Rebelling with Old Zhu, the Ming Dynasty's Only Prince of Another Surname

In the final years of the Yuan Dynasty, land was concentrated in the hands of a few, the rich-poor divide widened, the government was short of funds, inflation soared, corruption ran rampant, and natural disasters struck without end.

Rebel armies rose across the land, determined to overthrow the Yuan court and bring the people a peaceful, stable realm.

At that moment, Ye Hao transmigrated into this era.

He became a bandit, and the second-in-command at that.

The boss, Chang Yuchun, was said to command a hundred thousand men and sweep across the land.

And then there was his brother-in-law, Lan Yu.

Just as Ye Hao was wondering how to join Zhu Yuanzhang, he came across a bald beggar by the roadside.
