Khalid bin Barghash vs Zhu Yihai

Khalid bin Barghash's refusal to abdicate led to the Anglo-Zanzibar War, the shortest war in history. British warships bombarded the palace for 38 minutes, killing 500 defenders. Khalid fled to the German consulate and was exiled.

Khalid bin Barghash seized the sultanate after the death of his cousin Hamad bin Thuwaini, without British approval. He declared himself Sultan, challenging British authority over Zanzibar's succession.

After his defeat, Khalid bin Barghash was captured by the British and exiled first to the Seychelles, then to Saint Helena. He remained in exile for decades, never returning to Zanzibar, ending his political ambitions.

After the fall of Nanjing, Zhu Yihai, the Prince of Lu, declared himself regent in Zhejiang. He established a court in Shaoxing and attempted to rally Ming loyalists against the Qing advance.

Zhu Yihai's regency clashed with the claim of Zhu Yujian, the Longwu Emperor, in Fujian. The two rival Southern Ming courts refused to cooperate, weakening the resistance against the Qing.

Qing forces captured Shaoxing, forcing Zhu Yihai to flee by sea to Zhoushan Island. He continued to resist from the island with a small fleet, but his power was greatly diminished.

Zhu Yihai died on Taiwan after fleeing there following the fall of Zhoushan. He had sought refuge with Koxinga's forces, but his political influence had ended years earlier.
