When Emperor Shun ascended the throne, he was too young, only seven years old, and the power of the imperial court was concentrated on the regent Dolyan.

Dor Yan already had the intention of conquering the Central Plains, and wanted to establish a meritorious deed in his hands, and had fulfilled his father's unfinished wish to enter the Central Plains.

However, he was suspicious, and the virtuous generals could not gain a foothold in the imperial court at all, so he replaced more than a dozen prime ministers in a row, and then killed the Ming general Yuan Chonghuan, who was surrounded by some treacherous villains, and the overall situation of the collapse of the Ming Dynasty had been decided.

Chen Yuanyuan, the concubine of the famous Ming general Wu Sansi, was also taken captive by the rebel generals. Wu Sangui was originally a snob and was accustomed to seeing the wind and making the rudder. He saw that the ming dynasty had gone, and Li Zicheng established himself as the Emperor of Dashun, and originally wanted to defect to Li Zicheng to consolidate his strength. After Li Zicheng's victory, he grew a sense of pride, did not look at Wu Sangui in the eyes, raided his home, detained his father, and kidnapped his concubine.

Wu Sangui, who was originally in the twilight of the dynasty, "rushed the crown and became angry with a red face", and finally defected to the Manchu Qing and used the Qing forces to eliminate Li Zicheng.

Dor was ecstatic when he heard the news, thinking that the time was ripe to fulfill his wish for many years. At this time, the internal war in the Central Plains was raging, and Li Zicheng was undecided, so Duo'er Yan quickly united with Wu Sangui's troops and entered Shanhaiguan, and in just a few days, he hit the capital and drove Li Zicheng away. Dor Yanzhi triumphantly ascended to the Golden Ruan Treasure Hall, laying the foundation for the Manchu Qing occupation of the Central Plains.

【Notes】:

This refers to grabbing things when people are on fire. Now the parable is taking advantage of the danger of people and fishing for a hand. Take advantage of people's dangers for personal gain. The metaphor is to invade the rights and interests of others when tension is critical.
