In 1614, Zhao Mingyuan transmigrated into the hellish battleground of the Siege of Osaka.
But he soon realized something was wrong with this world!
The Great Song Dynasty had never fallen and ruled the seas, while the Mongol cavalry had regrouped and swept across Eurasia!
And he was nothing but a foot soldier destined to die?
Just as despair took hold, the [Soul Merchant System] awakened!
All he had to do was kill enemies to seize their souls, strengthen his body, unlock a tech tree centuries ahead of its time, and exchange souls for all kinds of supplies!
[You have wiped out the Tokugawa Ii Red Brigade. Souls collected: +600!]
[You spent souls to unlock the 2-pound Frankish cannon: combined infantry and artillery tactics make their first impact in Japan!]
[You killed the old turtle Tokugawa Ieyasu. Japan has plunged back into the chaos of the Warring States!]
[You have killed over ten thousand enemies on the battlefield. Napoleon cannons and breech-loading rifles unlocked!]
Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu (crushing his teacup): “That Red Devil of the Sanada! Why are his cannons lined up right in front of my army?!”
Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II: “General Zhao, the title of Count of Dresden awaits you. Please defend me against the enemies in the west!”
Emperor Zhao Sheng of the Great Song Empire: “King of Daxia, that throne is yours by right! Change the name of the dynasty? Change it! At once!”
Crown Prince Arutai of the Great Mongol Empire: “What? The Daxia army is at the city gates? Quick! Hurry and present my letter of surrender to the Xia Emperor!”
From a doomed cannon-fodder soldier at Osaka Castle to the king of mercenaries across Eurasia.
From a border count of the Holy Roman Empire to the gravedigger of the Great Song, then ruler of the new Daxia dynasty!
While the Mongol cavalry continued to swallow up Eastern Europe, he had already led the people of Huaxia in building the world's only industrial empire and forging a torrent of steel!
Facing the rulers of the old era, he had only one quiet remark:
“My lord, times have changed.”
The beginning of this book is very slow. The author probably wanted to write about the protagonist's struggle to survive during this time period. To be honest, the beginning of the book was too slow. But after more than 10 chapters, the rhythm came out, and it was indeed okay. It can be used as a food book. It's just that it's difficult for this type of book to get popular on Tomato. However, the system settings are driven by the soul, which makes it feel more real than those systems that use mindless check-ins or mindless tasks. I just don't understand why the author started writing from the end of Japan's Warring States Period, and it seems that he has made up history and there is no Ming Dynasty. However, if the book is set in the late Ming Dynasty or Song Dynasty, and uses the system to develop domestically, it should be very interesting. Looking forward to the author's subsequent stories to see what's different about these fictional histories. I saw that the cover and introduction have also been changed. This cover looks much better than the previous one. The introduction is different from before. Did the author change the plot?
I saw a lot of comments and I'm looking forward to this book. To be honest, I am very happy as an author. It's just that this is my first time writing a book, and there are still many things I haven't written well. In the subsequent stories, I will try my best to tell this story well. Please leave some comments to let me know my shortcomings and improve them in the subsequent stories. Here I shamelessly give myself a five-star review. Thank you all book friends for your support. I also hope that Tomato will give me more, so that more people can read my book. 😄😄😄
The concept is clever, the plot is exciting, and the characters are also very positive.
The rivalry between the characters is well written, and the inner emotions are well described without being stereotyped or blunt.
The pace of the story is well controlled, with no interruptions.
The characters are cool, the plot is great, the logic is smooth, and the story is good.
A life of cheating doesn't need explanation, it's just fun. Super invincible stick
The character design of the protagonist is very successful, very creative, and integrates various elements, which is really good^ω^
It's a very good book. The author must work hard. There must be more, more, more, more...
Overall it's super good-looking, the plot is smooth and the pace is moderate. I love it.
