Zhu Yu transmigrates to the early Ming dynasty and becomes an obscure grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang.
With the Jingnan Campaign and the Tumu Crisis looming, he had hoped to live as a carefree prince. But the tide of history gives him no room to retreat!
Zhu Yunwen? A ruler in the thrall of pedantic scholars. He has no business ruling the realm!
Zhu Di? A good uncle, but he lacks vision!
If there's no one in the Ming who can shoulder the burden, then I'll do it!
From the start, he presents a map of the world, and Zhu Yuanzhang leaps to his feet in shock!
Farming? My potatoes and sweet potatoes yield a thousand catties per mu, ending famine across the realm!
Building an army? My new troops line up with firearms. One cannon blast, and the Mongol court beyond the northern frontier is wiped off the map!
Voyaging? My ironclad fleet crosses the oceans, and the fertile lands of the Americas all become Ming territory!
Zhu Di: “Your Majesty, I volunteer to serve as governor of North America!”
Zhu Yuanzhang: “My dear grandson, you're the one who can sit most securely on this throne!”
From Ming prince to ruler of the world, may the sun and moon shine forever, and the Ming banners never fall!
