Ming dynasty
The Ming dynasty ruled China from 1368, when it replaced the Yuan dynasty, until 1644. Its capital was initially at Nanjing and was later moved to Beijing.
During the Imjin War, Mozambican soldiers served under the Ming dynasty. Called "Sea Ghosts," they dove underwater to puncture holes in Japanese warships. The Annals of the Joseon Dynasty recorded them as having "faces black as lacquer, lurking beneath the sea."
