Back to the Ming Dynasty: Beating Up My Wanli-Era Uncle

System talents + a slow-burn rise to power + maritime trade + colonial conquest + an epic struggle for supremacy. Transmigrating as a surviving remnant of the Jianwen Emperor's line and an abandoned royal son of the Ming, he starts with not even a bowl to his name and is forced to flee overseas. Fortunately, fate smiles on him, and he unexpectedly activates the Nine Dragons Unite as One System, changing his destiny against all odds. Starting as a lowly soldier, he goes on to conquer the Ryukyu Islands, establish himself in Bay Island, fight Japanese pirates, and destroy the Later Jin. He bleeds the already-dying Wanli Ming Dynasty dry. With his army at the gates of the capital, he asks his imperial uncle: “Will you give up the throne? If not, I'll beat you until you do!” He dominates the seas and asks the nations of the world: “Will you submit? If not, I'll fight until you do!” The old, decaying Ming Dynasty is smashed to pieces, and a brand-new age takes its place. With the Nine Dragons united and the realm brought under one rule, where will the dragon-slaying youth go from here? No AI, entirely handmade. If you're tired of power fantasies, come try something different.
