In 1644 AD, Jiashen was in national calamity. Li Zicheng destroyed Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen died in Sheji, the land of China was destroyed, and the smell was everywhere. At the darkest moment when the legal system of the Ming Dynasty was about to be cut off, the soul of a later engineering doctor passed through the sixteen-year-old prince Zhu Cixiang. Faced with the inevitable situation of being pursued by the invading army, the Qing troops entering the customs, the ministers being alienated, and the treasury being empty, he had no system to support him and no room for cheating. He only had the knowledge beyond the times and an iron heart unwilling to surrender the country. "Since I am not dead, the Ming Dynasty cannot be destroyed!" He subdued Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, led five hundred disabled soldiers to stain their robes with blood, and traveled thousands of miles south to Dingding Jinling; He used thunderous means to suppress party disputes in the court, reshape the imperial authority, unite the bandits to fight against the captives, and reorganize the new army; He built the Gewuyuan on the ruins, climbed the technological tree, from flintlocks to steam engines, and used industrialization to crush the myth of Eight Banners cavalry and archery; He imposed a maritime ban, reformed the tax system, and developed industry, turning the greed of the Jiangnan gentry into fuel for the rise of the empire. This is not a simple history of restoration, but a magnificent epic of the rebirth of an ancient civilization in desperate circumstances. When the roar of steam engines resounded through the Forbidden City, and the dragon flag that never set that day was planted all over the world, Zhu Cixi stood at the top of the times and looked back-- The five hundred imperial guards escorted not only a young emperor, but also the only way for the Chinese nation to lead to the future.
