After transmigrating into Water Margin, I became Wang Lun, the first leader of Liangshan, a narrow-minded, jealous man destined to be killed by Lin Chong in a mutiny?
Newly awakened, Wang Lun panicked for a second, until he accidentally crushed a half-centimeter-thick ceramic bowl between two fingers.
“Born with divine strength and extraordinary bones? And with the maxed-out brain of a hardcore military enthusiast from my previous life, what the hell do I have to panic about?”
No System to hand out equipment out of thin air? No problem. Knowledge is the strongest cheat of all!
Recruit the talented figures from the original story and pour money into developing new technology. The hard-core industrial revolution of the Song dynasty begins now!
From the start, I throw the gates wide open to welcome the instructor through the snow, then apprentice myself to Lin Chong to make up for my weaknesses in martial arts.
Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Yang Zhi? Every one of them will be my right-hand man!
Timely Rain Song Jiang? I'll tear off that mask of hypocrisy. Liangshan has no place for faithless men, and the Song dynasty has no need for appeasers!
Recruit Tang Long, the “Golden Leopard,” to build blast furnaces and smelt steel. Promote Ling Zhen, the “Thunderclap,” to develop corned gunpowder. Make pulley-powered crossbows, build flintlock rifles, and forge Western-style cannons!
When the Liao cavalry and the Jurchen Iron Pagoda troops swagger south, hoping to trample the Central Plains under their hooves...
They'll be greeted by a steel tide armed with rifles and cannons, under Wang Lun's command!
Many years later.
Wang Lun sailed around the four oceans aboard the imperial steamship of the Great Hua Empire. Watching dragon banners flutter across the world, he smiled calmly.
“My Great Hua is the one true empire on which the sun never sets!”
