About This Novel

The demise of Ming Dynasty was an acute myocardial infarction. It did not die of old age, was not directly attacked by the Qing army, nor was it overthrown by Li Zicheng's peasant army. Five fatal blood clots-tax rupture, silver famine, border collapse, natural disaster, and plague-simultaneously blocked all the empire's arteries on March 19, 1644. This is not a dirge of national subjugation, but an analysis report on the collapse of the system.
