Zhu Yuanzhang: I forbid the sea, you become the sea where the sun never sets

In the twenty-third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered a ban on the sea. Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang who had transmigrated and became Zhu Di’s follower, directly wrote a letter to open the sea. He also requested to be granted Qiongzhou and made bold claims. He earned ten thousand taels of gold a year and defeated the Japanese in three years. Zhu Yuanzhang did not care.

Until a year later, Zhu Bai brought boatloads of gold into the capital.

All the way to the ocean, where the sun and moon shone, it was under the jurisdiction of King Qiong’s residence.

The whole world belongs to Ming Dynasty now. Zhu Yunwen, are you sure you want to cut the vassal?？？？
