Empire Ascension: The Rise of the Fated One

This is the story of a modern man who transmigrates to 16th-century India in a parallel world after dying to save his first crush on a date. He regresses as a lowly-ranked soldier in the camp of Hemu, the last northern Hindu king, who is fated to lose and die at the hands of the Mughals. With his modern knowledge and past experiences, the protagonist alters the course of history, forcing the Mughals to surrender and retreat beyond the Ravi River, which is in modern-day Pakistan. As a reward, he is granted trading rights and becomes the emperor’s personal attendant. Using this opportunity, he sets out to reshape the empire. By promoting private enterprise, establishing trading company, and creating opportunities for the lower communities, he begins to shift India’s economy away from the feudal system toward modern capitalism. And all this began with the advent of his mercenary army, which excelled in firearms far ahead of its time. His journey is filled with trials, including internal turmoil, political strife, and the looming threat of invasion from the Mughals in the west, Tibet from the north and the Dutch and Portuguese in the south. As the emperor’s trusted aide, the protagonist not only rescues the crumbling empire but also forges his own path, eventually claiming the title of emperor himself. Join him on this incredible journey of empire's ascension, as he explores how India could have been in the 16th century if history had taken a different course. With just one battle's result, the fate of the entire world is transformed.

Battle of Kashmir Part -3

Kashmir border, captured fort in Kohala Valley, afternoon of April 22, 1557

In the cool breeze, standing atop the fort walls, a team of Bhargavian artillerymen prepared their cannons for the oncoming Ladakhi soldiers.

The air buzzed with tension as the soldiers moved with well-practiced precision, readying for the first real test of grapeshot in battle.

The gunners gathered around the imposing cannon which was mounted sturdily on wooden wheels.

Beside it lay an open ammunition crate which held the new shells to be first fired upon this battlefield. It consisted of dozens of small iron balls packed tightly together, held by a thin canvas casing shell. 

These iron balls were slightly larger than a marble gleamed in the sunlight. Their surfaces were rough and unpolished.
