Late Ming Dynasty: Swallows Return to Their Nests

Also known as "The Swallow Returns to the Nest" (all the IQs of this book are online) In the winter of the tenth year of Chongzhen, heavy snow closed the mountains. Why did a former army scout wake up after being hit by an avalanche during a border mission, and found that he had become a gangster deep in the Bashan Mountains in the late Ming Dynasty who had just been killed by bandits from the same village and dumped his body at the bottom of a cliff. Three ribs were broken, and in his arms there was only half a jade pendant of unknown origin, and his father's strange last words before his death: "The swallow returns to its nest... The nest will be empty." In order to survive, he dragged his remaining body and knocked on the door of another cottage. Here, he is just a down-and-out young man who knows a few words and comes to seek refuge with his fellow villagers. He put away all the sharpness in his previous life, learned to chop wood, keep accounts, and keep vigil, and lived cautiously in the den of thieves. No one knows that this emaciated body hides a modern soul that has been tempered by iron and blood. No one knows that the seemingly ordinary half of the jade pendant actually involves a dusty and bloody secret of the Ming Dynasty - it is inextricably linked to the fire that destroyed half of Jinling City forty years ago, and to Emperor Jianwen, whose life and death are a mystery. Outside the village, troubled times have arrived. The hungry people are like locusts, the bandits are like tigers, and the sound of horse hooves outside the pass is faint like thunder. A small den of thieves is just a leaf swaying in the torrent. Why do you just want to have a nest to live in and save your life? But he gradually discovered that this "nest" was already in turmoil. The torrent of history and the jade pendant in his arms are pushing him to a road of no return. From the accountant in the den of thieves to a powerful hero, from saving one's life to rebuilding the country. This is a modern soldier who, at the end of the dynasty, builds a new nest for himself and for the common people in the world.
