Great Ming: Raising an Undead Army, Scaring Zhu Yuanzhang Stiff

Zhu Li transmigrates into the body of Zhu Yuanzhang's ninth son, the Prince of Han, and inherits the Eight Unique Skills, including Spirit Summoning and Divine Machine Crafting. He hides over a thousand zombies inside Mount Dingjun and names them the Silent Army. Undying and impervious to blades and bullets, they wait for the Jingnan Rebellion to erupt.

The powerful gentry of Guanzhong refuse to relocate? Their entire household is wiped out overnight, all 37 members dead. When the secret report from the Embroidered Uniform Guard reaches the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang acts as though he never saw it. This is his only son who can fight, and he can't bring himself to punish him.

But Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't know that Zhu Li has also summoned the imperial soul of Ying Zheng from the First Emperor's mausoleum. In his fief, he grows potatoes, refines salt, and makes cement, turning Hanzhong into an independent kingdom.

When Crown Prince Zhu Biao makes a western inspection tour, he discovers his ninth brother's zombie army and is stunned on the spot. Zhu Yuanzhang is furious, but Zhu Li only smiles. "Father, do you really think you're the only one who has a backup plan for this empire?"

When Zhu Di raises his army in the Jingnan Rebellion, Zhu Li opens the tomb of the Silent Army, and over a thousand zombies march out in formation. The court is left utterly dumbstruck, and Zhu Yuanzhang nearly falls off his dragon throne. Just how many more trump cards is this son hiding?
