A British officer who was reborn in 1861, with deep regret for the fall of the Taiping Rebellion in his previous life, was determined to change his destiny with the military knowledge of the Victorian era. He is not a god, but he holds the "death list" of key nodes; he does not want to be king, he just wants to build the first modern rifle for Tianjing. In an era when steamships and Qinglong swords coexist, he will use trench warfare to fight against the Hunan Army, use financial means to obtain foreign guns, and even start a fatal game between classmates with his old enemy Gordon. This is a tragic attempt to use a modern scalpel to dissect the old body of theocracy. It is also a lonely epic of an idealist who lit the first industrial fire in the East on the ruins of a dynasty destined to overthrow.
