Chongzhen: I Don’t Hang Myself at Coal Hill, I Arrest the Entire Court Instead

Transmigrated to the end of the Ming Dynasty, he becomes the Chongzhen Emperor, Zhu Youjian, just before he hangs himself on Coal Hill?

As the white silk tightens around his neck, memories from his previous life surge back. He sees Li Zicheng storming the capital, the Qing army entering the pass, the Ten Days of Yangzhou... and the blood-soaked future of a China sinking into a century of humiliation!

"I’m not dead yet, so why should the Great Ming fall?!"

Defy fate and change history, starting by seizing money!

Kill dukes, raid the chief minister’s home, and strip the parasites of their mountains of gold and silver!

The civil officials urge me to die for the state? I’ll send them on their way first!

The rebel army is about to breach the city? Then I’ll take two hundred fearless men and seize food, silver, and weapons!

In this life, I don’t care about appearances. I only care about the empire!

Head south to Huaian, take control of the Grand Canal, bring the warlords to heel, and rebuild an iron army.

Firearms, provisions, and popular support: I want it all!

When the army is strong and ready, I’ll march north to reclaim the Central Plains, destroy the Qing army and the rebels, and restore the lands of the Great Ming!
