You should read this book carefully
In the forty-two years of Wanli, in the turbulent late Ming Dynasty, strategic analyst Chen Ang accidentally transformed into a descendant of a Jinyiwei who had fallen into disgrace in Yangzhou City. With broken ribs and enemies chasing him, the beginning is a desperate situation.
With four hundred years of knowledge and strategy, he glimpsed the chess game in the mud: internal strife among the Cao Gang, domineering salt merchants, undercurrents in the rivers and lakes, endless feuding between the court and the court, and the golden tiger watching outside the pass.
From taking a breather from an abandoned tanker to gaining a foothold with the help of Lin Xiaoyue, the young leader of the Caogang Gang; from creating the intelligence organization "Iron Crane Tower" to stir up troubles in the world, to joining the Royal Guards, and surviving step by step in the whirlpool of the court.
He used modern logic to solve mysteries, used economic thinking to solve people's livelihood difficulties, and relied on military concepts to strengthen the Ming Dynasty's military. On one side are the swords and shadows of the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party, on the other side are the bloody storms of the Jianghu sect and the Demon Cult, and there is even the sound of the iron hoofs of the Liaodong cavalry crushing Guan Ning.
Holding an ancestral rusty knife in his hand, Chen Ang started out in Yangzhou's Yuxiang, using the nickname "Iron Crane" as his chessboard in the setting sun empire, making turbulent moves. He not only wants to survive, but also wants to use his own efforts to open a bloody road to new life for China, which is suffering from a serious illness.
The rivers, lakes, courts, and the world are all chess games; power, swords, and people's hearts are all in the palm of your hand. Let's see how a modern soul forges an iron-clad legend in the furnace of the late Ming Dynasty and writes an epic of national salvation.
