A graduate student in industrial history transformed into Zhu Yijun, the Wanli Emperor who had just taken over the throne. He had no systems, no warehouses, no plug-ins, and only had a head on the complete principles and development path of the first industrial revolution.
He stopped the liquidation of Zhang Juzheng and saved the last of Ming Dynasty's wealth. Starting from improved iron smelting and coal mining, he led the country's top craftsmen through repeated trials and errors to build the first steam engine, which ignited the industrial fire in the Ming Dynasty.
Build railways, build armored ships, train new armies, quickly quell civil strife, sweep away border troubles, abolish the Eight-Part Unit and start up engineering schools, and it took Ming 30 years to complete the industrial revolution, become the world's first steam empire, and completely rewrite the history of the Ming Dynasty.
