Three Thousand Armored Warriors to Rekindle the Ming — Season 2

About the story

Transported through time as the crown prince of the late Ming dynasty, I use the three thousand heavily armored soldiers under my command to take in displaced people and raise supplies and military funds, then rout the rebel army at Tong Pass. I punish the powerful gentry and hereditary nobles, stabilize the court, win back the people’s hearts, and reassure my officers and men before leading an army of 250,000 into a decisive battle against the Eight Banners at Tongzhou. Others worry about finding enough money for war; I worry about not being able to spend all my silver. With the promise of “meat at every meal and five taels of silver for each day defending the city,” even the old, weak, sick and disabled can rival an army of a million.
