Great Ming: I Am Zhu Di. Call Me the Yongle Emperor

Zhu Di, left behind in the modern era, returns to the Hongwu years of the Ming Dynasty, but can travel between both worlds.

In the eleventh year of Hongwu, he takes up his post in Beiping ahead of schedule and begins laying plans.

He destroys the Northern Yuan, conquers Korea, and wipes out the Japanese pirates! His navy colonizes the globe!

Zhu Di's name becomes famous on the banks of the Seine. The red-haired barbarians call him the Sword of God! From then on, they kneel and sing of their surrender!
