《Late Ming》Update Version v1.2.25: "The Qing Army Knocks at the Gate"

First of all, I owe you an apology. It has been three weeks since the last update, and I know the wait has been frustrating.

After launching the game, I realized I was too optimistic about my development speed. This is my first game, and while I wanted to do everything perfectly, I encountered many unexpected problems. I don't want this to be a project that starts with a bang but ends with a whimper. During this "silent" period, I have been doing my best to improve the completion of "Late Ming: Rebirth of Desire" to be worthy of the over 10,000 players who supported me.

Thank you again for your patience. Here is the changelog for v1.2.25:
