At Thirteen, I Fled Famine for the City, Made a Fortune, Recruited Followers, and Claimed Territory

A special forces soldier is reborn as a poor thirteen-year-old farm boy. With his sixteen-year-old wife, his starving family of women, children, and elders, he flees famine and arrives in the capital, where he unlocks a pocket dimension. With not a single soldier under his command, he grabs territory right under the nose of the Manchu Qing prince Dorgon, killing the invaders, making money, recruiting followers, seizing land, and taking anything he can get. An age ripe for conquest, with a realm of breathtaking beauty to claim.
