Reborn in the Ming Dynasty as Li Jinglong, Building an Empire Where the Sun Never Sets

One moment, I was dreaming of the final years of Hongwu. I am Li Jinglong, Duke of Cao, and everyone mocks me as a useless fool. The flames of the Jingnan campaign are about to ignite. Zhu Yunwen is determined to strip the vassal princes of their power, the Prince of Yan commands Beiping, and court officials tighten the noose step by step. History branded me a disgrace in my past life, but now, with an army at my command, I will decide how this struggle ends. Baigou River will no longer be my grave, and I will never surrender Jinchuan Gate without a fight. I will maneuver between the emperor, the vassal princes, and the civil and military nobility, command an army of a hundred thousand, and carve out a path to survival for myself.
