In 1644 AD, on March 19, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng captured Beijing, and Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty hanged himself in Meishan. The news spread to Jiangnan, and the whole country mourned. However, a greater disaster is about to come - Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan Pass, leads the Qing army into the pass, Li Zicheng is defeated and retreats, and the Manchu cavalry marches in. Chinese civilization faces a catastrophe unprecedented in five thousand years.
On the 10th day of Yangzhou, the 3rd massacre in Jiading, and the 81st day of Jiangyin... Under the order of shaving of hair, rivers of blood flowed in the south of the Yangtze River. The Hongguang, Longwu, and Yongli dynasties of the Southern Ming Dynasty were constantly fighting among themselves. Although loyal ministers such as Shi Kefa, Zhang Huangyan, and Zheng Chenggong tried their best to support them, they were unable to save themselves.
This is the worst of times. This is also an era when modern people travel back in time and try to change everything.
Lin Senhao: A graduate student in the Department of History in the 21st century, specializing in the history of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. He died suddenly while staying up late writing a paper in the library. When he woke up, he found that he had traveled through time and became Lin Asheng, an 18-year-old small businessman in Wujiang County, Suzhou.
Lin Asheng's parents died young. He ran a small cloth shop by himself. He attended a private school for several years, was literate in accounting, and had no fame. He is timid, cautious, calculating, but kind-hearted. After Lin Senhao took over, he retained Lin Asheng's business identity and business network, but injected modern historical knowledge, organizational management capabilities and "prophet" advantages.
His goal is simple: survive. His mission is grand: to save China.
