Zhu Youjian turned his gaze toward the deep blue sea and resolutely gave the order: send the fleet out. A vast fleet blotted out the sky as it swept across nations, toppling their states, wiping out their peoples, and eradicating their descendants, to funnel the resources of every corner of the world into the Ming and establish an unparalleled empire on which the sun never sets.

All under Heaven belongs to the king; all who live within its borders are his subjects. What they call a tyrant, we call a sage ruler. Watch how I, Zhu Youjian, wielding a three-foot blade, lead the righteous to carve out a path to victory amid the dying Ming's turmoil!
