The Rise and Fall of the Great Ming

Like a sudden clap of thunder, Ye Zichen is unexpectedly reborn at the end of the Ming Dynasty. My fate is mine to decide, not Heaven’s. Since I’ve been reborn into these troubled times, I’m going to live well and enjoy the ride. The Ming Dynasty is now ravaged by plague and natural disasters, its government rotten to the core. Outside, the Jurchen cavalry of Jianzhou are sharpening their blades; inside, rebel armies spring up everywhere, killing officials and rising in revolt. Emperor Chongzhen exhausts himself trying to save the dynasty, while factions at court are busy fighting for power. Soldiers kill innocent people everywhere to claim credit, and the common saying is that bandits comb through a place like a comb, while soldiers rake through it like a fine-toothed comb. Watch as Ye Zichen ushers in a new age of seafaring in these troubled times, drives out the Western powers, brings peace to the people of the Ming, and builds a dream empire spanning the globe.
