The protagonist, Lin Yun, was originally a modern martial arts novel enthusiast. An accident caused him to travel to the world of Water Margin. Although Lin Yun was frightened when he first arrived in a strange place, he quickly settled down with his understanding of history and his own wisdom.
By chance, he met Lu Da, Yang Zhi and Cao Zheng. They hit it off and decided to establish a base in Erlong Mountain. They are well aware of the hardships of farmers, so they carry out rural land reform so that farmers can have fields to cultivate and food to eat. At the same time, Lin Yun proposed a sixteen-character policy to improve military discipline and make the troops more disciplined.
In order to strengthen their strength, they improved the production technology of salt and wine, which sold well all over the country and accumulated a lot of wealth. A complete intelligence network has also been established to train many outposts and intelligence personnel for Erlong Mountain.
As their power continued to grow, they took control of Shandong, Damingfu and other places in the mid-term. Lin Yun established thirteen agencies of the new government: the Inspection Bureau to supervise officials, the Craftsman Department to develop technology, the Upper and Lower Houses to listen to public opinion, the Private Affairs Department to encourage business, the Local Construction Bureau to improve people's livelihood, the Civil Service Reform Bureau to reform the land system, the Party Congress Building to become a decision-making center, the Basic Party School to cultivate talents, and the Army Training Base to train elites.
At this time, they were able to compete with the Song Dynasty and divide the world into two.
In the later period, Lin Yun led everyone to conquer the Song Dynasty, Dali, and Xixia, and became the overlord of the Central Plains. However, the situation in the north was still chaotic, and disputes between Liao and Jin continued. Lin Yun intervened and skillfully controlled all the forces in the grassland. At the same time, he overhauled railways across the country, invented the train, and strengthened his control over local areas.
