At the end of the Ming Dynasty, a vision came from the sky - the sky split into a bloody sky, hanging high above the capital, which lasted day and night. This is not the work of ghosts and gods, but the "correcting eye" set by heaven: it illuminates the power and money transactions of traitors when they were in power, exposed the ironclad evidence of traitors' collaboration with the enemy, and revealed the secret letters of traitors and the blood of Hou Jin's massacre. The case and the Qing court's wolfish ambition to seize the Central Plains were all made public; it also rectified the name of Zhonghun, etching Hai Rui's integrity, Qi Jiguang's courage, and Yu Qian's sincerity in asking for orders for the people, into the hearts of all people.
Under the canopy, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian suddenly realized that the former jealous and suspicious emperor was now using the "Way of Heaven" to establish power and reform - he used the canopy as a sword to kill the remnants of the eunuch party, and used the canopy as a scale to balance the party struggle. He also used the canopy as a recommendation letter to make an exception and appointed Yuan Chonghuan to guard Liaodong, Sun Chuanting to train new soldiers, and Lu Xiangsheng to save the crisis. The rectification of officialdom is like scraping bones to cure poison, the fiscal reform is like increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, and the reform of military system is like tempering and forging an edge. The "Way of Heaven" has become an invisible endorsement for him to implement the New Deal.
In the past ten years, the Ming Dynasty cultivated both internally and externally: internally, it purged traitors, reorganized the army, and externally, it united with the peasant army (to recruit Li Zicheng) and relied on local armed forces (Qin Liangyu's cavalry and Zuo Liangyu's powerful army) to form an iron wall. Finally, the decisive battle of Songjin broke out - the Ming army waited for work and wiped out the main force of the Qing army. Dorgon was defeated and died, and the Later Jin regime collapsed.
When the last Qing Dynasty flag was burned in the battlefield of Liaodong, Chongzhen stood at the head of the Forbidden City, looking at the prototype of the prosperous age under the clear sky, and said softly: "The way of heaven is clear, and the people's heart is God's will." Since then, the "Rule of Zhaoming" has begun, and the Ming Dynasty has finally embarked on a path of rebirth amidst the ups and downs.
