Zhu Yujian's change in basic policy is still commendable, and the joint peasant army to resist the Qing Dynasty began during the Longwu period. And facts have proved that if there was no Lianming resistance against the Qing Dynasty by the remnants of the peasant armies such as Dashun and Daxi, the Nanming regime would never have lasted for 20 years.

Second, Zhu Yujian put forward the principle of eliminating party strife and using Gongming to abandon public opinion. Before ascending the throne, when he was in charge of the country, he personally wrote three "Handbooks" of "Jin Gentleman", "Rong Zheng" and "Confucianism".

It says: "To build the rule of the country, the civil and military forces must be at the top, and the militia must be at the bottom." Otherwise, the way to defeat is ......."

And said: "I am determined to be peaceful, to get rid of the name of the party, but in the court strict lying rules, outside the punishment of greed." In the court, I still seem to be unconscious, and I want to start a war of fire and water, and I am very afraid of ......."

And Longwu is reluctant to take advantage of the views of the door in the selection of people, and does not blame the past, as long as he participates in the anti-Qing Dynasty, he will be hired. At this point, Longwu's insight is much more sophisticated than those who pretend to be upright and gentlemen.

In conclusion, Zhu Yujian's policy program is also remarkable, because he is more concerned about the people, and in order to alleviate the people's suffering, one of the key points of his administration is to rectify the rule of officials and severely punish corruption. It is stipulated that "small greed must be roded, and big greed must be killed".

When he heard that the soldiers and civilians who had been forced by the Qing court to shave their heads were fleeing to the south and were killed by the officials and soldiers of the Southern Ming Dynasty, he specially issued an edict that "some people are obedient to the people, and no people are refugees", and it is strictly forbidden to indiscriminately slaughter. This policy is in sharp contrast to the Qing court's policy of "keeping your hair but not your head," and it is obviously more popular.

As for Zhu Yujian's personal character, among the monarchs of the Southern Ming Dynasty, it is even rarer. Huang Daozhou once described Emperor Longwu's personality in a letter, "Today, I don't drink alcohol, I am a good official, I have a deep understanding of the past and the present, and I think it is also high, and the light has never been seen." ”

After ascending the throne, he was still very frugal, wearing a yellow robe of homespun cloth, and he was poor.

This kind of emperor, if it is in a peaceful and prosperous era, is definitely a blank of a Ming monarch, and it is far better than the Qing Dynasty emperors in the mouths of those Qing history experts and those so-called experts who cleaned the land.

Therefore, the history of the Ming Dynasty is no longer credible, because there are too many Qing and Ming dynasties, and there are also those literati and writers who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, in order to wash away their ugly selling behavior, deliberately distorted and exaggerated the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty, so as to beautify their "feat of abandoning the dark and turning to the light".

I have to say that they are the ugliest group of scum of the Han Dynasty since the Southern Song Dynasty.

But they succeeded, and at least for now, many people think that the end of the Ming Dynasty was a hell on earth with ugly politics and poor people.

But the fact is otherwise, even after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, before the Qing army moved south to occupy Jiangnan, ordinary Ming people still lived a prosperous and comfortable life.

Zhu Yujian is a tragedy, according to the logic of some Qing history experts, the reason why the Ming Dynasty fell and the Qing Dynasty was able to establish was because the Ming emperors were incompetent and lived luxurious and lazy lives, while the Manchu chieftains and the actual supreme rulers lived frugally, diligently and loved the people... Wait a minute.

These people say that the personal character of the supreme ruler is the ultimate factor in determining a dynasty, not to mention that many emperors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were obviously exaggerated and exalted by these Qing history experts, and the Ming emperors were obviously belittled by these people.

To put it simply, if the fate of an empire is determined entirely by the personal qualities of the emperor, then it is better to make a Puritan emperor.

In fact, Zhu Yujian is good in terms of ability, personal quality, and political policy, so why did he fail in the end? Apparently there are other reasons.

The most important of these "other reasons" is that Zhu Yujian did not control any reliable and loyal armed forces, and even Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, had Liao Zhongping's armed forces, but Zhu Yujian did not.

His edict was promulgated in Liangguang, southern Jiangxi, Hunan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places, and although it was recognized, it was only a superficial recognition, and in fact each locality still acted on its own.

For example, in Fujian, Zhu Yujian was subject to the brothers Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Hongkui, these two pirate brothers simply regarded Longwu as the banner in their hands, and they had no righteousness of national rejuvenation in their hearts.

He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, who was leading the troops, only knew how to use the trust of Emperor Longwu to regard Hunan and eastern Guizhou as his own forbidden territory, and Weifu was in charge of himself.

Qu Shiyun, the governor of Guangxi, intended to support the Gui Domain, and he was inseparable from the Longwu court.

All in all, Zhu Yujian basically has no powerful people who really assist him in his revival.

From the second half of last year to the beginning of this year, that is, the period of Wu Zheng's rise.

The rise of Wu Zheng is not due to the fact that he really has strong strength, but during this time period, the Qing Dynasty's Duoduo, Le Kedehun, and Azig successively withdrew their troops to the northwest, and the Qing army in the south was empty, and the rest of the Dashun army reached an agreement with He Tengjiao and Du Yinxi to resist the Qing Dynasty, which was the time when Huguang's troops were in full bloom.

This is the miracle of Wu Zheng's rise with thousands of troops in Lianghu Guard.

Zhu Yujian actually saw this, which is also the purpose of sending envoys to Shaoxing Mansion several times, intending to recruit Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, to join his command and jointly resist the Qing Dynasty.

It's just that Zhu Yujian's heart is higher than the sky, but his life is thinner than paper, and Zhu Yihai and the ministers of Shaoxing Mansion ignore him.

This can't be completely blamed on Zhu Yihai and them, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yujian really can't inherit the Ming Dynasty, because he is a "concubine", not the Tang King.

This has to start with Zhu Yu's attack on the queen of Tang.

The experience of his childhood made Zhu Yujian jealous and hateful, and his heart was also a little extreme.

After being named the queen of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Yujian was sharp, and there were many conflicts with the important ministers of the Chongzhen Dynasty on issues such as the exchange of clans, which offended many people.

In order to avenge his father's poisoning that year, he actually killed his two uncles Zhu Qijun (seriously injured but not dead) in the ninth year of Chongzhen.

In August of that year, the Qing Dynasty prince Azig led his troops to attack Beizhili and other places, and the Qing troops entered Serenke Baodi, approached Beijing, and the Beijing division was under martial law. Zhu Yujian was anxious, and asked for King Qin, but Emperor Chongzhen did not allow it, he ignored the iron rule of "the vassal king is not in charge of the army", recruited troops and horses privately, and led thousands of guards from Nanyang to the north to King Qin.

When he arrived in Yuzhou, he was impeached by the governor Yang Shenwu Shangjuan, and Emperor Chongzhen ordered him to return.

The Ming Dynasty was very strict against the vassal king, and according to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal king could enjoy himself in the palace, but he could not raise troops to support the general and leave the vassal. Even if Zhu Yujian's motives were pure, it still made Emperor Chongzhen angry, and then issued an edict to depose Zhu Yujian as a concubine, and sent Jinyi Wei to put Zhu Yujian in prison and renamed his brother Zhu Yujian as the king of Tang.

Therefore, strictly speaking, Zhu Yujian is not the king of Tang, but a deposed royal child.

Not eligible to inherit the Jongmyo Temple.
