Dajing Dynasty, the early years of Shunli.
The eunuchs wielded power, the young master was weak, and the court gradually declined.
The eunuchs collude with the traitors and traitors, trap the loyal and good, and punish dissenters.
Local officials imposed excessive taxes and expropriations, making the people miserable and filled with grief.
The people couldn't bear the suffering, and they rose up one after another, and the war was blazing.
Instead of caring for the people, the imperial court suppressed with an iron fist and killed without restraint.
In just a few years, the sea was wasted and people's hearts were scattered. The Huanghuang Empire was already in turmoil and on the verge of overthrow.
The central government is getting weaker and weaker day by day, and the Eastern Yi, Western Rong, Southern Barbarians, and Beidi are all surrounded by tigers and wolves, and eagles and owls are watching.
…
In the sixth year of the calendar year, spring.
Xiqiang and Beidi joined forces, gathered 100,000 cavalry, and stormed the northern fortress Linhaiguan.
The guard general Lu Guang led his soldiers to defend the place in a bloody battle. However, a traitor appeared in the army and secretly communicated with the foreign enemies, causing the pass defense to collapse.
Lu Guang and his eldest son Lu Tianbei were trapped in a tight siege, fought hard and refused to give in, and eventually both died for their country.
Now that the great pass is lost, Hu Qi feels like he is in a deserted land.
The bad news reached the capital, and the government and the public were shocked.
However, the eunuch actually instigated the young emperor to falsely accuse Lu Guang and his son of "humiliating the country by losing the army" in order to seize their posthumous reputation.
None of the Lu family's family members in Beijing were spared. They were all sent to Lingnan, and their families were destroyed.
Only Lu Guang's adopted son, Lu Tianchu, who had been ordered to go south with the food collection team earlier, was able to avoid this disaster.
Hearing about this drastic change, Lu Tianchu was filled with grief and anger, and his liver and gallbladder were about to burst.
He vowed to clear up the grievances of the Lu family and restore the reputation of the general as a loyal and loyal general.
But what you can see when you look up is that the mountains and rivers are broken, the lives are in ruins, the people are dying of hunger, and the people are exchanging their children for food, and the world is like a purgatory.
Lu Tianchu was devastated and had the ambition to recreate the world.
However, the future is long and full of thorns. To realize this wish, it is destined to be a long road intertwined with blood and fire, with heavy responsibilities and long way to go...
