Bright Left

From the moment "The Wealth of Nations" was written, this book became unreadable. You can use "The Wealth of Nations" to guide the protagonist's actions, but I can't accept him showing off in front of the great Confucian scholars of the Donglin Party. They may not be qualified politicians, but they are definitely qualified politicians and qualified scholars. Before you prove yourself with facts, this kind of plot is extremely poisonous!

Zuo Jun was nothing more than a collection of scoundrels. Even Zuo Liangyu, while alive, struggled to maintain full control over his troops, let alone Zuo Menggeng. If Zuo Menggeng had chosen to march south to Huguang and Jiangxi in an attempt to establish a separatist regime, the army would inevitably have disintegrated.

By this point in time, Zuo Liangyu's character in this book had basically rotted away. To consider such a person as a father is bad luck. It would be better to be Hong's son. At least Hong truly had no other choice; he had done everything he could before losing. He was simply afraid of death. The left side doesn't even do their job properly in the military; their minds are full of shirking their duties and slacking off.

Reading the latest chapter, all I can say is that the author is inhuman. After over a decade of development, a million-strong army, and a plethora of civil and military officials, they could have easily swept through the land. Instead, they chose to watch as the Central Plains suffered, the Yellow River changed course, and the lives of ordinary people were reduced to mere scraps, leaving nine out…

Let's go back to writing entertainment articles; you can't control history, you dog 🐶 (just kidding)

I thought Zuo Yuliang, from the late Ming Dynasty, was already a powerful warlord who controlled his army, replaced the Ming Dynasty, defeated the Manchus, and became the ruler of the country. But instead, he starts out as a good guy who falls in love, and he's just a second-generation nobody who's been dismissed from his post.

The author is suspected of whitewashing the Donglin Party, shifting all the blame onto the emperor, telling everyone he wants to rebel, and forcibly giving off an aura of intellectual depravity.

The White Lotus Sect storyline in Dengzhou is ridiculous. The protagonist builds guns and cannons, but he doesn't use them himself or allow his scouts to carry them out. Then he leads a dozen or so men to carry out assassinations. Is this some kind of joke? He has over 10,000 soldiers, and he's just playing around?

The biggest flaw is that the protagonist initially gains favor and support simply by uttering a few modern words opposing imperial power to the Donglin Party leaders—it's too toxic.

To be honest, Zuo Menggeng alone could reduce the readership by a third! Just like I would never read about Zhao Gou, who was afraid of water when it came to grenades! The Zuo family is rotten, and Wanyan Gou is a rotten person too.
