In the sixth year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil.
Inside, there were Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong rising up, outside there were the Hou Jin cavalry looking at them with eager eyes, and there were even Dutch and Spanish colonists on the coast.
Li Guang accidentally traveled through time and became the son of a young blacksmith in Jiangnan.
With two hundred years of technology and management knowledge, he started from improving firearms and textile machines to establishing steam engine factories, railway networks, and global navies.
He used iron and blood to reshape the military power of the Ming Dynasty, used economy and system to stabilize the world, and used fleets and colonies to develop global hegemony.
From the Suzhou workshop to the Beijing Imperial Palace, from the Liaodong snowfields to the Nanyang Islands, from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean,
See how a little man used the wave of industrialization to push the declining Ming Dynasty to the top of the world.
This is a story about technology, war, system and human nature.
It is also a legend that civilization entered the industrial age two hundred years ahead of schedule.
——Wherever the sun and moon shine, and where the rivers reach, they are all the land of the Ming Dynasty!
