War Industry in Troubled Times: Forging a Dynasty with Firearms

Special forces staff officer Lu Yuan opens his eyes to a desperate situation: an armored jeep overturned and on fire, everyone's physiology regressed to eighteen years old, and outside the window, barbarian scimitars have torn through the iron sheet and are thrusting toward his brow! This is the Taixi era of the Great Yong, when scholars and commoners are separated by heaven, and border defense is rotten. Hu cavalry breach the passes and slaughter villages, refugees exchange children to eat, border generals kill the good to claim merit, and the court aristocrats recognize only genealogies, not people. Modern bullets are non-renewable; each shot fired is one less. Facing brutal barbarian cavalry and suspicious officers, an unregistered black household has only a dead end! In this deadlock, Lu Yuan raises his assault rifle to call out enemy chieftains, and with pure Middle Ancient Luoyang elegant pronunciation and profound knowledge of the nine-rank official system, he forcefully impersonates the legitimate eldest son of the world's foremost clan, the "Pingyuan Lu"! Tactical bursts reduce the enemy to slaughter, modern debridement is revered by border people as divine; using patriarchal rites and law as a scalpel, he plays corrupt officers in the palm of his hand. Starting from the blood-soaked manor outside Duanma Pass, he tears open a rift in the troubled times with limited firearms, forges a new type of private army with engineer metallurgy, and step by step, from impersonating a noble family, ascends to the supreme ruler of the world! — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: War Industry in Troubled Times: Forging a Dynasty with Firearms — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
