The Thief of Qing

In 1644, Li Zicheng captured Beijing and became a self-made emperor; Wu Sangui sided with the Manchus and became Prince of Pingxi; Dorgon marched south of the Yangtze, imposed queues and Manchu dress, and became regent…

The land is in turmoil, calamity stems from the court, and the Ming emperor is incompetent. The Ming dynasty is to be mourned.

A son of Han picks up his pen to secure the realm. With heaven and earth made clear, the Qing must be overthrown.

Whether they are Qing dogs or traitorous sons of Han, we endure humiliation and bear burdens only in the hope that the sons of Han will never again be slaves.

Thus Qin Shi sets out on a different path to restore the Ming, giving voice to the mightiest declaration of the age: “What can the Qing possibly do to me? I have little Kangxi in my hands. Who could I possibly fear?”
