    Synopsis: [Unlocking the Ren and Du Meridians] + [Transmigrating to the First Year of the Tai Xi Era of the Western Jin Dynasty] + [The Military System of Later Times] + [Unifying China] + [Unifying the World] On a dark and windy night, a bolt of lightning struck the protagonist, unlocking his Ren and Du Meridians. He transmigrated to the first year of the Tai Xi Era of the Western Jin Dynasty, a low point in ancient China. At that time, the following regimes existed in the north: First, Liu Yuan, a Xiongnu, established the Xiongnu-Han regime, claiming to be the nephew of the Han Dynasty. Due to the early Han Dynasty's policy of marriage alliances, many Han princesses married into the Xiongnu (actually, they were palace maids who were granted the title of princess). The most famous example in history is Wang Zhaojun during the reign of Emperor Yuan of Han. Therefore, it's not unreasonable for Liu Yuan to claim to be the nephew of the Han Dynasty; let's assume he is! In the Sichuan region, the Li brothers, a tribal group, established the Cheng Han regime. This regime was even less reliable than the Han established by Liu Yuan, the Xiongnu. After all, the Xiongnu could claim to be the nephew of the Han Dynasty, but what about you? He was an outsider, a refugee fleeing famine. Shi Le, a Jie, established the Later Zhao dynasty in parts of Hebei and Shanxi. Born a slave, Shi Le was illiterate. However, it's said he maintained a "Gentlemen's Camp," represented by Zhang Bin, which showed respect for the Han people, making him seem relatively reliable among these regimes. But a foreigner is still a foreigner. The Murong clan of the Yan-Yun region established the Yan regime, the same Murong clan in Jin Yong's *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils* who claimed to be restoring the Great Yan dynasty.
