Dias discovered the Cape of Good Hope in Africa in 1488, Columbus discovered the New World in 1492, and Vasco da Gama arrived in India in 1498...
The 15th century to the 17th century was an era of rapid progress in the history of world navigation. European feudal countries were involved in the craze of opening up new shipping routes and carving up colonies. In the 17th century, Spain controlled the Strait of Malacca and the Netherlands became a maritime coachman force that reached Taiwan. At the same time, Zheng He's seven voyages to the West were created, and the Ming Dynasty was the first great Eastern country to sprout the seeds of capitalism. The dynasty, however, was in a difficult situation both internally and externally due to its own corruption and the emperor's newfound independence. Peng Zhen, a man from science and engineering, became a sailor after graduating from university. During his shore leave, he accidentally traveled to the late Ming Dynasty. He wanted to use his knowledge to save himself, but by chance, he led a group of distressed people, established a vast colonial empire, and assisted the anti-Qing rebels to regain the Ming Dynasty.
