Synopsis

On the eve of Li Zicheng's capture of Beijing, the Chongzhen Emperor fled west. Beijing fell, the north was lost, the treasury was empty, and the army's morale collapsed. The Southern Ming court was already taking shape in Nanjing. The Chongzhen Emperor transforms from a stubborn, self-willed ruler into a pragmatic and patient leader, rebuilding his ability to govern in the face of despair.
