Ten Days

In 1645, the second year of Shunzhi and the first year of Hongguang in the Southern Ming Dynasty, Duduo, Prince of Henan in the Qing Dynasty, led his army to besiege Yangzhou. Shi Kefa, the governor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, led his troops and civilians to defend the isolated city and refused to surrender to Duduo. Finally, he was isolated and helpless and died for his country on April 25 after the city was destroyed. Duduo ordered the massacre of the city for ten days on the grounds that he "did not obey the call to surrender", which was known as the "Yangzhou Ten Days" in history. The Qing army burned, killed and looted, turning prosperous Yangzhou into a hell on earth, with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood. In this troubled world, how should Zhao Yuhua survive?
