When Anqing fell in 1862, the British king Chen Yucheng was trapped in a fatal situation in Luzhou. On the verge of death, the modern soul Lin Chen awakened with historical foresight and military wisdom. He narrowly escaped Miao Peilin's trap, collected the defeated troops in northern Anhui, joined forces with the Nian Army and the Anti-Hunan Army, used guerrilla tactics to cut off the Qing army's food routes, reversed the disparity in combat power with the help of improved firearms, and gradually raised an iron-blooded force from a desperate situation.
In the court, he dealt with Hong Xiuquan's ignorance, the greed of the Hong clan and Li Xiucheng's separatist ambitions. He took advantage of the grain shortage in Tianjing and seized military power. With the victory of Yuhuatai, he broke the siege of the Hunan Army. Finally, he deposed the King of Heaven and became the actual helmsman of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Outside the battlefield, he and the loyal and resolute Taiping Army women He met Su Sanniang through swordsmanship and shadow, and became involved in mediating critical situations with Shen Yuwei, the daughter of a gentry from Jiangsu and Zhejiang who was well versed in strategy. The two women were not dependents. Su Sanniang led the female soldiers into the battle, while Shen Yuwei took care of the rear and solved the plots of political opponents. The three of them formed a bond that transcended the world in troubled times.
From reversing the crisis in Tianjing to sweeping the Qing army across the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, from repelling the foreign fleet at Dagukou to conquering Beijing in the Northern Expedition, Chen Yucheng reshaped the Kingdom of Heaven with iron-blooded tactics and promoted reforms with modern ideas, and his two wives have always been his strongest support. When the flag of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was planted on the top of the Forbidden City, he looked back. Behind him was the broken old era, in front of him was the brand-new country, and beside him were two confidantes who had walked through blood and fire side by side with him, witnessing the nirvana and rebirth of a dynasty.
