In the final years of the Chongzhen reign, the empire was falling apart.
The nation was broken, famine ravaged the land, and the fires of war swept across the mountains of the southwest.
Shen Jixian, a man from a later age, became the captain of Li Dingguo's personal guard in the Great Western Army.
He protected Prince Jin, fought on the battlefield, quelled internal strife, and trained a new army. He contended with Sun Kewang's ambition, resisted the Eight Banners' advance, and rescued the displaced people. The rotten Southern Ming could not be salvaged, so he would overturn this chaotic age with his own hands. He would lead his troops north, drive out the invaders, and establish a new dynasty that would never repeat the mistakes of the past!
