Reborn as the Chongzhen Emperor: From the Start, I Choose Rebellion

He transmigrates to the late Ming Dynasty and becomes Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, the newly enthroned final emperor of the Ming.

Seventeen years later, the Ming Dynasty falls, and Zhu Youjian hangs himself at Coal Hill.

To escape this fate, he has no choice but to save himself.

Beyond the passes, the Jianzhou Jurchens grow powerful and establish the Later Jin Eight Banners, threatening the dynasty's survival.

The Liaodong military clans have grown too powerful to control, the local garrisons are hopelessly rotten, and the Ming army is utterly incapable of fighting.

Local wealthy clans pay no taxes, while Shanxi merchants collude with the Jianzhou Jurchens.

The Donglin Party and corrupt officials are in league with one another, while court factions fight without end.

By now, the Ming has rotted from the roots up.

Luckily, the sign-in System activates.

"Ding! You signed in and received ten thousand Qin elite death soldiers."

"Ding! You signed in and received ten thousand tons of Master Kang instant noodles."

"Ding! You signed in and received ten thousand titanium alloy suits of armor."

Zhu Youjian waves his hand. To hell with this Ming Dynasty! He'll start farming anew, raise an army of a million, and sweep across the world.
