[History][Hongwu][Pirates][17th Century Hegemony]
In 1662 AD, Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty died in Myanmar, and the Nanming regime was declared destroyed.
Li Laiheng, the grandson of Li Zicheng, the last Ming general, has been resisting the Qing army here for 11 years.
According to the normal historical line, the Chuang army would hold on in Xingshan for another two years, causing heavy casualties to the Qing army. In the end, they were besieged and deprived of food. In desperation, Li Laiheng could only ask his troops to surrender and commit suicide.
A poem by later generations goes like this: Before the world rebels, the enemy rebels first. The world will surrender before the enemy rebels.
Poets all lamented Li Laiheng's heroic spirit, but we also have a question: What if Li Laiheng's thousands of troops did not choose to be trapped in Xingshan, but chose to go south to Tianzhu.
This is the best of times and the worst of times. If the Han people join this game of carving up world territory, what will happen?
Li Laiheng: Only when there are no national boundaries and no language misunderstandings can people live together harmoniously. Only such a country is qualified to be called a paradise.
Great Britain is robbing us of our colonies, and Spain wants to join in the fun, so we will fight until we are completely victorious and reach a place where we Han people can survive.
Mei Wending: China cannot lose Australia, just like the West cannot lose Jerusalem.
Yuan Zongdi: Open the door to free trade.
Zheng Chenggong: I didn't die, and I also created a big world for the Han people. I'm so happy.
Zhu Yuanzhang: I went to school at eight in the morning. This stupid young man came to us. Can't you talk properly?
