Late Ming: The Embroidered Uniform Guard Turns Against the Ming

His soul enters the body of a condemned prisoner in the Northern Garrison's imperial prison in the second year of Chongzhen's reign, at the end of the Ming Dynasty. From the start, he is facing certain death.

Lu Yuan, a modern master's graduate in economic history, fights back with knowledge and strategies four hundred years ahead of his time.

He escapes the imperial prison, restores order in the neighborhoods, and builds a loyal following;

he develops industry, trains a new army, and repels powerful enemies.

From an unknown nobody in one corner of the capital to a mighty figure in Tianjin with power over the entire court, he rises step by astonishing step amid the chaos.

He crushes the rebels at home and holds off the Later Jin beyond the borders. Just when everyone thinks the empire is on the brink of collapse, he turns the tide single-handedly.
