The Struggle at the End of Nanming

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Beijing fell and the Ming Dynasty perished. When the news reached Nanjing, hundreds of officials cried bitterly. Some wanted to escape, some wanted to surrender, and some wanted to be heroes of the dragon. Li Yan, a small official who traveled from modern times, wanted to survive in troubled times. But when he saw with his own eyes the tragic scene of the Qing army's massacre of the city, and saw the people in Jiangnan reduced to the souls of the sword, he understood one thing Surrender is also death. Then fight. There was no army, so he started training as a rural warrior. Without food and salary, he copied corrupt officials and cleared out farmland. Without firearms, he found craftsmen to imitate Hongyi cannons, make grenades, and make flintlock guns. From defending a city, to defending a province, to recovering half of the country. Some people say that he was the last loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, while others say that he wanted to be Cao Cao's traitor. Li Yan didn't care about this. He only remembers one sentence: "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." He is not a common man. He is someone who came back from four hundred years ago. He wants to change the master of this world.
