Dodo was appointed Prince of Yu by the Shunzhi Emperor for his role in the conquest of Beijing and the pursuit of Li Zicheng. This title elevated him among the Manchu nobility and recognized his military achievements.

Prince Dodo led Qing forces to capture Nanjing, the southern Ming capital. The city fell after a brief siege, and the Hongguang Emperor was captured. This victory solidified Qing control over the Yangtze River valley and destroyed the first Southern Ming regime.

Dodo's forces besieged Yangzhou, defended by Ming loyalist Shi Kefa. After a week-long siege, the city fell, and Dodo ordered a massacre that killed an estimated 800,000 civilians. This atrocity terrorized the region and broke Ming resistance in the south.

After capturing Nanjing, Dodo pursued and captured the Hongguang Emperor, ending the first Southern Ming regime. He then pacified Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, executing Ming loyalists and consolidating Qing rule in southern China.
