He transmigrates to Qianlong in 1931, where warlords fight for control and foreign powers wait for a chance to carve up the country.
Jiang Ming, the governor’s son, flees to Yunyang County, only to be poisoned and ambushed by the four great local families.
At this critical moment, the Warlord System activates!
It drops ten billion dollars on him from the start. Jiang Ming plans to recruit troops and buy guns and cannons on a massive scale, then dominate the region.
But the System gives him a deathly strict order: he is forbidden to spend the money on recruiting soldiers. He can only develop the county!
The System comes with a BUG, and the military shop is locked outright.
He has a huge fortune, but can’t raise an army?
Fine. If I can’t build up my forces, I’ll build roads and factories, boost commerce, and make the people prosperous and the county strong!
If the Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li families try to strike from the shadows, I’ll grow the economy and wear them down step by step, crushing the local power brokers!
Once Yunyang County is impregnable and has built up enough strength, I’ll lead my troops into battle, sweep aside the warlords, and unite all of Qianlong!
No logic,
I don't know if it's an AI novel or an original work. The warlord melee background only develops people's livelihood, but becomes the prey of others, and also disgusts the readers. Survive in troubled times. Military and economics are indispensable.
