In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Chu Nan, a modern man with a broken system, traveled through time and became a soldier of the Liaodong Frontier Army.
While his companions were still working hard for a morsel of military rations, he had already planned his own path - he should grab his thighs early and his thighs should be thick enough. Looking at the Ming Dynasty, the thickest leg is called Wei Zhongxian.
"I'm in charge of a welfare system, but it's a pity that there aren't many benefits." Chu Nan looked at the simple system panel in front of him and cursed as he began his journey to survive in the late Ming Dynasty. Relying on the eunuchs is just to save the family wealth; currying favor with the superior officials is just to establish the organization. There was a heavy wind and snow in Liaodong, and he just wanted to find a roof to hide, and by the way - gather some soldiers, cast some cannons, and train some musketeers.
A few years later, when the Manchurian cavalry knelt down again, what greeted them was no longer the retreating figures of the Ming army, but three volleys of musketry in front of the formation, the roar of red cannons behind the formation, and the cavalry on the flanks flying outflank them.
"What do you mean by rebelling against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty?" Chu Nan looked at the surrendered generals who were kneeling on the ground and sneered, "I have worked hard to save my family's wealth, why should I work for your Zhu family? There is no love in this world."
In a word: When there are no benefits, you are wretched and develop, but when you have benefits - you can love it!
