His modern-day cousin was an overambitious smooth talker. After failing at entrepreneurship 99 times, he died and transmigrated into the Ming dynasty, becoming the illegitimate Seventh Prince.
It is the seventeenth year of Chongzhen’s reign. The Prince of Great Shun is bombarding Beijing, and the officials are scrambling to flee.
But “Cousin” goes against the tide and starts “confiscating estates”:
While others try to revive the Ming, he strips it bare.
While others weep at the mountains and temples, he burns the mountains to make cannonballs.
While others negotiate with the Manchus, he first allies with the Cossacks, then sells them out to Russia, making the Cossack cavalry his vanguard!
From northern Mongolia to Kazakhstan, from the Urals to the Danube!
He raids and pillages all the way, using the blood and fire of his enemies to forge an army of nothing but madmen.
By the time Dorgon sets foot inside Shanhai Pass,
Cousin has been waiting for him. Three hundred cannons fire in unison at the three passes, trapping the main Manchu force inside and pounding them to death!
“I will not save Huaxia. I will become the new Huaxia!”
Zhu Shiyuan, Emperor Yongxi, lays a path with his enemies’ bones and writes his own tyrant’s epic!
