The Rise of the Regional Lords: My Fiefdom Conquers All

Wei Xuance transmigrated and became the least favored of the Great Wei Dynasty's seven princes. His mother was lowborn, his brothers bullied him, and the emperor despised him. An imperial edict made him the Prince of Yan and exiled him to the harsh and perilous northern frontier of Yanyun. In name, he was a prince; in truth, it was a death sentence! A dilapidated manor, withheld provisions, the Di Rong tribes circling outside, and powerful local clans carving up the land... It was hell mode from the start!

What looked like a dead end to everyone else became the starting point for his rise to greatness!

He lay low for ten years, building up his strength and training his troops. Then the old emperor died, and the capital was thrown into turmoil! The eunuch Wang Zhen seized control of the court, the wicked consort Xiao sowed chaos in the palace, and the puppet third prince ascended the throne. The realm was in uproar!

“The time has come!” Wei Xuance cried from high above, sending a proclamation throughout the land:

“Traitors hold power and deceived the late emperor! They persecute the loyal and bring chaos to the realm! Today, I raise the banner of Heaven to punish the rebels, purge the emperor's court, and restore order! Destroy the eunuch faction! Execute the wicked consort! Give Great Wei the clear skies it deserves!”

The Yanyun Iron Cavalry surged forth in full force! Black armor stretched like a forest, and firearms roared like thunder! They swept all before them, striking straight for the heart of the enemy! They broke through mighty passes, slew famed generals, and advanced to the gates of the imperial capital!

Wang Zhen was executed, Consort Xiao was beheaded, and the puppet emperor? He could go guard the imperial tombs!

Wei Xuance ascended the throne, declared himself emperor, and established a new era! He reformed the bureaucracy, eased taxes and labor demands, and won the people's hearts!

The Northern Di? The Western Rong? Southern Chu? The Japanese pirates? How dare they make noise in my realm? A million cavalry will sweep across the eight directions and six reaches under the majestic might of Heaven! Wherever the sun and moon shine and the rivers flow, it will all be Wei territory!
