Mournful Cries: Slaying Demons, Starting with the Ten Days of Yangzhou

The Qing are demons, barbarians.

Hong Xiuquan said: “China has its own laws and institutions. Now the Manchus have created demonic laws to ensnare the people of China, leaving them no way to escape.”

The point of slaying demons and subduing devils is to build a new order and carry on the legacy of Huaxia.

That is all there is to it.

One night in the fourth month of the first year of the Hongguang reign of the Ming dynasty, a transmigrator became a scholar in Yangzhou who had gone mad.

In his eyes, the Qing soldiers were man-eating monsters.

The lands south of the Yangtze were filled with cries of anguish.

Here, he died. Then woke up. Then died again. Then woke up again.

Now, after coming back to life, he has to consider one question: how can he end this cycle?

How can he survive in this chaotic age overrun by demons?

And how can he save the people he holds dear?

This is simply the story of a man with a cognitive disorder who, after dying and coming back to life, decides to end a world in chaos.
