What if Chen Youliang had defeated Zhu Yuanzhang at the Battle of Lake Poyang?

Lets say that ITTL Chen crushes Zhu's smaller fleet and Zhu himself is killed(this is basically what happened OTL just with the winners and losers switched). A Dahan(Chen's faction) victory would cement them as the leading rebel group and the one which would take over after the defeat of the Yuan. What then? What would China be like under the Dahan? What kind of polices would they have? What would Chen Youliang be like as emperor?

I should point out that I know very little about Chinese history but this just stuck out to me as a likely POD that could have major repercussions so if people have sources for this time period it would be very helpful.
