When he woke up, Lu Ming, a graduate student in the Department of History, found that he was Emperor Chongzhen hanging from an old locust tree in Meishan! When the breath of death hit his face, he used a sentence imitating Emperor Tianqi's "I am back" to frighten the eunuchs who collected the corpse. In the name of "the late emperor entrusted his dream", he used a black powder formula to explode a towering water column at Deshengmen, temporarily forcing Li Zicheng's millions of refugees back.
However, the time traveler's test has just begun. The internal treasury is empty, the plague is rampant, the undercurrent in the court is raging, and Dorgon's Eight Banners cavalry is watching eagerly outside the pass. In a desperate situation, Lu Ming used an iron fist to restart Jin Yiwei, the old eunuch party, ransacked the houses of wealthy businessmen to enrich their internal funds, and even smashed a copy of "Tiangong Kaiwu", which was despised by scholar-bureaucrats, on the face of the Minister of Industry - Technology is his only reliance!
When Shanhaiguan was defeated and the Eight Banners troops came to the city, Lu Ming used the "thunder method" mine array to severely damage Ba Yala, who was inlaid with the yellow flag; when Wu Sangui's Guan Ning cavalry pointed its sword at the "Qingjun side" of the capital after repelling the Jianlu, he smashed the sweet potatoes and angrily said, "First ask my sweet potato army if they agree"! At that moment, thousands of hungry people in Wengcheng who gnawed on life-saving potato chips knelt all over the royal road, building a Great Wall of flesh and blood with their hot loyalty, making Wu Sangui's knife tip tremble for the first time. This is not a simple change of destiny. This is a modern soul in the embers of the empire, using gunpowder as a sword, sweet potatoes as a shield, using the humblest "naturally created" things to ignite the fire of civilization, and launch a sky-shaking Jedi counterattack against the decadent old order and the brutal conquerors! Rejuvenating the country through science and technology started with the last emperor planting sweet potatoes!
