In 1898, military expert Han Zheng traveled through Weihaiwei and became a prodigal son in a fishing village who had lost all his property, was addicted to smoking, and even signed a contract to sell his wife with his own hand.
Creditors blocked the door, his wife was forced to commit suicide, and he only had three days left to raise forty taels of silver.
Everyone was waiting to see him lying dead in the sea, but Han Zheng dragged his broken body after withdrawal and broke into the Dead Man's Reef alone, where no one dared to go. Check the tide, look for sea cucumbers, catch yellow-lipped fish, and get sixty taels of silver in exchange for a piece of top-quality money glue!
Smashing the face with silver and burning the deed is just the beginning.
From the acquisition of maritime goods to the ocean-going fleet, from a dilapidated fishing village to a new shipyard, from a blacksmith shop to a secret military industrial base, Han Zheng wants to use the limited materials and craftsmanship in the late Qing Dynasty to build guns and warships belonging to the Chinese.
Zhou Laohu wanted to cut off his livelihood, local business gangs wanted to swallow up his property, foreign companies wanted to seize his port, and the Qing dignitaries also wanted to take away his military power.
Han Zheng only said one sentence:
"First accomplish what is in front of you, and then talk about the world."
In this life, he not only wants his wife to live upright, but also wants the people on this land to no longer have to kneel down to survive!

The opening is full of contrast, the rhythm is refreshing, the main plot is advanced easily, and there is no superfluous plot. The more I watch, the more I get hooked, and I look forward to a bigger plot explosion in the future!
