Late Tang: Fleeing Famine, Starting with Building a Mountain Stronghold and Making Firearms

Li Xian, a special forces king, transmigrates to the end of the Tang dynasty. From the start, his sister is snatched away by a landlord’s family. Li Xian kills four men and gets her back, then takes out the landlord’s household under cover of night before fleeing with his sister. He uses his skills to rally refugees, establish a stronghold in the mountains, mine coal and iron, refine poisonous salt, and manufacture firearms. With black powder in hand, he has the hard currency he needs. What do warlord factions matter? Once the guns fire, it’ll be time for a new ruler of the land. Starting from a mountain stronghold, he’ll fight his way to Chang’an.
