What are they protecting?

"We Koreans won't give up on the princess."
Dozens of Mongolian warriors with fat, fit and muscular faces chased after them with all kinds of weird hairstyles. On the other side are a few Goryeo warriors guarding the shabby and out-of-the-ordinary city wall, and a group of Ming Dynasty old, weak, sick and suffering from the war, but they are always actively dragging their feet. A contest with an extremely disparate balance of power. What are these Koreans still insisting on? Where does their motivation come from? What are they protecting?
This reminds me of a lot of unfortunate natural and man-made disasters in the Ming Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty. The Manchus entered the Central Plains relying on their horse and archery skills. Good guys, men shaved pigtails, women wore cheongsams, who would dare not to make it easy? On the surface, the attire has changed and everyone has adapted to the new trend. In fact, it is far more profound than these. Just pick a simple national costume. He has kimono and Arab people in Japan. Needless to say, don’t we also have Hanfu? Why is no one wearing it? A full suit for any occasion. Is that the dress of our ancestors? We have lost a lot of our traditional culture since the Qing Dynasty. In fact, from that time onwards, the Koreans began to think that they were the orthodox Chinese culture. In good conscience they did better than us at that time and they fought to the last minute. As a descendant of Yan and Huang, I always feel that we should stand up and do something.
