Chongzhen: a Thousand Miles of Bloodshed

In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty collapsed and there was a great famine in the Central Plains. Song Jin was defeated and a hundred thousand troops were wiped out. Lu Chen, who stepped on the body of his comrade and fled back to the pass, did not wait for the reward, but only waited for a piece of paper from the sea arrest document. For half a piece of broken silver, he became a deserter who picked up the dead in a mass grave. Until that day, he dug out a "male corpse" from the snow pit. It was the remnant of Master Shen, the Minister of War, an orphan girl who was pursued by the civil and military officials of the dynasty for carrying the blood of the imperial court's collaboration with the enemy. Shen Qingyuan used a top-quality jade pendant and a shocking secret to buy Lu Chen's sword: "Guard me to Nanjing. Half of the land in Jiangnan belongs to you." Lu Chen looked at the girl in front of him who would freeze to death in the snow at any time, sneered, and sheathed the knife. Going to Nanjing? That's throwing yourself into a trap. The annihilation of the officers and soldiers, the plunder of the rogue bandits, the betrayal of the former comrades... This journey of thousands of miles of escort was a dead end at every step. But he still took the deal. Because he wanted to see how stubborn this daughter of a criminal official who was forced into a desperate situation by the Ming Dynasty could be in this chaotic world of cannibalism. … "Lu Chen, why are you protecting me?" "For money." "What if they don't even give me money when I get to Nanjing?" "Then the Ming Dynasty is no longer worthy of my protection." This is the story of a soldier of a defeated army and an orphan girl of a guilty minister, licking each other's wounds on a desperate journey of thousands of miles, and finally overthrowing this decadent dynasty.
