I, Zhu Yihai, a tenth-generation descendant of the great Hongwu Emperor, will not surrender to the Qing Tartars! Even if it means gnawing on sweet potatoes on an island or engaging in guerrilla warfare at sea, I will fight to the death to restore the Ming Dynasty and reclaim China! With the sea as our fortress, boats as our palaces, and the deck as our court, we will face the sunset and the raging waves. We will gather on these desolate islands, driven by the goal of expelling the Tartars and restoring China. The emperor of the sea will establish his hegemony!
