Late Ming: Conquering the World, Starting as a Pirate Captain

How many steps does it take to become a pirate chief in the late Ming dynasty?

Three!

First, occupy Bay Island.

Use it as a base to control Ming China's maritime trade and rake in money!

Second, the Black Ships incident.

Land a fleet in Japan and turn it into a province of our Great Ming!

Third, colonize India.

Not for any other reason, but because Indians are just so useful.

Even when they seek independence,

they do it in the adorable form of "nonviolence and noncooperation."

But can a mere Asia satisfy Su Mu's ambition?

No! This is only the beginning of his bid to rule the oceans.

The vast lands of Europe and the Americas

are waiting for the protagonist to explore.

He vows to do it all on his own:

to become the man who ushers in the Age of Discovery!

The dignity of the Han people is won through battle!
