I, the Bandit Chief, Slay the Song Emperor and Found the Great Ming Early

Bandit chief Zhang Muzhi is reborn in the Northern Song dynasty.

On the eve of the Jingkang Humiliation, Emperor Qinzong orders a Taoist master to perform a ritual and summon heavenly soldiers to fight the Jin army.

The city falls anyway.

The emperor is led away like a sheep. Princesses and empresses are reduced to prostitutes, women are handed over as compensation, and the nation is humiliated and stripped of its sovereignty.

Zhang Muzhi falsely reports that the Jin are invading, frightening Zhao Gou into impotence.

Zhao Gou: "Exile him to Lingnan!"

Zhang Muzhi: "Your Majesty, exile to Lingnan isn't punishment enough. Why not send me to Qiongzhou Island in Hainan?"

Zhao Gou: "Then I'll grant your wish and exile you at once!"

Years later, Zhang Muzhi leads a fleet to attack the capital.

"Stand up! No kneeling!"

"With guns in hand, follow me! Kill Zhao, and establish the Great Ming!"

"I founded the Great Ming for only one reason: fairness, fairness, and more damn fairness."
