Great Song: From a Broken Tavern to Founding a Nation Overseas

Transmigrating to the late Northern Song, with the Jingkang Disaster counting down! Lu Ci opens a tavern in Bianjing from the start, secretly refining saltpeter and forging steel barrels. In an age of cold weapons, he manages to create a fire lance capable of piercing heavy armor and sweeping away entire armies! The powerful minister Cai Jing sees him as a thorn in his side. He raids the tavern, shuts down his shops, and sends patrol ships to blockade Quanzhou Port. An arrest warrant spreads across the seas, ordering him reduced to ashes! With his fire-lance troops, Lu Ci breaks out of a desperate siege, sets sail, and raises the banner of “Great Xia” on the barren shores of Busan Bay with his own hands! While others are still locked in close combat with blades and spears, two volleys from his fire-lance battalion are enough to send heavily armored cavalry tumbling! While others are still scheming for power at court, his ocean-going fleet already rules the seas, planting the flag of Great Xia across foreign shores! The shame of Jingkang remains unavenged! As the Jurchen cavalry tramples Bianjing, the two emperors are taken north, and the Song realm is shattered, Lu Ci’s new fire-lance army is already at the Yellow River, with its fleet controlling the Yangtze. He takes aim at the northern barbarians and pulls the trigger! In this life, he will wield fire lances as his blade and the sea as his board, carving out a path to change the world in the waning years of the Northern Song!
