Great Ming: The Sixty-Fifth Year of Tianqi

Zhu Dongliang, a modern man, transmigrates into the body of the dying Tianqi Emperor at the end of the Ming dynasty. He strives tirelessly, cleverly drives out Wei Zhongxian and Ke Shi, seizes military power, establishes a royal guard and navy, reforms officialdom, cracks down on the gentry, and develops commerce and industry. Once the nation is wealthy and its army strong, he destroys the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Mongols, then launches campaigns east and west. By the sixty-fifth year of the Tianqi reign, the Ming has become an empire on which the sun never sets, and the Tianqi Emperor is the undisputed leader of the Eastern Hemisphere, with every nation paying tribute. Zhu Dongliang: “The most frustrating thing about being emperor is not knowing which concubine to choose.”
