Time travel to the Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun. At the beginning, the chief minister Gao Gong is forcing the palace, the eunuch Feng Bao is taking power, Tatars are invading the border outside, and there are constant party disputes inside. What's even more frightening is that he knows that the Ming Dynasty will fall to the Qing Dynasty in a few decades, and China will fall into a century of humiliation!
Zhang Juzheng can be used, but must be controlled; Feng Bao can be retained, but must be obedient. Eradicating Wu Sangui's ancestors in the bud, reforming firearms, taking the lead in maritime trade, supporting industry and commerce, and pacifying Japanese pirates.
When the West was still struggling in religious wars, the Ming Dynasty's treasure ships had already sailed around the Cape of Good Hope; while European nobles were still seasoning with pepper, the Ming Dynasty people were already eating potatoes and corn; when the colonists raised their muskets, the Ming Dynasty Shenji Battalion was equipped with flintlock muskets and red cannons.
When someone asked him why he could predict the future, he smiled and said nothing - how could the five hundred years of history lessons in his previous life be in vain?
This is the story of a time traveler who led China to change its destiny against the will of heaven, start the Age of Discovery in advance, and plant the flag of the sun and moon all over the world.
