The year 1661, the fifteenth year of the Yongli reign.
Wu Sangui’s army of one hundred thousand surrounds Kunming.
The last emperor of the Southern Ming is betrayed by his own ministers as he flees.
Li Dingguo shoves the last imperial prince into Chen Rui’s arms. “Take him away. Head south, as far as you can.”
Three ships, 120 people, and a sea chart that ends at Jiaozhi.
No one knows that south of these waters lies a continent forgotten by the world.
Chen Rui does. He saw records of it in the library at the National Defense University.
But he doesn’t say so. Because the first thing he has to do isn’t tell these people, “We’re going to Australia.”
He has to find a way to get them through today alive.
This is the story of a people who have lost their country and start building a new one from nothing in the seventeenth-century South Seas.
No System, no old master, no pocket dimension.
Just the knowledge in one man’s head, and eighty-seven pairs of hands willing to follow him.
A very novel subject matter and a sense of accomplishment. I hope the author will continue to update it.
