On a rainy night in Shenzhen, a young man on the assembly line roared in despair. The ancestral bronze mirror suddenly glowed, and the four seal characters "Ordered by Heaven" dragged his soul into the troubled times of the late Yuan Dynasty. When he opened his eyes again, he climbed out of the pile of corpses in Dadu's mass graves. It coincided with the celestial changes in the eleventh year of Zhizheng. A modern soul has since shouldered the mission of rewriting the destiny of China.
From Zhuozhouyi's dormancy and forbearance, to using modern accounting to control people's hearts; from developing sulfur soap to earn the first pot of gold, to training private soldiers to secretly weave wings, he used the power of science and technology to break the situation and rely on the emperor's mind to gain a foothold. Encountering the temptation of Mu Qing, a saint of the White Lotus Sect, he met Jin Shanji, a Goryeo medical woman, and took in powerful generals such as Xu Da and Chang Yuchun. In the troubled times when the Yuan Dynasty was corrupt and the heroes were divided, he gradually transformed from an ant into a real dragon competing in the Central Plains.
He competed with Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Youliang, and Zhang Shicheng in the south of the Yangtze River, rewriting the fate of the Battle of Poyang Lake, and personally ended the hegemony of the heroes; he expedition to the north of the Yuan Dynasty, assassinated the famous general Chahan Timur, forced Emperor Yuan Shun to leave, and ended the troubled times and divisions ten years ahead of schedule; he conquered Goryeo, Tibet, and Yunnan, establishing a territorial territory that far exceeded the peak of the Yuan Dynasty, and ascended the throne in 1368 and proclaimed himself emperor. The country was named Ming, and the reign was named Hongwu.
This is an epic that combines modern wisdom with ancient struggle for hegemony. It includes cruel battles involving mountains of corpses and seas of blood, as well as difficult choices to govern and secure the country, as well as the deep game of the emperor's mind and the gentle bond of love between children. In the end, Hongwu Emperor Zhang Chen planted the seeds of civilization and progress, leaving behind a Ming Dynasty with the beginning of the steam era, waiting for future generations to continue to write the legend of civilization that spans time and space.
