After two staunch communists met, they decided to join forces to change the trajectory of history.
One of them used historical knowledge to strategize, and the other relied on modern materials to ensure logistics, building a bridge between the peasant uprising and the court forces. When the Qing army enters the country and the world is in chaos, can this pair of partners who span time and space use Marxist ideas and modern technology to rewrite the direction of Chinese civilization?
