Ning Wangjing Zhu Shugui, the last monarch of Daming, why did he finally commit suicide?
I think there are two reasons why Zhu Shugui, the last prince of the Ming Dynasty, committed suicide. First, Ning Jing Wang Zhu Shugui was very loyal to the Ming Dynasty and was willing to die. Second, the quiet king Zhu Shugui did not want to be captured by the enemy.

1. Ning Wang Jing Zhu Shugui was very loyal to the Ming Dynasty and was willing to die for his country. In fact, there are not many records about Ning Zhushugui in history, but judging from what he did before committing suicide, he was really a kind person who loved the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, but the quiet king Zhu Shugui did not choose to surrender, but continued to flee, and organized troops in the process of fleeing, hoping that the Ming Dynasty would rule the world again.

After Ning Wang Jing and Zhu Shugui fled to Taiwan Province Province, China, the enemy came. Ning Wangjing Zhu Shugui knew that there was nothing he could do, so he gave all his property, houses, land and so on. Give it to his people before committing suicide, and let his wife and children leave with the money at the same time, and then commit suicide. Therefore, Ning Wangjing and Zhu Shugui were actually very loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, why didn't he run away, but chose to commit suicide?

Second, Ning Wangjing doesn't want Zhu Shugui to be captured by the enemy. Secondly, I think Zhu Shugui of Ning Wangjing will choose to commit suicide. I think there is also a factor of not wanting to be a prisoner, because for a dead monarch, living is not necessarily better than dying. When the Northern Song Dynasty collapsed, all the royal nobles in the Northern Song Dynasty were taken away by the Xu Jinguo army. They were not only humiliated by the people of Xu Jinguo, but also forced to attend the surrender ceremony without dignity, and then they had to live in Xu Jin. Now that the Ming Dynasty collapsed, Emperor Chongzhen also chose to commit suicide. Ning Wang Jing Zhu Shugui can't guarantee that he will be treated inhumanely if he falls into the hands of the enemy, and he doesn't know what kind of humiliating life he will lead for the rest of his life.
