The Iron-Blooded Scholar

When the light of technology tears through the darkness of a world in chaos, how can one scholar rewrite the fate of Huaxia? Amid the turmoil of the late Ming dynasty, during the bloody siege of Yangzhou, the transmigrated, failed scholar Lu Wenzhao arrives with a fragmentary copy of the Military Preparedness Treatise and mysterious parts for a flintlock, yet finds himself nearly overcome by despair. Crawling out from a heap of corpses, he gradually regains modern knowledge and ancient wisdom through a twist of fate. He joins the anti-Qing general Li Dingguo and sets off a civilizational leap from cold weapons to the Industrial Revolution. A feast for the mind for fans of historical military fiction, hard science fiction, late Ming novels, and everyone who believes that “knowledge is power.”
