The Beggar Emperor of the Late Ming

If the protagonist could also start as a beggar and build a dynasty, later dynasties would certainly strive to solve the beggar problem. 🤭

In my opinion, the highlight of this book is the excellent writing about Madam Li. Within just a few dozen pages, her character is vividly portrayed. Her maternal love is evident in her entrusting her daughter to the protagonist to save her own life, and later, for her daughter's better future, she is forced to encourage the protagonist to leave Li Xianzhong.

Update, please update soon! It's so damn satisfying to read, it's so good, so incredibly good! Hurry up and devour that Madam Li! That way she'll wholeheartedly assist the male lead in his quest for supremacy.

Listen to me, brother, never write about forming a female cavalry. It's simply unrealistic. In those days, even men weren't getting enough to eat. Do you think a woman could even lift a sword? Even if you could recover, wouldn't it be better to feed a man? Besides, have you considered how you would manage a large female army camp without proper logistics? What would happen if the women had their periods? So don't even think about it; it's unrealistic!

The book was doomed when the steam engine was invented. Westerners, with their theoretical foundation, spent a century perfecting it, requiring a complete industrial system for technical support. How could they expect a bunch of illiterate, struggling people to develop a steam engine?

Are cavalrymen all thin and light, giving them an advantage in combat? That doesn't make sense; historically famous cavalrymen were all physically robust—Polish cavalry, Cossack cavalry, Hungarian hussars.

Why is the book titled "The Beggar Emperor"? I was a beggar for a few days. Those who haven't read the book might think the protagonist leads the Beggars' Sect to conquer the world. As a result, a group of child soldiers

Speechless. Is it to highlight the female lead's role by having to advise the protagonist on every decision he makes? The key point is that she is the wife of a wealthy merchant, raising a daughter and relying on the protagonist to establish herself among ruthless rebels. Just to portray the wealthy businessman's wife as intelligent? To highlight the protagonist's cerebral palsy?

After reading less than 30 chapters, you think you can compare to Zhu Yuanzhang? Others could rise from beggars to riches, but you can? Judging from the protagonist's arrogant behavior, I thought Zhang Xianzhong, the Eighth Prince, was his subordinate. If you really want to write something similar to Zhu Yuanzhang, first look at how Zhu Yuanzhang endured things. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even have the protagonist's cheat codes.

I once read a book, also from the late Ming Dynasty. It described how 1,000 muskets firing simultaneously at thousands of people from a distance of 100 meters could only kill three or four people, which is simply insulting to intelligence.
