I Trade Military Merit for a Wife and Fight My Way to Becoming the Ming Dynasty’s God of War

[Blood-and-Iron Conquest + Ming Dynasty + Multiple Heroines + Ensemble of Brothers + Political Intrigue + Rise from the Bottom + No System + Pure Power Fantasy] Wang Aotian, the Republic’s top special forces soldier, unexpectedly transmigrates into the body of Zhang Tiege, a starving refugee on the brink of death during the Chongzhen era at the end of the Ming dynasty. A hellish start? Not a chance! At the recruitment office, Wang Xiao’er asks, “Will we get enough to eat? Can we have kids? Do we get wives?” His questions leave the Ming recruiting officer dumbfounded. Hoping to get a full meal and, while he’s at it, a wife, he uses his silver tongue to persuade refugees to enlist and successfully joins the Ming army. Even more outrageous, when faced with a weak frontier force with low morale and no will to fight, he presents the commander with a strategy for the ages: the “Military Merit Marriage System”! You dare charge into battle, and I’ll dare to give you a wife! You earn merit, and you can take your pick of a fallen magistrate’s daughter or a fierce beauty from the grasslands! With that decree, the common soldiers of the entire Ming dynasty go completely wild! Bandits coming to raid us? Brothers, they’re here to deliver us wives! The Jurchens are invading? Don’t run, that’s the bride-price I need to get married! Using the overwhelming advantage of a special forces soldier, modern brutal training methods, thirty-fold refined steel triangular bayonets, and modified high-purity gunpowder, Zhang Tiege forges an invincible army of wolves and tigers. From a humble squad leader in Yanghe City to the peerless commander who pacifies Li Zicheng and kicks Huang Taiji into the dirt! While Chongzhen is still fretting over grain and military pay, and the entire court does nothing but impeach one another, Zhang Tiege has already marched through Shanhai Pass, swept across the land, donned the imperial yellow, and completely remade the realm of the Han people!
