In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen's reign, the rebel bandits breached the capital, and the Son of Heaven hanged himself for his country. Within, rebel chiefs and roving bandits seized the imperial seal; beyond the borders, northern invaders stirred up trouble. The nation lay in ruins, but its rivers and mountains endured...
