There are so many self-proclaimed "Zhu family members" in these comments. A bunch of people are frantically bashing Li Zicheng, claiming he rebelled because he had nothing better to do. They say the only thing that could save the Han people during the late Ming Dynasty was the peasant army, and some even say the Ming Dynasty was better than Li Zicheng's army?
Countless people tried everything to prolong the life of the Zhu family dynasty, which was already utterly corrupt. Would the Zhu family, in their spirit, speak well of rebellious peasants? No. While claiming that the Manchus maliciously distorted facts and smeared the Ming Dynasty in the *History of Ming*, they simultaneously believed the Qing Dynasty's historical records on peasant uprisings.
Finally, they've stopped sucking up to Mo Ming's stinking boots, and even added some innovation. I've already invested; best wishes for the signing and completion.
The author over-glorifies Li Zicheng, portraying him as an idealized, virtuous figure, which has alienated some people. It was simply an era of competing to be the worst.
Dear readers, how did you discover this book?
The book's sales are rather dismal. I wonder how you all discovered it? Is there any way you could help promote it?
What kind of hidden dragon is Li Zicheng? He is just a first-class bandit with the same virtues as Huang Chao. He has been fighting for more than ten years and has no experience. He can never change.
Some Ming Dynasty enthusiasts grit their teeth at the mere mention of so-called "bandits," thinking, "Who told you to storm Beijing and force Emperor Chongzhen to his death?" This was the mindset of late Ming Dynasty scholar-officials. Instead of reflecting on their own actions, they blamed the Ming Dynasty's demise on the bandits, echoing the sentiment, "Why don't you just stay home and starve…
The Qing dynasty's revision of the History of the Ming dynasty, standing on the side of imperial power, vehemently smeared the rebel army. The claim that the breaching of the Yellow River and the opening of the Kaifeng water jars were all done by Ming officials was false.
Keep it up! There are very few accounts of peasant uprisings during the late Ming Dynasty, and even fewer with detailed research.
The Ming Dynasty was overthrown by homeless and starving peasants, and the Ming Dynasty was also fought against the Manchus, with peasants shedding their last drop of blood (Li Dingguo and Li Laiheng). For this reason alone, these unsung heroes should be forever remembered. —From a Bilibili user
