About This Novel
Why did the phenomenon of "Two Emperors in Two Hundred Miles" appear only in Nanming? Is the Ming general Shi Lang's surrender to the Qing Dynasty just a choice based on interests? Why did the Zheng family's army, which was so overwhelming in the early days of the Northern Expedition, end in failure? Why did the Dutch, who had strong ships and cannons, fall into a defensive battle? Did the Tokugawa shogunate lend troops to the Zheng family? This book uses Zheng Chenggong's life and official career as a clue to give a panoramic view of the turbulent times and dramatic changes in the eighteen years from 1644 to 1662. It vividly depicts many historical figures. Through in-depth restoration of major historical events, this book explores the complex factional relationships, overt and covert struggles in the Southern Ming Dynasty, as well as human choices under the balance of interests.
