In the autumn of the seventeenth year of Tianshun's reign, there was a severe drought in Qingshui County for many years. The imperial court was as lazy as death, and the emperor was ignorant and dissolute. Seventeen-year-old Lin Ponu's family was destroyed. Faced with the bones piled up under the landlord's whip and the endless "safety donation" in front of the county government office, he finally said those words to his brothers Xie Liangxiong and Zhu Jiamin one autumn night - "Rebellion."
Three people with mud-legged bodies holding flags, three hundred hungry people, and thirty rusty knives. Starting from the first blow to kill the bully Cao Bao, they killed Zhou Baoren, beheaded Sun Meng, and defeated Cao Wenrui in just one year, and even attacked Qingshui and Hanlin counties. Lin Dongzhi, the veteran instructor of the Forbidden Army, teaches skills and swordsmanship, Qingzhou wealthy businessman Shen Yanzhang destroys his family to provide relief, the scholar Gao Yulong single-handedly attacks the army, and the female soldier Wu Xinlan challenges the enemy general with two spears - Tiehuaying has grown from an isolated city into a sword inserted in the heart of the old dynasty.
From Qingshui County to Qingzhou City, from 300 hungry people to 4,000 soldiers, from a mud-legged man who couldn't even write his own name to a young general commanding thousands of troops - this is a story in which the grass takes root and the iron flowers bloom in troubled times. Zhang Yiling, a talented girl from Jiangnan, used her paintbrush as a line to record the entire trajectory of this city and this group of people from being dusty to shining. And whether the old dynasty, rotten to the core, can be uprooted, and whether the black torrent coming from the north can be blocked by flesh and blood - the flowers of Tiehua Camp have just broken ground.
