Great Ming: I'm Zhu Yuanzhang's Personal Attendant

After transmigrating to the end of the Ming dynasty, Zhu Cilang finds the court's officials monopolizing power, frontier warlords carving out their own domains, the Tartars beyond the passes watching hungrily, and famine and peasant uprisings looming across the land.

Watching Chongzhen toil day and night over state affairs without solving a single problem, Crown Prince Zhu Cilang realizes that if things continue like this, he'll end up a boy emperor of the Southern Ming.

In the tenth year of Chongzhen's reign, the crown prince leaves the palace and, using the Embroidered Uniform Guard as his foundation, organizes a peasant uprising. He openly rebels to purge the court, killing local tyrants and corrupt officials and making wealth equal. His cry, "Eat their food, wear their clothes! The crown prince is here, so no more taxes!" shakes the whole realm.

He kills Zhang Xianzhong, crushes Li Zicheng, battles Wu Sangui, snatches Chen Yuanyuan, and recruits Li Dingguo... The Crown Prince's army gradually grows into the strongest peasant rebel force in the land, hailed as the "Royal Army" by the poor and destitute.

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen's reign, the crown prince leads his peasant rebels in a fierce assault on the imperial capital, leaving the entire court terrified.

Officials: Your Majesty, please do something about the crown prince! He says that once the city falls, he'll confiscate all our estates and exterminate our families down to the tenth degree.
