[Court intrigue] + [Iron-blooded] + [Conquest] + [No System]
“Zhu Qizhen, I’ll clean up the mess you left behind!”
The snow and wind at Tumu Fortress have yet to subside, and the Oirat blades are already at my throat.
When I open my eyes again, I’ve become the “Emperor Who Begged at the City Gates,” reviled by future generations.
Wang Zhen is abusing his power? I’ll execute him with my own hands before the army!
Esen is getting too arrogant? I’ll turn his grasslands into Ming pastures!
A debt of blood for two hundred thousand elite soldiers? I’ll pay it back with the heads of the entire Oirat tribe!
Factional strife at court is ruining the country? I’ll confiscate his family’s property and flay him alive!
Jin merchants are colluding with foreign enemies? I’ll have every last one of them executed, leaving no bones behind!
Future generations say I’m a disgrace to the Ming? Then I’ll show them how the rightful emperor sweeps across the northern deserts, crushes the southern seas, brings every nation to pay tribute, and plants the Ming banner across the four seas!
This time, I’ll make sure no foreign horse ever crosses the Ming border walls again. The grasslands of the Oirat and the Tatars will become Ming pastures, the fertile lands of Annam and Siam will become Ming granaries, and every country in the southern seas will pay tribute and bow to the Ming!
For the Ming, I’ll secure another three hundred years of glory!
