Era background: From the early years of the Republic of China to the middle of the warlord war, the rural areas on the Central Plains/Western Henan/Hunan-Hubei border were experiencing exorbitant taxes and frequent natural disasters. The government was corrupt, warlords of different sizes took turns occupying the territory, bandits were everywhere, and the people were in danger. Chen Shanlang endured the humiliation and went from a miserable child to a local warlord step by step.
