Before the suffocation of Meishan Bailing's broken neck had dissipated, Zhu Yu suddenly woke up, and his soul traveled to the throne of the Huangji Palace on August 24, the seventh year of the Apocalypse - he became the newly crowned Chongzhen Emperor. In his ears were the last words of Emperor Tianqi, "Be loyal and faithful, and great things can be planned." In front of his eyes were the gazes of Wei Zhongxian and the eunuch officials, and in his mind was the complete script of the country's subjugation seventeen years later, including Meishan's suicide, Li Zicheng's entry into Beijing, the Eight Banners' entry into the Customs, and the sinking of the Central Plains. He is not the impatient and suspicious king who lost his country in history, but he is an in-depth researcher who has been immersed in the history of the late Ming Dynasty for decades. He is well aware of the eight fatal points of the Ming Dynasty's ruin and the trump cards of all characters. On the first seven days, Thunder liquidated the eunuchs, confiscated 8 million taels of silver to fill the national treasury deficit, accurately eliminated the Ningyuan mutiny, provided relief to the hungry people in Shaanxi and cut off the foundation of rogue bandits; reused Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, Lu Xiangsheng, and Sun Chuanting to form Created the most powerful all-star cabinet in the late Ming Dynasty; reversed the changes that had already taken place and defeated the Eight Banners; swept the holes and destroyed the Hou Jin Dynasty; opened up sea trade to control the sea power in East Asia; initiated industrial enlightenment; and turned the deadlock in history into a winning chess game every step of the way. He will not be a subjugated king who hanged himself in Meishan, but will create a prosperous Chinese age that far surpasses the Han and Tang Dynasties!
