"Book three of Conrad Stargard. He has been inventing all the modern advances that will let him create the tools needed to make weapons to fight the Mongols, but he does not have an army to give them to. Now he must train an army of soldiers to use these new weapons from the peasants and nobles that have no idea what a modern army really is."
