The Sun and the Moon Shine Together and Revive

AD 1644, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen. On March 19, the city of Beijing was destroyed. On top of the Meishan Mountain, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself and died for his country. The national destiny of the Ming Dynasty for 276 years seemed to be cut off. However, in the deepest part of the imperial city, a secret decree that no one knew about was quietly passed down. "The prince must not die, and the Ming Dynasty cannot be destroyed." The dead soldiers of the Jinyi Guards, the remnants of the Forbidden Army, and the old officials of the East Palace escorted the crown prince Zhu Cixiang to break out of the encirclement in a bloody battle, and headed south from Beijing to Nanjing. Along the way, Li Zicheng was pursued by soldiers, Manchu cavalry, local rebels, powerful gentry, and factional strife in the court... Everyone in the world wanted to decide the fate of this young prince. Accompanying him was only an unknown maid from the East Palace - Su Qingwan. She has no stunning appearance, no peerless martial arts, and no prophetic wisdom. She was just an ordinary woman who always stood behind him in troubled times. And this journey south is more than just an escape. It will be the beginning of Ming Dynasty's re-emergence. He ascended the throne in Nanjing and reorganized the imperial court; he made a northern expedition to the Central Plains and expelled the Manchus; he developed industry and commerce, established new schools, and rebuilt the military system; he opened up maritime territories and traveled across Europe and Asia; and finally established a sun-moon empire that spanned the Eurasian continent and conquered the four seas. This is not a story about a time traveler changing history. It is a legend of a dynasty that was originally destined to perish, but with the joint efforts of countless loyal ministers, good generals, and ordinary people, it rekindled the flames of civilization. When the history books of later generations turned this page, only this comment was left: "When the sun sets on Meishan, the Ming Dynasty is still alive; when the sun rises on Nanjing, all nations come to court."
