Dragon Energy in the Great Ming

Standing before you is:

The secret patron behind the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai, Liu Rushi’s intimate pen pal, the leader of the literary world, a fan of late-Ming secret societies, the poetic backbone of three hundred years of the Ming dynasty, and a pioneer of rational philosophy.

Chongzhen Emperor’s firefighter, the border army’s great savior, the boxer who went toe to toe with Hong Taiji, and the best student ever taught by Sun Chengzong.

The man in charge of Shanghai, the great captain of the northwest production brigade, the Liaodong pacification commissioner, and the protector of overseas Chinese.

The dragon aura of the Ming dynasty fills my belly. If Heaven wants to destroy me, I’ll destroy Heaven.

This is the story of the mightiest carbon-based life-form of the seventeenth century.
