On March 19, 1644 AD, King Xinshun Li Zicheng led a peasant army to capture Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian hanged himself in Meishan, accompanied by eunuch Wang Chengen . Li Zicheng had not warmed up Chongzhen's throne. Just one month later, the Eight Banners Army led by Wu Sangui, the former commander-in-chief of Liaodong Province, and Dorgon, jointly defeated Li Zicheng.
The Jurchens who had just captured Beijing city , in order to gain the legitimacy of the regime, Emperor Shunzhi personally presided over the worship of Emperor Chongzhen. In the way of mourning the previous emperor Chongzhen, he announced to the world: Manchu and Qing are The successor of the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs to avenge Emperor Chongzhen.
If you stand in the context of the times, if you agree that the Qing Dynasty that captured Beijing is a legitimate regime, you will probably be regarded as a joke. Because, compared to the Nanming regime in Nanjing, the Qing regime that had just entered the customs was actually a weaker party.
Gen Hongmiaozheng’s successor is gone, so he can only find one from the nearby royal family. The ministers all have their own agendas, and the various factions are fighting openly and secretly over the issue of the successor, which is very lively. The various vassal kings were also dissatisfied with each other, and for a while there were almost parallel supervising states. And they were just the product of the struggle between ministers. They basically had no prestige at all and no appeal at all. Therefore, during the and Nanming periods, we were always faced with the problem of the legitimacy of the regime.
No matter from any angle, the Manchus came to dominate the world in just a dozen years after entering the customs. This process was too magical. From the perspective of Zhuge at the time, Nanming was the side with the most hope of making a comeback, but there was no end to it. Internal strife caused Nanming to miss great opportunities again and again, and eventually the Nanming regime was submerged in the long river of history along with these opportunities.
Compared with the Southern Song Dynasty which persisted for more than a hundred years, Nanming's popularity in history is much lower.
After the news that Beijing was conquered by the Chu army reached Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing's Ming Dynasty official Shi Kefa However, Qian Qianyi, Ma Shiying and others fought endlessly over which clan to support as the new king. Finally, in 1645, Zhu Yousong, who balanced the interests of all parties in the DPRK, appeared on the stage as Hongguang emperor.
However, Emperor Hongguang was extremely incompetent, and there were still internal fights within the Southern Ming Dynasty. After the Qing army defeated the Chuang army, the Ming general Zuo Liangyu stationed in Wuchang still attacked the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the name of "Qingjun side". Ma Shiying urgently mobilized the troops of the four towns in Jiangbei to fight. This series of chaotic internal strife greatly weakened Nanming's military strength, political appeal and cohesion.
Even later, when Nanming cooperated with the rest of Daxi and Dashun to resist the Qing Dynasty, there were many serious civil strife within it. Not only did it lose the opportunity to restore the country, but it also caused Nanming's only strength to plummet. Destroyed by the Qing army.
After the demise of the Longwu regime, Zhu Youlang ( Yongli regime ) and the Tang king Zhu Yuxuan established themselves one after another, and in the same year they proclaimed themselves emperors one after another. The two vassal kings did not cooperate well, and at that time the Qing Dynasty invaded In the case of the south, the two groups began to attack each other. When the Qing Dynasty saw this situation, they directly chose to attack Zhu Yulang. As a result, the Tang regime perished in less than 40 days, and Zhu Youlang fled at this moment. Arrived in Guangxi.
Just when the Nanming regime was in danger, Li Zicheng's peasant army entered the Jiangxi area of Hunan. In order to ease the conflict between the peasant army and Nanming, the peasant army began to accept the banner of "Ming". "foreign " is very similar, but here it is Lian Ming Kang Qing.
Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang joined, which made the Nanming regime show signs of resurgence. Later, Sun Kewang was jealous of Li Dingguo, coupled with his own lack of strength, so he surrendered to the Qing army at that time. Not only that, he also surrendered to the Qing army. Military general Hong Chengchou presented all the maps of the southwest region where Li Dingguo was located at that time, and introduced the Daxi Army in the southwest to the Qing army in detail. This enabled the Qing army to quickly know the details of Li Dingguo's Daxi Army.
In the past, party disputes in the Ming Dynasty were limited to the court, and many party disputes were deliberately provoked by the emperor. The purpose was to make the ministers fight among themselves and have no time to quarrel with the emperor.
The Southern Ming Dynasty was better, the emperor became a decoration, ministers were backed by warlords, and the intensity of party struggle was many times higher than before.
During the Battle of Mopanshan, Lu Guisheng, the young minister of Guanglu Temple in Nanming, sneaked out to report. Wu Sangui got the news and ordered an emergency retreat, and Li Dingguo ordered a pursuit. This battle was the largest fierce battle between the Southern Ming and Qing armies since the Yunnan-Guizhou Campaign! Two-thirds of the Ming army soldiers died in the battle. Although the Qing army withdrew early, they suffered numerous casualties and retreated thirty miles in a row.
After this battle, the Southern Ming Dynasty was over, and Emperor Yongli fled with the remaining forces to Burma. Although Li Dingguo wanted to kill the thieves, he was unable to save himself.
