[Hardcore Military] [Historical Strategy] [Ultimate Combat] [No Golden Finger] [Ensemble Power Struggles] [Masterful Political Maneuvering]
In the summer of 2036, Lu Dingyuan, the special forces captain codenamed "Fang," led his team on a top-secret mission deep in the Taihang Mountains. The instant he pulled the trigger on the ancient Jundu Pass trail, the smoke of gunfire turned into a blinding white light.
When he opened his eyes again, he had transmigrated.
He had arrived in the chaotic final years of the Ming dynasty, in the seventeenth year of the Chongzhen reign. Li Zicheng's army had already taken the capital, and the Great Ming was no more.
Lu Dingyuan would neither join Li Zicheng's rebels, surrender to the Qing, nor serve as cannon fodder for the Southern Ming. With modern tactics and organizational thinking, he began building a new world order from a single county town...
A year later, when the Eight Banner cavalry attacked the passes with all their might, the world finally realized that a colossal power had been rising right under their noses!
(This novel has no System, no golden finger, and no supporting characters made stupid for the plot. The pacing is deliberate, with detailed storytelling and an emphasis on logical strategy and institution-building. Every tactic is grounded in reason, and every reform has its causes and consequences. Dear readers, please be patient as you read. Thank you!)
