In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Liaodong.
Chen Shouzhuo, an inconspicuous member of a hundred households in Tieshan Thousand Households, is dull and taciturn, and just wants to survive in troubled times.
But Jiannu's cavalry didn't agree, his corrupt boss didn't agree, and all the forces in the court with their own ulterior motives didn't agree either.
The former garrison guard was massacred overnight, a mysterious caravan traveled to the border wall at night, and thousands of households had hidden internal intelligence - he suddenly discovered that the remote land under his feet was actually a key chess piece in the game between various forces.
And he is just a chess piece on the chessboard that can be discarded at any time.
Some people want him dead, some want to use him, and some want to use his head to change their future.
But Chen Shouzhuo refused to accept his fate.
He has the "City Defense Record" passed down from his family, has the ability to improve firearms, and has a pair of eyes that can see through the chess game. From today on, this game of chess should be played by him. From the chess pieces to the chess players, every step is on the line of life and death.
The chess game is not over yet, who holds the right position? Let's see how a small hundred households can turn the world upside down.
