Farming and Raising an Army: From Border Soldier to Founding Emperor

Zhao Hui, a researcher from the Institute of History, transmigrated into the body of a border soldier of Great Qi. The moment he opened his eyes, he was thrust into a deadly crisis: bandits were causing havoc, the Turks were raiding the border, and the empire was beset by troubles both within and without! The garrison was corrupt, supplies had run out, and everyone around him was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Fortunately, he used his knowledge and expertise from a later age to predict the enemy's movements. In his first battle, he turned the tables and killed Turkish scouts, making a name for himself. He planted potatoes to end the food shortage, reformed the military to train elite troops and build the Ningyuan Iron Army, enforced strict discipline, and established workshops, transforming the frontier into a haven amid the chaos.

His achievements made the emperor fear his power, and he was framed. Refusing to surrender his command, he secured control of the northern frontier by uniting military and civilian governance. When the Turks invaded again and bandits stirred up trouble, he led the elite Ningyuan cavalry in a thundering charge and launched a surprise attack on the enemy's command center, fighting his way through the chaos.

Watch a border soldier feed his army through farming, drive out the northern tribes, pacify the north, and ultimately found a dynasty and become emperor!
