On the eve of the Jingkang Incident, the soul of Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, became the cowardly Zhao Huan of Qinzong of the Song Dynasty. At this time, the Jin army was approaching Kaifeng, and the court was full of civil servants who advocated ceding territory and moving south. The Song army's military discipline was weakened, and its soldiers fled when encountering the enemy. The humiliating Jingkang disaster was about to come.
The iron-blooded Hongwu took charge of the imperial power by calling himself "We", and immediately severely punished the masters and traitors, confiscated the property of corrupt officials and powerful officials to increase military pay, and made an exception to the appointment of generals such as Li Gang and Zhong Shidao. He went to the city in person to promulgate strict military laws, killed deserters to establish his authority, reset rewards and punishments to boost military morale, and relied on Kaifeng Fort to resist the Jin army's fierce attack. At the same time, a message was sent to the world to urge King Qin's soldiers and horses to come to the rescue, and they cooperated internally and externally to repel the besieging Jin soldiers, completely ending the tragedy of Jingkang being captured.
After the foreign troubles subsided, Zhu Yuanzhang made drastic changes in the Song Dynasty's centuries-old shortcomings of emphasizing civility over military affairs. He rectified the official administration, trained the new army, and governed the country with an iron fist, making the poor and weak Northern Song Dynasty strong and prosperous.
Purpose: Rewrite the history of the Song Dynasty based on time travel, tell the truth about defending the land with iron and blood, strengthening the army and rejuvenating the country, and convey the spirit of protecting the family and the country by preferring death rather than surrender.
