When the spark of modern scientific and technological civilization fell into the abyss of decay and decadence in the late Southern Song Dynasty, a university professor named Zhou Chengjun became the first light to tear through the darkness.
Reborn into a wealthy businessman's family in the south of the Yangtze River, he relied on his astonishing wisdom to improve winemaking, sugar refining, looms, and agricultural methods, and he wielded the power of firearms.
I wanted to spend this "corrupt" life leisurely surrounded by beauty, but I was guilty of having a jade. Traitors, Tartars, tyrants, and greedy eyes intertwined into a web. A conspiracy, although Zhou Chengjun counterattacked, eventually led to tragic disasters - the father died and the family was ruined, and the beauty's father also set himself on fire and died.
In the midst of blood and tears, Zhou Chengjun escaped into the mountains of Yuzhou with his mother, his beloved Su Miaozhen, the noble Xixia girl whose life experience was a mystery, and the loyal tribesmen. Under the pseudonym "Liu Juncheng", he recast his roots in Bibo Gorge and Feipu Valley. This is not a retreat from the world, but a hibernation before a prairie fire! He established efficient workshops, established a new army, and developed epoch-making weapons; he reformed agriculture, embraced refugees, and provided work-relief services; he founded the "Spark Society" and wrote "New Strategies for Governing the World," holding high the astonishing ideals of "equality in education, equal opportunity, and equality under the law" and igniting the hearts of people with lofty ideals.
But the undercurrent never stops. The sharp claws of the "Night Owl" follow like a shadow, the Meng Yuan cavalry has broken through Jinghu Lake, Xiangyang is besieged, and the sky is full of blood and fire! Faced with the critical situation of ruining his country and his family, Zhou Chengjun knew that any chance of peace would be in vain.
The strength he has accumulated is no longer just for self-preservation!
