Building the Great Ming the Old-Fashioned Way

I utterly despise this idea of ​​not wanting to be emperor; it's extremely discouraging. Especially for the protagonist in such an awkward position—it's either advance or die. Ultimately, in the early years of the Tianshun and Chenghua reigns, the Ming Dynasty was a wrecked ship.

The summaries at the end of middle school history lessons already stated that the Self-Strengthening Movement failed; importing technology could not save China; institutional reform was the most important thing. Reform inevitably involves touching vested interests and requires the use of force.

I've been holding back for three days and only managed one chapter. Don't let me find you.

It existed around the Song Dynasty, but it wasn't associated with blowing. The protagonist would go to the street and grab two artisans who blew sugar figurines and sculpted sheepskin rafts, coordinating one to blow the sugar and the other to shape the rafts.

I remember historically, the throne was originally intended to pass to Zhu Jianshen, but Zhu Qizhen seized the throne and reigned for several years. Why do so many people dislike or reject Jingtai? I think Jingtai was far more capable than Zhu Qizhen; Zhu Qizhen was utterly incompetent.

The construction of the Jingguan (a mound of corpses), the building of the Jingguan, and the fact that the Crown Prince's great victory would bring him the loyalty of the military forces would inevitably make him a thorn in the side of the "Big Heads" (a term referring to the powerful and influential figures associated with the emperors).

"Imperial Uncle" refers to the (current) emperor's uncle, which can be a biological uncle, a cousin, or a paternal uncle. The protagonist is not yet the emperor; Emperor Jingtai is. Emperor Jingtai is the emperor, not an imperial uncle. The word "Emperor" cannot be added arbitrarily.

I felt honored to see that the author mentioned my previous post in the comments section, but I was also worried that my impulsive comments might have misled the author, so I quickly checked the source materials and found that there were quite a few errors in the information I provided. Below are the relevant materials and sources.

I don't know what to say. The beginning was watchable, and I could tolerate the conspiracy theory about Tumu Fortress, but I just couldn't stand it when the fighting started! What were you thinking? The Crown Prince's border patrol only involved infantry, with no cavalry?! What were you thinking?

When will we send the "Gatekeeper Emperor" a cup of poisoned wine? 😅Throughout thousands of years of history, the "Gatekeeper Emperor" has consistently ranked among the most hated emperors.
