Great Ming: The Emperor Has Gone on a Killing Spree

Transmigrate to the Chongzhen era + Ming dynasty + soldier king + from the start + make money

When he wakes, the top soldier king has become the Chongzhen Emperor, Zhu Youjian. He faces a hellish start, beset by troubles at home and abroad: Later Jin cavalry are at the gates, the court officials bicker and undermine one another, the treasury is empty, and rebel bands are everywhere. The worst start in history? The soldier king just smiles. This is only a high-difficulty survival-mode dungeon.

“If killing can solve it, then it isn’t a problem.”

And so, the court’s whole style changes. He personally snaps the necks of nobles who embezzle military pay and hangs their heads at the camp gates. A treacherous merchant who sells out the country spends three days in the Imperial Prison before coughing up a fortune. While the Donglin scholars are still quoting the classics, a project progress chart and KPI assessment sheet are already laid out before the emperor. “What percentage of the campaign to pacify Liaodong have we completed this month? You want to debate the classics with Me? Show Me the numbers first!”

After binding with a virtuous empress, he gains national fortune attributes. He activates the System and makes his first ten-pull from the River of History gacha pool. A golden light descends, and Lu Xiangsheng steps out of the void, reigniting the spirit of the Tianxiong Army in the capital!

This is only the beginning. While others squabble over a few taels of silver, his Imperial Ming Institute of Technology has already developed cement and mass-produced flintlock guns. By the time Huang Taiji is plotting to invade, a “Guanning Iron Cavalry Special Operations Brigade” equipped with scopes and skilled in decapitation strikes and demolitions has already appeared beyond the passes.

Zhang Juzheng implements Examination and Appraisal Law 2.0, while Qi Jiguang trains a new firearms battalion. Then, one day, on the sacrificial altar, he uses the nation’s fortune as his guide and draws a legend: Champion Marquis Huo Qubing arrives across time and space, asking with a smile, “Your Majesty, where is the Xiongnu... no, the Later Jin royal court?”

From the bloody night in the capital to colossal ocean-going ships, from the Forbidden City’s heights to the battle of civilizations. This is the most radical royal operation in history, directed by a soldier king. Wherever the sun and moon shine, it is all Ming territory.
