Great Ming: A Warlord Who Rules Like an Emperor, Driving Old Zhu Mad

Zhang Fan transmigrates to the Ming Dynasty and obtains a sign-in System that lets him rule a mountain stronghold like a local emperor. He starts managing it by farming and takes in a few maids, living like an emperor of his own little domain.

As it happens, Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang are traveling incognito to inspect the people's lives when they accidentally enter the stronghold.

They see that the stronghold is every bit as prosperous as the capital, Yingtian Prefecture. Furious, they assume its master has been exploiting the people.

But as they learn more, they realize they had greatly underestimated the situation.

This stronghold master is outrageously bold: he has established his own laws, wears an imperial robe in secret, keeps a private army, and calls himself a local emperor...

Everything he does every day is a flagrant violation of Ming law, dancing right under the Ming court's nose.

Old Zhu is furious. "That bastard stronghold master! I'm going to cut off his head today. Nobody try to stop me."

Zhu Biao looks at the rows of flintlock rifles before them and says miserably,

"Father, just behave yourself. Don't force the stronghold master to rebel!"
