A disastrous start! The moment he opens his eyes, he finds himself as Zhu Cilang, the last crown prince of the Ming dynasty, captured by Li Zicheng and facing execution at any moment.
The Chongzhen Emperor has hanged himself at Coal Hill. Beijing has fallen, the land lies in ruins, the peasant army is poised to strike, the Qing cavalry is sharpening its blades, and the officials of the Southern Ming are each plotting for themselves. At just sixteen, he is trapped in a hopeless situation.
But he is a transmigrator. He knows how history will unfold, and just how devastating a catastrophe is about to befall Chinese civilization.
Surviving is about more than saving himself. He must keep the heartland from falling and prevent Chinese culture from being extinguished.
Facing Li Zicheng’s executioners, Zhu Cilang does not tremble. Instead, he boldly proposes a deal: let him go south to Nanjing, where he will unite the southern half of the country, gather the remnants of the Ming, and keep the Qing cavalry in check. In return, he will marry Li Zicheng’s only daughter and make her empress. Under the banners of “Ming Crown Prince” and “Shun Princess,” they will establish a realm jointly ruled by the Zhu and Li families.
Li Zicheng laughs, thinking the boy is dreaming. But on reflection, this move might really turn the tide, for he has just suffered defeat at Shanhai Pass and is barely able to protect himself...
On the journey south, Zhu Cilang will face fleeing soldiers, treacherous ministers, bandits, and the watchful Dorgon.
He will combine modern knowledge with ancient political intrigue, win over Zheng Chenggong, ally with Li Dingguo, pacify Zuo Liangyu, and bring the Four Garrisons of Jiangbei to heel.
See how the last crown prince defies fate, drives out the invaders, rebuilds China, and forges a glorious realm belonging not to the Zhu or Li families, but to all the Han people!
I will temporarily stop updating the previous book and concentrate on writing this book about the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Come on, author!
It's very logical. The history in the late Ming Dynasty was very chaotic, so logic is very important.
It's well written, but I feel like there are very few readers.
I thought it was a mindless cheat, but I didn't expect it to be surprisingly good.
There were many characters in the late Ming Dynasty. It is difficult to take care of every character. Come on, author
It is quite difficult to write such 1644 from this perspective, and you have to take both things into account. This book is really good, but can I continue to update it from chapter 2 in one day?
