Overthrowing the Qing: Lord He, Let’s Work Harder and Embezzle More!

Reborn as Chen Zhongxian, Minister of Revenue, he serves in the same court as Ji Xiaolan and Heshen.

With the goal of bringing down the Qing dynasty, he embezzles disaster-relief funds from the start, provoking a mutiny in Guangxi.

Then he embezzles grain, causing the Eight Banners to lose battles. He builds Qianlong a garden made of tofu, hoards tribute, kills worthy Qing officials, and manufactures miscarriages of justice...

In short, I'll do anything that can bring down the Qing dynasty!

He establishes a school for science and democracy, hires foreigners to manufacture matchlocks and cannons, and trains a new Han army to serve him...

Qianlong, his long queue braid swaying: "For this battle, let the worthy and capable Chen Zhongxian serve as commander. I will personally take the field."

Chen Zhongxian: "Troops, follow me in overthrowing the Qing! We'll establish a brand-new nation, one that never cedes territory or pays indemnities, isn't bullied by foreigners, and isn't mired in backward thinking!"
