Rebel Imperial Grandson: The Rise of the Ming Dynasty's Abandoned Son

I, Zhu Xiongying, should have been the most honored Imperial Crown Prince of the Hongwu era, yet a conspiracy cut my life short and erased me from the history books.

When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the fifteenth year of Hongwu with modern memories. I had Laoshan secret arts in my left hand and an all-purpose arsenal in my right. The upright officials accused me of violating our ancestral laws? Then I would fill the imperial granaries with potatoes and sweet potatoes!

The vassal princes feared I would undermine the foundations of the state? Just wait and see as railways link Beiping, while steam battleships plow through the East China Sea!

When Zhu Yuanzhang discovers that his eldest legitimate grandson can summon the national fortune of future generations, when Zhu Di sees reinforced-concrete fortresses rising outside Beiping, and when the Sun-and-Moon Banner flies across Europe before the Jianwen era even arrives... This Ming Dynasty, I will make it last for thousands upon thousands of years, and erase the names Yongle and Chongzhen from the history books forever!
