The Japanese pirates of the Ming Dynasty were all Chinese, and the Ming Dynasty implemented a maritime ban, closing itself off from the world. If you believe this, then you have been thoroughly deceived by those pseudo-historical theories! This novel depicts the real Ming Dynasty! In the north, there were the Altan Khan pirates; in the south, there were Portuguese armed fleets; Japanese pirates roamed the seas, and sea piracy was rampant. The court was rife with intrigue and treachery; along the southeastern coast, corpses littered the land. Then appeared the resolute Zhu Wan. Together with renowned generals like Lu Tang and Yu Dayou, he vowed to rebuild the Ming Dynasty's maritime defenses. But the demons and monsters in the court were far more terrifying than the Japanese pirates at sea. "To quell evil and restore order, to not fail the Emperor. To retire after achieving success, to not fail the gentleman." Zhu Wan wrote his own epitaph. "If one family is condemned, the whole country is condemned. Who can escape death? Only by fulfilling my duty can I achieve what is right." Before he committed suicide, the entire court was shocked. From then on, the court abolished the position of inspecting ministers, and no minister dared to mention the maritime ban again. After Zhu Wan left, Lu Tang was imprisoned in a death row cell for three whole years. This is a story about unwavering loyalty and betrayal.
