A history professor transmigrates to the final years of the Southern Song.
From the start, both his parents are dead, he owes two taels of silver, and he can’t even afford a steamed bun.
But his mind is filled with knowledge from eight hundred years in the future.
He knows the Jin dynasty is about to fall, the Mongols are coming, and the Song campaign to reclaim Luoyang will end in defeat.
While others are still mourning, he has already borrowed money to open a trading house.
While others are still observing the mourning period, he has already taken firearms to enlist in the army.
While others are still arguing military strategy on paper, he has already used improved gunpowder to blast apart the Mongol cavalry’s formation.
He fights three battles at Guangzhou and lifts the siege of Luzhou twice.
From an orphan in a border town to the military commissioner of Huaixi, commanding twenty thousand elite troops and ten prefectures.
From a soldier looked down on by civil officials to the last pillar of the Great Song.
But he wants more than that.
He wants to halt the iron hooves, restore the realm, and ensure this land is never trampled by foreign invaders again.
He will make Huaxia an empire on which the sun never sets!
