A history graduate student opens his eyes and finds himself transmigrated into Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of Song, the cowardly emperor who feared the Jin, abandoned cities and fled, and wrongfully executed Yue Fei!
He has barely transmigrated when he finds himself in the third year of the Jianyan era. Jin cavalry are only fifty li from Yangzhou. The former Zhao Gou is about to abandon the city and cross the river, and the massacre of Yangzhou is moments away. Hundreds of thousands of lives hang in the balance!
As someone who knows Song history inside and out, he clenches his fists. This tragedy must not happen again! I will not run! I will abandon the flight south and defend Yangzhou to the death!
He overrides all objections, orders the gates shut, deploys troops and fortifications, and steadies the army’s morale.
Clad in golden armor, he personally takes to the city walls and fights the enemy alongside the heroic Wu Yu.
With eight hundred men, he defeats twenty thousand, executes traitors, captures enemy generals, and crushes the Jin vanguard against all odds!
He recruits famous generals one after another and unites the Jianghuai region. Yue Fei and Han Shizhong both join his ranks, and he gradually turns the Southern Song’s fortunes around!
He will defend Yangzhou to the death, retake Bianjing, and point his sword toward the Central Plains, rewriting the Southern Song’s humiliating history and restoring the backbone of the Han people!
