The Ming Dynasty’s New Mandate

The Ming History portrays Zhu Yuanzhang as incredibly ugly, but it fails to consider that he was merely a low-ranking officer, equivalent to a squad leader in modern-day military. If he were ugly, why would Guo Zixing marry his daughter to him? He wasn't some high-ranking general on the frontier who needed to be courted. Clearly, Zhu Yuanzhang attracted Empress Ma.

Another book trying to revive the late Ming dynasty. I'm speechless. They still think there's any hope for the Ming dynasty at the end of its reign.

I hope to finish writing it, even if it's just an internal version. Do you have a group? This time-travel story wouldn't be interesting unless the protagonist transmigrates into the body of an emperor.

Having read the free portion, it seems illogical that even with the protagonist's special abilities, all the officials want to kill him. Instead of thinking about escape, he foolishly goes to fight. Modern thinking dictates running away first, building up strength to fight back later. You're not from ancient times; you don't have that kind of blind loyalty.

Even in the seventeenth year of the Chongzhen Emperor's reign, it would be easy to save the situation; all one needs to do is escape to the south. Remove the traitors and civil officials, and replace them with loyal ministers like Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji. Leading hundreds of thousands of troops to defend the south would be no problem. There's plenty of silver; just reply to the lower levels.

The late Ming Dynasty was beyond saving! Go and see how rotten it was! If you think your blood pressure is too low, go and read the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty. I don't believe that after reading this history you can still think about saving the Ming Dynasty! In a time-travel novel, the protagonist travels to the Ming Dynasty just to uphold the feudal system?

The story begins in the twelfth year of the Chongzhen Emperor's reign, with me as a lowly officer in Ningyuan. I timidly ask: in this time and place, is it even possible to save the Ming Dynasty? The entire Liaodong region is either filled with selfish warlords who relentlessly betray their allies, or with surrender factions eager to join the Manchu banners!

Let's put it this way: the late Ming Dynasty was rotten to the core, beyond saving. The author portrayed it too favorably; according to historical records, even if the protagonist achieved great merit, it might not necessarily have been him...

Even a god couldn't save the late Ming Dynasty; it was utterly rotten. Officials, gentry, landlords, noble families, and princes had already squandered all the land. How could it be saved? Only by thoroughly purging this rotten system from top to bottom. The Later Jin dynasty entered the Central Plains and established a new dynasty because Li Zicheng and his forces had already slaughtered most of the Ming, and the Qing dynasty itself had also been ruthless in its killings.

@Reader Where can I support the previous book?
