Late Ming Dynasty: 5 Million Taels Were Taken Away at the Beginning

In the 16th year of Chongzhen, Sun Chuanting was defeated in Tongguan, and the Ming Dynasty no longer had a barrier. The soul of Zhu Huaian, a modern military engineer, passed through the middle-level generals of the camp. A ray of soul carried the ancient jade that contained Zhu Di's lifelong military and political strategies and melted into his body. Since then, he has had a vision of the city that far exceeds that of everyone in troubled times. After the city of Xi'an was broken, he intercepted five million taels of silver from the Prince of Qin's palace, and led more than a thousand tribesmen and tens of thousands of refugees to the ravines of northern Shaanxi to build a camp base along the mountains. Various forces in the Central Plains were fighting against each other. With a huge sum of five million taels in hand, Zhu Huaian took root here, absorbing refugees, stocking crops, forging firearms, and quietly accumulating his own strength. While the heroes were only engaged in internal strife in the Central Plains, Zhu Huaian had already accumulated enough confidence to rewrite the troubled times. When the turmoil in the world is calmed down and the country is in charge, then we will rectify the redundant ministers who talk and ruin things, restrain the arrogant royal family, and implement a new governance policy in which the royal family and nobles go to work in the countryside. At the end of a thousand-year cycle of chaos, with military technology and six hundred years of imperial strategy in hand, how can he break the cycle and establish a new dynasty that will be eternally stable?
