In the tenth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant, was critically ill. As the first son of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Jingxiu knew that the countdown to the execution of his entire family had begun.
Can't save dad? Can't fight against the Ming Dynasty? Zhang Jingxiu sneered, turned around and resigned from the official position, bearing the reputation of a playboy and a prodigal, and went south to become a down-and-out maritime merchant.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty thought that the Zhang family was extinct, and Emperor Wanli thought that he was finally in control.
Until the Korean War broke out, the Liaodong Jurchens first showed their talents, and the Ming Dynasty treasury was empty. Wanli suddenly discovered that the son of the former criminal minister had taken control of the southeastern maritime trade, reshaped the firearms elite, and became the shadow emperor that the Ming Dynasty could not eradicate!
"Your Majesty, Ming Dynasty is ill. The ministers are not here to seize the country, but to treat the illness."
