[Initial save: The crooked-neck tree on Coal Hill, the Ming dynasty is doomed.]: Zhu Youjian: Load save. I’m done playing!
[Save One: Slaughter at Wumen Gate, seize eighty million taels.]: The Donglin Party: Your Majesty, please leave us a way to live!
[Save Two: Develop the steam engine, launch ironclad warships.]: Zheng Zhilong: My control of the seas is gone!
[Save Three: Global provincial administration plan officially underway.]: Louis XIV: The Ming governor-general has already arrived in Paris?
In his first life, he was suspicious and harsh, and in the end, all he could do was hang himself in despair.
This time, he had overwhelming strategic superiority and used modern knowledge to reap the rewards of a bygone age.
He reformed, broke through, built factories, and slaughtered foreign invaders!
He abolished the rigid exam essays and established five branches of government, using math and the sciences to smash the rotting Confucian crown.
The result: the Qing were destroyed, the bandit armies scattered, and the Western powers all became hired hands of the Ming.
Everyone: “Your Majesty, please stop inventing new weapons! There’s not enough of the planet left for you to conquer!”
