Great Ming: The Fake Crown Prince Saves the Empire from Collapse

Xia Ziyuan transmigrates to 1645, the final years of the Ming dynasty, and becomes a death-row prisoner accused of impersonating the Ming Crown Prince.

After a mob of rioters lets him out of prison, he immediately declares himself king, intending to fight a hopeless battle.

The Qing court, the Great Western Kingdom, and the Southern Ming are all left reeling after he beats them!

Scholars of Jiangnan: "The Kong family has confirmed that you're a fake prince! If you want to secure your throne, you should work with us gentlemen!"

Xia Ziyuan: "Why should I prolong the life of the dying Ming?"

Pointing to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Great Xia emperor tells his ministers:

The Eastern Wilderness, the Western Extremity, the Southern Sea, and the Northern Darkness are rich in land and treasures.

The Native Americans being slaughtered by white men are descendants of our merchants, too!

The ministers roar, "Send out the troops!"
