In the late Ming Dynasty, Li Heng became Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, and was ordered to guard Liaodong in times of danger. Faced with the mess of disorganized troops and lack of food and pay, he tightened military discipline with an iron fist, improved firearms, and promoted farming to consolidate the foundation; despite the party disputes in the court, he defeated the Hou Jin coalition forces with the victory in Jinzhou and reversed the crisis in Liaodong.
There are remnants of the generals inside, Huang Taiji is looking at him outside, and there are hidden worries about North Korea's unpredictable position. Li Heng worked step by step to eliminate traitors, unite allies, build a solid border barrier with his own flesh and blood, fight against the odds in the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty, and strive for a glimmer of hope for the precarious Ming Dynasty.
