Chronicle of the Broken Imperial Seal: The Last Sea Chart of the Great Ming

Chongzhen hanged himself at Coal Hill, the Ming dynasty fell, and the Imperial Seal was split in two. Han Yue, Minister of War, fled overseas with the twelve-year-old Dingwu Emperor. From the snowy mountains of Tibet to the Taiwan Strait, from the Spice Islands to the jungles of Borneo, they searched desperately for the other half of the seal while pursued by Dutch warships and Qing forces. Zheng He’s legacy, six centuries in the making; descendants of the Ming army in Southeast Asia; hidden gold mines and shipwrecks... When the two halves of the seal are finally reunited, can the last sons of Han restore their homeland? An epic maritime resistance against the Qing, erased from official histories, and a more realistic chronicle of the late Ming than The Deer and the Cauldron!
