I Am the Mandate of Heaven: Conquering the World from the Western Regions

In the name of the Yan and Huang emperors, a young man named Li Xiao unleashes relentless slaughter upon the world, channeling the very power of heaven to crush Europe. Starting from his own family stronghold in the Western Regions, he forges steel, casts cannons, raises cavalry, and launches campaigns in every direction. With the Han Chinese of the Western Regions as his foundation, Li Xiao builds the most formidable army of the 13th century—the Six-Town Iron Cavalry. He marches east to challenge the Mongols, clashing with Genghis Khan's riders on the banks of the Onon River. He then breaks through the Central Plains, reenacting the Jingkang Incident against the Jurchens. Turning north, he subjugates the Rus' principalities and annexes Siberia into the Chinese realm. Pushing south into the Indian subcontinent, he forces the low-caste peoples of Bharata into servitude. Finally, he drives west into Europe, sweeping away the Crusaders, watering his warhorses at the Rhine, and aiming his sword at Britannia. With warhorses, steel blades, and heavy artillery, he builds the greatest empire in human history—a dominion stretching farther than any before it.
