About This Novel
Just like an old tree that has lost its body and is hit by a violent storm, entering 1627, the Ming Dynasty became even more precarious. Since the beginning of the year, almost no good news has been introduced into the palace. Numerous uprisings have broken out in Shaanxi and Guangxi and other places. Starving farmers rushed into farms and killed property owners, even the officers and soldiers sent to suppress them. Along the southeast coast, pirates of unknown nationality continued to harass and attack; in Liaodong, which was also the imperial capital. In the country's most troublesome area, the Manchus successfully completed an attack on the Ming Dynasty's troops stationed in Korea, and then unilaterally tore up the armistice agreement reached with Yuan Chonghuan, the Liaodong manager, and put pressure on Ningyuan and other strategic strongholds west of the Liao River. Yuan Chonghuan had to resign in the autumn of this year amid internal and external attacks.
