Why did Kangxi kill Zhu Cihuan?
As we all know, there was a case of the third crown prince Zhu in the Kangxi dynasty. At that time, Zhu Cihuan was already 70 years old. What ability did he have to rebel? But it was such an old man with a dying year who was still sentenced to Lingchi by Kangxi. In general dynasties, as long as they are surrendered, they are treated with courtesy to the former royal family. Even the Yuan Dynasty can treat the Zhao Song royal family kindly. Only the Manchu dynasty wants to kill the descendants of the Zhu Ming royal family.
At the beginning, the head of the Manchu Qing Dynasty arrested the male clan of the Ming dynasty first and did not kill him. However, as the Nanming forces later continued to hold the Ming Dynasty clan, the Manchu chiefs later killed all the Ming Dynasty male clan clan. The Manchu Dynasty was relatively better at the female clan of Ming Dynasty, the typical example is Princess Changping. From
to the Kangxi Dynasty, although Nanming had long since died, the civil anti-Qing forces were still relatively active. For the male clan of Ming Dynasty, we must cut the grass and root.
If Zhu Cihuan does not die, there will be more people playing the name of the third prince Zhu to fight against the Qing Dynasty. After all, from the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, a pure prince of blood is more orthodox than those of the blessing king and the king of Gui, otherwise they would not There was a case of a false prince
. Kangxi cannot be blamed for being cruel, only the incompetence of Xujun. As long as he sends a son to Nanjing (especially the prince), the small court of Nanming will be justified, and it will definitely be more useful than the captive pig princes.
