The Empress Seizes My Military Authority from the Start, So I Revolt!

(Alternate history, stockpiling supplies, developing farmland, technological dominance, and contending for the realm!) Shen Huo transmigrates into the body of a groveling general who shares his name. Despite commanding an army of 800,000 and 2,000 armored cavalry, the general meekly lets the Empress grow wary of him and strip him of his military power, before exiling him to Liangzhou. Shen Huo scoffs at him. If you love the Empress, go take her! If she won’t have you, then rebel! If you don’t even dare to rebel, what right do you have to say you love her? For the sake of his own wealth and glory, his family’s safety and happiness, and the chance to win the Empress, a top-of-the-line Ferrari, Shen Huo resolutely embarks on the path of rebellion! No money? Then he’ll use a Ponzi scheme to fleece the prominent families of the capital. No food? Then he’ll use modern farming techniques to grow potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn. No equipment? He’ll fuse ancient mechanical arts with modern steam engines to create new beasts of war. When Shen Huo returns to the capital with an army whose style is clearly out of place, the first thing he says is: “Your Majesty, I’d like to see you perform a pole dance. So, will you choose this pole, or mine?”
