Taiping Heavenly Kingdom: The Heavenly Father’s Eighth Son Builds a Base

Transmigrate to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, conquer Japan, and snuff out the Meiji Restoration before it can begin. After transmigrating, Xu Ke claims to be the Heavenly Father's eighth son. Once he earns Hong Xiuquan's trust, he is appointed a general. Knowing how history unfolds, he decides against the doomed northward march and instead establishes a secure base in Guangdong and Guangxi. He uses Guangzhou's port to trade with foreigners and buy sturdy ships and powerful guns, pursues practical domestic policies, develops modern industry, and builds an invincible army armed with new ideas and new equipment. As the Heavenly Kingdom in Tianjing totters on the brink of collapse amid corruption and internal strife, a new regime quietly rises in the southern frontier. He, Xu Ke, will become the new king of this land. With the Qing court closing in, Tianjing growing suspicious, and the great powers watching hungrily, can he turn the tide single-handedly and forge a thorny path to a new era?
