Great Qing
King of the Clan
The Qing Dynasty, as the last unified feudal dynasty, fully absorbed the lessons of the previous dynasty's division of land and the seizure of power by the clan, and the entire imperial court treated the princes with absolute cruelty, especially the most affordable feudal kings.
The princes of the Qing Dynasty, according to the degree of affordability, can be roughly divided into three grades:
The third is the ordinary prince, who is demoted in the succession of knighthoods, and the next generation is at least one level lower than the previous generation;
The second gear is the Iron Hat King, hereditary replacement, what is the title of the previous generation, and what is the title of the next generation;
The first file is the king of the clan that everyone envied at the beginning, named ZhenShou, but in fact, it is divided and has three independent powers.

First, the early Qing Dynasty was divided into five domains
At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banner Army was limited in number and could not effectively control the vast southern region, coupled with the raids of Li Zicheng, the Southern Ming Court and other local governments, the Manchu Qing supported several of the largest Ming generals, asked them to help solve the above problems, and promised many benefits.
Later, the generals helped the Manchu Qing to open up the territory and expand the territory, and the merit was great, so the Manchu Qing broke the rules and made the five most meritorious kings of the domain.

King Shangkexi of Pingnan, zhenshou Guangdong;
Geng Zhongming, King of Jingnan, (eldest son Geng Jimao) zhenshou Fujian;
Kong Youde, king of Dingnan, (son-in-law Sun Yanling) guarded Guangxi;
The righteous king Sun Kewang, who was regarded as the nominal king of the domain, did not give a fief.

The town guardian side is the local earth emperor, who has a number of supreme powers such as financial power, official power, military power, and legal power.
It is reasonable to say that the kings of the clan should be at ease, and their children and grandchildren should benefit from it.
But in fact, these five major feudal kings were all fiercely rubbed by the Qing Dynasty, and none of them ended well.

Second, the end of the Pingxi Wang Wu Sangui Group
Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, was the most famous king of the Qing Dynasty. Kangxi's strategy of cutting the domain was mainly aimed at him.
After Wu Sangui took control of Yungui, he used war to feed the war, constantly improved the combat effectiveness of the Guanning Iron Horse, reclaimed wasteland, changed the land and returned to the stream, carried out trade, sat on the copper mine, and also obtained the right to mint coins, and every year the Qing court also gave him a large amount of financial subsidies. It is hard to turn this originally wild and backward frontier into an important town on the rich side.
After Wu Sangui launched the San Francisco Rebellion, the Qing court seized his title and cut his power. During the confrontation with the Qing army, Wu Sangui established himself as emperor, but soon after fell ill and died. His grandson Wu Shipan succeeded to the throne, and later committed suicide in defeat, marking the end of the San Francisco Rebellion.
Wu Sangui's son Wu Yingxiong was originally held hostage in Beijing, and Wu Yingxiong was killed after Wu Sangui raised an army. No descendants were knighted.

Third, the Pingnan Wang Shangke happy group ending
The king of Pingnan was still gratifying and had always been loyal to the Qing court, but the eldest son Shang Zhixin was very angry, and casually scolded the imperial court officials and took people's lives. Shang Kexi was afraid that the eldest son's power would bring ruin to the family in the future, so he handed over power to the second son Shang Zhixiao.
But later Shang Zhixin seized power, imprisoned his father Shang Kexi, defected to Wu Sangui, and raised the banner of anti-Qing. Shang Kexi was killed by him alive.
Although Shang Zhixin later surrendered to the Qing court, he was beheaded by the Qing court because he did not make a contribution to suppress wu Sangui, but only waited and watched the situation, and was tyrannical and unscrupulous. No descendants were knighted.
Shang Kexi's second son Shang Zhixiao died of illness after his death, and no descendants were attacked.

Fourth, the end of the Jingnan Wang Geng Zhongming Group
Geng Zhongming's sense of existence was low, and soon after he was crowned queen of Jingnan, he secretly hid fugitives, and the Qing court decided to deal with it seriously. Geng Zhongming directly committed suicide in fear of sin, in fact, the Qing court did not intend to punish him to death.
Geng Zhongming's eldest son, Geng Jimao, once guarded Sichuan, then Guangxi, and later Fujian.
When Geng Jimao was seriously ill in old age, his eldest son Geng Jingzhong attacked the lord. He was involved in the San Francisco Rebellion, not his father.

Although Geng Jingzhong later surrendered, he still had the intention of rebellion and was denounced by his subordinates.
After the Rebellion of San Francisco was quelled, Geng Jingzhong had a tragic ending, and the Kangxi Emperor ordered Geng Jingzhong and his henchmen Bai Xianzhong, Xu Wenyao, and Wang Shiyu to be executed.
The family was properly settled, and the two younger brothers died well, but no descendants were knighted.

Fifth, the end of the Dingnan Wang Kong Youde Group
After Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he went out to conquer Korea, Jinzhou, Songshan and other places. After entering the customs, he assisted in suppressing the anti-Qing forces in various parts of Jiangnan. During his expedition to Guangxi, he was defeated and committed suicide by the Southern Ming general Li Dingguo. More than 120 members of his family were killed, including Kong Tingxun, Kong Youde's only son.
Only her daughter Kong Sizhen escaped and was adopted as an adopted daughter by Empress Xiaozhuang, and was given the title of ShuoGege, with a very respected status.

After Kong Sizhen married Sun Yanling, Sun Yanling attacked the lord and guarded Guangxi, so the two of them went south with their families. But Sun Yanling soon excluded Kong Sizhen, and the couple's relationship deteriorated.
After the outbreak of the San Francisco Rebellion, Sun Yanling was killed by Wu Shiqun at both ends of the rat.
Wu Sangui put Kong Sizhen under house arrest in Yunnan, and did not return to Jingshi until the San Francisco Rebellion was quelled. There is a place name in Beijing called "Princess Tomb", which is named after it. However, after investigation, Kong Sizhen was not buried here.

Sixth, the righteous king Sun Kewang is expected to end the group
The righteous prince Sun Kewang, a general under Zhang Xianzhong, was adopted by Zhang Xianzhong as his adopted son. After Zhang Xianzhong's death, he became the number one person in the group. Later, it switched to the Southern Ming Yongli regime, but due to the disagreement with the general Li Dingguo, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.
Later, he learned that his long-lost brother Sun Kesheng was a soldier in Shanghai and had a poor life. So he applied to the imperial court to use the public family to transport his brother's family to Beijing to reunite with him.

It is reasonable to say that a prince made such a small request, which is not excessive, but he was bombarded by Yushi, saying that he occupied public resources and turned over various old accounts. Sun Kewang apologized.
Later, Sun Kewang fell ill and died (it is said that he was shot by the Qing army during hunting), and his son Sun Zhengqi attacked the knight, but also died of illness a few months later. Sun Zhengqi's younger brother Sun Zhengchun attacked the lord.
The Yongli Emperor was killed, and after Li Dingguo's illness and death, Sun Kewang's clique had no use value at all, and the "grace" of the imperial court was gradually degraded. A few years later, the Qing court declared: "Sun Ke is expected to have all hereditary positions for his descendants, and there is no need to inherit them in the future." "
In summary, none of the five major feudal kings of the Qing Dynasty died well. Those who can survive are basically pushed to the brink of power, and the ending is lamentable.
