In the winter of 1646, on the dragon bed in Zhaoqing Palace, Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang sat up in shock from the nightmare of being hanged at Zizipo in Kunming - he was reborn into the desperate situation where half of the Ming Dynasty had been lost for only half a month after he ascended the throne: the powerful minister Ding Kuichu secretly hid eight million taels of military pay and secretly communicated with the Qing army, and the Qing army Li Chengdong's troops were chasing him along the Xijiang River.
The cowardice and tragic death in his previous life are still before his eyes. In this life, Zhu Youlang broke his fingernails into his palms and swore: I will save this world! He deceived Ding Kuichu into killing him, copied silver and recruited troops to form a "loyal and brave army"; used the miasma to set up an ambush to repel the Qing army, and led the remaining troops to rush out of Zhennanguan, Guangxi. He used "silver in exchange for troops and honor in exchange for loyalty" to integrate the chieftain forces, pacify North Vietnam, capture Laos, and force Cambodia, and established a stable rear in the Indochina Peninsula.
In order to break the "security dilemma", he personally led an army through the Shan State of Myanmar, overcame altitude sickness and raided Tibet. He teamed up with the Tibetan nobles to destroy the Mongolians and opened up the "Qinghai-Tibet → Sichuan-Sichuan" counterattack channel. Then he took over the Kingdom of Abundance, instigated a rebellion against the Green Camp, contacted Zheng Chenggong, and used multi-line coordination to regain Hunan and Guangxi, and finally formed a Yangtze River confrontation with the Qing army.
From the escaped emperor in Zhaoqing to the Mingjun Dingding in Wuchang, Zhu Youlang broke the deadlock with the "rebirth information gap", solved the food shortage with "fighting to support war", and gathered allies with "borrowing force" to rebuild the foundation of the Southern Ming Dynasty step by step on the ruins of the late Ming Dynasty, so that the flag of "the sun and the moon shines again" can once again fly in the sky of Central and South China, Qinghai-Tibet and Jiangnan. The whole book is written from Zhu Youlang's first perspective, integrating historical details and strategic games, recreating a passionate epic of "the desperate emperor reversed the Ming Dynasty".
