Great Ming: After Fifteen Years as a Hostage, I Found the Han Dynasty

After transmigrating to the year 1560, during the Jiajing era, I became Zhu Zhiye, the Ninth Prince, kept out of sight.

My father showed me no affection, my mother was gravely ill, and the entire court was scheming. At that time, the steppe was invaded.

As a hostage, Zhu Zhiye would be sent to the steppe, where trade would be established along the Mongolian frontier and hostilities would cease.

The entire court rejoiced. No one cared whether eight-year-old Zhu Zhiye would survive.

The Ming Dynasty was on the verge of collapse. The last dynasty of the Han people was about to vanish. Looking out at this chaotic age, the hostage Zhu Zhiye spoke in a mournful whisper.

"A Chinese person from the future has arrived. In this age of chaos, I will build a truly iron-blooded dynasty and make our Chinese civilization rise again."

"This new dynasty shall be called Han!"

"The Ming Dynasty is rotten to the core. Only Han can bring change. I am a hostage, and I will bring about the downfall of the late Ming with my own hands!"

On that day, a million troops marched through the pass, executed the Jiajing Emperor, and purged the dynasty.
