Great Ming: Upgrade Civilization and Build an Empire Where the Sun Never Sets

Reborn during the Hongzhi era of the Ming dynasty, he became Zhu Houwei, younger brother of the reigning Crown Prince Zhu Houzhao.

At the same time, the Civilization Upgrade System awakened. As long as he fulfilled the requirements for a civilization upgrade in any field, he could raise that field's level of civilization.

Seeing this, Zhu Houwei naturally wasted no time in setting out to upgrade civilization, so he could enjoy the conveniences of a later age.

But just then, he heard that Japanese pirates had invaded.

He upgraded the Divine Machine Battalion into a modern army, marched into Japanese territory with automatic rifles, and attacked the shogunate.

What? A fleet of Ferengi ships has arrived by sea, claiming to be invincible?

Wooden warships became ironclads. Firing cannons would be unfair to you, so let's just ram each other!

Many years later, Zhu Houwei looked at the map, where Ming territory stretched from where the sun rose to where it set, and sighed helplessly:

"Sigh, I only wanted to make life a little more convenient. How did we end up with an empire on which the sun never sets?"
