The Ming is too rotten to save; the Qing is too cruel to serve. So in 1638, he takes the tripod of empire for himself.
On the knife-edge year before the Ming falls, a man who refuses both a dying dynasty and a rising conqueror raises his own banner — a brutally practical late-Ming military saga of armies, granaries and betrayal.
