That year, the Great Yuan had yet to be established, but the Mongol Empire already dominated the continent. A king in the capital was consumed by ambition, intent on gathering Mongol cavalry and the armies of Han Chinese warlords, a force numbering in the millions, to water their horses south of the Yangtze and turn all of China into pastureland.
That year, rivers of blood flowed beneath Xiangyang, while the foolish emperor in Lin’an remained lost in wine and women, bedding thirty men in a single night. Jia Sidao held unchecked power and ruthlessly purged his opponents, while most of the literati lounged by West Lake, listening to songs in pleasure houses.
That year, wars among the Mediterranean nations were just getting underway. The Byzantine Empire struggled to hold on, the Kingdom of Jerusalem was on its last legs, and the Mamluk Sultanate was rising like the sun. The Turkic states quietly nursed their wounds, the ruler of Naples was ambitious, and the desire to explore was brewing on the Iberian Peninsula...
By then, muskets, cannons, ocean-going sailing ships, and all kinds of other technologies had appeared, and maritime trade between Asia and Europe had continued for centuries.
When a transmigrator arrives in this world, where history has taken a different course, what will he choose?
What he doesn’t know is the look Kublai Khan will wear ten years later, when he faces the invincible fleet under his command...
