Title: The Expedition to Europe: Hong Taiji, the Qing's Scourge of God
Synopsis:
I, Hong Taiji, have been bound to something called a “Civilization Simulator.”
It tells me to stop fixating on the Central Plains and insists I march west, claiming I should lead the Jurchen civilization into the industrial age ahead of schedule.
At court, my royal brothers and beile call me mad for wanting to fight barbarians thousands of miles away over a dream.
I pull out blueprints for flintlock guns, slap down a map of Europe's mineral deposits, and tell them, “The silver the Spanish bring back from the Americas in one year is worth ten years of ours!”
While they're still gaping at the thought of tens of millions of taels of silver, I've already injected the Eight Banners' elite troops with body-enhancing serum.
Enough bickering.
I am Heaven's mandate.
“Either kneel and submit, or lie down in a coffin. Take your pick.”
Reader advisory: Nonstop action, breakneck pacing, and a heavy focus on technological superiority and civilizational conquest.
What's going on with the author? Did you forget in writing that the Ming Dynasty was not destroyed, so how come half of the southeastern half of the country suddenly listened to the Qing Dynasty???? Author, what are you doing?
