Your Highness, Don't Fight the Jurchens Yet, the Great Ming Is About to Fall!

After transmigrating into a bizarre parallel world, Zhu Cilang becomes the Crown Prince of the Chongzhen Emperor. Here, the Age of Exploration began three hundred years earlier, and the Manchu Qing somehow defeated Russia and completed its industrialization. While the Ming Dynasty is beset by internal strife and external threats, every other nation in the world has reached the mid-to-late stages of the Second Industrial Revolution!

The Western powers are advancing rapidly in both economic strength and technology. Even the short Japanese have overtaken others on the turns and become a world power, their powerful ships and cannons dominating all four oceans!

And the Ming Empire? At home, Donglin Party officials are ruining the country and bringing misery to its people, while Li Zicheng's Shun army is capturing cities and territory in the north. Abroad, the Manchus, the Japanese, and the Western powers are all eyeing the Ming hungrily!

Zhu Cilang is dumbfounded. What kind of hellish start is this?

Luckily, he binds to a System that opens a portal to the twenty-first century!

The rivers and mountains of the Ming still stand. In my hands, the Ming will become the world's one and only superpower!
