Back to the Early Ming Dynasty as a Prince

Take a look at this before deciding whether to read it or not. My decision to abandon the book wasn't just about Qin Shi Huang; I really couldn't agree with the author's examples in this chapter. I instantly lost all sense of immersion. If an emperor isn't domineering, he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.

The flaws of time-travel novels set in ancient times: 1. Women can serve in the military. 2. Completely abolish the kneeling etiquette in the military. 3. Replace military salutes with regular salutes, and then shout the slogan "Serve the people!" 4. Replace the army's armor with camouflage uniforms or modern European military uniforms. 5. Promote equality

In ancient times, a maid's status and value were no higher than an expensive dress. Even if she were beaten to death or maimed, the authorities wouldn't care. Yet this girl dared to give the protagonist attitude and disrespect her former master. If such a person actually existed in ancient times, she would either be dead or sold into a brothel.

In Chapter 17, the Chang family sent a maidservant who turned out to be a strategist. The readers in the comments section are very annoyed.

Reading the author's words felt like blaming the cook for their own treachery. They claim history clearly records Qin Shi Huang's tyranny. Every Chinese person knows history is written by the victors. Modern accounts of history are based on mere textual research. Do you think you survived the Qin Dynasty and witnessed it firsthand? History is for people to read, not for you to judge. You have no right to. I'm abandoning the book.

After reading this book, you'll understand why the Ming Dynasty is so difficult to write about. Because the Ming Dynasty was too advanced, its technology and national structure were in the early post-medieval stage of firearms, cold weapons had not yet disappeared, Western culture had been introduced, and the imperial system was unstable.

"The progressive role of Qin Shi Huang in the historical development process should be affirmed, but after unification, he lost his drive, became complacent, indulged in pleasure, sought immortality, built palaces, cruelly oppressed others, and wandered around, wasting his time in a very boring way.
