Prince Jingjiang of Southern Ming

The protagonist chosen by the author is too old. He is over 50 at the beginning, which is really unlikable. Although Liu Bang was over 50 years old when he started his career, it only took Liu Bang a few years from the time he raised his army to the time he conquered the world. It would be impossible for him to last 10 or 20 years at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Under normal circumstances, you, the protagonist, would not survive to conquer the world.

This book can be used directly as an outline, you know what I mean?

I can tolerate what others say about the flaws, like the protagonist being too old and the story being too historical, but I really can't stand this war drama. Any random chieftain can pull out 100,000 soldiers, and that's not counting civilian laborers. By this calculation, Yunnan and Guizhou could pull out a million soldiers. So Yunnan and Guizhou are the richest regions on Earth, and the chieftain system is the most advanced military system in the world.

As of chapter 194, the protagonist's nominally controlled area is close to 1.6 Million square kilometers, while the actual controlled area is about 1.5 Million square kilometers.

Save this first, then read it. 🤝🌹

The writing is excellent; it's instantly much more sophisticated than those who just copy poems.

Forgive past tax arrears? Are you crazy? It's precisely because the Ming Dynasty frequently forgave past tax arrears that the amount of tax arrears increased. Those who could afford to owe taxes weren't short of money, and those who were short of money couldn't afford to owe taxes.

This is so damn long-winded! Are you a novelist, or...? Or are you a historian writing history?

The book is a good book, well-written, with excellent writing and detailed historical materials. However, the military aspects are written like a storytelling or historical fiction. It doesn't just depict two generals fighting each other, but also shows a general suddenly leading tens of thousands of troops to the scene to kill people.

The protagonist is too cruel to Consort Zhao; his lustful behavior doesn't feel genuine, more like that of a sycophant. I don't expect the protagonist to be a figure like Zhu Yuanzhang, but at least like Cao Mengde (Cao Cao), always spouting nonsense about equality and free love. Let alone ancient times, even in modern times, there's no such thing as equality or free love.
