Tan Zong, a modern man, died unjustly, but his heroic soul remained. He unexpectedly returned to a strange historical time and space, and became Lin Fu, a sideline child of the Lin family in Dongyang Prefecture who had just passed the exam, had a cowardly character, and was somewhat looked down upon by others. Before he could realize his dream of being a noble man who spends his days walking dogs and raising birds, Lin Fu was infatuated with Su Mei, a famous prostitute from Jiangning who brought disaster to the country, and was involved in a whirlpool of competition for sex involving today's celebrities, local tycoons, powerful officials in the DPRK and Central China, separatist tyrants, bandits in the East China Sea and many other forces. Not willing to be a peace dog, nor willing to be reduced to a man of chaos, let's see how Lin Fu, a man of two generations, started to make great changes from the bottom of the power pyramid, completing the gorgeous transformation from "a capable minister in governing the world" to "a hero in troubled times".
After re-reading it many years later, I felt that the author's writing skills are really good.
The knife broke so easily? You said you dropped my letter, but it's not like a scholar could do it.
Why is it called "crossbow" and not "cannon"?
Why is it called "crossbow" and not "cannon"? In ancient times, the stringed weapons were called "bows" and "crossbows"; the thrown weapons were called "cannons". "Trebuchet" was just a name translated from the West. In ancient China, they were all called "cannons", which is the same "cannon" as the "chariot, horse and cannon" in chess. As for the "cannon" of the "cannon" that was later fired with gunpowder, it also naturally evolved from the stone "cannon".
Suggestion: add a picture of the struggle situation
In order to learn better, I suggest you ask someone to help you with the struggle situation map. You can do it with coreldraw.
You can have several pictures for each stage, preferably with translations of ancient and modern place names.
If this book had been published 80 years earlier, it would have changed the trends in China and Asia!
I sincerely hope that Gengsu Boss can provide more things for academic discussion.

The ancient Zhuang Chuo's "Chicken Ribs" records: "After the founding of the Yan Dynasty, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Xianghu, Fujian and Guangzhou, and the northwest were full of people living in exile. In the early days of Shaoxing, a dendrobium of wheat cost ten thousand yuan, and the farmer's profit was twice that of planting rice. Tenants lost rent and only had autumn crops, and the profit of planting wheat went to customers alone. So they competed to plant spring crops, and they did not lose Huaibei!"

If you want to join a micro group, come and take a look.
Yesterday, when Gengsu recommended the Zongheng official micro group on his Weibo, I went in and took a look, and then I created a micro group with the label Gengsu Book Friends. The name was "More Auntie and Nephews' Kitchen" but the group had just been established and I found that nothing could be changed after setting up the group announcement. Then I called customer service and they replied that it would be resolved within three working days. If you want to join, you can find it by searching the name of the micro group.
I don't know if the name can be changed in the future. I wanted to initiate a vote on the name, but I didn't know how. Today, many people on Weibo also reported that Wei Group cannot be used, and they have to wait for Tencent to completely solve it.
What do you think of the dispute between writers and Baidu Books?
The Internet is originally based on openness, and payment is secondary.
Good content and good services. As netizens, many people are willing to pay some compensation, such as the work of Renren's subtitle translation team for more popular books. Of course, some people may not be financially well-off and read them for free.
In the late Ming Dynasty, Chinese pirates frightened Western colonists
I feel inspired by Donghai Fox Tanzong - read some online articles while waiting for the book! !
From the 16th century to the 18th century, Western colonists such as Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom continued to expand eastward, invading and harassing China's coastal provinces, burning, killing, looting, and committing heinous crimes. The atrocities committed by Western colonists not only aroused the anger and resistance of China's patriotic military and civilians. In the fight against the Western colonists, pirate leaders Shi He, Lin Feng, Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Yisao, Shi Shi, etc. Also led their tribes into battles and defeated the Western colonists and became famous on the sea.
Shi He and Lin Feng: Defeated the "Fo Lang Ji" one after another
"History of the Ming Dynasty: The Biography of Fulangji" records that the Fulangji were dangerous and had the most sophisticated weapons, and no overseas faction dared to confront them. "France" was the name given to Portugal, Spain and other countries in the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning of the 16th century, Portuguese colonists sailed to the Far East, preparing to invade China in an attempt to "exterminate the people of Guangzhou and seize all of China." In the twelfth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty (1517), Portuguese colonists invaded Dongguan County, Guangdong, occupied Tuen Mun Island, robbed travelers, robbed merchant ships, kidnapped young women from the seaside, and robbed Chinese people and transported them to India and Europe as slaves.
These criminal acts aroused the anger of the people of Qiongzhou. In May of the forty-third year of Jiajing (1564), three Portuguese ships docked in the port. When pirate Shi He learned of this, he led his men to attack the Portuguese ship, damaging the ship and breaking its mast. He had no choice but to retreat into the inner harbor and seek protection from the Ming Dynasty officials. At this time, Gao Zhuo, the commander of Qiongzhou in the Ming Dynasty, sided with the Portuguese. He commanded his officers and soldiers to dispatch together with the Li soldiers led by Chieftain Wang Shaolin to attack Shi He's fleet. However, Shi He set up an ambush and defeated the officers and soldiers, and Gao Zhuo escaped alone.
This is the earliest record that can be consulted about pirates fighting against Western invaders. It opened the prelude to Chinese pirates fighting against the invasion of Western colonists. As the benefits of colonial activities in China grew larger and larger, the Western invaders changed their past policy of only requiring trade and occupying commercial strongholds, and began to seize colonies in the surrounding areas of our country. Soon the Philippines and other places were occupied by Western invaders and used as a base for further invasions of China's southeastern coast.
At that time, Lin Feng, a native of Chaozhou, formed an island team and gradually incorporated some maritime activity organizations to form a powerful fleet. He specialized in killing corrupt officials in coastal areas such as Guangdong and Fujian, and sometimes also made a living by plundering. In the second year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1574), Lin Feng led 62 warships and more than 4,000 navy and army troops from Taiwan to the Philippines, uniting the local people to expel the Spanish colonists and open up overseas trade bases. The fleet sailed for two days in a hurry and reached the border of Luzon, where they immediately captured Miyan. The Spanish defender Sasheluo escaped in his boat. The fleet took advantage of the victory and advanced towards Manila. The troops were very fast, so Lin Feng immediately ordered the vanguard to lead 600 elite troops to attack Manila at night. Unexpectedly, the weather suddenly changed at night, with heavy winds and rain, huge waves like mountains, half of the ship sank, and more than 200 people were lost. At the same time, it was difficult to sail due to darkness, and they boarded at the wrong place. By the time they arrived in Manila, it was already broad daylight, and the Spaniards were ready. Regardless of fatigue, the vanguard troops attacked bravely, broke into the Spanish headquarters, killed the commander-in-chief Gaudi, and then directly attacked the Governor's Palace. Governor Le Bisari personally supervised more than a hundred guards and the Westerners in the city to defend the city, and the two sides were in a stalemate. Due to the continuous bumps and battles, the vanguard gradually lost its physical strength and had to withdraw.
After two days of rest, Lin Feng sent another 1,500 people to attack the city. There are fortifications in the city to rely on, and it is difficult to win with desperate resistance. The attacking troops had to charge with arrows and artillery fire, so they suffered heavy casualties. Although a team rushed into the city, they all died heroically because they were outnumbered. By the time Lin Feng sent 500 additional reinforcements, it was difficult to organize an effective attack. Due to the weather and terrain, the two attacks on Manila ended in failure, but Lin Feng was not discouraged and led his troops to retreat to Hawksbill Harbor and established the capital in Pangasinan. Within a few months, he led his troops to build a residence, a walled city, a pagoda, fortifications and many forts, preparing to fight against the Spanish colonists. Lin Feng was crowned king and welcomed and supported by the local natives.
When the Spaniards saw Lin Feng building a city and establishing a country, they regarded him as a thorn in their side. After a period of preparation, the governor-general in the Philippines, Le Bisali, mobilized more than 6,000 fleet troops. In March of the third year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1575), he collaborated with the Ming army in Chaozhou and Wang Gao, the commander-in-chief, to jointly encircle and suppress Lin Feng. Lin Feng led the crowd to fight, and the battle was fierce and lasted for more than four months. There was a continuous flow of Western soldiers and ordnance, but Lin Feng fought alone, with no supply of food or equipment. Under attack from the Chinese and Spanish fleets, Lin Feng bravely outmaneuvered others and cleverly broke through the encirclement overnight on August 4. He led more than 40 ships to break through and return to Taiwan.
After Lin Feng returned to Taiwan, he returned to Chaozhou, where he frequented Zhelin, Jinghai, and Jieshi. The number of ships increased to more than 150, and his power was restored. Later, due to strategic differences within the team, Cai De, Li Ruiqi, and Chen Mutong went to Chaoyang to be cared for. Lin Feng persisted in resisting the Ming Dynasty. Due to the limitations of the historical conditions at that time, it was difficult for an independent army to fight. Lin Feng had to "return to the west" without knowing where he ended up.
Zheng Zhilong: Escorting Chinese maritime merchants
Zheng Zhilong is the father of Zheng Chenggong. He once worked as a translator for the Dutch. However, after he became prosperous, he has been in a state of confrontation and competition with the Dutch. The environment he was in was the same as the dilemma faced by all pirate groups in the late Ming Dynasty: they had to deal with threats of oppression from both front and rear. On the one hand, there was the military and economic competition from foreign Western colonists, and behind the scenes, they had to deal with the military attacks of their own country's government. They were attacked on both sides.
During the Tianqi period, after the Zheng Group established a base in Taiwan, it wanted to have a base directly on the coast of the mainland to develop trade. The Zheng family pirates repeatedly attacked the Ming army on the coast of Fujian, raided the Ming army navy in Jinxia, and even raised flags in Tong'an to recruit troops, recruiting thousands of people within a few days. In the Ming Dynasty, Fujian officials had no choice but to think of the trick of "using barbarians to control thieves". Zhu Yifeng, the governor of Fujian, conspired to collude with the Dutch to "attack the bandits with barbarians" and eliminate Zheng Zhilong's maritime power.
In the seventh year of the Apocalypse (1627), the policy of "using barbarians to control thieves" presided over by the governor Yu Zigao began to be implemented. Zheng Zhilong was very angry about the collusion between the government and barbarians and fought back mercilessly, dispatching "fire ships" to attack the Dutch fleet. Commander Holland Waite fled the battle and led two warships to escape back to Batavia without firing a single shot. In a naval battle between the two sides, Zheng Zhilong burned the Dutch speedboat Owerk and captured the Sicappe and four other ships. In this naval battle, the Dutch colonists suffered a disastrous defeat and "had to retreat." The Zheng family pirates even set fire to all the ships of the Mingjinxia Navy, which "shocked the whole of Fujian." At this point, the Fujian authorities of the Ming Dynasty were completely helpless against Zheng, and had no choice but to recruit Zheng Zhilong. From then on, Zheng Zhilong controlled the sea on the Fujian side of the Taiwan Strait. Dutch ships did not dare to approach the Fujian coast and would be intercepted as soon as they appeared. All the people and ships belonged to Zheng Zhilong. The Ming Dynasty navy even retreated into the port.
As a shrewd businessman and pirate, Zheng Zhilong clearly understood his situation; under attack from both sides of the Ming army and Westerners, his independent maritime kingdom would not last long. After all, ships had to dock to replenish supplies and trade had to have a trading port; and due to repeated troubles by the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers, after Taiwan was occupied by the Dutch, the Zheng Family Group has been unable to guarantee the stability of its port base, and will surely be eliminated in the long run.
In September of the first year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1628), Zheng Zhilong accepted the appeasement of Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian in the Ming Dynasty. From then on, Zheng Zhilong had a solid base on the mainland, avoiding the threats and attacks from the officers and soldiers behind him, allowing him to concentrate on dealing with the Dutch fleet and the pirate groups that colluded with it. He calmly ran his maritime business and won several battles in succession. Backed by the vast inland, Zheng Zhilong gradually turned the southeastern coast into the territory of the Zheng family. In 1633, with the support of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong fought a decisive battle with the Dutch fleet at Liaoluo Bay in Kinmen and defeated the Dutch fleet. After this battle, "The Dutch Governor in Taiwan's efforts to open the way to the mainland by force failed, and the Dutch withdrew from the Fujian coast."
The victory in Kinmen enabled Zheng Zhilong to be promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of Fujian by the Ming Dynasty and become the commander-in-chief of the Fujian Navy. The Ming Dynasty court was trapped in the chaos of "rogue bandits" and "Northern pirates" and no longer had the strength to interfere with the southeastern coast. From then on, Zheng Zhilong, one of the leaders of overseas Chinese businessmen, was also the leader of the Fujian Navy. For the first time, Chinese businessmen had a powerful military force to serve business development.
