This book is a historical biography describing the legendary life of Zhu Di, the founder of Ming Dynasty. The book consists of 9 chapters and more than 300,000 words. The author digs deep into the literature of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties and Korea-related historical materials to give a relatively comprehensive account of Zhu Di's martial arts life, including the enfeoffment of vassal kings in the early Ming Dynasty, the process of Emperor Jianwen's elimination of vassals and the Battle of Jingnan, the background and process of Zheng He's voyages to the West, the development of the factory guard system, the relationship between the Yongle Dynasty and Korea, etc. The author focuses on penetrating deeply into Zhu Di's emotional world. By describing the relationship between royal family members, the secrets of the harem, the mystery of his biological mother, the tribute concubines of Korea and other historical events, he makes a more detailed analysis and introduction of the historical causes and consequences one by one, making it easier for people to understand the character traits of Emperor Yongle and the motivations for his actions. During Zhu Di's reign, he conquered Mobei five times and showed his power across the vast sea. Finally, he died mysteriously and suddenly during the expedition, which is also explained in the book.
This book is not a joke. The author strives to use detailed information to interpret history, focusing on the combination of scholarship, knowledge and readability.
