The so-called Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, with Heaven

as the Father and Earth as the Mother! Some say: The Son of Heaven is the parent of the people and the King of the world

! And I was once the Son of Heaven!

Inheriting the legacy of the six generations, I carried out the ambitions of the previous emperors.

I whipped the Western bandits and punished the old party, and I did what I could and conquered what I conquered. I swept away the accumulated evils of the Song Dynasty for a hundred years, making the power of Heaven spread far and wide, and the ugly people shocked!

But the heaven did not give me a long life, and I died young! Fortunately

, God had mercy on me and let me live again after nine hundred years, studying in the modern world and experiencing the prosperity of science!

Now!

I have returned from studying abroad and have become a teenager again.

With a three-foot-long sword in hand, I ask you ministers:

When will you be able to tie up the blue dragon?

In the cold winter of 1854, the small workshop in Genoa was on the verge of bankruptcy.

A mechanical engineer disguised himself as a fatherless military cadet, faced with a mountain of burlap, predatory loan sharks, and a mother with swollen eyes.

He grabbed a piece of war news from The Times and gambled his family's lives:

"I'll make the Brits' winter clothes!"

► 【The sewing machine is my Gatling gun! 】

★ Improved cotton fluffing machine? The Widow's Assembly Line boosts productivity!

Bribing Russian POWs? Confessions from Black Sea corpses become a deadly bargaining chip!

★ Gambling against the British Consul? The Ladder Agreement contains a sinister clause!

When the first pot of gold came into his pocket, he blatantly tore off his merchant coat——

❗ Newspaper predicts war: signed article ignites Turin, Cavour personally recruits!

❗ Private army surprise attack on the fortress: Nitroglycerin shatters the Bourbon dynasty, and thousands of black shirts are crowned knights on a bloody journey!

❗ Monopoly of sulfur hegemony: "One ton of sulfur for ten tons of grain", harvesting Sicily during famine!

In the turbulent times of roaring steam engines, he grasped the magic of bonds with his left hand and manipulated the struggle for supremacy among the great powers with his right hand:

Prussian-Austrian battlefield pits Austrian ships: sulfur-mixed coal explodes boiler, and Veneto is taken!

The Pope's Treasury moves gold: 50-year bonds to redeem the Holy City, and the Vatican is furious!

Suez secretly seizes shares: bottom-fishing at the window of France's defeat and strangling the throat of Europe and Asia!

When the Italian crown was crowned, he looked out over the Mediterranean:

"The so-called Caesar is nothing more than making the world believe—

The shadow that sits upon the Iron Throne is a god!"

Zhang Yunxiu was in a hurry to travel back in time to become Zhang Juzheng's youngest son.

A year later, his adoptive father passed away, leaving his family devastated; two years later, the Thirteenth Prince, wielding only a boarhide armor, rose in rebellion, embarking on his path to usurp the throne; seven years later, England defeated the invincible Armored Fleet, beginning a bloody primitive accumulation of wealth.

Fierce factional strife, land annexation, border corruption, and the silver crisis are like a sword hanging over our heads.

...

However, four hundred years later, when people opened the historical records, they were surprised to find that history had inexplicably taken a different turn in the ninth year of the Wanli reign.

In that year, the first comprehensive newspaper in the Ming Dynasty, the Wanli Xinbao, was launched, deconstructing Yangming's philosophy of mind and setting off a groundbreaking intellectual revolution.

In that year, modern medical theory was proposed for the first time, and the plague problem that had plagued people for thousands of years was contained for the first time.

That year, the gentry experienced for the first time what the iron fist of macroeconomics truly meant.

From this year onward, the already precarious Wanli New Deal unexpectedly triggered a major upheaval unprecedented in a century! Inventions and discoveries of all kinds, such as the steam engine, sweet potato, and flintlock musket, emerged one after another!

From that year onward, the headstrong Wanli Emperor became obsessed with artistic creation, and Zhang Juzheng, who had been struggling to support the crumbling Ming Dynasty, suddenly realized that his support had become somewhat weak.

Once regarded as a rebellious and absurd son, he actually managed to hold up half of the Ming Dynasty!
