I Am Going to Be Emperor

Establishing the capital in Nanjing has numerous drawbacks. Aside from other factors, the lack of control over the north alone is enough to lead to the downfall of a dynasty. Throughout history, the demise of dynasties has almost always begun in the north. Secondly, a strong commercial atmosphere can corrupt the entire system; look at Shanghai today.

Taking over Huguang was the right move. The Ming Dynasty had virtually no elite troops in the south, but the south was incredibly wealthy. They could then defend the north and attack the south, watching the north ravage the war while developing industry in the rear. If all else failed, they could always invade Sichuan.

It feels like the main character only knows how to launch direct, forceful attacks, and he's always rushing around. It feels like the Ming Dynasty is portrayed as too powerful; with that mobilization capacity, they could have wiped out eight Qing dynasties. They can still fight like this? The protagonist seems like a complete brute. Oh well.

I was wondering why I was reminded of the book "The Mountain Emperor" while I was reading it; turns out it's a new book.

After the Chu army occupies Nanjing and controls the Jianghuai region, send one or two main forces south to attack Jiangxi and Guangdong. Then send two or three more... The main division was assigned to defend the Jianghuai region. I believe that after occupying the Jianghuai region, pacifying Fujian and Guangdong, if not by mere command, should be relatively easy.

Currently, the map of the protagonist's controlled area. Henan. Huguang (Hubei and Hunan provinces) Jiangxi. Southern Zhili. Zhejiang. Guangdong. Guangxi. Fujian. Shandong. Beizhili.

I wonder if the author has even read the book themselves. The beginning was good, but it got really bad halfway through. Two major problems: First, the book is just constant fighting, nothing else. A book can't be written like that. Second, it only focuses on the protagonist and his territory; what about the other characters' storylines?

This book is almost finished. My next book is a low-martial arts world war story, where the protagonist conquers the world and then researches genes and technology for immortality. I don't have the writing skills myself, so I'd love to see the author write this type of book. It seems rare to find books like this on the market, and it should be a hit.

The author should change the country's name immediately! "Chu" sounds awful. It's unbearable to look at; I can't stand it anymore.

Isn't it too hasty to strictly prohibit concubinage? Without the impact of external ideas, is it so easy to change things? Other reforms are supposed to be done gradually, but this is something that's been cut off with a single stroke?
