Nanming is perhaps the most resentful regime, with too many regrets. The bloodline was inherited from the Ming Dynasty, which lasted for 18 years, and the four emperors and one overseen the country, but they were not recognized as belonging to the Ming Dynasty. Not only that, but even among the historical figures of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the history books often give two diametrically opposed characterizations. For example, Ma Shiying, the first assistant of the Southern Ming Dynasty, some people said that he was a loyal vassal of Daming and a soldier who resisted the Qing Dynasty, but some people also scolded him as a traitor who harmed the Chao Gang and betrayed the scum of Daming.

In 1644, the Chongzhen Emperor hanged himself at Jingshan, declaring the end of the Ming Dynasty. However, in fact, the Ming Dynasty has not completely perished, because the Ming Dynasty has lost mostly northern territory. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the peasant revolt in the north had a greater influence and was much more serious than in the south, and in fact the south still retained nearly half of the strength of the Ming Dynasty. However, at that time, the Chongzhen Emperor was already exhausted, and his heart was extremely desperate, and he was no longer willing to continue the drudgery of maintaining the decadent rule of Daming, so he left.
When the dragons were leaderless, Ma Shiying stood up and prepared to support Zhu Yousong, the king of Fu, as the new king, to lead the situation of saving Daming. He recruited several allies, Nguyen Da Cheng, Shi Kefa, and a group of Donglin Party members, in an attempt to facilitate the matter.
Nguyen Da Cheng was Ma Shiying's close friend and arguably the staunchest supporter; Shi Kefa was later characterized as a loyal vassal who was heroic and righteous for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, but his attitude was relatively ambiguous; as for the Donglin Party members, there were good and bad, loyal, virtuous, pedantic, and treacherous, which was very complicated.
The point is that after the Chongzhen Emperor attacked the eunuch forces led by Wei Zhongxian at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Donglin Party became a very large force, and even had the ability to influence the political situation. Before the outbreak of the peasant uprising led by Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and others, the Ma Shiying camp was full of contradictions with the Donglin Party. In order to implement his political views, Ma Shiying won the support of more allies, and even used various small means to curry favor with the Donglin Party.

Unfortunately, at this crucial juncture, the pedantic habits of the Donglin Party members were once again revealed. They resolutely opposed Zhu Yousong, the Prince of Fu, and even threatened that as long as it was not Zhu Yousong, the Fu King, any other plan could be agreed.
It turned out that the main new monarchs they could choose at that time were Zhu Yousong the Prince of Fu, Zhu Changrun the King of Hui, Zhu Changying the King of Gui, and Zhu Changshu the Prince of Lu. Among them, Zhu Yousong the Prince of Fu was the grandson of Zhu Yijun of the MingShen Sect, and the eldest son of Zhu Changxun the Prince of Fuzhong, who was a cousin of the Chongzhen Emperor; Zhu Changrun, the Prince of Hui, was the sixth son of the Ming ShenZong Zhu Yijun and was the uncle of the Chongzhen Emperor; Zhu Changying, the King of Gui, was the seventh son of the Ming Shen Sect Zhu Yijun and the uncle of the Chongzhen Emperor; and Zhu Changshu the Prince of Lu was the nephew of the Ming ShenZong Zhu Yijun and the cousin of the Chongzhen Emperor.
Zhu Changshu, the King of Lu, was first excluded from the Ma Shiying and Donglin Party camps because of the much different generations and distant bloodlines. The fu king Zhu Yousong, the hui king Zhu Changrun, and the gui king Zhu Changying were close to the Chongzhen Emperor and were easier to accept. It is reasonable to say that Zhu Yousong, the Prince of Fu, was of the same generation as the Chongzhen Emperor, which was more in line with the inheritance rule of "brother and brother"; Zhu Changrun, the King of Hui, and Zhu Changying, the King of Gui, crossed a generation, which was obviously much worse.
However, the pit left by the Wanli Emperor (Emperor Mingshen Zhu Yijun) continued to plague this chaotic world. Originally, the Wanli Emperor had always been reluctant to appoint his eldest son Zhu Changluo as crown prince, and wanted to appoint Zhu Changxun, the former being the father of the Chongzhen Emperor and the latter being the father of Zhu Yousong the Prince of Fu. Because the position of crown prince had been pending for a long time, the ministers at the bottom were divided into two factions, taking sides with Zhu Changluo and Zhu Changxun respectively, and it was Zhu Changluo who was standing in the Middle East. Therefore, they have always been very disgusted with Zhu Changxun, and this disgust has continued to Zhu Changxun's son Zhu Yousong the Prince of Fu, causing them to resolutely oppose Ma Shiying's proposal.
Because the Donglin Party strongly opposed, Ma Shiying, in order to unite people's hearts, sent Shi Kefa to communicate repeatedly with the Donglin Party, but there was no result. In the end, Ma Shiying took into account the overall situation, chose to compromise, and chose Zhu Changying, the king of Gui, a plan that could be accepted by both sides.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" > regeneration variable of Guiwang scheme</h1>
However, after the plan was decided, Shi Kefa had another remark, privately suggesting that it seemed more appropriate for others to fu wang Zhu Yousong, and now this compromised plan is easy to cause military disasters. Who knew that this remark leaked out and caused dissatisfaction among many forces. Even the forces of Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, who had not been favored for a while, suddenly appeared to accuse Shi Kefa. As soon as the crowd made such accusations, Shi Kefa immediately became weak-hearted again, and his attitude simulated two things.
Ma Shiying originally supported Zhu Yousong, the Prince of Fu, but later compromised and chose Zhu Changying the Prince of Gui because of the strong opposition of the Donglin Party. Shi Kefa began to act as an intermediary, coordinating support for Zhu Changying, the King of Gui, but privately supporting Zhu Yousong, the Prince of Fu. As soon as the power of Zhu Changshu, the King of Lu, emerged, Shi Kefa did not dare to squeak again. Shi Kefa was later scolded by some literati as traitors, and a large part of the reason was caused by this incident.
At this time, the original opposition Donglin Party became neutral, and the ball was kicked to Ma Shiying. The Fu King Zhu Yousong has shi Kefa, an indisputable supporter, the Gui King Zhu Changying is a plan supported by the Donglin Party, and the supporters of Zhu Changshu, the King of Lu, are much stronger than originally expected, who should be chosen?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17" > Ma Shiying's re-election of Fuwang scheme</h1>
Ma Shiying suddenly thought of the Dashun and Qing armies in the north, and realized the urgency of time, if they could not elect a new monarch in time, the enemy was likely to soon come to the city. Zhu Changying, the king of Gui, was far away in the southwest region, some distance from Jiangnan, and it might be too late. Thinking of this, Ma Shiying made up his mind and turned to sticking to his original decision--after all, The Fu King Zhu Yousong was the closest and the closest.
But the Donglin Party members immediately stopped doing it and made a fuss again. Ma Shiying couldn't manage so much, didn't want to delay any longer, and directly took over the Fu King Zhu Yousong and proclaimed him as the first emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, that is, the Hongguang Emperor. Ma Shiying was also appointed as the first assistant of Nanming because of his meritorious service.
However, the side effects of Ma Shiying's choice were also very obvious, and in the anti-Qing struggle led by the Hongguang Emperor, the Donglin Party members had always been bad and always did not cooperate. Not only that, they also scolded Ma Shiying as a traitor, harmed Chao Gang, and even scolded Ruan Dacheng and Shi Kefa, and even the literati Yang Longyou and Yue Qijie, who had previously had in-laws with Ma Shiying, were also scolded by "sitting together".
The decadent rule of the Ming Dynasty itself made the people at the bottom very dissatisfied, and Ma Shiying's loyal subjects not only had to face the Great Qing Dynasty that unified Mongolia and then entered the pass and destroyed Dashun to occupy the north, but also had to deal with these speechless and irreconcilable internal contradictions, which were far more difficult than Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms era. It is conceivable that they must have failed in the end, and they could not save Daming.

But the literati's residual power is still there, and the resentment against Ma Shiying has not dissipated. After the defeat of Ma Shiying' army, its ending was derived from multiple versions. There are those who are martyred directly and heroically after the defeat of the army, there are also those who become monks after the defeat of the army and then arrested, and there are those who die after the defeat of the army -- of course, there are also those who surrender to the Qing Dynasty after the defeat of the army, and then be killed by fear. The last kind of reality is the remnants of the Donglin Party, the slander of Ma Shiying.
Even after the fall of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the literati of the entire Qing Dynasty were calling Ma Shiying a traitor and a traitor, and his image was not as good as that of Shi Kefa, who was "always mishandled". It can be seen that offending the literati is such a tricky thing.
Poor Ma Shiying was bent on saving Daming, comparable to the late Ming "Zhuge Liang", but he fell into such a bad name. Shame! Shame! Shame!
