Late Ming: I, Song Jiang, Demand Payment!

Transmigrate, System, Water Margin, late Ming, ensemble cast, team, infrastructure, no romance

Song Jiang, an electrical engineering student, transmigrates into the body of a low-ranking official at a frontier town in the late Ming. Disasters strike one after another, corrupt officials run rampant, the Mongols invade, and rebel bands rise everywhere. Just as he is about to starve to death, die in battle, or be beheaded, the [Heavenly Leader · Star-Gathering System] activates. He returns to his very first day in this world. From then on, while others fight the Qing, he recruits Li Kui; while others suppress bandits, he recruits Wu Yong; while others fight over territory, he teaches Lu Zhishen how to build a hydraulic forging hammer.

Three years later, Huang Taiji stares at the banner reading “Uphold Heaven’s Way” and falls into deep thought. Li Zicheng sighs at the sky. Hong Chengchou’s hands tremble.

Looking at the System panel, where all 108 slots are filled, Song Jiang smiles faintly.

“Brothers, it’s time for someone new to rule this land.”

First, send the money.
