When the soul of Emperor Hongwu descended on the peak of power of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
In 1853, the King's Banner was changed on the city wall of Nanjing. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established its capital in Tianjing, and the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing was in power. The conflict with the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan was about to break out. The dark clouds of the "Tianjing Incident" shrouded this stone city.
At the moment when the assassin's poisonous blade was about to end Yang Xiuqing's life, a completely different soul awakened in this body - Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, who traveled through time and space from the Huangjue Temple in the 14th century, and became this "nine thousand year old" who was roasted on the fire.
A founding emperor who fought his way from the bottom of society, a ruthless character who was well versed in power and decisive in killing, faced Hong Xiuquan, the "second son of Heavenly Father" who relied on pretending to be a ghost to maintain governance, a group of princes with their own agendas, and a Taiping Army that seemed unstoppable but actually had an unstable foundation.
Zhu Yuanzhang's experience told him: divine power must be subordinated to imperial power, and pretending to be gods and ghosts will not conquer the world.
Yang Xiuqing's identity told him: The Northern Expedition must persist to the end. Only by overthrowing Beijing can Nanjing be truly secure.
Then, everything changed——
He did not rush to seize Hong Xiuquan's "Long Live" position, but used Ming-style iron-fisted methods to clean up the East Palace, frighten the kings, and truly take power into his hands; he defied all opinions and supported the Northern Expedition with all his strength, turning the lone army of Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang into a sharp knife that pierced the heart of the Qing Dynasty; he watched the rise of Zeng Guofan's Hunan Army with a cold eye, but he was already planning a showdown across the ages in his heart.
This is not a simple time travel, but a complete transformation of the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" by the "Hongwu Emperor".
