Jiajing Stopped Practicing Taoism and Led a Modern Army to Conquer the World

When I woke up, I was transported back to Zhu Houcong, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty. Outside the palace, the alchemists were bowing and waiting, holding the refined "elixir" in their hands, their eyes full of flattery and expectation - they thought that this emperor who was obsessed with Taoism and neglected government affairs would, as always, get into the smoke of the alchemy furnace and cling to the elusive immortality. Ridiculous! The memory of the past life is still there, and the modern knowledge base is always with me. I also have an endless modern resource base - from metallurgy and forging to shipbuilding, from gun design to tactical deployment, from agricultural technology to industrial systems, everything! Immortality? It's just a mirror image. What I want has never been eternal life sitting in a deep palace, but the hegemony of five continents and four seas in my hands! Let the flag of China be planted in every corner of the world! I will depose the alchemists and the alchemy furnaces, build a fleet, build a military factory, defeat foreign enemies, strive for global hegemony, and use the power of modernity to usher in China's eternal prosperity!
