After Being Tried by a Military Tribunal, I Laughed

For Fans of Late Ming Historical Military Fiction: The Best of the Best

Looking for books like I Passed Myself Off as Chongzhen's Son, Cut Through the Qing Army, and Revived the Ming. The battle scenes feel realistic, the characters fit their historical counterparts, and the payoff is well paced. The protagonist struggles to survive against the odds and plans carefully at every step. No massive tech-tree development and no golden finger.
