An accident caused Zhou Jin, who was good at checking accounts and following clues, to travel to the late Southern Ming Dynasty and become Zhu Youlang, the king of Gui who had just been in prison for six days.
When he woke up, the Qing army was about to cross the mountains, another emperor was established in Guangzhou, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were fleeing westward in a hurry with their families and property.
The military register claimed that there were 20,000 troops, but only a few were actually able to go into battle. The food and wages on the books were enough to last for half a year, but no one could tell how much was left in the warehouse. The important officials in the court claimed to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, but in private they had already prepared an escape route.
In history, Emperor Yongli spent sixteen years on the run, and finally died in a foreign land, leaving behind the name "Emperor Wandering".
There is no system, and no elite soldiers and generals appear out of thin air. All Zhou Jin can rely on is his ability to check accounts, identify people, and track down clues.
Check the false military register.
A deficient granary, check.
Fleets and property of unknown origin must also be investigated.
Since this ruined country has become a bad debt that no one dares to touch, he started to return from Xijiang and investigated every detail.
This time, Zhu Youlang no longer fled south.
He wants to stay in this turbulent mountain and river to fight for the last glimmer of hope for the Ming Dynasty.
Very good, logical and well written
