Great Ming: After the Red Pill Poisoning, I Defy Heaven and Change the Dynasty!

So many people read the history of the late Ming and can’t help but sigh in grief: lamenting the tragic fate of Xiong Tingbi, whose head was sent to the Nine Frontiers; mourning Lu Xiangsheng, sacrificed to factional strife; and remembering the saying, “When Chuanting died, the Ming died.” Reborn as the Taichang Emperor, Zhu Changluo is determined to defy fate and change history. But the moment he steps into the fray, he discovers that the Ming is already mired in a quagmire. Liaodong is on the verge of falling to the Jurchen invaders, factional rivalries roil the imperial court, and the She and An rebellions are about to erupt. The Ming dynasty is beset by countless ills and nearing its end; the vast realm is battered by storms, on the brink of collapse! As a scholar of Ming history, how can he stand by as the land is torn apart and its people suffer? Can Xiong Tingbi still hold back the Jurchen cavalry? Will the She and An rebellions still sweep across the southwestern half of the realm? Will a great drought still strike the northwest, giving rise to the rebel king who topples the capital? Will the calamity of the Jiashen Year, twenty-four years from now, happen all over again? The history books have already written the ending. This time, Zhu Changluo will write an answer with no regrets.
