The city of Jiangning was destroyed, his father died in battle, and his whole family was separated.
Lu Weicheng was originally Lu Jianying's least valued bastard. Because his brother-in-law did not dare to engage in foreign affairs, he was treated as an abandoned son and sent to Shanghai and Hong Kong to learn the Yi language, practice firearms, and cut off braids. He became the most dishonorable member of the Lu family.
Who would have thought that on the night when the city was broken, all the loyal ministers and righteous men in the city died and fled, but it was this bastard who was "the least like a Qing Dynasty" who survived the bloody sea of corpses in Jiangning with his broken braid and Western learning skills.
From then on, he was no longer the concubine of the Lu family, but the most dangerous pawn in troubled times.
The Qing army used him as a sword, the Hunan army feared his talent, foreigners thought he knew the rules, and local powerful people wanted to use him to protect their family business. Even Shi Dakai, the wing king of the Taiping Army, looked at this young man with foreign artillery, city defense knowledge, and no pigtails in a different light.
He originally just wanted to return to Jiangning, collect his father's body, and avenge his family.
But in the end, he discovered that the reason why Jiangning was broken down and the people suffered was not just because the Taiping Army entered the city, but because the whole world was already rotten.
Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty could not defend the country and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could not save the people, then why couldn't he take the throne in this world?
This is the story of a concubine who went from abandoning his son to becoming a hero, from revenge to fighting for hegemony, from seizing a city to building a country.
In troubled times, fighting for the dragon, Jiangning raised troops, and the world was overturned, and this began.
