Transmigrating as Chongzhen: I Rebuild the Great Ming into an Empire for the Ages

One second, I was complaining that Chongzhen was a total sucker. The next, I became the unlucky guy who would be hanged on Coal Hill? I, Zhu Youjian, refuse to accept this!

When I open my eyes, the throne is barely warm. The civil officials are yammering, the eunuch faction holds all the power, rebels are almost at the gates of the capital, and a group of foreign powers is watching hungrily from outside... What is this, a hell-difficulty start?

Fine, then none of you gets to live! I've brought the knowledge and temper of the twenty-first century with me. You think I'm going to let a bunch of ancients bully me?

Kill! Wei Zhongxian, is it? I'll chop off your head first to raise the banner! The upright men of the Donglin Party? If you've dared to embezzle or curse me, none of you are getting away! You want to play political games with me? I'll flip the table and crush you with technology from a different age!
