Biography
After Zhu Yousong was defeated, Zhu Hengjia declared himself as Regent (監國) at Guangxi under support of Yang Guowei (楊國威), General soldiers of Guangxi, officer Gu Yi (顧奕) and the others.
After Qu Shisi (瞿式耜) knew he had been arrogated as regent, he ordered the officials of Guangxi not to obey his orders and ordered a general named Chen Bangzhuan (陳邦傅) to defend him. As Qu Shisi disobeyed Zhu Hengjia, Zhu went to Wuzhou to capture Qu and arrest him at Guilin.
At the same time, Zhu Yujian has been enthroned as Longwu Emperor, and Qu Shisi ordered his men to congratulate him and requested Zhu Yujian to seize Zhu Hengjia. After Ding Kuichu (丁魁楚) attacked Wuzhou, Zhu Hengjia escaped to Guilin. Then, Zhu released Qu Shisi and hoped that Qu would help him. However, Qu Shisi captured Zhu. Later, Zhu Hengjia was escorted to Fujian and killed.
