Great Ming: Keep It Down, Prince of Yan, You're Making This Up as You Go

In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Crown Prince Zhu Biao died. That same year, Old Zhu named Zhu Yunwen Crown Prince's Heir. Zhu Di, sidelined by his father and frustrated with his lot, casually handed the job of building Ning City to his eldest legitimate son, Zhu Gaoxi. Three years later, when Prince Ning Zhu Quan arrived in Ning to take up his fief, albeit reluctantly, he was completely stunned.

Hundreds of thousands of warhorses, tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, commoners skilled with bows and horses, mountains of grain and provisions. Most importantly, from top to bottom, everyone in Ning City was Zhu Gaoxi's man!

When Old Zhu heard about it, he lost his composure, and Zhu Di hurried out to "set the record straight."

Zhu Di: Father, those horses are all for farming. They can't fight.

Zhu Di: Father, those commoners came to reclaim wasteland of their own accord. They're really not soldiers!

Zhu Di: Father, those flintlock guns... Father, I'll move into the pigsty tomorrow!

Only when Zhu Gaoxi hauled more than a hundred cannons out of Ning City did Yao Guangxiao race to Ning overnight. "Young lord, maybe tone it down a little. His Highness the Prince of Yan can't take it anymore... I mean, he can't keep making excuses!"
