The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were waiting for Tianqi to die, but no one thought that the emperor had changed his core. Carrying his illness, Zhu Yuanwu used his hidden memory of Hongwu to cope with the chaos of the late Ming Dynasty. Party strife, refugees, and the post-Jin Dynasty were full of difficulties. He struggled to survive and tried to delay the end of the dynasty.

The mystery surrounding the death of Zhengde begins to unfold: three days after Zhengde's death, the edict has been issued, and the new king is on his way to Beijing. Ordinary modern people have traveled through time and have no choice but to seize the door in order to survive. It's a pity that the protagonist's power is limited. Fortunately, he knew how to use Wang Yangming, but the difficulty of winning the door is too great... I can't pass the three chapters. The protagonist is not high-powered, and he is not strong in governing the country. The logic must be reasonable, power and strategy are the core, and the reversals will continue from the beginning.

Reader note
A fine book from the Ming Dynasty that is not ridiculous. Also known as "Da Ming: I Really Just Want to Lie Down", "Hongwu: Your Majesty, This Is My Disease", "Da Ming's Attending Physician", "Da Ming Zhenhai King" Zhang Wuxian, a 36-year-old entrepreneurial failure, traveled eleven years to Hongwu and became a 20-year-old spirited boy. He originally wanted to lie down and be a salted fish, but his severe obsessive-compulsive disorder made him unable to see anything "unreasonable" - wrong food prices must be corrected, medical care is backward, the army must be corrected, even if Ming Dynasty does not conquer the world, it must be corrected. What's even more outrageous is that he has a system in his mind that automatically stuffs him with solutions and supplies every time he suffers an episode of obsessive-compulsive disorder, without paying for it. So - he saved the dying Crown Princess Chang after childbirth, and Chang Yuchun's daughter survived; he inoculated the emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying with cowpox, and the child who should have died at the age of 8 was alive and kicking; he rescued Empress Ma by infusion when she was critically ill, and Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite woman lived twenty more years; he diagnosed Zhu Biao's terminal illness in advance, so that the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty would no longer die young. Once these four people were alive, the history of the Ming Dynasty was completely rewritten - Emperor Jianwen was gone, the Battle of Jingnan was gone, and the Lan Yu Case was gone. Empress Ma recognized him as her adopted son and said "this is my son" when meeting people; Zhu Biao and Zhu Di called him brothers, one called him "virtuous brother" and the other called him "brother-in-law"; Xu Da took the initiative to marry his daughter to him, and he became the son-in-law of Wei Guogong; Lan Yu regarded him as his savior and defended him from the knife in the court. Zhu Yuanzhang patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are the most diligent person we have ever seen in this life." Zhang Wuxian replied with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, I am really not diligent... I am sick!" Later, he led Zheng He to capture the Shijian Yin Mountain, crossed the Pacific Ocean, discovered America, and planted the flag of the Ming Dynasty all over the world. On the day when the Ming Dynasty unified the world, he could finally lie down. But there is a tree planted crookedly in the yard...

After understanding some of the history of the Ming Dynasty, I feel that the foundation of the late Ming Dynasty is very good. It requires money, people, technology, and ideas. As long as you have normal historical knowledge for future generations and sit in that position, anyone can reshape history. There is no need for any system or golden finger. I recommend this book, it's a refreshing read, it feels like it reintegrates the national heroes of the late Ming Dynasty. The protagonist has been hiding in the Forbidden City all his life, just save his life and win.
28 Daming: I Chang Yuchun's Brother, a Hero in the Early Ming Dynasty Panax NotoginsengHistorical2.3M WordsOngoing 8.2kReads8.5Score482Shelves
Reader note
The realism delayed by the title of the book is written in the early Ming Dynasty! "Da Ming: I am Chang Yuchun's biological brother and a hero in the early Ming Dynasty", the protagonist assumes the role of Chang Yuchun's younger brother Chang Yulin. He does not follow the path of systematic deification and relies purely on historical knowledge to survive in the troubled times of the late Yuan Dynasty. The author's research is very solid. From the surrender of troops in Hezhou, the battle of crossing the river to the pacification of Chen Youliang, the timeline of key battles and the relationships between the characters are basically consistent with historical facts. The protagonist's intervention is all in the details - changing a military order, repairing a food road, protecting a person who should have died young, slowly leveraging history with the butterfly effect. There is no brainless crushing, nor does Zhu Yuanzhang be described as a coward. The rise of Huaixi nobles and the pull of the court forces are all written with great weight. Those who like historical texts with a sense of drama can enjoy it. #EarlyHistory #draxiang # Textual Research Party # Chang Yuchun
