A Lowly Ming Dynasty Bastard: Simulated by Old Zhu from the Start

After transmigrating to the seventeenth year of Hongwu, he becomes Zhu Yuanzhang's thirteenth son, a prince who never existed in history. Born to a courtesan, he is disliked by the emperor and given the title of Prince of Qiong, ruling over a remote, barbarous region!

Zhu Qi has no high hopes for himself either. He just wants to keep a low profile and develop for a few years, then head south across the seas, advance technology, seize territory, and build an empire on which the sun never sets, so the Chinese people won't miss out on the great Age of Exploration...
