The Steam World of the Beiyang Federation

In the hometown of the former Qing Dynasty, Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty granted the eternal fiefdom to the Zheng family, the hero of the restoration of the capital after the Jiashen Incident. Vladivostok, the most prosperous steam city on the west coast of the North Pacific, has tall buildings decorated with steam machinery, steam locomotives on the rails are constantly shuttling back and forth, and huge airships are flying in the sky. The descendants of the Zheng family inherited the wisdom of their ancestors and combined advanced steam technology with profound Confucian culture. They respected the sages and sages of various schools of thought, and advocated in-depth study of the latest science and steam technology in the world based on scientific and technological exploration and innovation. Together with countless Chinese pioneers, they established a North Pacific Chinese Federation that reached Siberia in the north, Shenyang in the south, Lake Baikal in the west, and Seattle in the east. However, Zheng's rule was not perfect. Aristocratic families inevitably appear over time. High-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen used power for personal gain without caring about the suffering of the people. Poverty and injustice spread among the lower classes. In the Eastern Continent and Siberia, new colonists from Europe and Japan were eyeing the territory of the Federation. What's even more frightening is that the Ming Emperor's fear of the Beiyang Federation is growing day by day. Not only that, in the Eastern Continent and Siberia, the conflicts between the Federation and the European colonists are also increasing day by day, and even the relationship with the Zheng family of the same sect in Nanyang is becoming increasingly tense. Our hero Wei Peng wakes up in his room in the slums with only a mysterious pocket watch next to him. He knows nothing about this world. Who is the owner of this body? Why here? A new adventure in the Chinese steampunk world is about to begin. . .
