Xiao Chengsi, crown prince of the Nanhua Empire, inherits the throne before his father’s coffin and takes the reign title Longzhi!

The late emperor’s final command: Do not invade the Ming in the north. Expand only to the south.

He follows his ancestors’ instructions and leads his armies west, destroying Burma, surmounting the natural barrier of the Nu River, and claiming access to the Indian Ocean;

then he marches south, conquers the South Seas, takes control of the Strait of Malacca, drives out the Portuguese barbarians, and dominates the South China Sea!

He had only meant to expand his realm while keeping to his own corner, but the Ming eunuchs seized power. Wang Zhen misgoverned the state, reinforced troops in southern Yunnan, closed the border markets, and provoked him without restraint!

Enough is enough!

Emperor Longzhi publicly repudiates his ancestors’ command and sends 150,000 troops on a three-pronged northern campaign!

In the Tumu Crisis, the Ming’s 500,000-man army is wiped out, the Yingzong Emperor is captured, and chaos engulfs the Central Plains!

Seizing the opportunity, he leads his armies onward, breaks through Kunming, pacifies Jiangnan, captures Nanjing, and fights a bloody campaign to decide the fate of the realm!

A peace agreement divides the realm in two. Jinling becomes the imperial capital and Chengtian the secondary capital, with the Nanhua Empire standing as an equal to the Ming Dynasty!

Ironblooded campaigns, the might of firearms, and six legendary battles unfold one after another.

He expands the realm by thousands of miles and builds an everlasting empire. See how Emperor Longzhi sweeps across the world and lays the groundwork for a unified China that will endure for generations!
