1646: Countercurrent

In 1646, it had been two years since the fall of the Ming Dynasty. Twenty-four-year-old Shen Mingxuan stood at the top of Guilin City, waiting for another bad news - Emperor Longwu was killed in Tingzhou. In the past two years, he heard the news one after another about the death of Hongguang, the massacre in Yangzhou, the destruction of Jiangyin, and the massacre in Jiading, ranging from shock to anger, from anger to despair, and from despair to calm. Then he made a decision: he wouldn't wait any longer. He picked up his baggage, took four things with him - the sword given by Zheng Chenggong, the jade pendant given by Zhang Qingyi, Li Dingguo's letter, and his father's money, and headed west alone. When I went to Yunnan, I had neither official positions nor soldiers. I only had a chance encounter by the Li River eight years ago and the lonely courage of a young man. He wanted to persuade Li Dingguo, join forces with Zheng Chenggong, find Emperor Yongli, and crush these defeated soldiers into a knife. Some say the situation is over. He said: Then go upstream.
