Daming: I Am Not the King of Subjugation

Zhu Mingye traveled to the Meishan Mountain in Beijing in 1644. In front of him were Emperor Chongzhen who had just hanged himself, and Wang Chengen, the eunuch who was about to die. Wang Chengen, who was originally despairing, suddenly discovered that the appearance and figure of Zhu Mingye in front of him was exactly the same as Chongzhen. Wang Chengen believed that this was God's will and the last glimmer of hope left by God for the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Mingye disagreed: it was not for the Ming Dynasty, but for the Han Dynasty. At the same time, although the south still has half of the country, the situation is unclear; Wu Sangui of Shanhaiguan is about to fall to the Qing army amid hesitation; and the Jianlu outside the pass will never let go of this golden opportunity to enter the pass. Zhu Mingye knows better than anyone else that the true demise of the Ming Dynasty lies in every choice made after today. A dynasty that was already in ruins suddenly had a possibility: pretending to be the emperor and rebuilding its orthodoxy. The first thing Zhu Mingye had to do was to leave the capital.
