Late Ming: Building My Own Power and Winning Hearts with Guns and Cannons

[Late Ming + No System + Not a Power Fantasy + Historically Grounded + Struggle for Supremacy + Defeat the Tartars + Overseas Colonization]

The year is 1637, the final years of the Ming dynasty. Natural disasters strike one after another, internal strife and external threats abound, and the empire teeters on the brink of collapse!

Luo Feng transmigrates into the body of a minor bandit chief. To survive, he has no choice but to use his wits to secure the backing of Li Dingguo.

Once his wings have grown strong, he flies solo, takes Xiangyang by trickery, captures Nanyang, seizes Tong Pass through careful planning, and establishes himself in Guanzhong.

Now that he's transmigrated, who would still be a bandit? Wouldn't it be better to kill the Tartars and become emperor?

So he returns to the Ming court and reinvents himself as a government soldier. He promotes foreign crops on a massive scale, vigorously develops people's livelihoods, and manufactures guns and cannons to strengthen the military.

With Sichuan and Shaanxi as his base, he establishes an independent domain. When the Ming falls and the Tartars invade the Pass, throwing the Central Plains into chaos, he leads his troops north with guns and cannons. He kills the Tartars, fights for the empire, takes the throne, and founds a new dynasty.
