"The First Hero of Hongwu: Defection to Zhu Chongba at the Beginning" tells the epic legend of Shen Feng, a modern man, who traveled to Haozhou at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and counterattacked from a dying starving people to become Zhu Yuanzhang's chief adviser. Using modern knowledge as a sword and historical foresight as a shield, he helped Zhu Yuanzhang stand out in the internal strife in Haozhou and laid the foundation for his "three-step rise strategy"; he fought fiercely against Chen Youliang, outsmarted Zhang Shicheng, and dominated most of the Northern Expedition, laying the foundation for the Ming Dynasty. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he became the chief architect of the imperial blueprint: reforming the official system, codifying laws, establishing the Academy of Sciences, promoting new learning, and sowing the prototype of steam engines, public health, global navigation and other modern civilization fires in China six hundred years in advance. In the undercurrent of the game between kings and ministers and the conflict between the old and the new, he adhered to the concept of "system is greater than the rule of men", cultivated successors, left behind a century-old development plan, and finally quietly retired, only to plant seeds that transcend the times for China, pointing to the ultimate future of the stars and the sea. This is a majestic epic intertwined with personal struggle and civilizational transition.
