tensa zangetsu [6.8K]4 years ago
5 0

The British army had captured the city of Philadelphia (September 1777), which was the de facto capital of the rebellious colonies. General George Washington tried to liberate the city but to no avail and had to retreat to Valley Forge where his army wintered for six months. Due to a serious lack of supplies and the harsh weather, some 1700 to 2000 soldiers died of several diseases. However the Americans resisted and persevered and the next year, as the British retreated from Philadelphia, the Continental forces pursued them and fought them at the Battle of Monmouth.

Explanation:

Qing Dynasty

This dynasty was founded by the Manchurians of the Aisin Gioro clan, then adopted the procedures of the previous dynastic rule and merged into the Chinese entity itself.

The Ming Dynasty officially ended. Li Zicheng founded the Shun dynasty with Xi'an as the capital. Wu Sangui, the general of the Ming dynasty who guarded the Shanhai gate, refused to join Li Zicheng and asked the Manchu for help under the leadership of the prince guardian Duo'ergun. Only in 1664 did the Qing dynasty really take over all of mainland China.

Under the rule of Emperor Kangxi, the island of Taiwan was finally captured from the rest of the troops loyal to the Ming dynasty in 1683. At that time, Han people who did not obey these rules would face beheading.

During the Kangxi dynasty there were several loyal officials:

  • Wei Dong Ting
  • Wu Ci You
  • Zhou Pei Gong
  • Yao Qi Sheng
  • Li Guang Di
  • Su Ma La Gu
