In the Jia Shen coup, the emperor died for his country, and Wu Sangui led the Qing army into the pass. In this time of turmoil and when barbarians covet the throne, how can there be no loyal ministers on the land of China? The enemy troops besieged Qingzhou City, and He Tuo urged them to surrender, saying, "Wang Shiheng, surrender! You have fought to the last minute!" In the isolated city of Yangzhou, Dodo shot a letter within the city urging surrender, saying, "If you surrender, General, you will be granted the title of Duke or Marquis!" Inside Nanjing, Qian Qianyi said, "The situation is hopeless now. A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall. Shiheng should know the rise and fall of dynasties. For his own sake, he should surrender early. In this way, he can obtain a high-ranking official position!" Wang Yan angrily said, "This is not the change of the Han dynasty, but the invasion of the barbarians from the south. It is not the fall of the country, but the fall of the world! We scholars have received the country's favor for generations, eat the court's salary, and do the work of being loyal to the emperor.

Curator note

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.

By 1204, the Byzantine Empire had crumbled, and its sole heirs, Nicaea, Epirus, and Trebizond, were still embroiled in infighting, completely forgetting their national and personal grievances.
