The People of Late Ming

(Late Ming Dynasty + Farming + Technological development + Rebellion by the lower classes + Killing landlords and gentry + Fighting the Tartars and Manchus + Unifying East Asia + Starting a colonial empire) When autumn comes, on the eighth day of the ninth month, my flowers bloom and every other flower dies. The loser Yan Yu’s soul transmigrated into the body of a poor farmer in the late Ming Dynasty. Since I’ve ended up in the late Ming, why transmigrate here if I’m not going to rebel and become emperor? I’ll mass-produce goods from a new age, build up my strength under the radar, and recruit troops and horses. I’ll make guns and cannons by hand, crush the bandit rebels at home, wipe out the Manchus beyond the borders, unify East Asia, and have nations from every direction come to pay tribute. I’ll promote education and enlighten the people, seeking to build a country where everyone is equal. But the old and new privileged classes will stand in my way. Watch how Yan Yu leaves a trail of severed heads in his wake.
