Late Ming: I Impersonated the Chongzhen Emperor, and Somehow Made the Ming Dynasty a World Power

I transmigrated to the end of the Ming Dynasty, and from the start, it was hell difficulty!

To stay alive, I had no choice but to impersonate the Chongzhen Emperor, who had just hanged himself.

Li Zicheng was about to capture Beijing, while Dorgon watched from beyond the passes, ready to strike.

In a Beijing that felt like the end of the world, I swung my butcher’s knife. “Storm the homes of the imperial relatives and seize their money! We’ll start with my father-in-law, Zhou Kui, and use it to fund the army!”

Facing Wu Sangui, who commanded a powerful army but couldn’t decide which side to take, I smiled faintly. “My dear subject, your Yuanyuan and your father are both in my hands. Do you want to save them?”

Since the Ming realm was already rotten to the core, let me, the “fake emperor,” rebuild the sun and moon!

Leading the Guanning Iron Cavalry south, I confiscated estates, raised money, and trained a new army.

While the civil and military officials in Nanjing were still debating whom to enthrone, the true Son of Heaven arrived at their gates with an army of tigers and wolves!

Li Zicheng: “Wasn’t he supposed to hang himself on Coal Hill? How did this guy end up in Nanjing?”

Dorgon: “That tyrant sweeping across Jiangnan with the Guanning Iron Cavalry isn’t Zhu Youjian?!”

Zuo Liangyu: “Your Majesty may command my troops as you please. I only ask that you spare this old man!”

Li Dingguo: “I’m willing to brave any danger for Your Majesty and preserve the Ming Dynasty for ten thousand generations!”

Zheng Chenggong: “I swear to follow Your Majesty to the death and make the Ming navy master of the world!”

From Beijing to Rome, from Northern Europe to the South Pole, my realm can be summed up in two words: Great Ming.

While everyone thought I was just putting on an act, I was already preparing to conquer the world.
