On this day in 1363, the Battle of Lake Poyang began—one of the largest naval battles in history.
Zhu Yuanzhang’s fire ships faced off against Chen Youliang’s massive fleet on China’s largest freshwater lake.
It wasn’t just a battle.
It was the beginning of the end for the Yuan dynasty—
and the rise of the Ming.
