I dressed as the young emperor in the last years of Hongwu.
On the first day after he ascended the throne, there was an urgent report from the border: Beiyuan's 50,000 cavalry broke through the Great Wall, and Datong was in danger!
All civil and military officials in the court knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the national treasury is empty and the capital camp is weak. Please seek peace!"
I immediately uncovered the dragon case!
Seeking peace? These two words are not in my dictionary!
In three months, I ransacked the homes of nine moths, and three million taels of silver went into the national treasury.
In half a year, three thousand new troops were trained, equipped with rifled guns, field artillery, and modern formations - the nightmare of the prairie cavalry was coming!
Outside Datong City, the Beiyuan Cavalry launched a charge.
I stood in the formation and waved my order:
"New Ming Army—line up to shoot, fire!"
Guns fired, and a steel storm swept across the grassland.
That day, the people of Beiyuan finally understood: times have changed.
But this is just the beginning.
In three years, steel plants roared and railways connected the north and south.
In five years, ironclad ships have been launched into the sea, and machine guns have taught the world what firepower is.
In ten years, merchant ships from all countries have gathered in the sky, and the economic rules of the world are written by me!
The civil servant scolded me for "not doing my job properly"?
I replaced the rotten scholars with a hundred thousand technocrats.
The enemy said that I "do not follow martial ethics"?
I looked at the machine gun position with a smile. No matter how invincible the knight dared to raise his head.
This is the most hardcore time travel——
There is no system of charity, only knowledge crushing.
There is no fantasy about immortality, just steel and gunpowder.
There is no palace struggle, only industrialization and the rise of great powers.
The sun, moon, mountains and rivers are always there, but the Ming Dynasty... Has become a torrent of steel, unstoppable!
