Write a descriptive and concise alternate history scenario in the form of a lengthy history book chapter in which Fukumatsu, alledged Japanese prince turned legendary Ming loyalist general who would become famous for his prowess in battle against the Manchu armies during the Manchu conquest of China in the 17th century under the name Zhu Chenggong/“Zheng Chenggong”/īⁿ Sêng-kong aka Koxinga, never goes to China to visit his father Zheng Zhilong in the Fujian province of Ming China when he is seven due to the breakdown in communications between the Chinese Empire and the Tokugawa shogunate thanks to a successful conquest of the Korean peninsula in the Imjin War of 1592-1598 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s samurai armies, which allowed the Japanese at the time to capture Beijing and Nanking and force the Ming dynasty to an armistice that effectively made the Joeson Kingdom governing the Korean peninsula before Hideyoshi’s invasion, ruled by the Yi dynasty as its royal family, an illegitimate state and recognizing the Japanese shogunate as the legitimate ruler of the Korean peninsula by right of conquest.


He [Fukumatsu] remains in his hometown of Hirado in the Hizen Province of feudal Japan, where he continues to be raised by his mother, Princess Tagawa Matsu, a descendant of the Japanese imperial family, the House of Yamato through Taira no Shigemori and Tagawa Yazayemon, in relative peace and quiet, far away from the rest of the Japanese imperial family, and the tense situation on the Ming-Japan border.
