[Late Ming Dynasty + System-Driven Troop Production + Reborn Emperor + Decisive and Ruthless + Power Fantasy]
After hanging himself on Coal Hill as the Ming dynasty fell, Zhu Youjian is reborn at the very beginning of his reign, seething with resentment!
The treasury is so empty that mice can run through it? The Manchus threaten from without, rebels ravage the land within, and the Donglin Party still whines and complains about poverty in court?
[Ding! The Unlimited Troop Production and Property Seizure System is activated!]
[Seize ten thousand taels of silver to exchange for ten thousand absolutely loyal Ming death warriors!]
[Kill one traitorous, corrupt official to exchange for Maxim machine gun blueprints and a production line!]
Looking at his ministers' hypocritical faces, the reborn Chongzhen smiled, a smile that made one's blood run cold.
“Your Majesty, Jiangnan is suffering a severe drought. We are all destitute and simply can't afford to donate any silver!” the head of the Donglin Party wept.
Chongzhen waved a hand. “No money? Then I'll borrow your heads instead! Seize their property!”
When an army of fifty thousand death warriors, armed with bolt-action rifles and mortars, surrounds the capital; when Wei Zhongxian trembles before an emperor even more ruthless than himself; when Hong Taiji is blasted into the sky by artillery...
The whole world trembles!
Empress Zhou: “Your Majesty has been so vigorous lately...”
Chen Yuanyuan: “All I wish for in this life is to serve the tyrant of the Ming!”
