Late Ming: I, Chongzhen, Subdue the World with My Fists!

In 1644, the year the Ming dynasty was supposed to fall, a miracle occurred just as the Chongzhen Emperor was about to hang himself from a branch in the southeast. The spirits of his ancestors appeared and bestowed upon Zhu Youjian a miraculous book powerful enough to turn the tide. The book not only granted him godlike martial prowess, but also let him gain a year’s worth of cultivation for every day he trained! From then on, he set out to speedrun the reconquest of the realm. In one month, he reclaimed the capital. In three, he crushed Li Zicheng’s rebellion. By June, he had driven the Manchu army led by Dorgon back beyond the frontier... A year later, the Ming’s territory had doubled, and it had become a true empire on which the sun never set!
