I Transmigrated into Chongzhen, and My Great Ming Rules the Seas

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen's reign, a three-foot length of white silk hung from a crooked tree on Coal Hill.

Wang Cheng'en wept and begged the emperor to meet his end.

Zhu Youjian tore down the silk. "I'm only thirty-four, the perfect age to make something of myself. Come, we're going overseas."

It starts with a battered, half-sunken ship in Tianjin.

He recruits Zhang Huangyan, gathers the remnants of the navy, and heads south to open up the Nanyang.

Song Yingxing's Exploitation of the Works of Nature becomes a set of blueprints for a military factory.

Johann Adam Schall von Bell's red-barbarian cannons are refitted as breech-loading rifled guns.

Yan Yingyuan, Zhang Mingzhen, Zheng Chenggong: one after another, he gets to them first.

Dutch East India Company: "This man took our port with just nine men!"

Qing court: "Wasn't he supposed to have died on Coal Hill?!"

Japanese shogunate: "The Ming navy has Kyoto surrounded!!"

From one battered ship to a fleet of a thousand sails.

From a handful of routed soldiers to sweeping the four seas.

From a deserted island in the Nanyang to a counterattack on Beijing.

My Great Ming is reborn on the sea.
