In "I Travel Through the Ming Dynasty: I Don't Want to Be the King of a Subjugated Country", the soul of Xiao Xiao, a modern social animal who suddenly dies, travels to the body of Emperor Chongzhen who attempted to hang himself. Facing the desperate situation of the fall of the capital and the collapse of the dynasty, he relied on modern knowledge and led his loyal followers on the road to survival. From being on the run to establishing himself in Shandong, he resolutely carried out the agrarian revolution of "land to the tiller", gathered people's hearts, formed the "Jingnan Army", defeated Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui, and regained Beijing.
After that, he pointed his sword outside the pass and fought fiercely in Liaodong, finally defeating Shengjing and annihilating the core of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Then he sent his troops to march westward, pacified Zhang Xianzhong, and finally conquered the southwest. After establishing a foothold, he set his sights on the oceans and continents, and started an epic expansion through technological innovation (the development of the petroleum industry and the prototype of the steam engine) and military reform. The army marched westward, swept across Central Asia, and surrendered to Persia; the fleet went south, controlled the Indian Ocean, and cleared out Western colonial strongholds.
Facing the "Holy Alliance" formed by the Western powers, he relied on his iron fist, technology and strategic foresight to win a bloody battle. In the end, Queen Yekaterina II of Northern Xinjiang Rakshasa (Tsarist Russia) took the initiative to sue for peace and proposed marriage and surrender under her intimidation. At this point in the story, a huge empire stretching from Siberia to the north, the Indian Ocean to the south, and the Caspian Sea to the west has been formed. Xiao Xiaoxiao, the time-traveling king of subjugation, is using modern wisdom and unyielding will to push Ming Dynasty to an unprecedented position of world hegemony, and the journey of a super empire across Europe and Asia is still continuing.
