Li Haochen, a thirty-nine-year-old social worker, died suddenly.
When he opened his eyes again, he became the eldest son of the Li family of the Yunnan caravan in the tenth year of Daoguang. The family property was almost lost, his father was killed, the enemy was the local chieftain, and the court was standing behind him.
The good news is: he inherited five thousand acres of land, two thousand men and horses, and four thousand taels of silver.
The bad news is: the land has been lost, the people have been dispersed, and the money has been spent.
The worse news is: the enemy lives on the other side of the Jinsha River with two thousand soldiers.
Li Haochen looked at the three thousand taels of silver left in his hand and the five hundred caravan men who were willing to follow him, and made a decision——
Since you can't go back, then do the opposite.
The miners in Dongchuan, the shanties at the foot of the Western Mountains, the chieftains oppressed by the Qing government... He brought these desperate people together to mine, forge iron, make gunpowder, and train new troops.
He wants to let the world know that even the emperor is afraid of the cruel behavior of social beasts.
