Great Ming: I Sever Ties with the Empress Dowager from the Start

"Mighty China must never be trampled beneath the iron hooves of foreign invaders. The sun shall never set on the empire, and the Ming Dynasty must inherit that legacy. We will conquer the world and spread the glory of the Han people across the globe!"

Zhu Wenshuo makes up his mind to become emperor and carry out the shocking treason of seizing the throne.

So he decides to break ties with his mother in advance, to spare her the heartbreak.

What Zhu Wenshuo doesn't know is that his mother utterly spoils him, indulges him in everything, and loves him far too much. So...

He sets up commercial inns and restaurants, as well as textile and silk businesses. Just as he's about to develop commerce step by step, merchants from across the country flock to join him. He's stunned. What kind of move is this?

He establishes the Eastern and Western Depots and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, only to discover that this is actually the world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. He's about to search for the Evil-Warding Swordplay of the Fuwei Escort Agency, but the sword manual is nowhere to be found?

He arrives in Liaodong to defend against the Tatar attack, only to find Mongolian herders and Jurchen warriors from the lower ranks coming over to join him of their own accord. Shouldn't he take this chance to launch a major immigration campaign?
