In 1924, Wang Junshan, a modern man, traveled through the Republic of China and became a dandy young master of a landlord's family in Lujiang County.
When he opened his eyes, he was faced with the upcoming Northern Expedition, the melee between warlords, and the unprecedented catastrophe of the country's subjugation and genocide fourteen years later.
He is familiar with the direction of history and has only one thought: to survive and let more people survive.
He persuaded his father to enter the martial arts school to study military affairs. After returning to his hometown, he bought guns and food in the name of suppressing bandits, and secretly formed an armed force. When the Northern Expeditionary Army arrived, he led his troops to surrender and made great achievements in battle. Principal Jiang promised to be a high-ranking official and a generous salary, but he only wanted the title of an "independent battalion" - what he wanted was a kindling who could make his own decisions.
From the Great Wall War of Resistance to the Battle of Songhu, from the Defense of Wuhan to the expedition to Burma, his troops appeared on the most critical battlefields like firefighters. He took in refugees, protected the brave, punished corruption, and used modern military concepts to forge a well-disciplined iron army.
He knows that the trend of history is irreversible, but he wants everyone who follows him to live longer and walk with more dignity before dawn.
This is a history of one person's struggle and a passionate song of a group of people. Where the flames of war burn the prairie fire, the mountains and rivers are still there.
