The feudal dynasty system is all about the family, and those who are crowned kings are members of their own family. In order to win over generals with great military exploits, the court will also grant kings with different surnames. Especially in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to defeat and disintegrate the enemy, surrendered generals would also be given the title of king with a different surname. Pingxi King Wu Sangui is a famous king with different surnames in the Qing Dynasty . Besides him, how many other kings with different surnames were there in the Qing Dynasty?

If the emerging regime of the Later Jin wants to defeat the Ming dynasty , it is not enough to rely only on the Manchus . Letting the people of the Ming Dynasty be used by me is the fastest way. After the Qing army used countermeasures to eliminate Yuan Chonghuan , Yuan Chonghuan's subordinate Zu Dashou struggled to resist. The Qing army could not attack many times, so they adopted a strategy of persuading him to surrender. As long as Zu Dashou surrendered, he would immediately be crowned king,

and The level of this king is quite high, and his status is the same as that of Jierhalang, Dorgon and Duduo. It can be seen that the Qing court spent a lot of effort to win over Zu Dashou. Due to the limited territory of the Qing court at that time, the fiefdom had not been determined. In addition, Zu Dashou pretended to surrender the first time. Although the second time he surrendered for real, the matter of the title of king was not settled.

After Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, although the two generals were not as high-ranking as Zu Dashou, they had a certain influence because they surrendered earlier. In Huang Taiji , the Baylors with great military exploits were crowned kings. At that time, Kong Youde was also named King Gongshun, and Geng Zhongming was King Huaishun. After them, Shang Kexi, who was demoted to the Qing Dynasty, was named King Zhishun. Known as the "Three Shun King"

Huang Taiji's move obviously shaken the will of some Ming Dynasty generals to resist the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, Kong and Geng also became propaganda figures when the Qing army persuaded them to surrender, which meant that low-level officials like the two would be crowned kings when they came over. If someone with a higher official rank than the two surrendered, their status would only be higher than them.

To be honest, the surrender of Kong and Geng to the Qing Dynasty and the title of king did not have a great impact on the Ming Dynasty. What really caused the Ming Dynasty to suffer a heavy blow was Wu Sangui's surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

Wu Sangui's father was the commander-in-chief of Liaodong , and he was the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan. Shanhaiguan had a very high strategic position, and Zu Dashou was his uncle. The family of three held heavy troops and guarded the fortress. After Li Zicheng occupied Beijing city , he was lax in his control and mishandled it later. He killed Wu Sangui's family, which made Wu Sangui open Shanhaiguan in anger to welcome the Qing army to enter .

At that time, the Qing army was unfamiliar with the local customs in the pass and needed someone to act as a guide. Therefore, the Qing court respected Wu Sangui very much and named him Pingxi King. Prince. When many generals of the Ming Dynasty saw that Wu Sangui had received many benefits after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, they had no intention of fighting against the Qing army, which also allowed the Qing army to move south smoothly.

In the twelfth year of Kangxi's reign, the situation had stabilized. The Qing court also realized the disadvantages of enfeoffing vassal kings. In order to strengthen the centralization of power, it prepared to cut San Francisco .

In addition to San Francisco headed by Wu Sangui, the Qing court also granted a Han king with a different surname named Sun Kewang. He was the adopted son of Zhang Xianzhong, the king of Daxi in the late Ming Dynasty. At that time, Sun Kewang was the actual person in charge of the small imperial court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and his status was naturally higher than that of Wu Sangui. In the 14th year of Shunzhi, Sun Kewang came to the Qing Dynasty, made great contributions to pacifying the Li Dingguo tribe, and was named the "righteous" king.

But after Sun Kewang entered Beijing, he only had the title of King Yi but no real power. He could not even hold an official position, and finally died of depression.

These Han kings with different surnames played an important role in the Qing army's entry into the Central Plains. However, as the Qing court's rule in the Central Plains became increasingly stable

, the princes' power became too great, and conflicts with the court began to emerge. For this reason, the Qing court It was decided to only give them a higher status and take back their military and governance rights.

This is true for the Aisin Gioro clan, not to mention the Han people with the same surname as Wang. It is inevitable to reduce power.
