Back to the End of the Ming Dynasty with a Warehouse

During the Ming Dynasty, he ruled as king, seized princesses, frequented brothels to abduct the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai, fought the Manchus to seize Hailanzhu, bombarded Zheng Zhilong with warships, robbed pirates, and then plundered Japan, with Indians and such being just side projects. 😁

This is the dumbest book I've ever read. The protagonist isn't a college student; he doesn't know history. He's an uneducated guy from a remote mountain village who only encounters idiots and brainless fools. And then there's the cement and glass stuff—it's hilarious! It's like Jack Ma today, setting up a street stall or doing manual labor. Why? For money.

Why is it that in books about the Ming Dynasty, the protagonists never seize power and establish themselves as emperors? In other dynasties, there are also those who usurp the throne and become emperors, but I've never seen a single book about the Ming Dynasty where someone establishes themselves as emperor! They're all just officials who fight against the Ming! Does the Ming Dynasty have some special historical significance?

I'm starting a thread to correct errors. If any readers find typos, awkward sentences, or incorrect pronouns while reading, please point them out. Thank you all! 😁😁😁

It's alright, although the plot is a bit cliché. Keep it up, author! Persistence will surely bring rewards.

Just the fact that the protagonist (the main character) wants to wipe out these pig tails (the other characters) is worth a monthly pass. The greatest harm of the Qing Dynasty was its suppression of civilization. In order to maintain its rule, it opposed the progress of civilization and carried out numerous literary inquisitions. This was the most vicious and harmful thing.

Raise your hand if you're one of the guys who retired early after chapter 10!

Many authors of novels about the late Ming Dynasty don't know why the Ming Dynasty fell, or deliberately erase the Little Ice Age disaster; this book is an example of this. The primary reason for the numerous uprisings at the end of the Ming Dynasty was the drought in the north for over a decade. Official corruption was a secondary factor.

The author's description in Chapter 53 of ordering new recruits to kill prisoners clashed with my values, so I'm leaving. This reflects the old warlord style of indiscriminately killing prisoners, not the behavior of a modern, civilized army. Bandits are captured and killed without even interrogation, and then praised as "real men"—is this really acceptable?

After reading a few chapters, I think the protagonist is incredibly stupid. Forget about how heavy five thousand taels of silver is, the protagonist actually carries it around shopping and even tells others that he has more money than he can spend. How stupid does the protagonist have to be to do that?
