Countdown to the Fall of the Ming Dynasty: I Have Thirteen Days Left

On the sixth day of March in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the emperor fell asleep in Qianqing Palace. When he woke up, he was in the body of a stranger with a glowing board in front of him. There is a line written on the board: On March 19, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the emperor hanged himself in Meishan. That was thirteen days later. From this night on, every time he fell asleep, he would switch bodies with a person named Chen Mo three hundred and eighty years later. Chen Mo found out how the Ming Dynasty died. On which day a pass is lost, which minister will open the city gate, and whose house the money is hidden. But history books only write about the results, not the reasons. The general soldier who was labeled a traitor by Secretary Shi was the only soldier who came to rescue him. The official who shouted loyalty to the king every day in the court was the first to greet King Chuang on the day the city was broken. Thirteen days. An empty city, fifty thousand tired soldiers, and an empty treasury. He didn't want to go to Meishan anymore.
