Late Ming: I'm Really Not a Bandit

Year 1633, the sixth year of the Chongzhen reign.

Small bands of rebel forces, once scattered across the land, decided to unite.

Joining forces to survive, they traveled from Shaanxi into Shanxi.

That same year, Li Mo was reborn as a bandit leader of the Thirty-Six Camps.

With ten thousand elderly people, women, and children, Li Mo left the rebel army led by Wang Ziyong, Li Zicheng, and others.

Li Mo searches for a base of operations, develops industry on a grand scale, produces steel and firearms, builds a new army, destroys the Tartars, and colonizes overseas lands.

P.S. No System. A traditional historical novel about industrial development. If you're tired of reading about imperial grandsons and emperors' grandfathers, give this tale of ordinary people rising to power a try.

This novel and its characters are entirely fictional. Any resemblance is purely coincidental. Do not imitate.
