Beschreibung

"In 1405, a family left their home in the Mongolian steppe and moved to China. Winning recognition for military skill and loyalty at the Ming court, their story demonstrates how the early-modern world's most developed state sought to balance the often-contradictory demands of securing ability and addressing difference"-- Provided by publisher.
