Zhu Benli (simplified Chinese: 朱本𫟷; traditional Chinese: 朱本鉝; pinyin: Zhū Běnlì) or the Dingwu Emperor[1] (定武帝) is claimed to be the last emperor of the Southern Ming dynasty.
[2] His identity and existence, however, are a matter of some dispute, and Zhu Youlang, the Yongli Emperor, is generally taken to be the last emperor of the Southern Ming dynasty.
Zhu Benli had his seat in Hubei, where he built a fortification.
In 1663, Hubei was conquered by the Qing dynasty, and the fate of Zhu Benli is unknown.
[2] Zhu Benli had relatively little influence on politics during the Southern Ming dynasty.
