The Sails of the Sea

In the last years of Jiajing, the country was banned from sea. Lu Yunfan, a young maritime merchant from Quanzhou, lost his family and his family overnight, and managed to escape with only half a blood-stained navigational chart. The court said that he was a Japanese communicator, and the world was encircling and suppressing him. Even the cold-faced female censor Shen Jinglan who was chasing him seemed to have another face. He fled to sea, only to find that his father's death and the murder of the sect all pointed to a major corruption case of "Forbidden Sea Silver" that shocked the government and the public. Silver doesn't speak, but charts, ledgers, and firearms do. Who owns the other half of the chart? Who does the "somewhere in the capital" on the ledger refer to? And when Lu Yunfan finally pulled together a fleet, what he had to fight was no longer a certain enemy, but an entire behemoth that relied on "retreat" to suck blood. This is a road of no return. Surrounded by beauties who are both enemies and friends, in front are Japanese pirates, a powerful minister in the court, Qi Jiguang who serves the country loyally, and Zhang Juzheng who is dedicated to reform. What he wants to do is to create a new path for future generations through swords, business wars and court intrigues. In the era of maritime ban, the story of the last maritime merchant.
