I woke up to find myself the most powerful king in history, with every one of my underlings a prince. We’ve been on a killing spree, a total killing spree. I’ve got two kings and four twos in my hand. This time, I’m turning the tables against all odds. “We finally captured a county town, so now it’s time to reward the troops. If it were up to me, we’d march all the way to Beijing, then take the throne and secure our rule. But I have a traitor in my ranks who insists on disagreeing: Yang Xiuqing, the charcoal-burning king I mentioned earlier. He argues that we should attack Nanjing first, then hold the Qing court at bay across the river and secure half the realm! I’d love to chop his head off, but when I think of how I’ll need them to win me an empire, I’ll let it slide for now!”
