I am Xin Jie, captain of the Red Cell Special Operations Brigade of the Huaxia Dragon Nation. I transmigrated into the body of Hong Shiyong, son of Hong Chengchou.
As someone who knows history, I know that my powerful father is about to surrender to the Qing after a crushing defeat and earn the label of “traitor for the ages.” My own life will be steeped in humiliation as a result.
Wait to die? Surrender? Not a chance.
I have one creed: the best defense is an attack! The best way to persuade the enemy to surrender is to make them surrender!
On the night Hong Chengchou wrote a memorial in the governor’s mansion advocating “holding our ground as the top priority,” I slipped into his study and knocked the Grand Commander of the Ming Dynasty unconscious with a single chop.
When he came to, he was already on my custom-made field stretcher, on the way to the front lines at Jinzhou.
I gave the entire army an order: “The Grand Commander is deeply concerned about the battle and wishes to visit the front lines to share the soldiers’ fate, in life and death!”
Hong Chengchou growled in my ear, “You rebellious brat! Are you trying to kill your father and the entire army?!”
I looked at him, my gaze sharp as a blade. “Father, you’ve never fought a modern war. I have.”
“From now on, wherever your command flag points, my special forces’ decapitation tactics will strike. Either you become a national hero remembered for generations, or I’ll ‘put righteousness before family’ right here and now. You choose.”
In this battle, I’ll use the 130,000 Ming troops as my game board and Hong Chengchou as my game piece. In my own way, I’ll defy heaven and change Huaxia’s fate!
