In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen's reign, Jiashen was in national calamity. Millions of invaders came to the city, and the Ming Dynasty was on the eve of its collapse.
Zhu Cixiang opened his eyes from the regret on the verge of death and returned to the moment before the Forbidden City was destroyed. In his previous life, he fled south under the imperial edict, wandered around and was eventually captured and humiliated. He watched helplessly as his country was wiped out in ashes for two hundred and seventy-six years. The cold wind of Meishan became a nightmare carved into his bones.
Once again, he refused to take the road of survival. With the bound apocalyptic survival system as his trump card, he entered the Shenji camp alone to establish his power and kill the generals. He used advanced flintlock firearms and reissued unpaid wages to reunite the disintegrated remnants of the Beijing camp. The outer city was defeated in advance. He led his troops to fight and retreat to the imperial city. He used line firing tactics to defeat Dashun's vanguard. In the first battle, he defeated the vigor of the invading army.
He emptied the treasures in the inner treasury and exchanged them for contribution points, exchanged them for weapons and food, summoned system instructors to quickly train the army, canned beef to stabilize the morale of the army, and built a high wall to fortify the city to resist powerful enemies. All the civil and military officials in the city surrendered, but the dragon flag in the Forbidden City did not fall.
From being trapped in an isolated city to making a comeback against the odds, Zhu Cixiang wanted to use his guns to rewrite his destiny, save the Ming Dynasty from collapse, and restore the country from destruction.
