    But then we'll have a thing with whoever guesses Grymloq's pic. It's all Diodredai's fault for posting a new pic at the same time as his guess

    Yes it is!
    He was the Third Ming Emperor and son of the First Emperor Hongwu. It was during Yongle's reign that many of Zhang He's voyages were carried out and that the Ming Empire reached its full extent. He was Prince of Beijing and defeated the armies of his nephew on several occasions, thus becoming emperor and moving the Capital from Nanjing to Beijing. In his reign there were 6 Mongolian campaigns of which one was a defeat (lead by his generals), 3 were victories (led by himself), and 2 had no fighting as the Mongols retreated (led by himself). Later on he ordered an invasion of Vietnam in which he was successful but would later become a failure for his future heirs.
