In the summer of 1993, Li Bufan, an ordinary young man in the 21st century, was reading online novels in a rental house. An unexpected thunderstorm swept him into a rift in time and space. When he opened his eyes again, he was lying in a muddy trench, with the deafening sound of artillery fire in his ears. He was wearing a tattered military uniform and holding a rusty Zhongzheng rifle in his hand.
This is not the 21st century, this is China in 1923 - a troubled time where warlords were fighting and the people were in dire straits. His unit was the remnant of the Anhui clique and was being encircled and suppressed by the Zhili clique warlords, resulting in heavy casualties. The original owner was a soldier who was killed by a shell just three days after joining the army. He had the same name and was also named Li Bufan.
Fortunately, Li Bufan found that he had a clear and almost prophetic memory of the direction of history - who would win and who would lose in which battle, when would a warlord fall, and which territory would be fought over by military strategists in the future. This knowledge became his only golden finger in this troubled world.
He doesn't want to be cannon fodder, let alone a hero. What he wants to do is to pull together a team that only obeys his orders in this cannibalistic world, survive first, and then step by step become a true earth emperor.
And his first opponent was the vicious and equally ambitious deputy battalion commander Feng Niannian.
