Zhu Ming: War on Fire

Lin Yan, a doctor of history, was accidentally led by a bluestone engraved with mysterious patterns during an archaeological operation in the Taihang Mountains. He traveled to the Mobei grassland in the 20th year of Hongwu and possessed an ordinary infantryman of the defeated army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. At this time, the famous Ming Dynasty general Lan Yuzheng raided Naha and left the camp. The surrender ceremony suddenly changed. The original historical trajectory suddenly deviated. The mutiny broke out in advance. Tens of thousands of surrenders were instantly plunged into a bloody purgatory. As a time traveler, Lin Yan has no power to restrain a chicken, but he has an accurate understanding of the military history of the early Ming Dynasty and a clear control of the historical context. He escaped from a desperate situation and relied on wisdom and vision beyond his time to survive between the Ming Dynasty cavalry and the remnants of the Bei Yuan Dynasty. From the life-and-death struggle in the Mobei grassland, to the power play in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, to the iron-blooded guarding of the border defense line, Lin Yan rose from the bottom step by step, witnessing and participating in the key nodes of the rise of the Ming Dynasty. He not only has to deal with the calculations of top planners such as Lan Yu and Zhu Yuanzhang, but also has to resolve the counterattack of the remaining forces in Mobei, and also resist the covetousness of surrounding forces. The secrets hidden in the mysterious bluestone slabs, the chain reactions caused by historical deviations, and the survival plight of the people at the bottom are intertwined into a grand picture of the war in the early Ming Dynasty. Lin Yan used his body as a chess piece and the country as a scale to write his own legend of the Ming Dynasty in troubled times, trying to reverse the regrets and tragedies in the dust of history.
