Raise the Great Saber!

Liu Yao, a history major, returns to the nineteenth year of the Wanli reign, just before Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s invasion of Korea. Ordered to raise an army to defend against Japanese pirates in Southern Zhili, Liu Yao joins Shanxi commander Li Rusong in resisting the Japanese and aiding Korea.

Stage One: Liu Yao travels back and forth between the Wanli era and the eve of the July 7 Incident. He throws himself into the fray and does everything he can to save the historical figures he knows so well.

Stage Two: Liu Yao forms a deep bond with the young Zhu Changluo and saves him before the Red Pill Case.

Stage Three: Thanks to Liu Yao’s support, the Ming army wins a great victory at the Battle of Byeokjegwan. This directly or indirectly changes the later fates of several major figures, and Yang Hao is no longer the Ming commander at Sarhu.

Stage Four: Liu Yao discovers that timelines from multiple eras are becoming intertwined, and history is beginning to change. Perhaps, if he returns to May 12 of that year, he can save even more people.

“I don’t understand quantum mechanics or the multiverse, and I don’t know anything about parallel universes or time travel. I just want them all to survive.”, Liu Yao (2008 edition)

First book: The first few volumes may be a little stiffly written. I hope you’ll grit your teeth and keep reading. I, your humble general, am ready to accept the criticism and suggestions of all you commanders.
