The Qing Dynasty: I Am the Heir to the Beiyang Fleet

As the saying goes, inheriting your father's business is only natural!

My father is Li Hongzhang, founder of the Beiyang forces. Naturally, I should inherit them.

Li Yuan, a military enthusiast, transmigrates into the late Qing Dynasty and becomes Li Jingyuan, Li Hongzhang's third son, who was supposed to die young. From that moment on, history takes a different course.

At sixteen, he becomes a prefect. At eighteen, he rebels. At twenty, he drives out the Tartars, establishes the Beiyang Empire, and restores Han rule!

An ancient nation awakens from its slumber and escapes its tragic fate.

In the Jiawu year, the Japanese, backed by the British, attack Beiyang, hoping to rise to power by trampling it underfoot.

In this battle that will determine the fate of the entire nation, Beiyang strikes back, breaks the Japanese people's backbone, and cuts off their path to power.

The Russians want to occupy the entire north and establish a Yellow Russia. They, too, are defeated and lose half of Siberia.

The newly established Beiyang Empire rises to become one of the world's great powers by stepping on the Russians, arriving just in time to take part in dividing up the world.
