Ming Dynasty: From the Start, I Traded a Glass Cup for Gold

In 1628, the first year of the Chongzhen reign, the Little Ice Age brought a severe drought to northern Shaanxi. Thousands of miles of land lay barren, and corpses of the starving littered the countryside.

Starting in Qingyang Prefecture, Lu Li used his golden finger, which let him transmigrate back and forth between the late Ming dynasty and the modern era, to stir up a storm.

Li Zicheng: "Our Great Shun is destined by Heaven to rule. Are you all trying to defy Heaven?"

Lu Li: "Take a look at my formation of breech-loading rifles, and then you can try phrasing that again."

Li Zicheng: ...

Hong Taiji: "The Jurchen are invincible once we have ten thousand men. My Eight Banners cavalry will trample anyone who stands in the way of the rise of my Great Qing!"

Lu Li: "How about this RPD light machine gun I just picked up at an antiques warehouse? Want to learn about it?"

Hong Taiji: ...

Zhu Youjian: "Minister Lu, what do you think of my two daughters? Pick one. If you don't marry one, I won't be able to sleep. Or why not marry them both?"

Lu Li looked at the two adorable little girls, and a mass of black lines appeared over his head...

In short, this is the story of a trader stirring up a storm in the late Ming dynasty.
