Great Ming: Buy Weapons with Cash, and Raid the Imperial Father-in-Law's Home from the Start

[Iron-Blooded Tyrant + Infinite Silver + Military Tech That Outclasses the Era + Exterminating Entire Clans + Utterly Over-the-Top Power Fantasy] Year 13 of the Chongzhen reign. Rebels ravaged the land, the Jianzhou raiders battered the passes, and there wasn’t enough in the Ming treasury to keep even the rats alive. With the dynasty on the brink of collapse, the court officials refused to part with a single coin. The three imperial in-laws put on quite a show, scraping together sixty thousand taels of mud-caked silver to fob off the emperor like a beggar. They even colluded with the Donglin faction, planning to gather outside the Meridian Gate the next day and wail about their poverty, forcing the emperor to issue a self-condemnation edict! “No money to spare? Then I’ll borrow your nine generations of kin!” Shen Changyuan, a modern financial tycoon, transmigrated into the Chongzhen era and awakened the [Divine Authority Armaments System]! As long as he recharged the System with silver, he could redeem an unlimited supply of weapons that outclassed the era! The three imperial in-laws feigned poverty and defied the imperial order? The Embroidered Uniform Guard raided their homes overnight, and all two million taels of silver went into the System! [Ding! Recharge successful. Unlocked: Gatling Bodhisattvas, formations of Red-Clad heavy cannons, and one hundred thousand AK-47s!] The next morning, the upright officials at court were ready to protest and force the emperor’s hand. Instead, they saw the emperor seated before the Hall of Supreme Harmony. He kicked aside the silver, revealing heavy machine guns lined up behind him and a torrent of steel! “The Ming rules the realm through filial piety? No. The Ming now rules the realm through caliber!” In this life, to hell with imperial scheming! Those who embezzle or defy the imperial order: a little nine-generation family fun! Those who preach benevolence and righteousness: executed by cannon outside the Meridian Gate! When the Ming’s ironclad fleet sweeps across the globe, the whole world will tremble beneath the tyrant’s feet!
