Rebuke Fang Qiu

(Anti-Qing + Celestial Kingdom + Blue Star Co-leader) The Qing Dynasty in the first year of Jiaqing (1796) had long lost the glory of the prosperous days of Kangxi and Qianlong. The signs of decline penetrated the texture like the cold spring in Jingshan Mountain - the vast territory and strict etiquette on the surface could not hide the scars on the inside. Qianlong abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor, but he clung to power. Although Emperor Jiaqing ascended to the throne, he was reduced to a puppet. The "dual rule" in the court was only a constraint, with chaotic decrees and administrative paralysis; The Heshen Group has been entrenched in the central government for many years, and corruption has spread from top to bottom. Local officials have taken advantage of "fire consumption", "apportionment", and "group training and increased taxes" to exploit each other. Even the Green Camp soldiers can't escape the desperate situation of having their food and salary deducted and their families being forced. Corruption in officialdom has long penetrated into the bone marrow. At this time, on the other side of the world, there was already a new scene: in the First French Republic, Napoleon consolidated the foundation of his rule, and a storm in Europe was brewing; The industrial revolution in the British Isles is in full swing. The wave of mechanization in the cotton textile industry is driving a leap in productivity. The shadow of powerful ships and guns has quietly gathered on the other side of the ocean - there are only more than 40 years left before the Opium War. Troubled times are approaching. Li Jimin, a scholar who has read poetry and books and cherishes the memories of future generations, originally wanted to live a stable life, but was forced to live in ruins due to "increased taxes on regiment training" and became a riot among refugees and deserters. At the crossroads of internal and external troubles, and the collision of ancient and modern times, this talented scholar who is forced to leave the grass will eventually make a choice that affects himself and the direction of the times in the test of blood and fire.
