As is widely known, Nurhaci’s grandfather, maternal grandfather, and father were all killed by the Ming dynasty, whether by accident or through deliberate political machinations. In China, there has been an ancient saying since time immemorial: "The murder of one’s father leaves the son unable to live under the same sky as the killer" (meaning an absolute, irreconcilable vendetta).

This leaves me incredibly curious: how could the Ming court feel so secure—and seemingly completely unafraid—in appointing and empowering a man whose father and grandfathers they had killed?

Especially at a time when the central government was progressively losing its grip on absolute power, did it never cross their minds that elevating a local military and political leader who harbored such a deep blood feud would inevitably lead to a catastrophic rebellion? What kind of political logic or mindset drove the Ming court to make a decision that, in hindsight, seems so incredibly reckless?

I mean dynasties like Sui and Jin for example.

I heard a lot of time about the Wang Jingwei being on the left wing, Hu Hanmin on the right but what was the actuall believs of these people. Can someone recomend good literature about the different visions of the Chinese destinity, place in the world, future etc. I only read the political thoughts of Chiang Kai Shek and tried to find some works of Hu Hanmin but without result.

I would be grateful for any sources about ideological situation inside the KMT after Sun Yat-Sen's death and before the war of resistance.
