One day, Zhu Gaoxu finds himself in the fourth year of Yongle as the Ming dynasty's Prince of Han, and he can't help feeling a little panicked.
The overall situation is already settled. Zhu Di is using him, Zhu Gaochi is stringing him along, and Zhu Gaosui is only pretending to be on his side. Then he remembers that one day his eldest nephew will roast him alive over a charcoal brazier. A chill shoots straight through him.
He refuses to sit around waiting to be roasted, so Zhu Gaoxu decides he must act!
Just then, the Ming court is discussing a military campaign against Annam. The Great Nation Technology Exchange System activates, requiring only that he establish a country. Once he does, he can develop technology and earn rewards.
Zhu Gaoxu makes up his mind at once: he will go abroad, found a country, and build a powerful nation of his own!
He immediately volunteers to attack Annam and establish the Great Han on its land, developing it into a thriving country.
Many years later, Zhu Gaoxu gazes at the Great Han's territory, which far surpasses the Ming's, and finally smiles with relief. He no longer has to worry about being roasted alive.
But when the Ming court sees that the Great Han has grown even larger and stronger than the Ming, everyone is stunned.
“How did Prince Han's Great Han become larger and stronger than the Ming?”
