In the third year of the Tianqi reign, as wood shavings filled the air, a man in his eighties, born under the red flag, unexpectedly transmigrated into the body of Zhu Youxiao, the Ming dynasty's Tianqi Emperor. History calls him the “Carpenter Emperor,” but no one knows that the body holds a soul from the future. Armed with six centuries of technological knowledge, he vows to reverse the Ming Dynasty's decline.
Yet beneath the imperial palace, undercurrents swirl, while beyond the court, the spread of Western learning brings even stranger upheavals. Among the “Western classics” brought by missionaries are forgeries that rewrite history: fabricated ancient Greek legends, exaggerated Roman achievements, and insidious passages that erase Eastern civilization... Zhu Youxiao gives a cold laugh and lays a wooden ruler across his workbench. Beneath his plane, he will craft not only ingenious mechanical war chariots and firearms, but also use evidence to shatter the West's carefully woven thousand-year web of lies!
“Since carpentry lets me shape the world, let wood shavings bury the lies.”
This time, he will let the glory of Chinese civilization shine through the darkness of a rewritten past.
Modern people have always had a misunderstanding that the information between the East and the West is interrupted! Not really. It was just that the people of the Qing Dynasty were interrupted, but the royal family and the Thirteenth Line of the Qing Dynasty were not interrupted. The Ming Dynasty is even less likely to be interrupted. The technological development level of the East and the West should be at the same latitude at the end of the Ming Dynasty. And had frequent exchanges.
It's okay, it's pretty good-looking.
The historical perspective is tricky and worth looking forward to!
Based on your idea, after reading the first chapter, I will give you five stars in advance.
The angle is indeed tricky. It is rare to see a time-travel work in the late Ming Dynasty that directly arrests missionaries.
