The Tyrant of Great Ming: Forging an Empire Where the Sun Never Sets

[No System, transmigration, Ming history, power struggle, world domination, reform and hard work, industrial development]

After transmigrating to the Ming dynasty, he becomes the carpenter emperor, Zhu Youxiao.

To save the crumbling Ming dynasty, he begins training a new army, exterminating the Donglin faction, establishing a loyalist faction, and strengthening imperial authority.

He levies commercial taxes, promotes industry, distributes land taxes among households, brings native territories under direct rule, makes officials and merchants pay grain levies, and wages war overseas.

The Jurchen have rebelled? Then he’ll build towers of enemy skulls and slaughter them until their blood runs cold!

The Eight Great Shanxi Merchants are colluding with the Jurchen? All the more reason to kill them!

The gentry care only about profit and not the nation? Then he’ll slaughter them without mercy!

He will carve out a future for the Ming with his own blade!

He will make the Ming cavalry strike fear across the world and send the Ming navy on expeditions across the six continents. Wherever the sun, moon, and stars shine shall be Ming territory.

All under heaven shall be Ming soil, and all within its borders shall be Ming subjects.

He will make the entire world prostrate itself at his feet and become an emperor for the ages who rules the whole world!
