A Thousand Years of Military Glory: Starting with the Hongwu Emperor's Sudden Death

[A Millennia-Old Military Legacy + Reformers + A Legacy in the Histories + The Truth Behind Dynastic Change] In the final years of Hongwu, Zhu Yunwen poisoned the founding emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang. The emperor was laid to rest that very day and buried seven days later... Emperor Jianwen seized the throne with an edict forged in his name. Fearing his hold on power was weak, he launched an aggressive campaign to strip the vassal princes of their power. Li Jinglong transmigrated into the past. To set the Ming Dynasty back on the right course, he laid his plans early and became the hidden mastermind behind the Jingnan Campaign. He began by making Prince of Yan Zhu Di his first move. All to forge a millennia-old clan of distinguished military service! The official histories record: During the Jingnan Campaign, the Duke of Cao led an army of six hundred thousand and failed to take Beiping after a lengthy siege. He was then utterly defeated by Prince of Yan Zhu Di's thirty thousand cavalry. Yet he is still hailed as the Ming Dynasty's greatest god of war and the campaign's foremost contributor... What secrets lie behind this? The second Duke of Cao confronted Prince Han Zhu Gaoxu's rebellion by cursing the unworthy descendant on the battlefield, enraging the prince so much that he spat up three liters of blood! The third Duke of Cao took a major part in the Tumu Crisis and saw through every cause and truth behind it. The twelfth Duke of Cao bombarded Nurhaci, fought Huang Taiji time and again, faced the Eight Banners in open battle, and held Shanhai Pass to the last... The official histories record: The Ming's foremost military clan, the heroes of the Han people in this age, should be just like this!
