In the fifteenth year of Yongli, it is difficult to curse the water.
All the officials of the Southern Ming Dynasty were slaughtered, and the Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang was hanged with a bowstring by Wu Sangui on Kunming's Zizipo. This marked the end of the Ming Dynasty in the 276th year of the reign of Zuo.
Countless fans of Ming history in later generations lamented: If Yongli had not fled all the way, if Nanming had not been internally strife, if loyalty had not ended with regrets, how could the Ming Dynasty have ended up like this?
When he opened his eyes again, a deep enthusiast of Ming history with an engineering background transformed into Zhu Youlang in the first month of the first year of Yongli.
At this time, he was sitting on a fleeing fishing boat in the Xijiang River. Less than a hundred days after he ascended the throne, the city of Guangzhou was destroyed. Li Chengdong led the Qing army to pursue him along the river. Ten miles away, there were cavalry urging him to death.
All the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were urging him to flee westward, to go to Guilin, Nanning, Yunnan, and Myanmar, to re-enact the desperate path recorded in the history books.
No one expected that the emperor, who had been running away all his life, suddenly spoke.
"Pass my decree, all ships will turn around immediately."
"I, Emperor Yongli of the Ming Dynasty, will be on the Xijiang River today to fight to the death with the Qing army!"
"Anyone who escapes again will be killed!!!"
