Canghai Longqi

In the first year of Jianlong, Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao rebelled, replacing Zhou Dynasty and establishing Song Dynasty. The oath they had made with Chai Rong and Qian Chu to "safeguard the world and protect the people" was shattered. Qian Chu, the leader of the Wuyue Kingdom, changed his name and submitted to the new dynasty. Although he did not agree with the Zhao family's intention to usurp the Zhou Dynasty, he could not bear the peace of the south of the Yangtze River to be reduced to the flames of war. Under the unification of the land and frontiers, he was in a dilemma. In a desperate situation, he turned his attention to the vast sea - instead of fighting for the land rights of the Central Plains, he looked for a way out by sea. At that time, Ma Yue, a prodigal son from the northwest who had been wandering for ten years, happened to return to Hangzhou. He traveled all over Central Asia, India, Japan and the far western city-states, carrying with him the fragments of the world he had worked for half his life, and quietly met the Yinren King at the Qiantang Pier. The two of them are neither kings nor ministers. They only want to survive and have their original aspirations, and they become partners in troubled times. Qian Chu used the country's foundation, people's hearts, power and wealth as his shield to stabilize the country and not rebel or fight; Ma Yue used trade routes, navigation, and vision as his blades to create Wanmu Stone, starting from offshore trade, and slowly uncovering the truth about the world. There is no prophet from heaven, no cheating, everything is moving forward through testing, groping, and perseverance. From the merchant boats to the ocean-going fleet, from scattered knowledge to the navigation system, from the southeastern corner to the connection of the seven seas, they blazed a path to maritime power unique to China amid the suspicions of the Song Dynasty and the disputes between countries. His son Ma Yi inherited his father's ambition, and with the idea of ​​"two are born, two begets three, three begets all things", he deeply cultivated skills and deduced civilization, and pushed the path of exploration to the stars and all things. This is not a history of emperors' struggle for hegemony, but an epic of civilization breaking through. Beginning with the original intention, taking the vast sea as the road, and ending with order, we will open up a new civilizational course beyond the reincarnation of dynasties.
