Back to the Late Ming: Reforging the Iron-Blooded Qin

In 1644, the seventeenth year of the Chongzhen era of the Ming dynasty and the first year of the Shunzhi era of the Qing, Li Zicheng established the Great Shun and began mustering his forces in the first month to march on the Ming capital. Wu Sangui shaved his head and surrendered to the Qing, while the arrogant Dorgon led the main Qing forces through the pass. The curtain rose on three hundred years of darkness.

Sun Chengzong died. Lu Xiangsheng died. Sun Chuanting died. Hong Chengchou surrendered. Beneath the wheels of fate, different people made different choices. When the Eight Banners entered the pass and defeated the rebels, shot Zhang Xianzhong, and Li Zicheng died at Jiugong Mountain, the fortunes of the Huaxia people sank to rock bottom.

Chen Zining transmigrated to this era with a Civilization System and resolutely chose to activate the Qin civilization.

The Ming dynasty and Huaxia were plagued by deep-rooted ills that could not be cured. Only by rebuilding the Great Qin could the crisis be resolved.

What he wanted was not the tyrannical Qin's limitless exactions and lack of restraint, but Qin's system of awarding noble rank for military merit, its efficiency, its civil administration, its military system, and its invincible army!

Farming, fishing, clearing wasteland, drying salt, mining, smelting steel, building cannons, raising troops by the thousands…

With one hand, Chen Zining became a frenzied builder of infrastructure; with the other, he raised a massive army, swept away every enemy, pacified the world, reclaimed his homeland, and ultimately dominated the globe.
