Fierce Vassal

He concealed his power, gathered people's hearts in the secret situation of the palace, sorted out the lifeblood of money and food from the broken account books, and rebuilt the foundation of military resources among the refugees and military households. Chen Ziyu, a down-and-out scholar, reorganized the civil affairs and property for him, Qin Feng, a warrior in the frontier army, tempered the edge of the new army for him, and Xiao Luzi, a young eunuch, helped him build a dark network of intelligence both inside and outside the country. Starting from Bozhou, he first pacified the people, reorganized the army, built workshops, and controlled trade routes, and then took advantage of the chaos in the southwest to encroach on the border areas, compete for Chongqing, and control the lifeblood of Sichuan and Guizhou. He gradually grew from a subordinate border vassal king to a regional hegemon in the southwest. However, the real storm has just begun. Rogue bandits in the Central Plains are rising together, and Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng are tearing apart the old mountains and rivers; there are constant party disputes in the court, Chongzhen is suspicious and ungrateful, and the Ming Dynasty is on the verge of collapse; Jiangnan gentry, Southeast maritime merchants, Southern Ming clan, and Qing court cavalry all have their own agendas and take turns entering the situation. When the emperor hanged himself, the capital fell, and China's legal system collapsed, Zhu Jingyu was finally pushed to the forefront of the times - what he had to face was no longer just the life and death of a corner of Bozhou, but the ownership of the entire world. In the name of Can Ming, do you want to be a lonely minister in troubled times? Or should we take advantage of the New Deal and rebuild order on top of the ruins? From dormant in the southwest to splitting the earth and fighting for balance; from the game of the Southern Ming Dynasty to the northern expedition to the Central Plains; from the decisive battle in the capital to the determination of Tibet, the control of Mobei, and the opening of the Far East - what Zhu Jingyu wanted to fight for was never just an imperial crown, but a thousands-mile mountain and river that could truly inherit the world, determine the borders, and usher in a new dynasty. "The Fierce Domain" - This is an epic story of a border vassal king who rose up from troubled times, used power to control the southwest, used the New Deal to conquer the world, and finally reshaped the empire's territory.
