Zhu Cilang transmigrates, taking the place of the Ming Dynasty Crown Prince who shares his name! The eldest legitimate son of the Chongzhen Emperor!
The good news: His mind is filled with five thousand years of history and modern technological knowledge.
The bad news: He has only fifteen years before Chongzhen plays tug-of-war with a crooked old locust tree.
The Donglin Party accuses him of defying convention?
Sorry, I can talk them into resigning en masse.
The Later Jin cavalry invade the pass to pillage?

The refugees rise up in rebellion?
Sorry, with sweet potatoes and potatoes to fill their bellies, who would still rebel with you?
When the fleets of the European powers sail east, they will be greeted by the Ming Dynasty's ironclad warships, blotting out the sky!
