Great Ming: I Ask to Be Sent Overseas from the Start, and Take Xu Miaoyun with Me

He transmigrates to the Ming Dynasty as Zhu Gang, the third son of the emperor, and from the start volunteers to be enfeoffed overseas, drawing ridicule from the princes across the realm.

Fortunately, he obtains an Empire's Geographical Atlas, which reveals global mineral deposits, land characteristics, and agricultural resources, enabling him to launch a city-building and conquest campaign.

He also elopes with Xu Miaoyun. Xu Da comes after them with a saber, but when he sees the rich lands overseas, he no longer wants to return to court.

A year later, crops yielding ten thousand jin per mu appear before the court, stunning the officials.

Two years later, ship after ship laden with gold sails from the mouth of the Yangtze into the capital, shocking the princes.

Ten years later, when ironclad warships open the gates to the world, Zhu Gang stands before the Ming Empire's Geographical Atlas and says to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Imperial Father, every land touched by the sun and moon now belongs to the Ming!"
