At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Beijing was invaded by a rebel army led by Li Zicheng. At that time, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself. Later, Li Zicheng copied the minister's house. At that time, Wu Sangui's concubine Chen Yuanyuan was occupied by Li Zicheng's general Liu Zongmin. Wu Sangui surrendered to the Qing Dynasty after learning about this incident, and opened Shanhaiguan, so that the Qing army could enter the customs. Since then, the Qing Dynasty has ruled the Central Plains. So as a Han Chinese, if he was born in the late Ming Dynasty, would he swear to defend the Ming Dynasty or take refuge in the Manchu Dynasty? If I had been born in that era, I would definitely defend the Ming Dynasty to the death, because at that time, the Qing army was very cruel after entering the customs, and many people died. The Qing Dynasty was a foreign country. In order to defend my own country, of course I have to defend the Ming Dynasty.

If I lived in the late Ming Dynasty, I would defend it to the death. After the Qing army entered Shanhaiguan under the leadership of Wu Sangui, although the Qing Dynasty was very kind to the Ming officials and the landlord class at that time, it was not friendly to ordinary people. Qing dynasty indulged soldiers in burning, killing and looting common people. Southerners were unwilling to surrender at that time. After the Qing army occupied the city, it adopted the strategy of killing the city. If I live in the late Ming dynasty, I must defend the Ming dynasty to the death, so that I can live, so that I can have a chance to live.

2. If I lived in the late Ming Dynasty and foreigners were not allowed to enter the Central Plains, I would defend the Ming Dynasty to the death. The ruling class of the Qing Dynasty was Manchu, which was very unfriendly to the Han people after entering the customs. In Qing dynasty, Manchu was superior to Han nationality, and they had many privileges. As a Han Chinese, if I live in the late Ming Dynasty, I absolutely don't want foreigners to rule myself or enter the Central Plains to occupy great rivers and mountains, so I will defend the Ming Dynasty to the death and not take refuge in the Manchu Dynasty.

If I lived in the late Ming Dynasty, I would defend the Ming Dynasty to the death for my dignity. After entering the customs, in order to maintain its rule, the Qing army asked people at that time to shave their hair and change clothes, abandoned the ethics of the Han people and adopted a high-handed policy toward the Han people. If you don't shave your head, you will lose your head, or you will die if you don't accept their rule, because you are afraid of death and surrender, which is very undignified. If I lived in the late Ming Dynasty, I would defend the Ming Dynasty to the death for my dignity and never surrender to the Manchu Dynasty.

If you lived in the late Ming Dynasty, what choice would you make? Please leave a message for discussion.
