[Apocalypse 6, Wang Gong Factory, Beijing]
A huge explosion blew the soul of the history doctor into the body of the last emperor Tianqi.
When he woke up, he was the emperor - but an empty emperor who couldn't even sit on the throne. The Eunuch Party controls the government, the Donglin Party ruins the country with empty talk, the Jiangnan gentry evades taxes, the national treasury is in deficit every year, and the Jin Dynasty is eyeing it. The Ming Dynasty is on the verge of collapse.
[I will not kill Wei Zhongxian because Wei Zhongxian is just a dog]
The real enemy is the Jiangnan gentry group that monopolizes the economic lifeline of the Ming Dynasty but refuses to pay any taxes. The eunuch party is a small role in the front stage, and the Donglin party is their financial backer hidden under Shilin's skin. During the Chongzhen period, they abolished the industrial and commercial tax and forced the last king to death - in this life, I will first turn their account books upside down.
[What I want to turn over is not the court, but the whole world]
Under the city of Ningyuan, the Hongyi cannon blasted out the last dignity of the Celestial Dynasty; above the court, a few words nailed Qingliu to the pillar of humiliation on paper; in the six mansions in the south of the Yangtze River, a century-old tax evasion case was uncovered, exposing the "gentlemen" of the Manchu Dynasty to their true colors.
I don't engage in individual heroism—I engage in institutional heroism. I will not kill Wei Zhongxian - I will let him wag his tail. I will not argue with the Donglin Party - I will let their "own men" take the bullet for me.
Late Ming Dynasty? No, it was the early Ming Dynasty.
The comeback starts from the moment of crossing over.
