Great Ming: Reborn as the Crown Prince, I Defend the Realm with Minecraft

[Ming Dynasty + Minecraft + Zhu Cilang] Winter, the eleventh year of the Chongzhen reign. The wind cuts to the bone! Zhu Cilang wakes up to find that he has traveled back to the Ming Dynasty and taken the body of its last crown prince, Zhu Cilang. Just as despair sets in, he discovers that he has Minecraft! Armed with the power of Minecraft, I am the one and only variable that can save the crumbling Ming Dynasty! Natural disasters, man-made calamities, internal strife, and foreign threats: all are mere ants before the power of a creator! Sun Chu ting delivers an urgent report: “Your Highness, Shaanxi is barren for a thousand li, and corpses litter the land!” Zhu Cilang smiles. “Don’t panic. Infinite water sources, ready to deploy! Set up arrays of cobblestone generators and carve farmland out of the mountains!” The Chongzhen Emperor, Zhu Youjian, sighs in worry. “My son... The refugees outside the city are starving and freezing. I fear they won’t survive the winter...” Zhu Cilang waves a hand. “No problem. We’ll set up eternal campfires and light them everywhere. The coldest nights will feel like spring! We can plant Minecraft wheat, harvest it twelve times a day, and fill the granaries to bursting!” This is only the beginning! When the Eight Banners cavalry threatens once more, and the bloody fate of Yangzhou and Jiading begins to emerge from the pages of history, Zhu Cilang stands atop the Forbidden City. Behind him, a redstone-powered automatic defense system roars to life; beneath his feet, a Great Wall of obsidian stretches into the distance. “As long as I’m here, the Qing barbarians will never set foot on a single inch of Ming territory!” Zhu Cilang raises his enchanted diamond sword toward the sky. See how this Minecraft prince builds the foundations of an empire, one grass block at a time!
