The Southern Ming Dynasty was a dynasty established in the south by the Ming dynasty imperial family after the fall of the Ming Dynasty. Although Nanming's life expectancy was short, there were 16 emperors, but these 16 emperors were either killed or committed suicide, and their fate was very tragic. Let's talk about the last three emperors of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Mingyizong Zhu Shugui (1617-1683), the eighth grandson of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, a descendant of Zhu Zhi, the fifteenth prince of Liao, and the younger brother of Zhu Shuya, the Prince of Changyang. During the Longwu period, he was enfeoffed as the King of Ningjing, and during the Southern Ming Dynasty, he successively served as a supervisor in the army of Fang Guoan, Zheng Hongkui, and Zheng Chenggong. After Zheng successfully recovered Taiwan, Zhu Shugui went to the throne and was proclaimed emperor, using the "Yongli" era name, and when Zheng Ketuan surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Zhu Shugui committed suicide with five concubines. In the sixtieth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1721), after Zhu Yigui's rebellion in Taiwan, he posthumously honored Zhu Shugui as Emperor Yizong of Daming Yizong Bingtianzheng Dao Yuan Rui Liang Min Dun Wen Jian Wu Si Ren Zhen Xiao Kao.
Emperor Mingdezong Zhu Yigui (1690-1722). Self-proclaimed Ming Dynasty, the first person to "oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty", formerly known as Zhu Zu, a native of Fengshan County, Taiwan Province, whose ancestral home was Changtai County, Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, kangxi immigrated to Taiwan in the fifty-second year (1713), served as a servant in his youth, and later worked as a domestic servant and farmed for a living. In the sixty years of the Kangxi Dynasty (1721), The prefect of Taiwan, Wang Zhen, levied tyrannical taxes and levies endlessly, and endlessly apportioned various harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes to the people, and complaints abounded. After the people pushed Zhu Yigui to be the leader of the alliance to launch an uprising, after capturing the capital city of Taiwan, Zhu Yigui inherited the Ming system, the national name "Daming", the era name "Yonghe", and abolished the Manchu shaving order, took off the flag and cut the long braid, and restored the Ming Dynasty clothing and traditional Han hairstyles. Later, due to the internal division of Fujian and Guangdong, "Daming" lasted only two months before being suppressed by the Qing army. Zhu Yigui was unyielding when he was arrested, calling himself an "orphan family" and was later escorted to Beijing to be executed by Ling Chi.
Emperor Mingzong Zhu Mingyue (1841-1868). Formerly known as Zhang Baoshan, a native of Xinzhou, Zunyi County, Guizhou. He once held a regimental exercise, but for some reason was detained by the county order. After his release, he assumed the surname zhu, took the name Mingyue, claimed to be the tenth grandson of Emperor Mingsizong, and went to the camp of the peasant rebel army of the Sinan White Army to meet the leader Liu Yishun. In April of the ninth year of Qing Xianfeng (1859), he was proclaimed the King of Daming qin in Sinan Cen Tougai in Guizhou, following Yang Longxi's "Jianghan" era name, which was the sixth year of Jianghan. Later, he and Liu Yishun led the White Horn Army to the west, attacking Fenggang, Zunyi, Meitan, Suiyang, Tongzi, and Lian lian.
In the fourth year of Tongzhi (1865), the White Army promoted Zhu Mingyue as the Emperor of Daming, changed the twelfth year of Jianghan to the first year of the Reunification, and established the base areas of Sinan Cen Tougai, Jingzhu Garden, Partial Daoshui, Yuhua Mountain, etc., with a sphere of influence covering half of Guizhou, ruling for 10 years, and casting heirs to unify the circulation of money. In August of the seventh year of Tongzhi (1868), "Daming" was suppressed by the Qing army, and Zhu Mingyue was captured when he broke through. Liu Yishun and others who successfully broke through the siege honored this "Emperor Of the Great Ming Dynasty Emperor Zantian Shen Dao Xian Deyuan Wei Min Wen Zhongwu Chengren Zhi Xiao Zhi Emperor"
