Great Ming: I, Chongzhen, Am the Greatest Emperor Under Heaven

"If I die, I will have no face to meet my ancestors in the underworld. I shall remove my crown and cover my face with my hair. Let the bandits tear my body apart, but do not harm a single commoner!"

Zhu Youjian crossed several centuries and transmigrated into the Chongzhen Emperor, determined to save the collapsing dynasty.

The Great Ming lacks money, so I will promote commerce, lift the ban on maritime trade, and build a maritime empire, fighting my way to survival.

The Great Ming lacks food, so I will promote potatoes and corn and establish colonies overseas to grow food for my people.

If the Donglin faction gets in my way, I'll use the eunuch faction to kill them.

Resist commercial taxes? Kill them!

We lack famous generals? I'll summon them as soon as I ascend the throne, make gunpowder, train elite troops, and kill rebels and traitors.

Too many refugees? Those who submit will live; those who rebel will die!

Colonize overseas, kill the barbarians, and fight my way to a broad and open road.

I have returned from five hundred years in the future. I will become the greatest emperor under heaven, break through the encirclement, and carve out a golden age that will last a thousand years.
