Great Ming: Three Years Guarding the Pass, Starting with the Tumu Crisis

Yu Yi transmigrates to the Ming Dynasty and becomes Yu Qian's second son, stationed at Jiming Post, one of the three great fortresses north of the capital.

Knowing history, he realizes that the Tumu Crisis is only three years away.

In the fourteenth year of the Zhengtong reign, he submits three memorials to the court, urging them to stop the emperor from leading a campaign in person.

But the emperor insists on having his way. Ignoring all advice, he leads the army himself and is surrounded at Tumu Fortress.

Yu Yi had planned to go with the flow and stay out of it, until he saw men across the land of China standing firm and ready to die for their country.

That night, he leads the one thousand Black Armored troops he earned through sign-in west out of Jiming Post, racing straight for Tumu Fortress to save the collapsing empire!

I believe that in the long river of five thousand years of history, beneath the overwhelming might of heaven, there will always be one or two men who stand tall!
