Empire of the Sea: Citon Beacon

In the troubled times of the Yuan Dynasty, Lin'an fell and the Central Plains fell. Only Quanzhou Citong Port, where thousands of sails competed and trade from all countries took place, became the last maritime lifeline of China in troubled times. You Yongxian, who was born in a poor family in Yongchun and was familiar with the maritime affairs of Fujian and South Africa, had no family to rely on and no chance encounters from the sky, so he was involved in the turbulent whirlpool of the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Everyone in the world said they were loyal to the Song Dynasty and died for the festival, but he saw with his own eyes: dynasties changed, millions of people were displaced in troubled times, and the city of Quanzhou was full of craftsmen, merchants, and people waiting for survival. In order to protect the life of a city and continue the cultural heritage of the Maritime Silk Road for thousands of years, he made a decision against the odds and returned to the Yuan Dynasty with Pu Shougeng. He shouldered the world's infamy and used his ups and downs to mediate the sea and land chess games. During the bloody siege of the city, he defended Citon, reorganized the market, promoted maritime trade, and revived the southern Fujian industries such as Dehua porcelain and Yongchun incense. He personally experienced the tragedy of Yashan, discussed loyalty with Wen Tianxiang across the table, and jumped out of the corner of the dynasty to understand the true meaning of putting the common people first. Appointed by Kublai Khan as an envoy to the Southeast Asia, he sailed thousands of miles across the sea, embraced foreign lands with Chinese culture, and stabilized the sea frontiers through mutually beneficial trade. But sincerity and justice finally met with ambition, sudden changes occurred in the city, and the mission was in dire straits. With swords and axes on his body, his pride remained intact, and he left a sentence: "My soul returns to Citong after thousands of miles of sea." He sacrificed his life for the country as an envoy of China and left his bones, creating a loyal soul for the sea through the ages. Dynasties will eventually rise and fall, wars will eventually come to an end, but the culture of Erythrina will last forever, and the style of Haisi will be passed down from generation to generation. This is a dust-laden epic of Southeast Asian development, a tragic song of the people of southern Fujian guarding the frontier and protecting the people.
