About This Novel

During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates ravaged the southeastern seaboard. In Luoke Bay, Taizhou Prefecture, Chen Yuanji, a retired helmsman who was lame, lived in seclusion on the beach and made a living by mending nets and teaching tides. Five years ago, when Japanese pirates massacred his village, his whole family was buried in a sea of ​​fire, and his left leg was crippled by a broken mast. He never went to sea again. A wooden box drifting from the sea broke the calm - a Japanese sword and a sea map in the box revealed the secrets that his brother Chen Yuanheng had buried for twenty years. Chen Yuanheng divided the family biography "Duhai Zhenjing" into two parts in Shuangyu Port. The outer chapter "Duhai Pian" was left to his younger brother, and the inner chapter "Fubo Pian" was lost at sea. Today, the Japanese pirate leader Shimazu Jubei is traveling across the East China Sea with half of the Fubo Chapter, and the female leader of the Dan family, Zheng Sanniang, comes to collect debts with the other half. In order to protect the last fishing ground, Chen Yuanji was forced to regain control of the rudder. Using fishing nets as an array and tides as soldiers, he joined forces with Zheng Sanniang to resist the Japanese pirates. Young Li Asui became a disciple and learned to recognize water colors and tides. He took over the crack compass passed down by the Chen family and grew into a new generation of helmsman amid gunfire and reefs. This book uses the rudder as a tool and the sea as a field. It tells the story of a group of fishermen abandoned by the times, who use the navigation experience passed down from their ancestors to guard a coast.
