The Maritime Chronicles of Yin: Crossing the Ocean

At the Battle of Muye, the Yin-Shang did not fall. King Wu Ding and Queen Fu Hao had预先 left an escape route for the Shang people. On the eve of the kingdom's fall, King Di Xin of Zhou handed the Xuan Niao jade token and the bronze troop-mobilization tally to Fu Yu, heir of the fleet. Over a hundred ships and thousands of clansmen, the Three Waters Fleet set sail, beginning an ancient transoceanic voyage. Across ten thousand li of surging waves, the ancient ships sailed far, navigating by stars, calculating distances, battling hurricanes, sea worms that devoured hulls, and gales that split sails; the fleet scattered and painfully regrouped on the vast ocean. Pursuers trailed behind, sea plagues raged, conservative nobles harbored dissenting ambitions, and remnant soldiers bore the resentment of a broken homeland. The ancestors set foot on a new continent, starting from a camp, reclaiming wasteland, smelting copper and casting tools, building a state with fields, household registration, penal law, and ancestral temples, introducing jade millet, and contending with indigenous tribes. A pre-Qin alternate-history, maritime state-building epic. A group portrait of ancient clans. The Yin-Shang remnants migrate across the ocean to survive, ancient shipbuilding, infrastructure and farming, civilizational evolution, state reconstruction, abolishing human sacrifice in the savage wilderness, witnessing the brilliance of humanity. This book is based on archaeological discoveries and unearthed remains, using engineering research to deduce the Yin people's eastward crossing to the Americas, a grand vision of the ancestors founding a state overseas. Not real history.
