Zhu Yuanzhang Transmigrates to the Chongzhen Era and Rebuilds the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes and found himself transmigrated into Chongzhen, who had just ascended the throne. Facing an empty treasury, he sneered: "Confiscate their estates!" Facing officials who had formed cliques, he ordered: "Flay them and stuff their skins with grass!" Facing the imperial clan that was bleeding the Ming dry, he drew his sword: "I made the rules, and I'll be the one to change them!" Wei Zhongxian knelt before him, waiting to die. He said coolly, "You old dog, can you still bite?" Yuan Chonghuan petitioned to pacify Liaodong in five years. He scoffed: "Five years is too long. I'll lead the campaign myself!" Wu Sangui amassed troops and defied orders at the border. He sent an edict: "My blade is meant for men with divided loyalties!" Hong Taiji sent an envoy to negotiate peace. He had the envoy executed to make an example of him: "I'll raze Shengjing to the ground!" Li Zicheng rebelled in Shaanxi. He personally toured the west: "I started out with nothing but a bowl. What do you have to compete with me?" He used the bloodiest methods to do what was right, killing until everyone trembled in fear! The Ming did not fall. It got its harshest emperor yet!
