Now that the East Sea is pacified and the fleet is sufficient, we should lead the three armies to pacify Japan in the east and conquer the barbarians in the west, to revive our Great Ming and achieve universal harmony. This is my duty to serve Your Majesty. As for weighing the pros and cons and offering loyal advice, that is the responsibility of Xu, Gao, and Zhang. I beseech Your Majesty to entrust me with the power to conquer the four seas. If I fail, then punish me; if the order or chaos within the realm is in order, then the responsibility lies with Xu, Zhang, and Gao. If they fail to govern, then their faults should be made public. In the past, Shun had Yu on his left and Gao Yao on his right, and the world was at peace without him leaving his seat.

They weren't struck by lightning when they were transported to a chaotic world; it was their own choice. Some wanted to become kings and dominate, some wanted to relieve the people from their suffering, and some wanted to use their own strength to prevent the last barbaric conquest of civilization, thereby rewriting the history of the Chinese nation. Of course, some people only dream of having multiple wives and concubines, living an extremely decadent life that is unattainable in the modern world. This group of ordinary people, each with their own ambitions and aspirations, lacked the physical prowess of tigers, the aura of kings, and any magical advantages. They were crammed haphazardly onto an old ship, possessing only modern machines, technology, and various theories. These time travelers, harboring ambitions, dreams, and ideals unattainable in the modern world, set off towards the chaotic end of the Ming Dynasty. Destination: Hainan.

Curator note

In September of the fourth year of the Yongli reign, in order to completely defeat the Ming army under the Lu Regent system entrenched in the Zhoushan Islands, the Qing army first launched a campaign to suppress the anti-Qing forces in Siming Mountain, which were aligned with the Ming forces. In this battle, after defeating the main force of the local Ming army, the Qing army carried out a bloody campaign to cleanse the mountains. From then on, the Siming Mountain region, which had once experienced a population surge due to the ethnic oppression of the Manchus, was no longer able to organize large-scale anti-Qing armed forces. The fall of Siming Mountain directly led to the isolation and lack of support of the Ming army under the Lu Regent system in the Battle of Zhoushan a year later, as well as the complete collapse of the anti-Qing situation in Zhejiang. In July of the fourth year of the Yongli reign, time traveler Chen Wen unexpectedly appeared in this place. On this land once protected by the famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang, he restarted the path of China's military modernization, which had been forcibly interrupted decades ago, in the name of rebuilding the Qi Family Army.
