The New World of the Ming Dynasty: Beginning with Zheng He's Voyages to the West

Zheng He's voyages to the West were the largest loss-making business in history. The money is shipped out, souvenirs are brought back, and travel expenses have to be paid back home. Xu Guangqi, who traveled through time and became a minor official on a ship, endured it for three months and finally went crazy. "Going to sea with the world's most powerful fleet to deliver money? I'll take over this project." Many years later, when European explorers arrived in the New World after all the hard work, what they saw was not the natives with spears, but a nine-masted treasure ship that blocked the sky and the sun, and a bright flag that faced the wind for hunting. "This is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and everyone who comes here has a name."
