Nanming Will Not Perish

"The Southern Ming Dynasty" is a fictional historical novel that tells the story of Zheng Chenggong's naval invasion of the Yangtze River in 1659 and the confrontation with the Qing army across the river. Nanming controlled nine provinces south of the Yangtze River, established a parliamentary cabinet system, abolished the emperor, and established a regent to govern the country. Faced with the pressure from the Qing Dynasty in the north to join forces with Prussia to train a new army, Nanming chose to join forces with Britain to introduce technology and train new troops under equal conditions. After the death of Zheng Chenggong, his son Zheng Jing succeeded him and implemented the New Deal: clearing land and cracking down on powerful powerful people, setting up factories to develop industry and commerce, establishing banks to issue loans, opening military armament schools to train officers, and building self-owned arsenals to make guns and cannons. At the same time, the power struggle within the Qing court was fierce, and the young emperor Xuanye grew up in the struggle between powerful ministers. While the Southern Ming Dynasty was reorganizing its military and developing internal affairs, it was also paying close attention to the changes in the north. At the same time, it was dealing with internal challenges such as salt merchants' strikes and powerful forces resisting the law, laying the groundwork for the future. The novel takes the Southern Ming Dynasty as the main perspective, showing the three-hundred-year history of the rise and fall of a southern regime that struggled to survive in the cracks and strive for self-improvement. The core is the national narrative of "never ceding territory, never losing power, and relying on change to survive."
