(Xiong Ju) A Glazed Dream

A great general * an arms dealer, Zhao Jiamin and Ju Jingyi, a Xiong-Ju mecha story. Imagine the era as a parallel world where the Western Age of Steam meets the prosperous Tang Dynasty of the East. Firearms are still at an early stage of development, so guns and melee weapons are both used. But it's a short story, so the setting probably doesn't matter much.
