1800: Become the World Hegemon from Taiwan

[Farming + Industrial Development + Great Powers Struggle for Hegemony] I am a novice author. The first 50 chapters were a bit slow. After 50 chapters, I found the rhythm and the plot accelerated. Please be patient and read it, thank you! In 1800 (the fifth year of the Jiaqing reign of the Qing Dynasty), the afterglow of the Age of Discovery had not yet faded, and the Industrial Revolution quietly emerged in Britain. At this time, Taiwan Island was on the border of Manchu rule, with corrupt officials, frequent fighting between Zhang and Quan, and a clear distinction between Han and Han. This is a barbaric era where order is broken but full of opportunities. A soul from 2026 brings the [Civilization Library] to Taiwan in the parallel world of 1800. Taking Changhua as the starting point, one hand focused on profiteering trade and used silver to corrode the decadent Qing officialdom; the other hand focused on military manufacturing to build a modern firearms force. From quelling the fighting in Zhangquan to suppressing the pirate Cai Qian, from evading the Manchu and Qing Dynasty officials to establishing the Far Eastern Empire. When the powerful ships and cannons of the West tried to knock on the door of the country, they were horrified to find that a giant dragon had risen in the Far East. Lin Xuan stood in front of the giant shipyard in Keelung Port, with the steel fleet about to set sail behind him: "Fist is power! Steel is power! I will use the truth (cannon) in my hand to build a new empire where the sun never sets!"
