Very creative, well written!
The description of the steam engine used on the treasure ships is excellent, correcting the historical revisions of the Qing Dynasty. It's just that the Qing Dynasty wasn't destroyed until almost 700 chapters in, which is too slow.
It's so satisfying to watch as the big fish behind the mysterious demise of the late Ming Dynasty are unearthed one by one, and major cases are uncovered one after another. Another book claims that electromagnetic induction was an achievement of ancient Chinese people, that the Chinese, during the Yongle Emperor's reign, discovered the New World, and that the so-called Renaissance was all just copying. How interesting!
This is a novel that is realistic and objective, vividly depicting the characters of that era, and offering ample opportunities to explore the stories of ordinary people from multiple perspectives. It revolves around the narratives of the Manchu peasant army and minor officials during the Ming Dynasty.
Well written, but to add a point, in the Ming Dynasty, superiors and subordinates didn't use the terms "master" or "slave." These are terms used only in the Qing Dynasty's slave system. When Ming Dynasty officials went to court, except for very important formal court assemblies, they didn't kneel or bow. They basically just cupped their hands and bowed.
Among films set in the late Ming Dynasty, this one has a well-conceived plot and is worth watching. It avoids cluttered systems; you have to rely entirely on your own efforts to forge the spirit of the Han people.
Qin laws, Han envoys, Tang poetry, Song lyrics, Yuan drama, Ming novels, and Qing treaties—this is why Chinese people hate the Manchu Qing dynasty. Although the novel is fictional, it's truly satisfying!
It's really good, why is the rating so low?
To each their own, I think it's fine!
Why is this book rated so low? It shouldn't be like this.
