From the Start, I Take Down Zhu Yuanzhang and Build a New Ming Empire!

Chen Shan transmigrates to the Ming Dynasty, thinking he must be the chosen one, only to discover that his System won't activate until he turns sixty! At long last, he makes it to sixty and the System activates. Chen Shan bursts into tears: he's practically already in the grave!

Living a second life, Chen Shan drives out the Mongol Yuan and helps Zhu Yuanzhang establish the Ming Dynasty. Who knew Zhu Yuanzhang would fear that Chen Shan's achievements might overshadow his own and insist on discarding him once his usefulness was over?

I helped you become emperor, and now you want to take me out?

Well, then, forgive me, but I'll claim the Ming realm for myself, and everything beyond it too!

I plant my banner at Langjuxu in Fusang in the East Sea. All the islands of the South Seas are territory of my dynasty. My New Ming settlers are in the Australian continent. I herd sheep and race horses by Lake Baikal. And if the native peoples across the ocean in the Americas dare to offend my Ming, no matter how far away they are, they will be punished!
