The Glorious Restoration (ASOIAF/Ming Dynasty Quest) is a A Song of Ice and Fire Forum Quest run by The Crimson Lord and hosted by SpaceBattles.com.The quest started with our Protagonist, Wei Gang, a Ming Garrison Commander and his troops of several thousand soldiers from the late Ming era finding themselves miraculously transported into an unknown land. With the prospect of being cut off from their homeland and beset by hostile barbarians from every which, it's your duty to keep your men alive and, if possible, thrive in this new land.It's a good thing you brought plenty of gunpowder.

Gone Horribly Right: Wei Gang's attempt to make his men accept Wanyan Aguda torturing Volcquo to death with a Rousing Speech results in his men gaining a burning hatred for barbarians and brutally massacring their Dothraki prisoners.

Heavily Armored Mook: Wanyan Aguda's personal retinue the Jurchen Royal Guard are explicitly based on the Iron Pagoda Cavalry of the Jurchen Jin dynasty, and like them they fight as superheavy cavalry.

Church Militant: The Red Pilgrims, liberated Dothraki slaves who have mistaken Wei Gang for the earthly incarnation of the Lord of Light. While without any proper weapons or training they receive a buff anytime a gunpowder weapon is used near them or when Wei Gang does something heroic. They've proven their effectiveness in the second battle against the Dothraki where they absolutely mauled the enemy khalasar.

Master of None: Basic Ming Infantry are noted to be this. They're expected to fire bows, fight in melee and operate light artillery and by being made to do so many different tasks they're good at none of them.

World's Best Warrior
 The Glorious Restoration (Roleplay) / int_35a13198
comment
World's Best Warrior: Wanyan Aguda was a serious contender for this title on Earth and remains one on Planetos, having a personal combat ability so high he can meaningfully influence the outcome of a battle through sheer personal combat ability. For Tropers unfamiliar with A Song of Ice and Fire there's only one other person in the world who can make such a claim, and that's the Mountain that Rides, Gregor Clegane.

Curb-Stomp Battle
 The Glorious Restoration (Roleplay) / int_3d699462
comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: The Ming's army is a proper combined arms army with infantry, artillery and cavalry while being decently trained and armored. The Dothraki are a bunch of people who prefer going into battle without any armor and consider tactics to be cowardly. Do the math. Wanyan Aguda's "duel" with Volcquo is perhaps the most extreme example of this in the quest, with the Storm that Walks defeating the Bloodrider with a single punch.

God Guise: A group of freed slaves mistake Wei Gang for the earthly incarnation of R'hllor, Lord of Lights, God of Flame and Shadow due to the Ming's use of gunpowder weaponry. This group joins the Ming in the second battle as a unit of Red Pilgrims.

Boomerang Bigot: The reason why Wanyan Aguda has "The Barbarian Who Hates Other Barbarians" trait. He's a Jurchen, a group of whom the Chinese usually consider barbaric. Yet it doesn't stop him from hating all the other "barbarians" such as the Mongols, Manchus, and now the Dothraki.

Horse Archer
 The Glorious Restoration (Roleplay) / int_925b2abb
comment
Horse Archer: Li Ruzhong's double strength retinue of Elite Liaodong Cavalry are these, picked Mongolian auxiliaries mounted on the finest horses the Ming can provide. Unlike their Dothraki opponents they are well armored, well trained and well disciplined. They've already proven their worth in the very first battle, causing the Dothraki's herds of horses to stampede through their camp. The Dothraki possess these as well, though they do not use them effectively as their best archers just join in the pell-mell head on charge characteristic of Dothraki tactics. Part of the reformed Dothraki troop tree is correcting this issue.

Elite Mooks: Wei Gang's army has three varieties of them: The Jurchen Royal Guard that form Wanyan Aguda's retinue are modeled after the tiefutu note Iron Pagoda Cavalry of the Jurchin Jin Dynasty and are the heaviest cavalry at Wei Gang's disposal. The Elite Liaodong Cavalry of Li Ruzhong, the finest Mongolian auxiliaries in the Ming's armies. Qi Ji Min's Qi Household Troops, the most elite infantry in Wei Gang's army.

comment
Hollywood Tactics: Turns out charging headlong while shouting like maniacs is not a good tactic against any opponent who use half their brains. One such example is when the Dothraki chose to charge uphill against Wei Gang's army who's in entrenched position. The Dothraki got shredded for their effort.

comment
Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: In the real world the Ming army is nothing special, especially since the Ming is already in a terminal decline at this point, meaning their military is in a much worse state compared to their golden era thanks to corruption and instability. However, in the ASOIAF verse they might as well be invincible, since they're the only one who have access to gunpowder weapons. Not to mention that so far their only enemy is The Dothraki who are much weaker and dumber compared to barbarians The Ming (and various other dynasties) regularly faced against.

Bestiality Is Depraved:Ogedai claims he "saw [the Dothraki] fuck their horses." Li Ruzhong attempts to sanitize this by translating it as that he saw them treat their horses as though they were their wives. In response Tumennote  who was translating for Ogedai asks "Do you southerners not fuck your wives?"
