At the end of the Yuan dynasty, the people were plunged into misery. Chang Yuchun, a farm boy unwilling to accept his fate, relied on his sheer strength and courage to make his way among the outlaws in search of a worthy lord. When he first met Zhu Yuanzhang, he was met with suspicion. But at Caishi Rock, he charged into the enemy ranks alone, fighting like a thousand men and carving a path through them with his own flesh and blood. One battle made him a legend!
From then on, he became the sharpest spear in Zhu Yuanzhang’s hand, undefeated wherever he went. At Lake Poyang, he drew his bow and shot down the enemy commander, saving his lord in a moment of peril. In campaigns east and west, he swept aside all opposition and crushed the warlords. During the northern expedition, his iron cavalry took Dadu in seven days and pursued the enemy for a thousand li, striking terror into the Yuan army. The name “Chang of a Hundred Thousand” resounded across the Central Plains.
He fought more than a hundred battles in his lifetime and never lost. Utterly loyal, he obeyed his lord alone. He was not only an invincible god of war on the battlefield, but also the most dependable arm of Zhu Yuanzhang’s campaign to unify the realm.
This novel follows Chang Yuchun’s legendary life: how he rose amid the chaos, swept across the land as an invincible force, and engraved his loyalty and passion forever into the foundations of the Great Ming dynasty. This is an epic worthy of a god of war!
