1.永历帝的经历正如“斩草不除根，春风吹又生”，历来之君能得到善终很少。明朝最后一位皇帝，不是自缢煤山的崇祯帝，而是他的堂弟朱由榔，他们都是万历皇帝朱翊钧的亲孙子。
2.然而跟堂哥朱由检比起来，朱由榔着实差远了。他性格怯懦，从小未尝受过正规的皇室教育，连其亲生母亲都评价其“吾儿仁柔，非拨乱之才也”。不过由于当时其父亲兄弟们都死了，他成为了南明政权唯一的选择。
3.从1646年到1662年的16年里，永历帝没享受过几天安生日子。清军进驻紫禁城之后，他被迫流离失所，在粤、桂、湘、黔、滇、缅之间不断逃亡。一有风吹草动，当即闻风而逃。
4.永历十二年（公元1658年），吴三桂攻入云南昆明，永历帝如丧家之犬，被迫逃入缅甸寄人篱下。永歷十五年（公元1661年），吴三桂进兵缅甸，对缅甸国王索要朱由榔，但当时缅甸内部发生变故，无力与吴三桂对抗，只得答应他的要求，将永历帝诱骗至咒水杀害，这就是“咒水之难”。
5.随后在1662年的正月，缅甸王莽白将永历帝献给吴三桂，其被俘宣告了明朝皇统的彻底灭亡。至此，大明实际已正式灭亡。
6.为何要杀死 永歷十六年（公元1662）六月一日，由于康熙刚刚登基且辅佐大臣希望抚慰前明百姓，因此原本可能会放过他。但是吴三桂立即上书请求处决，并获得了朝廷同意。这背后隐藏着什么样的原因呢？
7.Wu San Kui, a crucial historical figure at the transition from Ming to Qing, originally achieved the rank of Wu Ke in the military exams and later defected to Qing, being enfeoffed as Prince of West China.
8.The Ming Dynasty was once his "boss," but when facing Emperor Chongzhen of Ming, Kangxi decided to spare him; why did Wu San Kui still kill him? What were the reasons behind this action? Today we will have our small editor from Shijing.com take you through it step by step.
9.Firstly, let's talk about Yongli Emperor's experience: as they say, "cutting grass without pulling up roots allows new shoots to grow again." It is rare for a ruler to meet a peaceful end; like Liu Chan who was posthumously promoted after his nation fell and enjoyed a carefree old age even less so.
10.The last emperor of Ming wasn't self-strangulated on Coal Hill like Chongzhen Emperor; he was actually Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang - both are sons of Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun.
11.Yet compared with his brother-in-law Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjiong (Chongzhen), Yongli had it much worse - "from an early age he never learned anything" and lacked proper education in royal etiquette due to which he became timid and indecisive - even his own mother described him as "a son gentle and soft-hearted but not capable of governing."
12.Yet because all his father brothers died off leaving only one choice for maintaining Southern Ming rule - thus on November 18th 1646 Yongli declared himself emperor renaming next year as Yongzheng Year One.
13.From 1646 until 1662's sixteen years saw no respite for Yongli while under siege by Manchu forces that conquered most parts including Beijing where all except local leaders had submitted; yet left alone wouldn't be spared nor would any other remnants- thus fleeing endlessly between provinces Guizhou Guangxi Hunan Sichuan Yunnan Myanmar amidst every disturbance instantly taking flight
14.In twelve years (1658) Wusankui attacked Kunming forcing YongLi into exile in Myanmar amongst beggars there
15.Fifteen years later (in 61) Wusankui launched another attack against Myanmar demanding their surrendering OfYongLi
16.Whereas then internal strife within Myanmar prevented them resisting Wusankui’s demands leading them agreeing
17.Now Sixteenth year (62) January came with news that King Mang Bai presentedWUSANKUIwithYONGLIwho’d been captured marking endofMing imperial dynasty effectively ending GreatMing’s reign
18.As for killingYONGLIafter capture when initially should've gone back north towards capitalBeijingforKANGXIto decide what'd happen insteadWUSANKUIimmediately petitionedKANGXImainland requesting execution which got approved by court itself-YONGLIFATHERANDSONWEREPHASEDOUTINJUNE162GIVINGFINALETOANYCHANCEOFRECOVERYFORMINGROYALTY
