The Sun Never Sets Tomorrow: Rebirth of the Jianwen Emperor to Rule the World

In June of the fourth year of Jianwen, on the eve of the destruction of Nanjing, Zhu Yunwen was reborn from the flames. He died by self-immolation in his previous life, but he returns with six hundred years of memories in this life. Facing Zhu Di's cavalry, he no longer bound himself to benevolence and righteousness. He burned down the palace and pretended to commit suicide. In fact, he took the national jade seal, the firearms craftsman, the navigation chart and the loyal old troops and fled eastward at night on the sea. On Dongfan Island (Taiwan), he discovered that there were mysterious mineral veins deep in the volcano, and used modern knowledge to refine special steel and antibiotics. It conquered the remnants of the Song Dynasty, Nanyang Han people, indigenous tribes, and even European explorers who drifted here due to storms. Build ironclad ships, cast new guns, and build the "Haixu Banner" navy. Zhu Di conducted seven cross-sea campaigns, but all were defeated by hurricanes, plagues and guerrilla warfare. And when Emperor Yongle finally assembled a huge fleet to press the border, he saw an alliance of city-states across the East China Sea and Southeast Asia, as well as a steel fleet with forest-like masts and fierce muzzles. "Fourth Uncle, the Ming Dynasty you want is on land, and the world I want is on the sea." From Dongfan to Luzon, from Malacca to the Cape of Good Hope, gold, spices, corn, potatoes, and silver rolled in. The Confucian Academy and the Academy of Gewu stood side by side, and the Maritime Code and the firearms drawings flew together. When the Spanish and Portuguese fleets finally sailed around the ocean and arrived in the east, they were greeted by the port with flying dragon flags and a calm announcement: "This sea is named Zhu."
