Great Ming's Soldier King: Xu Miaoyun Personally Armors Me

A special operations instructor in the People’s Armed Police dies in the line of duty during a counterterrorism mission.

He wakes up in the Hongwu era as a low-ranking soldier from a military household, tied to a punishment post and awaiting a flogging after being convicted of desertion.

A deserter? His predecessor fled because the company commander had been skimming his pay, leaving him unable to survive. But military law is merciless: thirty strokes would leave him half dead.

As he lies face down on the ground, the System activates:

Train soldiers to level up. Every qualified soldier he trains earns him more experience. From hand-to-hand combat to squad coordination to large-scale formations, his fifteen years of special operations experience in his previous life are all ready-made lesson plans.

Step one: Train four capable brothers in his squad, beat the neighboring squad in a combat exercise, and become a squad leader.

Step two: Lead ten men to defeat the company commander’s personal guard and become a platoon leader.

Step three: Defeat three thousand cavalry with three hundred men and make a name for himself in one battle.

Zhu Yuanzhang slams the table: Give this kid command of an army.

Xu Da nods with a smile: At last, the Ming army has a promising talent who knows how to train troops.

Then Xu Miaoyun, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Wei’s household, places before him a suit of chainmail she spent three months working around the clock to finish:

“Zhao Heng. Put it on and fight this battle for my father. Then come back alive.”
