In 1279, at the naval battle of Yashan, a hundred thousand soldiers and civilians leapt into the sea. The Great Song was doomed?
No. In this life, the Great Song will be reborn on the sea!
Lin Ji, a mechanical engineering student, transmigrates into the body of a gravely wounded Song army deputy general. Facing the Yuan cavalry and towering waves, he gives a cold laugh:
"Who says you can't turn the tide in the age of cold weapons? Give me the blueprints, and I'll build an industrial empire with my own hands!"
[Hardcore Start]
No System, just a head full of mechanical principles!
Boil water to prevent epidemics, use levers and pulleys to restore order.
Starting with five battered ships, he establishes the Great Song Protectorate on Taiwan, also known as Liuqiu.
[Industrial Military Might]
While others smelt iron by experience, he standardizes blast furnaces;
While others rely on arm strength to shoot arrows, he builds rifled muskets and multiple-barrel rocket launchers;
While others build ships powered by sails, he designs paddlewheel steam warships!
A "three-seven-five land rent reduction" wins the people's hearts, while "taxing per mu instead of per person" fills the treasury.
Five years to lay the foundations, ten years to raise an army. When the Yuan navy attacks again, they are met with an overwhelming rain of steel and fire!
[Rebuilding Huaxia]
Execute the Yuan envoy, reclaim Fujian, pacify the Two Guang provinces, and divide the realm at the Yangtze!
The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun return at last to Han rule.
Star forts stand across the northern steppes.
And a far-ranging fleet flying the dragon banner sails toward the unknown ocean of stars.
"The agony of Yashan will be avenged; from this day on, Huaxia civilization will rise from the sea and never sink again!"
It's beautiful. I like this kind of unsystematic writing.
