Chapter 1 The Age of Blood and Fire!
The 14th year of Yongli in the Ming Dynasty, the 17th year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, and 1660 in the Western calendar.

Nanyang, Manila!

"..."

"Brother Yu, Brother Yu, wake up!"

"How do you feel now?"

A voice rang in his ears, waking him up from his drowsiness.

Zhu Hongyu struggled to open his eyelids, which seemed to be glued together, and looked around.

The space was low and cramped, and the air was filled with a strong smell of sweat and blood.

Sniffing carefully, the smell of blood came from himself.

"I... am I not dead?"

Zhu Hongyu opened his mouth, his voice hoarse and dry, like rough sand rubbing against the depths of his throat.

"Brother Yu, it's great that you're alright!"

Li Guangyuan's voice was full of uncontrollable excitement and joy.

"The supervisor was too ruthless during the day, I almost thought you would not be able to survive!"

Zhu Hongyu looked at the people around him, and gradually recalled information about this person in his mind.

But thinking about it this time, it seemed like a switch valve had been opened.

Severe pain surged like mountains and seas, as if someone lifted his cap, poured cement into his skull, and stirred it crazily with a mixer.

Two completely different memories began to collide and merge in the depths of his mind...

His name is Zhu Hongyu, and he belongs to the Ming clan of the King of Chu.

After the Jiashen national calamity, the Qing army entered the pass, and at the same time they marched all the way south, wherever they went, they hunted down and massacred the clan of the Ming Dynasty.

My father and his young self fled all the way from the south of the Central Plains to Manila in order to avoid the capture and massacre of the Qing army.

During the flight to the south, Zhu Hongyu and his father were the only ones who died among a dozen members of the family.

But just a year ago, my father went to sea to do business, and encountered shipwreck on the way back.

At the age of 17, he lost his last relative and source of livelihood.

I was tricked into working as a coolie in the mine!
But in another memory, he is also called Zhu Hongyu, a senior veteran of the rabbit family's strongest army on the surface.

Enlisted in the army, after two years as a knife scout, was selected to serve in the Special Forces.

With the fusion of the two memories, a feeling of joy surged up!

Before crossing, he was carrying out a secret mission.

At the last moment of the mission, the crazy criminals ignited the explosives.

Fifty kilograms of high explosive exploded at close range, Zhu Hongyu did not expect that he survived!
Although it has traveled to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, this era of blood and fire is still a living hell for the Chinese in Manila.

But it's better to be alive than dead!
After sorting out the memories in his mind, Zhu Hongyu said to the people around him.

"Guangyuan, thank you for carrying me back."

Today, I was knocked unconscious by the supervisor in the mine, and was beaten until I was seriously injured and dying. It was Li Guangyuan who carried me back.

Li Guangyuan is a brother who grew up with him.

It was also a Chinese who moved to Manila with his family after the Jiashen Incident!
The two are neighbors, and Li Guangyuan's family background is not very good.

His father died of illness on the way to Nanyang, and his mother raised Li Guangyuan, a younger brother and a younger sister alone.

Zhu Hongyu and Li Guangyuan were tricked into the mine together, and they have been taking care of each other.

He was beaten by the supervisor today, and Li Guangyuan rushed to the scene after hearing the news.

But when he arrived at the scene, everything was over and the supervisor had left.

Only Zhu Hongyu was left on the spot, lying on the ground weakly, on the verge of life and death.

All he could do was bring Zhu Hongyu back to the shack, and he couldn't change anything else.

While speaking, Zhu Hongyu's stomach growled.

Zhu Hongyu hadn't eaten all day, and Zhu Hongyu was extremely hungry.

"Brother Yu, here it is!"

Li Guangyuan took out a pancake from his pocket, and quietly stuffed it to Zhu Hongyu.

"Brother Yu, eat quickly, don't let people see, I know you were knocked out by the supervisor and didn't eat, so I specially left it for you!"

Zhu Hongyu took the pancake and looked at Li Guangyuan without blinking, his heart was full of emotion.

In order to save costs, the colonists not only did not pay these miners wages, but even the food was pitiful.

Each person is assigned a daily quota, and only work can have food!
Because the colonists wanted to ensure that the Chinese miners would be so hungry that they would have no energy to make trouble and revolt after finishing their work.

This means that if the pancakes are left to Zhu Hongyu, Li Guangyuan himself will be hungry.

Li Guangyuan was a little uncomfortable seeing Zhu Hongyu's eyes, scratched his head and said.

"Brother Yu, eat quickly!"

Just as he was talking, his stomach was growling.

Zhu Hongyu nodded and said sincerely.

"Thank you Guangyuan!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Hongyu was ready to eat pancakes.
