In his previous life, General Shen Jingyuan led 30,000 cavalry to defend Yanmen Pass and fought hard to repel Beidi. However, he was falsely accused of treason and treason by the traitors in the court, and his entire family was executed. Only before he died did he learn that the masterminds behind his frame were the prince and his high-ranking uncle, whom he desperately supported.
Once reborn, Shen Jingyuan returned to the age of nineteen. He had just been demoted to the border post for opposing the prince's supervision of the country. This was a key turning point in his fate. This time, he returned with all the memories of his previous life. He knew clearly the time of Beidi's invasion, and the masks of everyone in the court. He also knew that there was a strange woman hidden deep in the palace who could turn things around, and she held in her hands the art of war and reform strategies that could eradicate the dynasty's long-standing shortcomings.
Faced with the princelings' step-by-step encirclement and suppression and the resource blockade of the old family, Shen Jingyuan relied on his prophetic advantage to first stabilize Yanmen Pass, then gather the remaining soldiers, step by step dig out the traitors who were freed of money, and seize the bridgehead of Beidi's southward march. At the same time, he secretly contacted the deep palace to convey strategies, win over the fallen prince who was suppressed by the prince, and gradually erode the power of the decadent forces.
He knew that in ten years the iron hoof of Beidi would crush the Central Plains, and the floods in the Yellow River would shake the foundation of the dynasty. If the decay of the imperial court and the reform of military and agricultural taxes could not be eliminated within these ten years, Dajing would eventually repeat the mistakes of its previous life. And his biggest secret can never be told to anyone: if he fails, he will once again suffer the pain of annihilating his entire family; if he succeeds, he will eventually bear a lot of blood and stand on the lonely peak of power. In this life, he not only wants to pay blood debts to all his enemies, but also protects the common people and reverses the destiny of the country that is destined to perish.
