In the third year of the Chongzhen reign, the empire stood on the brink of collapse.
Li Huaian, an ordinary programmer, woke up one day as a low-ranking officer in a border garrison at Xuanfu, struggling to keep his men above the line between hunger and cold.
Before him, the soldiers were gaunt and their armor rusted. Mongol raiders watched from beyond the border, while factional strife consumed the court and no one cared whether the frontier survived. The history books said that within a little over a decade, the great Ming dynasty would collapse completely, plunging hundreds of millions into misery.
He had no golden finger, only a modern person's way of solving problems.
While others still relied on traditional military strategy to deploy their troops, he was using data to optimize logistics, algorithmic thinking to analyze the enemy, and systems theory to overhaul the garrison's administration.
From improving the firing reliability of matchlock guns to designing a modular city-wall defense system;
from using statistical models to predict where the Later Jin would breach the frontier to building the Ming dynasty's first intelligence data network;
from low-ranking officer to regional commander to garrison chief, he would climb step by step into the heart of power within the Forbidden City...
This was an unprecedented path to saving the nation:
He used project management to coordinate the implementation of reforms, encryption algorithms to transmit classified military intelligence, and even drew up a reform timetable for the Chongzhen Emperor in the form of a Gantt chart.
As Li Zicheng's army drew near Beijing and Huang Taiji's cavalry once again broke through the passes
Li Huaian stood before his newly armed troops. Behind him stood the rudimentary beginnings of an industrial base, and on the table lay A Five-Year Plan for the Ming Dynasty's Modernization.
At this moment, history took a different turn.
The plot is compact, the logic is clear, and it is historically accurate. It is a rare good historical article. Please update the author quickly, it's not enough to read, please please 😢😢😢
Come and take a look, everyone, another good book is published here, and its quality is definitely among the top ten in Tomato. I am really lucky to be able to read such a good book in my lifetime!
It's good to watch, the protagonist should develop and beat up the slaves!
Not bad, I have the urge to read more
This is really a good historical novel. Although there are some minor problems in details, the flaws are not concealed. I hope the author will continue to work hard.
The article is emotionally delicate and the characters are well portrayed. It is a rare good article. It is not enough to read. I hope the author can add more chapters every day 🤭 Highly recommended! Different from the stereotyped time-travel routines, the protagonist does not rely on cheats, but uses the cognitive advantages of modern people to manage people's livelihood and conquer all directions. The large-scale family and country narrative is paired with a compact game plot, the war scenes are magnificent, the power battles are interlocking, the characters are vivid, and the reading has a strong sense of substitution. It is a rare masterpiece.
Objectively speaking, the author wrote this novel carefully, but he was not ruthless enough in the early stage, but he wrote it carefully enough. I hope he can write better in the future.
It's already great to be able to write a time-travel novel like this
The writing is delicate and worth reading, but sometimes the main line is not strong enough!
There are details and descriptions well. It's a good book.
