Yang Xiao, a senior military student, accidentally crossed the Dadu River in 1863. Faced with the desperate situation where Shi Dakai was preparing to surrender, he turned the tide and personally led the death squad to swim through the rainy night to carve out a way out!
Faced with the encirclement and suppression by the Qing court and the covetousness of the foreign powers, Yang Xiao launched a dimensionality reduction attack: building fortresses, setting up new schools, building heavy artillery, and organizing special operations. He and the female chieftain of the Yi ethnic group depended on each other for life and death, and in the shadow of the Forbidden City, he faced off against his old enemy "Mr. Mo" who also had a clear understanding of history.
From the breakout of the Dadu River to the departure of 100,000 troops from Sichuan, he spent forty-eight years defying fate to change his fate and recast the steel backbone for China!
