Sky Curtain: The opening scene explains the four major cases of the Ming Dynasty plus the early Ming

"A sinner in history!"

These four words, like four invisible mountains, crashed down, completely crushing the pitiful imperial dignity of Kangxi and Qianlong into dust!

Everything they were so proud of was ruthlessly torn away by Judy Jun, revealing its filthiest and bloodiest interior.

The so-called "Kangxi and Qianlong Prosperity" was not a golden age for China, but rather a spiritual and physical shackle imposed on all ethnic groups across the Chinese land by the Aisin Gioro clan, these wild boars, in collusion with the Khazars, in order to consolidate their rule!

Emperor Kangxi slumped on his throne, his eyes vacant, muttering repeatedly:

"A sinner... I am a sinner..."

"No, I am not from the Central Plains, this is the right thing to do!"

Kang Youwei didn't think he was wrong; rather, he realized that his rule was about to collapse.

Everything was filled with hypocrisy and irony.

Qianlong was ashen-faced. He finally understood why the national tragedy that lasted for fourteen years would happen in later generations, and why his unworthy descendant Puyi would do the shameful thing of recognizing a thief as his father. They never considered themselves Chinese, but rather foreign rulers who ruled the Central Plains. Naturally, they didn't care what the people of the Central Plains thought. But they wanted to rule for a longer period of time. Who knew it would turn out like this?

Everything was fine until now. It's all that damned Tianmu's fault, and all that damned descendant of Zhu Di, Zhu Dijun!

The emperors of other timelines no longer looked at the Qing Dynasty with simple anger, but with a deeper sense of vigilance and disdain.

In the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng's eyes were icy cold.

"Using harsh laws to suppress public opinion and consolidating power by keeping the people ignorant is the path to national ruin!"

"However, its most hateful aspect is not its cruel laws or its ignorance of the people, but that it is done by people of a different race!"

"This is not governing a country, this is genocide!"

Emperor Taizong of Tang sighed deeply.

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. I often reflect on this."

"This mite-removing agent, however, drains the water, thinking the boat is stable. Little does it know that a boat without water is already rotten, and it will capsize as soon as an external force pushes it."

His words expressed the sentiments of everyone.

A nation that has lost its spirit and soul, no matter how "prosperous" it may appear, is nothing more than a castle on the beach.

Zhu Dijun's voice rang out again, this time targeting the pig-head statues of those traitors.

"However, what is more tragic than a foreign invasion?"

"It's betrayal!"

He walked up to the pig's head that was engraved with "Hong Chengchou".

Hong Chengchou, Governor-General of Jiliao during the Ming Dynasty, was defeated and captured in the Battle of Songjin.

"Emperor Chongzhen believed he had died for his country, so he set up an altar to offer sacrifices, 'composing a eulogy and personally attending the ceremony.' What an extraordinary favor this was!"

"But what about him?"

Zhu Dijun's tone was full of sarcasm.

"Not only did he surrender, but he also devised a plan for Mite Clear, offering a 'conquer the world' ruthless scheme!"

"He even personally led troops south to attack his own homeland and slaughter his own people!"

On the sky, an image appeared of Emperor Chongzhen writing in blood on his clothes before hanging himself on Coal Hill.

"When I die, I have no face to meet my ancestors in the underworld. Remove your crown and cover your face with your hair. Let the rebels tear my body apart, but do not harm a single commoner."

The contrast between the two is truly devastating!

One was the Han emperor who, despite the fall of his country and the loss of his family, still cared deeply for the people.

One was a traitor who received the country's favor but betrayed his country for personal gain and turned around to slaughter his compatriots!

"Utterly shameless!"

In the Ming Dynasty, countless civil and military officials cursed and swore!

Especially the Chongzhen era.

Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, looked at the sky and wept uncontrollably. He was not crying for himself, but for the wrong person he had entrusted with the throne, and for the country that had been lost in the hands of such a shameless villain!

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he trembled all over.

"Lingchi! This traitor should be executed by lingchi, and his entire family should be exterminated!"

"No! Exterminate his entire clan! Kill his teachers and disciples as well!"

The murderous aura of this commoner emperor almost burst forth from the sky.

Zhu Dijun then looked at Fan Wencheng's pig head.

"This man is the epitome of a traitor!"

"He voluntarily pledged allegiance to Nurhaci and laid out almost all of the Qing dynasty's strategies for invading the Ming and its policies for governing the Han people."

"It's said that he played a part in the 'keep your hair, lose your head' scheme!"

"He taught the Qing rulers to 'use Han people to control Han people,' using a group of lackeys like himself to manage and exploit millions of Han compatriots."

"These people are far more despicable than those boars! Because the boars' ferocity is written all over their faces. And their betrayal is like a poisoned dagger plunged into the back of their own people!"

"For their own wealth and glory, they willingly became the dogs of a foreign race, biting their own compatriots!"

"They are the greatest disgrace in the history of China!"

These words plunged all of space and time into silence.

External enemies are terrifying, but traitors within our own ranks are even more chilling!

It was precisely because of the existence of these people that the rule of the "wild boar skin" was able to be consolidated so quickly.

Just then, Zhu Dijun changed the subject, drawing everyone's attention back to the four words "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom".

"but!"

"Even in that humiliating era when everyone was silenced, and everyone's edges were smoothed out, their heads were shaved, and they grew money-tailed pigs."

"Deep in the blood of the Chinese people, that spirit of resistance has never been extinguished!"

"When someone kneels down, someone else will surely stand up!"

"And so, after nearly two centuries of this evil rule represented by these pig heads, a storm that swept across the land finally erupted!"

Zhu Dijun's voice became passionate again!

"In 1851, in Jintian Village, Guangxi, a Hakka scholar named Hong Xiuquan raised his arms and rallied the people!"

"He shouted the slogan 'Expel the Tartars, restore China,' and established the 'Taiping Heavenly Kingdom'!"

"This is the loudest roar of the Chinese people against these foreign rulers after two hundred years of silence!"

The scene changes on the sky.

A group of ragged, emaciated farmers put down their hoes and picked up crude knives and guns.

They cut off their humiliating braids, wrapped their heads in red cloth, and their eyes burned with the flames of revenge and hope!

They marched north from a corner of Guangxi, advancing with unstoppable momentum!

Countless oppressed people joined their ranks.

This rebel army grew like a snowball, and eventually they captured Nanjing!

"In 1853, the Taiping Army captured Jiangning, which is what you know as Jinling or Yingtianfu!"

"They renamed this place 'Tianjing' and designated it as their capital!"

"The first thing they did was order all soldiers and civilians in the city to cut off their queues and grow their hair long!"

"What they want to restore is not just a city, but the clothing and dignity that the sons of Han have lost for two hundred years!"

In the scene, within the capital city of Tianjing, countless people wept with joy, cutting off each other's ugly braids.

An old man, stroking the top of his head where his short hair had just grown out, faced the sky, tears streaming down his face, and knelt down for a long time!

This scene deeply stung all the Han emperors of all eras!

They seemed to see their descendants, who had been enslaved for two hundred years, finally standing tall!

"Okay! Okay!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up excitedly and slammed his fist on the table.

"Expel the Tartars, restore China! This slogan is one we used back in the day!"

"These young men are brave! They are true sons of the Han people!"

At this moment, he felt a strong sense of identification and anticipation for this "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" that he had never met before!
