There Were Twenty-Three People at the Beginning, and I Was Praised as a World Hero.

[Alternate history | Group image competition | Business war | Black humor] On the third day of time travel, Zhu Hean took over a terrible grass-roots team. Dad's rebellion failed and he broke his neck and died, leaving only twenty-three hungry and unlucky people. The national treasury only has eleven taels and seven cents, and the jade seal is the broken wooden seal used to cover the bills for sea goods. In addition to the martial arts disciples who wanted to make a living, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were the salty fish admirals who drove broken ships. Not to mention restoring the country, it is difficult to even defend a leaky and dilapidated temple. Just when Zhu He'an was about to break up and run away, Magistrate Zhou's 800-mile expedited memorial shocked the government and the public: "Zhu He'an, the leader of the puppet Ming thieves, has five thousand troops and 800 dead men under his command! He has occupied more than ten villages in Wushan, hoarded countless grains, and will sweep through several counties soon!" Looking at the wanted poster, Zhu and An were completely dumbfounded. Surrendering means Ling Chi, hiding means waiting for death, and breaking up the gang means running away and is wanted all over the country. Since there was no way to retreat, Zhu Hean could only take a deep breath: "Okay, Mr. Zhou, I will make all the things you boast about come true one by one!" The county magistrate said he had 5,000 men, so he recruited the refugees and built a stronghold to make up the number of 5,000; the county magistrate said he had 800 elite men, so he recruited martial arts masters, set up forges, and created a strong army that could fight for hundreds of years. The county magistrate said that he controlled the trade routes, so he opened salt farms, opened sea trade, and reconnected the broken financial routes! The local officials' memorials became more and more exaggerated, and Zhu He'an's territory became larger and larger. From a ragtag group of twenty-three people to the most terrifying overlord in the mountains and seas; from a grassroots team with no way to survive, to a giant force fighting for hegemony in the world!
