Great Ming Dynasty 1638
【Power struggle · Hot-blooded · Conquest · No system · Exterminate Qing · Restore Ming】 【Slower-paced at the beginning, because many details are hidden】 In the 11th year of Chongzhen, at the Shaanxi human market. Chen Wang was tied to a wooden stake, waiting to be chosen like livestock. Beside him, a child who had starved to death last night had his eyeballs being gnawed by rats. The sun was about to set. Anyone not sold by tonight would be "dealt with." Chen Wang knew this was 1638. He knew that six years later Chongzhen would hang himself, that the Qing army would enter the passes, and how many people would die on this land next. But right now, he only wanted to know one thing: how to survive today. He swallowed two poisonous wild fruits and gambled with his life to get his first meal. Later someone asked him: You’re just a bookkeeper—how dare you be brothers with Zhang Xianzhong? How did you make Li Dingguo loyal to you? How did you make Shanxi merchants throw money at you? How did you get old Jinyiwei veterans to risk their lives for you? Chen Wang said: Because they all saw it—what my men looked like dying in front of them. Though the emperor may fall, the world must not. This is the story of a group of desperadoes who changed the world over ten years. No system, no cheat, only the boy who crawled out of the human market, and the group of fearless people standing behind him.
