When he woke up, Zhu Zhe, the social beast, became Zhu Youjian, the king of Ming Dynasty - the Chongzhen Emperor who would hang himself in Meishan seventeen years later!
In front of him is the terminally ill Emperor Tianqi, and behind him is the powerful nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian. Party strife is brewing in the court, gold and iron hoofs are clattering after Liaodong, the Central Plains is full of famine, and sparks of civil unrest are about to start a prairie fire.
A hellish start? Countdown to national subjugation?
Zhu Youjian took a deep breath: No, this is the era of restarting my empire!
Execute the eunuchs, quell the civil strife, destroy the Tartars, develop science and technology, and open up sea trade... I want to use modern knowledge to give this aging empire a shot in the arm!
