Returning to the Qing Dynasty with a Super Battleship Fiction
Returning to the Qing Dynasty with a Super Battleship

In the year A.D., during a routine patrol of the "Zhengwu" space cruiser in the Renma galaxy, it encountered a space-time turbulence and arrived in the Qing Dynasty. Li Zhongju was the only survivor of the warship, but with the warship in his hand and his wit in his heart, he was invincible. In the end, Li Zhongju led China on the path of hegemony. Empress Dowager Cixi glared at the ministers, saying, "As long as Li Zhongju is not dead, don't expect peace for anyone!" The Japanese emperor said to the prime minister, "Mobilize all available forces and deal with Li Zhongju. Otherwise, we will never be able to establish ourselves in East Asia." The Russian czar shuddered and said, "We should surrender to the Chinese. This war cannot be won!" The European powers sighed and said, "Contact China immediately and we are willing to pay for all losses." The President of the United States cautiously said, "The only country we cannot offend in this world is China."
