Chen Zixuan, a modern financial elite, woke up and traveled to the late Southern Song Dynasty! The only son of a landlord who lives in a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River seems to be rich and well-fed, but in fact he is surrounded by dangers. At this time, the Song Dynasty was in a precarious situation: the Mongolian cavalry went south, the court was in a corner, the government was corrupt, and the people were in dire straits. Although the Chen family has great wealth, it faces covetousness from local powerful people and heavy taxation and exploitation by the government, and the family may be ruined at any time.
Chen Zixuan, who originally wanted to live a stable life, found that he could not stay out of it. Facing the crisis of the family industry, he used modern business concepts to reform the industry, introduced advanced technology, and established a business network. Under his management, the Chen family not only got out of trouble, but also became a giant businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, rich as a country! However, success has also attracted the covetousness of powerful people, and undercurrents are surging.
As the Mongolian army pressed closer and closer, Chen Zixuan realized that personal wealth was just a passing cloud in the face of the destruction of the country and the family. He used his huge business network to secretly fund the anti-Mongolian rebels, transport food, grass and weapons, and get acquainted with famous anti-Mongolian generals such as Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie. However, the power struggle within the court, threats from foreign enemies, and internal betrayals and conspiracies made him walk on thin ice, and he was frightened at every step.
When the city of Lin'an was destroyed and the Southern Song Dynasty court fled to sea, Chen Zixuan resolutely gave up his comfortable life and devoted himself to this war that was related to the survival of the nation! Transformed from a merchant to a general, he used modern knowledge to improve weapons, train troops, and establish an intelligence network. From the Battle of Yashan to the final resistance, he witnessed the cruelty of history and changed the course of history in his own way. In the baptism of blood and fire, he grew from a businessman who only cared about family interests to a hero with the world at heart.
