Lin Zhao, a Ph. D. In Song Dynasty history from Peking University, died suddenly after staying up late to write a thesis. When he opened his eyes, he found that he had traveled back in time to the first year of Duanping in the Southern Song Dynasty and became a coolie boy who was beaten on the Ezhou dock - Shen Tieyi.
Bad news: He was covered in wounds, penniless, and could only remember a half-complete set of Yue family's marksmanship.
The good news: He is the only person in the world who knows where history will go in the next forty-five years.
The disastrous defeat of Duanping in Luo, the three-pronged Mongolian attack on the Song Dynasty, the six-year siege of Xiangyang, and the 100,000 soldiers and civilians jumping into the sea at Yashan... These historical tragedies he had written countless times in his essays were now coming towards him step by step.
He wanted to survive——
But the old beggar who pretended to be crazy and acted like a fool was actually the last captain of Yue Fei's soldiers. After teaching him all his life's marksmanship, he died in his arms.
The reckless brothers he met on the dock followed him from Ezhou to Xiangyang, and from Xiangyang to Diaoyu City. In the end, they lost their limbs and still sat guarding the gate for him. Three arrows pierced his body and he died with a smile.
The daughter of Dr. Lin'an Taixue, single-handedly supported the logistics lifeline of the entire Southern Song Dynasty, and fought for him alone in the court.
The female general who was a survivor of the Jin Kingdom in the Mongolian army delivered information to him, defected to the enemy camp for him, and left her scimitar to him when the city of Xiangyang was destroyed, while she stayed behind to break up his family.
He defended Diaoyu City and killed Meng Ge, the Mongol Khan.
He defended Xiangyang - holding off Kublai Khan's 200,000 troops with 8,000 men for eleven months.
He defended Ezhou - using naval force and street fighting to force back the Mongol Empire's most powerful southern expedition.
But every time a city is defended, there are fewer people around.
He knew the ending of history - the Southern Song Dynasty would eventually perish.
But he still chose to defend.
Because - "The world belongs to the world, and the people of the world belong to the world."
