It seems like what happened. But the family name of Zhu still sticks. But at the least particulary sharp people could probably point it out and chuckle as a joke and no one would care.

What I find amusing is that our modern-day Mings have even managed to get office in modern China. There's one that served as vice-premier a fair bit before serving as the country's fifth premier.
