Reviving the New Ming

Flintlock muskets were sold so casually, and there were even cannons; it's unbelievable. Steel and weapons are the biggest advantage of time travelers; without them, could you have defeated the Qing Dynasty? This is mindless nonsense.

This book deliberately lowers the protagonist's intelligence to increase difficulty and plot. With that level of intelligence, he would have been killed long ago in ancient times.

Treating the ancients like fools makes the protagonist a fool... Do you know that the Qing Dynasty disliked firearms because of their desire to kill? That was after the country was at peace; Han Chinese would have risen to prominence after researching firearms.

I don't understand. Why not just establish himself independently? Why fawn over the Zhu family and even voluntarily hand over half of the oil well profits to Yongli? Why would a fleeing emperor in Guangxi accept assets from so far away in Shaanxi? I ​​lost interest just looking at the catalog.

The author's writing is far too arbitrary. They only controlled two prefectures before starting to subcontract oil fields, and later even opened up the steel mills. I support opening up to private enterprises, but at least unify China, or even just control half the country.

I'm baffled. Why would time travelers try to save a dynasty at its end? How can you save a dynasty rotten to the core? Only by tearing it down and rebuilding! Okay! You're so great, you tear it down and rebuild, but the house isn't yours, it belongs to someone else! That's outrageous! Everyone's had the experience of renting a house, right? Aren't you afraid of being kicked out by the landlord?

The title alone is enough to deter many readers, and the synopsis makes them not even want to read it. First, the title gleanes two pieces of information: the protagonist is a Ming dynasty official, and the second, the protagonist is a Ming official in the late Ming period. This is completely unnecessary.

Are there really that many people who survived Chapter 7? Leaving aside the absurd plot points at the beginning, they robbed Li Zicheng's grain convoy and then let the people go... With such a small force, any twenty or thirty soldiers could have easily killed them, but they all acted like nothing happened. It's too cruel.

Even die-hard, naive fans of the show couldn't stand it and wrote articles criticizing it. The author really needs to improve.

The author is a seasoned sycophant; could he be a descendant of the Zhu family or someone who paid him to write this?
