In the first year of Jingkang, Bianjing fell, and I transformed into Chen Mo, a small businessman waiting to die when the city fell. The mysterious bracelet on my wrist lights up - the battery is 99.8%, But it is my only support in this troubled world.
When the Jin soldiers massacred the city, I led the remaining soldiers to fight in the streets; when the imperial court fled south, I supported the prince in Xiangyang; when there were internal and external troubles, I united with Sichuan and Shaanxi, Jiexi Xia, and Tong Mongolia to deal with various forces.
"Chen Mo, if you pay a small amount of money, you can be crowned king!"
"I would rather die in battle than become an emperor!"
From setting up envoys in Jinghu to regent, from being trapped in Xiangyang to the three-pronged northern expedition. Firearms defeated the Golden Cavalry, and the navy cut off the food routes. After ten years of fighting, they finally defeated Bianjing and unified the Central Plains.
Above the court, I implemented the New Deal: clearing land, rectifying the military system, opening up the sea to trade, and establishing official schools. The gentry scolded me for "competing with the people for profit," and the generals scolded me for "disarmament and brutality." But the common people had land, poor families found a way out, and maritime trade benefited all people.
"Prince Regent, Your Majesty is old and it's time to return to power."
I looked at the young emperor who had grown up on the throne, bowed and presented the jade seal: "O minister, please retire."
After returning to Mang Mountain in seclusion, the world has never forgotten that purple-robed figure. The merchant ships of all nations in the Shipping Department, the poor students in the official school, and the ever-victorious teachers on the frontier are all telling that this prosperous age began with one person.
Sixty years of peace, Qingshi commented: "The merits and demerits are only thirty-seven, but the major ones are not lost." When the last battery of the bracelet goes out, the lights of Bianjing are illuminating this glorious era of China.
