First off, you know the language (As has been mentioned you grew up in the time for 14 years).

Second, I answered the question of how I get technology rolling in my reply. I start off using basic knowlege to improve farming (all of this can be done during your first 14 years btw, using relatives etc to implement ideas), basic medicine (washing hands etc) and construction skills. Creating weapons and training those I trust in martial arts would just be a bonus.

By the time 14 years are up, you should have at least a strong family/friend support system that has spent years learning martial arts, eaten very healthy (stronger then most because of this) and is not sick (unlike alot of people).

From there you start getting mining going, build concrete fortifitcations (which are not hard to do if you know how and there is sand somewhere near you), upgrade ranged weapons as much as you can etc.

Just basic martial arts would make a large difference in most parts of the world at that time. Basic construction techniques as well (I worked construction for years, but seriously most people today could at least come up with a few improvements I'm sure).

Even from reading and watching TV etc you have seen things that were not invented for a very long time and could give you a huge advantage at that time. If you keep making peoples lives easier, preventing deaths from sickness etc, you'll get more and more followers even without needing to resort to war.
