Tempering

March, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen. Li Zicheng's post sounded the death knell of Beijing, and Dorgon's cavalry were sharpening their swords outside the pass. The crooked-neck tree in Meishan is already waiting for its sacrifice in the strong wind. On the eve of the collapse of the sky and the earth, a soul from later generations woke up in the cold dragon cave of Qianqing Palace. What he saw was not only the imminent destruction of the country and the destruction of the family, but also the endless night of China's land sinking in the three hundred years behind him: the ten days of blood and fire in Yangzhou, the humiliation of shaving off one's hair and changing clothes, the wails of 400 million compatriots reduced to domestic slaves, and the humiliation of the country by ceding land for compensation and losing power two hundred years later under the power of powerful ships and cannons! "Now that I am here, this rolling wheel of history must stop for me!" In this life, no tribute will be paid, no vassals will be paid, no land will be ceded, and no marriage will be made. In this life, I will use the blood of corrupt officials, the heads of nobles, and the bones of Tartars to recast the backbone of the Ming Dynasty! Even if I bear the name of a tyrant, I will fight to create a bright future for the Han family! One sentence summary: Move the sky, cast iron and blood, recreate the prosperous Han and Tang Dynasties, and never let China sink for three hundred years! Pre-reading reminder: This book is not a systematic and refreshing text, but follows a rational deduction flow, emphasizing power strategy, war logistics and system construction.
