I Transmigrated into the Chongzhen Era to Extend the Ming Dynasty's Fortune by Three Hundred Years

The good news: Zhu Cheng had transmigrated, and he was now the Ming emperor, Zhu Youjian.

The bad news: In another month, rebel king Li Zicheng would capture Beijing.

The Ming dynasty was plagued by corrupt Donglin officials and nobles who feared death.

Beyond its borders, the Jurchen were watching hungrily.

To the west, tens of thousands of Li Zicheng’s rebels were advancing, while drought, locusts, and a cold snap struck in succession.

Faced with a disaster from the start like this, even Zhu Cheng, a modern man with no idea how to govern, had no chance.

Even if the capable and battle-hardened Zhu Di were brought here, he couldn’t solve the problem.

There was only one thing to do: take up the Son of Heaven’s sword, kill the ministers who were ruining the country, eliminate the nobles who feared death, move the court south to Nanjing, and abdicate as the Ming King.

What could be more decisive than a rebellion led by Zhu Cheng himself, the emperor?

“Whoever can quell the turmoil ravaging the Ming, resolve the threat posed by the Jurchen beyond the passes, and restore China shall become the next emperor.”

Those words set the hearts of ambitious men ablaze, and a great war swept across China.
