Great Ming: The Imperial Grandson Scares Old Zhu Stiff from the Start

After transmigrating to the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty, he becomes Zhu Gaochi, the Heir Apparent of Prince of Yan, and awakens heaven-defying comprehension!

At this time, Zhu Biao is still alive, Zhu Yuanzhang rules with an iron fist, and Zhu Di is still a prince who dreams of becoming the Great General of the Northern Campaign. Looking at the crude black powder, eight-year-old Zhu Gaochi purifies and granulates it. A thunderous blast collapses the training ground and leaves Zhu Di dumbfounded! And that's just the beginning!

He develops industry: cement, glass, and steam engines propel the Ming into the Industrial Revolution ahead of schedule! He cracks down on corrupt officials: double-entry bookkeeping and value-added tax, skinning and stuffing them with straw, as officials' heads roll! He destroys foreign enemies: Gatling guns mow down Northern Yuan cavalry, ironclads bombard Japanese pirates, and the dragon banner flies across the globe!

Years later, Zhu Di drives a tank and looks at a world map. "Father, I don't want to be emperor anymore. I want to go overseas and be a governor!" Zhu Yunwen weeps in the bathroom: "My imperial uncle is too competitive. I might as well go work on an assembly line." Zhu Yuanzhang looks at the Ming, where the sun never sets, his hands trembling. "I told you to be the heir, and you turned the Ming into an empire where the sun never sets?"
