The "ghost" of the pre-Qin period is not the ghost in our modern sense! In ancient times, crocodiles were neither dragons nor jiaos (蛟). A glance at oracle bone inscriptions reveals the different characters. In ancient times, crocodiles were called "tuo" (鼍). Furthermore, ancient China not only had Yangtze alligators, but also numerous saltwater crocodiles and Malayan crocodiles, as can be found in ancient texts.
Keep it up, author! I'll support you by watching your videos |・ω・`)
Establish a centralized system, where the emperor holds both divine and royal power; otherwise, a tribal alliance system is a recipe for disaster!
Do you know why historical fiction isn't popular anymore? It's because it contains too much wish-fulfillment, featuring all sorts of futuristic technologies and systems.
These people publicly proclaimed themselves as the Shang emperors... Wouldn't that invite an attack from the Zhou? And with such a valuable commodity as sugar being promoted by the Zhou, wouldn't they be curious about its origin? Wouldn't they try to seize such a precious commodity? It's far too ostentatious.
The subject matter is very novel, so I've added it to my favorites. But has the author really thought this through? Jiangnan is a fertile and habitable land that the ancient Chinese people developed over thousands of years. Is the author planning to have the protagonist complete a journey that took thousands of years in just over a decade?
It seems that historical writing often projects modern people's nationalistic consciousness onto ancient people.
Military training is a suggestion, but the protagonist should accept it. Honestly, in an era before Sun Tzu's Art of War and even large-scale infantry formations were invented, if the protagonist trains his troops to use spear formations, basically eight hundred troops could conquer the entire Great Zhou.
That's absolutely outrageous—to implement universal compulsory education more than a thousand years BC!
Seeing the title "King" and the ridiculous name of the country, I lost interest in watching any further.
