Ming Dynasty: in the Seventeenth Year of Chongzhen, I Will Not Move South

In the 17th year of Chongzhen, on the day when the city was destroyed, Tang Ruowang, who was missionary in China, wrote in his "Chinese Missionaries": "Those eunuchs who have been surrounding the emperor with deceit and conspiracy until now have caused the emperor to not consider his own safety in a highly dangerous situation. This is not just due to negligence. There is another vicious conspiracy hidden in the hearts of these people, and they want their master to pass on the decree." At the moment Tang Ruowang wrote down, 78 days before the destruction of the country, Emperor Chongzhen Zhuang Sheng Mengdie. He saw the Ming Dynasty fall, saw China covered in dust for three hundred years, and saw strange people emerge to reorganize the country. Believing that Taizu was entrusted with a dream, he tried to change his character. He pardoned hundreds of officials in the court to stabilize people's hearts, took charge of the capital's guards, organized the capital's camp, accumulated food and grass, and trained a powerful army. After seventeen years of living without food and clothing, the civil and military officials of the entire court had a tacit understanding that they all planned to sacrifice the emperor to preserve their own wealth. Donglin advocated that the prince should move south and stay with the emperor to die for the country. The elders in the palace were afraid of being held responsible for abandoning the land, and the internal prisons secretly circulated thieves. The generals gathered their troops and watched, but no one really served the country. Let's see how Chongzhen remained calm, carried out extreme micro-management in March, liquidated the traitors inside and outside, and passed on the Chinese civilization.
