Yimeng Dragon Cauldron: Sovereign of the Cosmos
Li Hao, a modern military-industrial engineer, unexpectedly transmigrates to Linyi in the late Ming dynasty, just as Qing troops massacre his village and slaughter his family. China is on the brink of collapse, and foreign invaders run rampant. The cataclysms of the Yangzhou Massacre and the Jiading Massacres are about to unfold.
Consumed by a blood feud and armed with advanced military-industrial knowledge and foresight into history, Li Hao retreats into the mountains of Yimeng. Using a valley as his base, he plants high-yield crops, builds improved firearms, gathers refugees and scattered soldiers, and forms the "Yimeng Elite." From ambushing Qing troops with just three hundred men to launching a surprise raid on Linyi and executing traitors; from carving out an anti-Qing stronghold in Shandong to marching north, storming Yanjing, and capturing the Shunzhi Emperor alive, he unifies China in six years, ascends the throne, names his dynasty "Huaxia," and adopts the era name Hongwu.
With Linyi as the heart of his military industry, steam engines roar to life, railways link north and south, and steam-powered ironclad ships set sail. He takes Taiwan, drives out Russia, pacifies the South Seas, crushes the European powers, and sweeps across Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas, planting the dragon banner of Huaxia across all five continents.
This is a thrilling epic that begins with a blood feud in Yimeng and ends with the unification of China and the conquest of the cosmos. Watch Li Hao wield technology as his blade and popular support as his shield, drive out the invaders, build industry, and expand his borders, until he becomes the "Cosmic Emperor" before whom all nations come to pay tribute, writing a legendary pinnacle of Huaxia civilization that spans the ages!
