This day, 8 June, in 1645, Dodo (Prince Yu), 15th son of Later Jin Dynasty Founder Nurhaci (Emperor Taizu of Qing), led the Qing army to Nanjing, where the Minister of Rites of the Southern Ming Dynasty Qian Qianyi and others surrendered. Dodo would then reorganise the area by establishing Jiangnan Province, and form a complete bureaucratic system with Nanjing at its centre.
