Chongzhen: I Sent the Crown Prince to Crush the Rebels, but He Took the Throne?

In the sixteenth year of the Chongzhen reign, the Ming dynasty lay shattered, and the land was rife with filth and bloodshed.

A modern man with a background in science and engineering transmigrates to the past, becoming Zhu Cilang, the last crown prince of the Ming!

Within the realm, rebel bandits such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong run rampant. Beyond the borders, the Jurchen barbarians eye the lands within the passes, waiting to invade. The plague spreads, soldiers and civilians alike are laid low, corpses litter the land for thousands of miles, and humans and livestock devour one another!

The young, brilliant ruler Zhu Cilang will outwit the greatest warlords in the realm and slaughter his foes in every direction. He will turn the tide, restore the nation's fortunes, and usher in a new golden age for the Han people!

He will restore order at court, drill the troops, build firearms, and revive the spirit of a mighty nation, making rebel bandits and foreign invaders vanish in an instant!

He will lift the sea bans, build factories, and launch a great revival of construction, allowing Han civilization to spread far across the seas!

Wherever the cannons can reach is Ming territory. Wherever ironclad warships patrol is Ming sea. Wherever the empire's fierce cavalry rides is Ming land!
