After accidentally touching an ancient map, Li Mingyuan, a graduate student in the history department, traveled through the troubled times of Jiajing.
Along the coast of eastern Zhejiang, Japanese pirates were raging and the people were displaced; above the court, the party was strict and the government was in chaos, and disciplines were lax.
Pretending to be a scholar in distress, he relied on the power of a country gentry to gain a foothold, improved gunpowder to eliminate the Japanese pirates, designed warships to solidify the foundation of coastal defense, and even used the strategy of "limited opening of the sea" to break the shackles of the maritime ban and attract thousands of merchants to trade.
When he met Qi Jiguang, he taught him the method of standardizing discipline and created the iron-blooded soul of Qi's army; he founded the Gewu Junior Academy, passed on the knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry, and cultivated the innovative talents of the Ming Dynasty.
Along the way from the Ningbo government office to the center of the capital, he circled between Yan Song and Xu Jie, using technology as a blade and the system as a shield, amidst the ups and downs, he opened a new path to prosperity for the dying Ming Dynasty!
When the light of science hits the thousand-year-old feudal barrier, when the fire of reform encounters the stubborn stone of vested interests, let's see how Li Mingyuan single-handedly influenced the direction of history and wrote a legend of "I did reforms in the Ming Dynasty"!
