    Reader note

    This is a great book. It has no system; the protagonist transmigrates to the Ming Dynasty's frontier as a lowly soldier, grows strong, wipes out the Manchus, conquers the navy to Spain, occupies Australia, kills Toyotomi Hideyoshi, develops weapons that lead the world, and finally becomes the president, while the royal family becomes a mere figurehead.

    I highly recommend this book. It requires a calm and focused reading experience. The protagonist transmigrates to the sixth prince of the Great Qian Dynasty, is enfeoffed in the northeast, develops infrastructure and heavy industry, and uses modern weaponry to crush the invaders' cold weapons. Both the court and the battlefield are well-described.

    "Qin Feng, if you don't confess, you'll die here today!" The Ministry of Justice dungeon, the torture chamber. Dark and damp, the stench of blood was overwhelming. A minor official brandished a long whip, his face contorted with rage as he shouted curses. On the rack, Qin Feng lay ragged and on the verge of death. Each lash of the whip, studded with tiny barbs, sent a spray of blood flying. His once fair body was now a bloody mess, a tangled web of old and new wounds. The excruciating pain kept him in a constant state of delirium. Days of torture had extinguished any will to live. He only wanted to end this endless suffering as soon as possible. It was the deep-seated obsession in his heart that kept him gritting his teeth and refusing to confess. Intercepting the longevity pills offered by Yunqing Temple was a crime punishable by the extermination of his entire family. Even though the Qin family was a founding noble family, they could not escape the consequences. A kind father, a loving mother, a clever and lively younger sister… Even if he were to be torn to pieces, he would never confess. Huff, huff, huff… The executioner finally tired and stopped. "Damn it, I've seen plenty of stubborn ones. But this is the first time I've encountered such a stubborn brat. What a terrible thing! I'll have to continue later!" The executioner cursed as he left. Qin Feng's consciousness grew increasingly blurred. Fragmented memories flashed through his mind like a fleeting glimpse. Was this a final burst of lucidity, a death sentence? A strange sense of resentment welled up deep within Qin Feng's heart. Reborn into this world, yet ending up with such a tragic fate, he was probably the most miserable of all transmigrators. … "My son… is innocent! I… I'm willing to stake my life on it, begging Your Majesty to investigate the truth…" The Great Liang Imperial Palace. Outside the Zhengxing Hall, before the Heavenly Drum. Marquis Fengxin, Qin Zhenhong, with disheveled hair, stiffly wielded the drumsticks, weakly striking the massive Mingtian Drum. His legs trembled slightly. His hoarse voice was barely audible. His bloated body exuded endless desolation. After three days and three nights, only a breath of life kept him from collapsing. In the Zhengxing Hall, the eunuchs of the Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs, holding imperial edicts, led two...
