This is a magnificent history of the rise and fall of dynasties. It all started with Nurhachi, whose grandfather and father died tragically at the hands of the Ming army, and the seeds of hatred were sown in his heart. He held the thirteen pieces of armor tightly, and with full of anger and firm belief, he embarked on the road of revenge and rise.
Nurhaci relied on his extraordinary strategy and heroic combat to gradually integrate the Jurchen tribes. Created the Niu Record System, which later developed into the Eight Banners System, making the army of the Later Jin Dynasty as solid as steel. In the Battle of Saarhu, a small number defeated a large number, establishing Hou Jin's dominance in Liaodong. Since then, the Hou Jin Dynasty has continued to expand, and the confrontation with the Ming Dynasty has become increasingly fierce.
However, the road to power is full of thorns and challenges. Continuous internal power struggles, the split of Shuerhaqi, and the imprisonment of Chu Ying all caused Hou Jin to experience many crises. However, under the leadership of rulers such as Huang Taiji, the Later Jin Dynasty continued to develop and grow, and finally successfully entered the Pass and established the Qing Dynasty.
The early Qing Dynasty ushered in the glory of Kangxi and Qianlong. But with the changes of the times and the invasion of Western powers, the Qing Dynasty gradually declined. A series of defeats such as the Opium War and the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1896 put the Qing Dynasty into a dilemma of internal and external troubles. Finally, the outbreak of the Revolution of 1911 ended the rule of the Qing Dynasty.
From the rise of the Thirteen Relics to the fall of the Qing Dynasty, this period of history has witnessed the legend and rise and fall of a dynasty.
