Emperor Dajing unified the Eighteen Kingdoms Volume 1
Author: Duhu Xianfeng
[Introduction to the work]
Transformed into the young emperor of the Great Scenery, Li Xuan faced the beginning of hell:
Above the court, powerful ministers controlled state affairs, formed cliques for personal gain, and embezzled enough money to build another army. Within the palace walls, conspiracies abound, and a cup of poisonous tea could end his short career as emperor at any time.
Beyond the mountains and rivers, the seven vassal kings supported their own troops, split the soil and sealed the borders, and regarded the imperial power as nothing. On the national border, the seventeen countries are watching eagerly, with their cavalry knocking at the pass, ready to divide and eat this ancient empire at any time.
The internal treasury is empty, the armaments are depleted, and the people's morale is in disarray. This giant ship named "Dajing" is already riddled with holes and is on the verge of sinking.
But Li Xuan came.
He comes from an era that is familiar with rise and fall and has insight into people's hearts. Court game? He used an account book to stir up thunder and uproot the traitor who had been in power for twelve years. Arms depleted? He tempered his veterans with modern military training methods, and used tactics and firearms that transcended the times to create an invincible iron army.
Collect imperial merchants, copy huge corruption, and fill the national treasury. Reorganize the official system, use poor families, and reshape the court. Ping Fan Town, settling the frontier, and reuniting the mountains and rivers. Destroy all the countries, bring in all the countries, and unite the four seas.
From the deep palace to the bloody battlefield, from the temple calculation to the world chess game. This is an imperial road full of thorns and bones.
Let's see how the modern soul takes hold of ancient authority, uses thunderous means, and practices the way of an emperor. In this magnificent and troubled world, step by step, he kills powerful ministers, pacifies vassal towns, destroys countries, stabilizes mountains and rivers, and finally becomes the co-lord of eighteen kingdoms and the only one in the world!
