It is the evening of the eighteenth day of the third month in the seventeenth year of the Chongzhen reign. The fall of Beijing and his hanging on Coal Hill are less than twelve hours away. Run? There's nowhere to go. Li Zicheng's four-hundred-thousand-strong army surrounds the city, and the route south has long been cut off. Surrender? He cannot. The empire of his ancestors, its 276 years of rule, must not end in his hands. Fight? With what?
