The spring of 1644 came very late. In mid-March, Beijing was still full of wind, heavy snow, and bad news. In this snowy spring, the capital fell, Chongzhen committed suicide to martyr his country, and the dignitaries in the capital wailed because their property was confiscated. Soon after, "the six armies were mourning for their lack of talent, and the anger turned into a beauty." For Chen Yuanyuan, who almost married into the Rugao Water Painting Garden and became a rich man, a generation of heroic general Wu Sangui did not hesitate to abandon his moral integrity and angrily surrendered to the Qing army. He fought with Li Zicheng in a decisive battle at Shanhaiguan. The short-lived Dashun regime was soon overthrown, and the Qing Dynasty took over the Central Plains and began a 267-year rule. China's history has turned a new page.
