The Great Qian dynasty is weak, favoring scholars over warriors and paying tribute after every battle. When Emperor Wu ascends the throne, he changes national policy, taking a hard line abroad and vowing to wipe away the nation's shame.
Li Cong, grandson of the Grand Tutor and the illegitimate son of the Minister of Rites, enlists and heads to the frontier of Liangzhou in place of his elder brother, hoping to secure a place for his mother in the ancestral lands.
In his previous life, he was a leading authority at both the Academy of Engineering and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, as well as a special forces champion and a miraculous healer.
In this life, he is Princess Xiuning's consort, the Great Qian's most fearsome bandit king, and a conqueror who plants his banner on Mount Langju.
Horseshoes keep warhorses from injury. Compost boosts crop yields. Castor oil replaces tung oil. Purified salt brings in wealth. Ice made from saltpeter sweeps through the kingdoms, and with gunpowder, the world is his for the taking...
The Liangzhou frontier becomes impregnable, and Great Qian grows stronger by the day.
“Brother-in-law... I mean, Your Majesty, shall we wipe out the Tiehe tribe in the northwest?”
“That doesn't seem right. Can we wipe them all out?”
“We can!”
“Grandpa, the Xiye Kingdom has actually seized our Great Qian treasury! It's full of spices, night pearls, and Ferghana horses!”
“Good boy, submit a plan at once and help Great Qian take back its treasury!”
“Prime Minister, I noticed that the Haidao kingdom of Wo has thousands of silver mines that belong to Great Qian...”
“How dare they! We march, and we must march. That's Great Qian's property!”
The hardliners think the moderates are too hardline, while the moderates think the hardliners are too moderate.
King Li Cong of Xiliang leads his beloved wife, Liangzhou's foremost female war goddess, and their forces into battle. The Tiehe in the northwest, Xiye in the west, Nanzhao in the south, Beiyan in the north, and Haidao Wo in the east... all surrender!
Only after the fighting is over does he discover that this is the Continent of Dongsheng. Beyond it lie the Continent of Xiji, the Continent of Nanli, the Continent of Beihan, and the mysterious Continent of Ximing, said to be home to immortals...
@Hamimelon This book is really good, the characters are three-dimensional, the plot logic is online, and there are no brainless routines. It's easy to get immersed in when reading, the pace is comfortable, and I still have more to say after reading it. I sincerely recommend it.
