The Nation-Stealing Stratagem: Ninefold Clouds Over Yunlin
In 2025, history prodigy Qin Long transmigrates into Qin Yuncong, the last Duke of the Ming Dynasty. He opens his eyes in the seventeenth year of the Chongzhen reign, with Li Zicheng's million-strong army at the gates and the Ming Dynasty on the brink of ruin.
The officials at court scheme for power, smoke rises from battles along the borders, and corrupt officials infest the government. Qin Long sneers: Since this realm is about to fall, why not let me rebuild it with my own hands?
He executes corrupt officials and trains a new army, using modern military doctrines to forge an invincible force. He opens up maritime trade and promotes industry and commerce, using advanced knowledge to drive an industrial revolution. Amid the roar of red-barreled cannons, he sneers at the million-strong rebel army: "I will make every land beneath the sun and moon part of Ming territory!"
Li Zicheng surrenders with his army, and the Jurchens of Jianzhou flee at the first sign of trouble. While the Western powers are still drifting across the seas, the Ming's ironclad fleet is already patrolling the globe.
On the day the Chongzhen Emperor abdicates, Qin Long stands atop the Forbidden City, gazing down over the vast realm. The civil and military officials kneel and cry out: "We beseech Your Majesty to take the throne!"
He merely raises a hand. "The sun rises in the East, and it shall rise only in the East."
