Wanli Is Not Peaceful

The twentieth year of Wanli was an uneven year. Li Changle, a sixteen-year-old military boy, succeeded his dead father and became the cheapest consumable in the Ming Dynasty. From the Ningxia rebels, to the Korean pirates, and then to the Bozhou chieftain, he stepped on the corpses of his companions and enemies and witnessed the last glory of the Ming Dynasty... Many years later, as he was lying in the wilderness of Saarhu, he suddenly remembered that the dying scholar had grabbed his collar, sprayed blood and said: "Changle... Peace... Comes at a price..." He looked at the setting sun and finally understood. The price was for him, for them, for a whole generation of people who were crushed into the dirt without even being able to leave a name.
