Ming Dynasty: I, the Cricket Emperor, Don't Lose Heart When Playing with Things

Even if I am the Cricket Emperor, I will never lose my ambition by playing with things! Zhu Zhanji, who returned from studying abroad in modern times, was reborn in the first year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty. With the memory and wisdom of six hundred years later, he shouldered the important task of changing the fate of the Ming Dynasty and embarked on an unprecedented path of reform. Politically, he took drastic measures to consolidate imperial power and implement the separation of military and political affairs. Governance power is decentralized, allowing local governments to perform their own duties; military power is tightly controlled and cannot be left aside. Economically, he broke with tradition and established a shipping department, focusing on agriculture and commerce. He wants the merchants of the Ming Dynasty to set sail and sail to every corner of the world, ushering in the great era of navigation belonging to the Ming Dynasty. He wants the wealth of the world, like the water of a river, to flow endlessly into the Ming Dynasty. Militaryly, he sent troops to conquer Mongolia in the north, Korea and Japan in the east, and plowed the courts and swept holes. He wanted the Ming Dynasty's iron cavalry to trample every inch of the land and make the enemy fearful. He wanted to make Ming's reputation resound throughout the world so that no one would dare to offend him. Diplomatically, he enfeoffed foreign countries and abolished tribute. He wanted to make Ming Dynasty's diplomacy no longer a hypocritical way of all nations coming to Korea, but a true power and hegemony. He wants to make Daming's voice the only one in this world. "I, Emperor Xuande, hereby swear that wherever the sun and moon shine, and wherever the eye can see, is the land of the Ming Dynasty." His voice was like thunder, shaking the heaven and earth. "And this world only belongs to one voice, and that is the Ming Empire!" His gaze was like a torch, penetrating the long river of history and pointing directly to the future!
