Surrender, Kangxi! You’re Standing in the Way of Unification

Transmigrating as the son of a rebel, Lin Yan was in hell mode from the start.

Torrential rain, the Yellow River changing course, corrupt officials running rampant, his parents brutally killed, the imperial court hunting him down, and all he had left were a few hundred battered soldiers and a little sister trembling with hunger.

But he had poverty-relief experience in one hand, memories of military service in the other, and a transmigrator’s body with terrifyingly fast healing and enough strength to shatter stone.

From fleeing across Gaoyou Lake to making a name for himself at Yanghu Point, he took on the second-in-command alone, rallied the remnants, launched a surprise attack on the river defense camp, seized ships, and sailed down to Yangzhou!

In front of the City God Temple, he knocked Nian Gengyao flying with a single thrust of his spear, hunted down Yinzhen, beheaded Yinxiang, and slaughtered the imperial envoys, stunning the entire court.

Kangxi flew into a rage, the Crown Prince was terrified, and the Eighth Prince’s faction secretly rejoiced. None of them knew that Lin Yan had already laid a world-shaking plan:

He founded the Great Harmony Society and the Thunderbolt Army, distributed land, enlightened the people, smelted steel, built firearms, seized control of the salt and iron trades, and won the people’s hearts.

He lured Arantai’s twenty thousand troops into Longgang and wiped them out in the mountains and forests;

He intercepted five thousand matchlock guns and gladly pocketed a million taels of silver;

Dai Zi cast cannons for him, Wu Sidao devised strategies for him, and Nian Shilan fell in love with him.

“You call me a bandit? No. I’m the gravedigger of this decaying dynasty.”
