[Transmigration] [Alternate History] [Political Intrigue] [Multiple Heroines] [Ancient Times] [Lighthearted Comedy] [Decisive and Ruthless] [Tyrant] [Industrial Revolution] [Technological Overmatch] [Global Domination]
Transmigrating to the late Ming, Lin Hai faces rebels within, the Jian captives eyeing the empire from without, and court officials mouthing Confucian virtue as they bleed the country dry. Faced with a hellish start, he draws his blade. “I don’t care about ancestral rules. Anyone who stands in my way dies!” From the start, he purges the court in a bloodbath and confiscates the wealth of corrupt officials and gentry to fill the treasury, then pours silver into building a modern firearms force loyal only to the throne!
He abolishes the civil service exams, eradicates Confucianism, forces the technology tree to advance, and launches the Industrial Revolution! While the Jian are still drilling in horsemanship and archery, they run headlong into Ming Gatling-gun positions. While the European powers are still congratulating themselves on the Age of Exploration, the Ming ironclad steam fleet has already blockaded the mouth of the Thames!
As capital sweeps across the globe, the dragon flag of the empire on which the sun never sets flies in every corner of the world. Facing the lofty queens of Europe and princesses of foreign lands, this iron-fisted tyrant raises his whip ever so slightly. “I will conquer not only your lands, but you yourselves!”
