The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the New Order Starting from Sichuan

The embers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rekindled in Bashu, and modern souls ignited the fire of the Industrial Revolution. The time traveler Li Dingchuan led his remnants into Sichuan and transformed the troubled times from a prophetic perspective: giving up the illusory dream of heaven and taking root in the real base. He combined veterans of the Taiping Army, heroes from Sichuan, down-and-out gentry, and extraordinary women in the business world to create a new regime that integrated military, political, business, and academia. From imitating breech-loading guns to laying railways, from land reform to the prototype of parliament, this force quietly emerged in the gap between the Qing court and the foreign powers. When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fell and the Qing Dynasty struggled to survive, the Sichuan base area had become an industrial behemoth that crushed the old era. This is not a simple change of dynasty, but a complete revolution from the mode of production to the form of the country - burying the Eight Banners with flintlocks, crushing the monarchy with steam engines, and finally fighting for the survival of a new nation surrounded by great powers.
