I Transmigrated to the Apocalypse, and They All Begged Me Not to Send Troops

Zhu Bowen is reborn as the Ming Dynasty's carpenter emperor, just as he falls into the water. The Ming Dynasty is already beset by turmoil, with internal and external crises reaching an alarming point. Abroad, the northern “wild boar skins” (Later Jin) have already seized Lushun, Shenyang, and other places, continually raiding the Ming frontier and making life unbearable for its people. At home, the treasury is empty, and even keeping the government running is a struggle. Meanwhile, factional infighting at court is fierce, with rival powers locked in bitter conflict, each refusing to yield. To the northeast, Goryeo is playing both sides. To the southeast, Westerners have begun occupying the Ryukyu Islands. The Ming Dynasty is at its most dangerous hour, on the verge of collapse. Zhu Bowen swears to turn the tide and save the Ming from disaster, pacify the frontier, strengthen the nation, and give the people peaceful, prosperous lives. He will lead the Ming overseas, conquer the world, and make the empire the one calling the shots.
