If you are interested in the history of Nanming, please take a look at the Brief Introduction of Nanming as a reference. If we want to grasp this history as a whole, we strongly recommend Gu Cheng's History of Nan Ming.

I have read it three times, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is the most objective and rigorous book about the history of Nanming. Generally speaking, the downfall of Nanming was entirely due to the contradictions within the court of Nanming, not the powerful forces of the Qing army. Suggest the landlord to have a look.
