He fought to take the country, but there were still a couple warlords as big as he was by the time he died. He burned down the temples of monks preparing to go to war, which somehow got turned into an NP that super-murders divinity and mystery. He bought a bunch of guns from foreigners, and then got his people started on manufacturing them. This somehow gives him the ability to summon three thousand rifles at will, which are all super effective against people who know how to ride horses, regardless of whether they're actually riding one (unless that's just gameplay, whoknows.jpg).
Even compared to the likes of Tesla, who was just a nerd IRL, he's overinflated. Tesla freaking revolutionised the planet.
I'm not arguing he isn't famous, he just didn't have a big impact. He's a guy who's famous for achieving... not a lot, really.
