When he woke up, Li Ce became Chongzhen. In front of me are hundreds of officials kneeling in the Qianqing Palace, and in my ears I hear the Chief Assistant asking: "Your Majesty, there are only 190,000 taels left in the national treasury, do you want to pay more?!" The history books roared in his mind - he knew that this was the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng had conquered Xiangyang, Huang Taiji would enter the capital again, and seventeen months later, he would hang himself on Meishan. However, that was Chongzhen in history. And now, it's Li Ce. "Liao's salary? No more." He stood up from the throne and threw a corrupt account book secretly kept by the late emperor in front of the officials. "The money is in your homes; the soldiers are in chaos because of you; the people are forced to rebel by you." "I don't want pay now-I want to kill people." In seven days of fighting against corruption, the capital was bloodbathed and eight million taels were confiscated! The army was reorganized in January, the famous generals returned home, and the capital camp was all in their own hands! In the March restructuring, water transportation, salt and iron, and border trade are all under my control! The Donglin Party cries and remonstrates? I will kill his leader. Jiangnan gentry cut off the canal? I opened a sea route and established another source of wealth. The border generals mutinied? With an imperial edict and a hundred thousand silver coins, I ordered him to defect before the battle. When Huang Taiji's cavalry knocked on the gate again, what he saw was no longer a decaying empire, but an emperor holding the hilt of his sword tightly and with cold eyes. "The old Ming Dynasty would compromise." "But now, my rules are the rules." This is the story of a modern strategist who, as Chongzhen, used the coldest tactics and the most precise blade to change China's fate against the will of heaven. I am the country, I am the king's law, I am the last thunder.
