Introduction to "Iron-Blooded Revolution: Traveling through the Road to Hegemony in the Late Qing Dynasty"
Military expert Li Zhen accidentally traveled to the late Qing Dynasty in 1853 and possessed the body of a poor soldier who was forcibly recruited into the army. At this time, China was deeply involved in internal and external troubles: the Second Opium War was about to break out, the Taiping Rebellion swept the south, the Qing government was corrupt and incompetent, and the people were living in dire straits.
From struggling to survive on the cruel battlefield to witnessing the atrocities committed by the Qing army bureaucrats in severing lives and oppressing the people, Li Zhen gradually came to understand the truth of this decadent era. Relying on technological knowledge and military skills that transcended the times, he secretly improved weapons and equipment, united the oppressed soldiers and people, established a base in Xiangtan, and started the arduous journey of revitalizing China.
Faced with the Qing court's encirclement and suppression, the threat of the Taiping Army, the interference of Western powers, and even the entanglement of the mysterious organization "Tianlong Sect", Li Zhen led the team to start from scratch, starting from the most basic improvement of black powder, gradually establishing an ordnance industry system, and developing advanced equipment such as breech-loading rifles, field guns, and telegraph systems. In the life and death tests, he had to deal with both open and covert attacks, while also balancing the historical trend and the speed of change to avoid causing time and space chaos.
From a team of dozens of people to a force that affects the direction of history, Li Zhen's team must not only deal with the Qing court, but also deal with the early rise of Japanese militarism. The ultimate goal is to liberate the Chinese nation from a century of humiliation and build a prosperous and powerful New China.
