South Guangdong Hongtu: Rebuilding the Rivers and Mountains Starting from Lingnan

The fathers took root in Guangzhou in the 20s with modern knowledge, secretly hoarding wealth and connections, and devoted all their life's learning to cultivating successors who have the world in mind. As a second-generation time traveler, Hong Chengwen set out from the examination center in Guangdong to join the Lin Zexu shogunate and saw through the scourge of the Qing Dynasty under the gunfire of the Opium War. He went to Beijing to serve in the Hanlin Academy, negotiated treaties with various countries, and went to Europe to explore ways to help the world. By encircling and suppressing the Taiping Army to gather his direct troops, he took charge of the country in one fell swoop during the changes in the Xinyou Court, and presided over national reforms in the name of regent. Internally, it eliminated centuries-old abuses, and externally, it regained lost territory and tore up humiliating treaties. The army under its command covered the entire Southeast Asia, the cavalry marched westward and approached the Urals, and the ocean-going fleet set foot on the fertile soil of Australia. As China's territory continued to expand outwards, Hong Chengwen suddenly realized that the ultimate mission left to him by his fathers was never just to regain the old territory.
