In 1690, the twenty-ninth year of the Kangxi reign, the Ming dynasty was history. A soul from the future possessed Zhu Heyu, a descendant of the fallen Ming imperial house exiled in Luzon.
At first, faced with this unfamiliar world, Zhu Heyu was lost and disheartened.
Then...
“The Empire-Rising System is now online...”
“Congratulations, Host! Your System has received a full upgrade!”
“Congratulations, Host! You have received 500 soldiers from the Ming Divine Engine Battalion, all equipped with Minié rifles.”
“Congratulations, Host! You have received complete blueprints for manufacturing Minié rifles.”
While obtaining cutting-edge weapons from the System, Zhu Heyu launched an Industrial Revolution and vigorously developed military technology, gradually arming the Ming army to the teeth.
The Dutch masters of the sea? That's history! The British Empire, where the sun never sets? The sun won't rise for them! The United States? It won't even get the chance to found a country!
Japan? “Daddy Ming, who are we attacking next?”
Kangxi: “Can someone tell me why these Ming remnants are so fearsome? My Qing troops are utterly powerless against them, like children!”
