In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the building was about to collapse, and the Ming Dynasty was at the point of life and death. The palace is corrupt, the treasury is empty, bandits are everywhere, the Hou Jin in the north is eyeing him, and the gentry in the south is entrenched. But at this desperate moment, a modern soul accidentally crosses over and becomes the Chongzhen Emperor who is about to die.
He knew very well that in history, the Ming Dynasty ended in the 17th year of Chongzhen, and he would hang on the Meishan Mountain. But he is not willing to give in! He wanted to reorganize the government, eradicate corruption, reshape the tax system, and restore national strength; he wanted to transform the army, build an iron-blooded army, and use science and technology to enhance combat effectiveness; he wanted to quell civil strife, exterminate bandits, divide enemies, unite Mongolia, and disintegrate the Later Jin Dynasty. We must break the maritime ban, promote the development of industry and commerce, activate the Jiangnan economy, and move the Ming Dynasty towards modernization!
However, how can historical inertia be easily reversed? The constraints of the civil service group, the self-reliance tendency of military generals, the secret fight between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party, the interference of overseas forces... Faced with obstacles at all levels, how can he find a way out when he is besieged on all sides?
When the artillery fire in Liaodong sounds again, when the merchant ships in the south set sail, and when the Ming army's cavalry tramples on the enemy's land, can a brand new Ming Dynasty usher in a revival in his hands?
This is not only the struggle and struggle of an emperor, but also a contest about history, war, politics and reform. Let's see how modern time travelers rewrite their destiny and let the Ming Dynasty rise again!
