Great Ming: I Earned the Merit of Destroying the Yuan, and Was Named Crown Prince's Heir

Red walls and golden tiles. Reborn through transmigration as the legitimate grandson of the Hongwu Emperor, Zhu Xiongying was the ironclad heir to the Ming dynasty's throne.

With his grandfather bent on wiping out the Mongol Yuan, Zhu Xiongying offered up the hiding places of his Mongol compatriots.

With his younger brother intent on doing nothing but eating, drinking, and having fun, Zhu Xiongying used both the stick and the carrot: his brother had to learn martial arts, no excuses!

Faced with a court full of ministers as fierce as wolves and tigers, Zhu Xiongying hid in his grandfather's arms and waited for him to draw his blade!

He rebuilt the Maritime Trade Office, established a currency system, and dismantled the Six Ministries of the court.

He built a navy, developed firearms, leased out Korea, Japan, Siam, and Malacca, reestablished the Jiaozhi Provincial Administration Commission, developed Liaodong, and rebuilt the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

The Ming dynasty's territory wasn't that big, just a little over 17 million square kilometers.

The Ming dynasty's territorial waters weren't that extensive, since the Pacific was an inland sea.

The Ming dynasty's Crown Prince wasn't very old. He was only ten!
