Synopsis

[Sentenced to exile in the late Qing + seizes the arsenal from the start + technological superiority + from building guns and cannons to creating Asia’s first ironclad fleet + building an independent power base + rise of a ruthless warlord + satisfying, with no suffering for the protagonist]

Shen Tunan wakes up to find himself a convict in an exile camp in the late Qing dynasty.

His adoptive mother frames him, the camp commander makes his life difficult, and he cannot even get a hot meal.

You’re using muzzle-loading cannons? I’ll build breech-loading rifled guns.

You rely on sailing ships? I’ll build Asia’s first all-steel battleship.

You’re still using Hanyang rifles? I’ll turn Anqing into China’s Sheffield.

Zeng Guofan saw him as a weapon, yet refused to see him again before he died. Zuo Zongtang joined forces with him, and the two drank together all night atop Lanzhou’s city walls. Li Hongzhang came to borrow his cannons, and by the end even wanted to borrow his daughter.

When the imperial court tries to kill him, he leads an army of a hundred thousand across the sea to the east.

The Lushun forts change hands twelve times before he levels the Japanese army’s command center with a single shot. At the Battle of Tsushima, the Shouzhuo charges into the enemy ranks, and three hundred rapid-fire cannons from the ironclad fleet send the Combined Fleet to the bottom of the sea.

After the war, he raises a new Xia flag on Japan’s northern island.
