingzong, leaving a whole corpse. Moreover, Emperor Yuan Yingzong only dealt with Emperor Gong of Song alone, and did not kill his family.
The day after Dorgon led his army into the city of Beijing, he issued an edict: "Those who submit to the kings of the Zhu surname will not take their titles, but will still be gracious." Twenty days later, Dorgon reiterated again: "If the kings of the Chu clan have come to submit, they should also be nurtured as usual, and they should not be changed." This kind of propaganda, coupled with the banner of the Qing army entering the customs under the banner of avenging the Chongzhen Emperor, did deceive many Ming dynasty clansmen, but soon these Ming clan members paid the price with their lives for their innocence.
In the 47th year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the 75-year-old Ming dynasty crown prince Zhu Cizhao was captured by the Qing Dynasty and taken to Beijing. Kangxi ordered Zhu Ciling to be executed on the grounds that "although there was no conspiracy to rebel, there was no intention of rebellion", and everyone in the family, young and old, was beheaded in the city. Moreover, he first killed Zhu Cizhao's son, and then he was delayed.
Also in the 47th year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the Manchu Qing court also issued a holy decree claiming to find the remaining descendants of the Ming Dynasty royal family to perform the "Three Ke" ceremony on them and give them knighthoods.
