In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the mountains and rivers were broken. The mercenary Liu Boyong woke up in the late Ming Dynasty and saw Zhang Xianzhong's 30,000 troops approaching Fuzhou. He kidnapped his father who was loyal and died for his country, ransacked the gambling house, bought the lives of eight hundred dead soldiers with thirty thousand taels of silver, fought bloody battles for a day and night, and snatched tens of thousands of people from purgatory.
Retreating to Tushan, he established a base, trained new troops, and started craftsmanship. The millions of gold and silver from the Shu Palace became his capital for armed resistance against the Qing Dynasty; the mysterious craftsman Lin Wan held the blueprint of the flintlock gun in her hands.
When the Qing army's cavalry broke through Shanhaiguan, when Zhang Xianzhong went on a killing spree in Chengdu, and when his father knelt down and worshiped the north and cried bitterly, "I have failed the emperor's favor" - Liu Boyong stood on the top of Tushan Mountain and declared to the 40,000 soldiers and civilians:
"From today on, there is no emperor and no court here."
"There are only people who want to live, and the knives in our hands."
"This world of cannibalism, I want to change its way of life!"
