Hongwu's Radiant Sun: The Great Ming in Its Golden Age

Zhu Xiongying awakened with modern knowledge, and the fate of the Ming Dynasty was changed forever. He helped Zhu Yuanzhang streamline government affairs and ruthlessly rein in the Kong clan and other powerful families. He assisted Liu Bowen in pacifying Jiangnan and taught Lan Yu to make a name for himself with firearms in the southern frontier. Firearms shattered Northern Yuan's ambitions, while the Zhu clan slaughtered the Manchus. Armed with guns, they sent envoys to Japan and marched tens of thousands of troops abroad. Countless new industries filled the Ming treasury, setting Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial enterprises against state-owned businesses in a contest for supremacy.

He also teamed up with Zhu Di to make a fortune in glass. The second Zhu prince became a construction mogul, the third a car-dealership tycoon, and Zhu Biao a fast-moving consumer goods magnate.

Cement laid a thousand miles of smooth roads, and steel forged an invincible military spirit. The Ming entered the industrial age, with grandfather and grandson united and ruler and ministers working together. Watch how this young imperial grandson uses his own strength to secure the foundations of the Ming and lead it to a golden age where all nations come to pay tribute!

The second and third princes bring the laughs, and their antics become the fourth prince's greatest source of joy.
