The emperor defends the frontier, and the ruler dies with his kingdom?
No, no, that saying is long out of date!
The Yongle Emperor issues a proclamation: “The Tatars, Oirats, and Uriankhai shall all pasture my horses. Fusang shall produce silver for me, the Southern Seas shall yield gold, Tianzhu shall spin cotton and hemp for me, and Gaul shall brew my fine wine…”
It all starts with me!
My name is Li Feng, son of Li Jinglong, the Great Ming’s God of War.
The treacherous ministers at court want me dead. The founding heroes of the Jingnan Campaign want me dead. The princes of the Great Ming want me dead too…
But I refuse to give any of you what you want!
With every step, I outwit fate and turn the world around. I woo the fairest women and kill the wildest men!
We trade poems and celebrate moonlit nights.
May the Great Ming endure beneath the sun forever.
