Let's explain why the Manchus came to power.
Many people believe that the Manchus gained power through mindless killing. Actually, no, militarily they were actively recruiting surrendered Ming soldiers. The main force consisted of surrendered Ming soldiers, with the Eight Banners as military supervisors. In terms of governance, the Qing dynasty vigorously recruited former Ming officials who had surrendered.
Several suggestions regarding future strategic policies
Military attache First, it is crucial to avoid allowing military officers to seize power. A military government ruled by soldiers is the most foolish thing to do. A specific example is the late Tang Dynasty, where the emperor was deposed and installed by the military governor and the eunuch in charge of the army.
Actually, the most suitable book for survival and great undertakings in the late Ming Dynasty was the "Militia Training Manual" from the 1960s and 70s. It truly was a divine book, encompassing everything from steelmaking and iron smelting to gun manufacturing, from ideological education to medical care, from organizational structure to tactical guidance! Moreover, most of it consisted of simple, locally adapted methods! It's just not easy to find.
Here are a few useful tech trees (updated regularly).
Agricultural technology tree 1. Drought-resistant crops Millet, also known as foxtail millet in ancient times, is one of the oldest crops grown by the Han Chinese and is also one of the most drought-resistant grains in the world. It consists of yellow grains (much smaller than rice grains).
To be honest, there can be no such thing as tax exemption in this world. In ancient times, civil officials could be exempt from taxes. If you had the power to force officials and scholars to pay taxes, they couldn't do anything about it since they didn't have an army. At most, they could only support others to rebel. But if you had absolute power, you could easily quell a rebellion.
First of all, I personally feel that the author's rebellious ideology is fundamentally flawed! The peasant-worker ideology of the Ming Dynasty was utterly useless. Ninety percent of the social resources of the Ming Dynasty were controlled by the gentry, officials, and merchants, and the vast resources of the countryside were entirely in the hands of the gentry.
The previous chapters were about testing poison.
First, the protagonist's transformation from a law-abiding modern person into a butcher after time-traveling is bound to deter some viewers. Secondly, the protagonist's behavior and actions in the first few chapters will definitely deter some readers. Third, the writing style is relatively soft, not a hard-hitting historical web novel, which will deter some readers.
Character Building Please provide details about the characters, their backgrounds, and their strengths. I will make appropriate arrangements... Of course, the death rate for supporting characters in this book is very high. Female characters are also acceptable.
The protagonist's methods struck me as somewhat problematic. Although he claims to be following the worker-peasant path, the protagonist gives me a strange feeling. He bestows women upon his subordinates and has multiple wives and concubines. While he claims to be upholding the worker-peasant banner, his platform reminds me of the Great Shun and Taiping Heavenly Kingdoms.
