Was the Southern Ming Dynasty a Ming Dynasty? What s going on?

No. The Southern Ming Dynasty was a continuation of the Ming Dynasty, and unlike the Southern Song Dynasty, the Southern Ming period was turbulent, and after the destruction of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming clan established a number of regimes in the south, which were eventually wiped out by the Qing Dynasty.

In 1644 A.D., Li Zicheng's peasant army broke through Beijing, and Ming Yizong Zhu hanged himself in the coal mountain, and the Ming Dynasty died. Later, the Qing army entered the Central Plains, and the Ming Dynasty successively established a collective name in the south to resist the Manchu regime. Including the Hongguang regime, the Longwu regime, the Lu Wangjian state, the Shaowu regime and the Yongli regime, a total of 18 years.

In 1661 (15 years of the calendar), Wu Sangui led the Qing army into Burma, asking for Emperor Yongli, the king of Myanmar handed over Yongli to the Qing army in December, and in April of the following year, Emperor Yongli and his son were executed by Wu Sangui in Kunming. After that, the Zheng regime continued to worship Yongli as Zhengshuo. In 1683, Zheng Kexuan, the king of Yanping County, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing army occupied Taiwan, and Zhu Shugui, the king of Ningjing, committed suicide and martyrdom, marking the fall of the last regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Can't count. Strictly speaking, the Southern Ming regime was a continuation of the Ming Dynasty, but it could not be counted as the Ming Dynasty.

By this standard, the Ming Dynasty's capture of Beijing in 1644 with Li Zicheng marked the end of national power. And the Southern Ming Dynasty belonged to the separatist regime, which could not be counted in the Ming Dynasty at all.

The positioning of the Southern Ming regime should be the continuation of the regime after the death of the Ming Dynasty, because there is no fixed territory and a fixed capital, and the existence time is short, and there has been no confrontation between the north and the south, so it cannot be counted as the Ming Dynasty.

Administrative divisions

In the late Ming Dynasty and the Southern Ming Dynasty, as the governor gradually became the de facto highest local military and political chief, the highest level of local administrative division was in fact no longer the two capitals and thirteen political divisions, but more than a dozen governors and governors. In essence, a Governorate is a kind of "quasi-government" that is in the transition stage to a formal political district.

It was not until the early years of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty that the governor and governor became the official highest local military and political governors, and their jurisdictions were completely adjusted to the same as the boundaries of the provinces, thus becoming the official highest-level administrative divisions. There are many differences between the governor's jurisdiction in the state of "quasi-administrative district" and the official administrative district.

The Southern Ming Dynasty was born after the death of Emperor Chongtan Huizhen in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, which was short and absurd. The ruling area is insufficient, and the definition of Biwang of the exile regime is insufficient, so it can only be called a separatist force.

I think the main reason is that the Nanming Dynasty has existed for a very short time in history, although it has experienced 4 emperors, but these emperors have a bad reputation in the history of Qi Feng of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and they have been exploiting the people during their reign, which has also led to the people's resentment towards them, which has only existed for a few decades.

Because although Zhu Mingzhang stabilized the foundation of the imperial court, the Southern Ming Dynasty was an important turning point in the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty that began to lag behind the West, and it was the last glorious period of the Chinese dynasty.

The Southern Ming Qin Tan was the first formal southern dynasty established after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Southern Ming and the Jin Dynasty did not exist for a long time, and the Southern Ming did not have any forces to resist against the Qing Dynasty.
