Kangxi, I Banned the Seas, and You Built a Maritime Empire Where the Sun Never Sets?

In the twenty-second year of the Kangxi reign of the Great Qing, the Qing court sent Shi Lang as commander-in-chief to attack Yizhou Island, and the Ming-Zheng regime was defeated. Thus, the last regime that upheld the Great Ming as the legitimate dynasty fell.

From then on, the Great Qing indulged in the dream of a prosperous Kangxi era, closing its doors to the world, refusing to advance, and seeking to enslave its people through policies of ignorance. Meanwhile, the West had entered the Age of Exploration, and industrial technology was advancing by leaps and bounds.

It had even entered the First Industrial Revolution.

For the first time, Huaxia fell behind the world, becoming a thoroughly backward nation.

Zhu Honghuan transmigrated into this era.

To his shock, he had become the leader of a Qing rebel faction exiled in Southeast Asia. If the Qing court caught him, wouldn't they torture him to death?

Fortunately, he awakened the Emperor's Expansion System. Using Southeast Asia as his base, he would rebuild an iron-blooded Great Ming.

Koreans: "I'd rather be a dog for the Great Ming than a vassal of barbarians."

Japanese pirates: "What? The Great Ming fleet is attacking us? And they want to sign an unequal treaty with us?"

Catherine: "If the Great Ming agrees to an alliance by marriage, I'll offer all of Asia as my dowry."
