[I became the representative of the Ming Dynasty, a descendant of Li Jinglong] "Planting bamboo in front of the court will provide shade to the country." A prophecy reached heaven, and Jiajing believed it without doubt.
This was a dynasty that was at its peak. From its sweep of Liuhe in the early Ming Dynasty to its gradual decline after the Tumubao Incident, it was still able to recreate the "Three Thousand Miles of North Korea" two hundred years after the founding of the country. Starting from the unification of the six kingdoms by Qin Shihuang, all the unified dynasties in the past dynasties were unable to do this in the two hundred years after the founding of the country. The building collapsed. This is difficult for many people.

Starting from a barrel of moldy military rations, he overturned the pot of the Beijing camp and cut off Jiubian's financial path. The civil servants hated him, and the generals were afraid of him.
In fifty years, we defeated the Japanese pirates, subdued the Mongols, and strangled Jurchen in her cradle.
