In September of the fourth year of the Yongli reign, in order to completely defeat the Ming army under the Lu Regent system entrenched in the Zhoushan Islands, the Qing army first launched a campaign to suppress the anti-Qing forces in Siming Mountain, which were aligned with the Ming forces. In this battle, after defeating the main force of the local Ming army, the Qing army carried out a bloody campaign to cleanse the mountains. From then on, the Siming Mountain region, which had once experienced a population surge due to the ethnic oppression of the Manchus, was no longer able to organize large-scale anti-Qing armed forces. The fall of Siming Mountain directly led to the isolation and lack of support of the Ming army under the Lu Regent system in the Battle of Zhoushan a year later, as well as the complete collapse of the anti-Qing situation in Zhejiang. In July of the fourth year of the Yongli reign, time traveler Chen Wen unexpectedly appeared in this place.
