Late Ming: Our Entire Clan Rebels Together

The Ming is not that Ming, yet it is still that Ming.

In the thirty-fourth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang abdicated in favor of his eldest grandson, Zhu Xiongying!

This is a Ming without the Jingnan Campaign, the Lan Yu case, the Great Rites Controversy, or the Defense of Beijing.

This is still a Ming with Yu Qian, Li Dongyang, Yan Song, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Qi Jiguang, and Li Chengliang.

And in its final years, this Ming still suffers from the Jianzhou Jurchens, with refugees everywhere, starving corpses littering the land, bones exposed in the wilderness, and people driven to eating their own children.

This is the Ming I intend to smash!

As for the Qing? I'll smash them too, while I'm at it.
