Résumé

The Ming Dynasty: A History of China, PART ONE, takes you back to the rough beginnings of Zhu Yuanzhang, a boy who grew up with almost nothing and later rose to found a new dynasty. His early struggles, his daring leap into rebellion, and the turning points that followed read less like distant history and more like the story of someone fighting his way through impossible odds. The journey leads through a land split by rival powers, where warlords fought for survival and control.
You'll stand at the Battle of Poyang Lake, one of the greatest clashes on water, and follow Zhu Yuanzhang in his hard-fought campaigns against Zhang Shicheng. From southern expeditions to the march north against the Yuan dynasty and the dramatic capture of Dadu, every step feels urgent, dangerous, and deeply human. But the battles outside were only half the struggle. Inside the new court, danger wore a different face.
The Hu Weiyong case and the fall of Lan Yu show how ambition and mistrust shaped the dynasty from within. Even the strongest empire could tremble when friends became suspects and loyalty turned into a question of survival. The story doesn't stop with Zhu Yuanzhang. You'll meet Emperor Jianwen, whose rule was shaken by the Jingnan Campaign, and Zhu Di, the prince who seized the throne and became known as the Yongle Emperor.
Under his reign, Zheng He's massive fleets sailed across oceans, carrying China's name to distant shores, while at home the Yongle court built an age of wealth, culture, and vision that still fascinates today. Later emperors like Hongxi and Xuande brought their own touch, steering the dynasty toward steadier governance and leaving marks of their own. From desperate beginnings to sea voyages that reached beyond the horizon, from brutal battles to palace intrigue, this book opens the Ming dynasty as a living tale of leaders, rivals, and dreamers whose choices shaped centuries of history.
