Features: A dramatic and majestic war panorama, a modern "Three Kingdoms" tale of the Kuomintang regime's rise. Another war masterpiece by the author following The Brown Robe and The Black Glove! The short sword bestowed upon the meritorious general Yao Ji by Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty is priceless, but the eccentric "Monk Big Milk" considers it an omen of disaster, claiming its appearance heralds great calamity. The sword falls into the hands of Dai Li, who presents it to Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang, mimicking the sword's design, crafts the famous "Zhongzheng Sword" to win the loyalty of his generals. Yet Yao Ji's sword disappears without a trace, and China indeed falls into chaos. This book presents a fresh perspective on China's situation before the outbreak of the national war, revealing many previously unknown historical details. Against the backdrop of a series of dramatic conflicts, including the North China Incident, the September 18th Incident, and the January 28th War, historical figures such as Chiang Kai-shek, Yan Xishan, Zhang Xueliang, and Wu Peifu shed the dust of time, revealing their true faces.
