Li Hao, a 26-year-old history buff, wakes up as the Chongzhen Emperor, with just 29 days left before his suicide at Coal Hill.
It’s hell from the start: Li Zicheng’s forces are at the gates, the Donglin faction is embezzling the treasury, Shanxi merchants are colluding with the enemy, and the princes are sitting on mountains of gold. Fortunately, the System activates! Ten million taels of silver and a million shi of grain are his.
Confiscate the emperor’s father-in-law’s wealth, wipe out the rebels, bring the imperial clan to heel, execute the Shanxi merchants, pacify Jiangnan, destroy the Qing, invade Japan, and sail south across the seas...
Watch a modern wage slave defy fate, spread the Ming banner across the globe, and build the first empire in human history on which the sun never sets!
