Great Ming: Beginning in the Waning Years of Hongwu

Please, please, can you update more frequently? I've already switched from being a piracy user to a legitimate one, and today I got a Silver-ranked character. I'm asking if you can manage ten updates in two days.

I wonder if the author will see this. I really like your work. I firmly believe that historical articles with warmth and empathy are the truly good articles. The history category has been neglected for a long time. The last time I read something that moved me so much was a book by Sanchi Xiaodao. I won't say anything more. Just do as you please. Convey what you want to say clearly, and I'll support you silently.

I'm really puzzled. As long as it's not malicious or mindless criticism, everyone is welcome to debate and discuss the content of the book. When did it become a situation where those who didn't pay, or those who read it for free, are not qualified to comment? Whether I paid for it or not, I've read it, and if I have any opinions or views, I'll state them clearly and logically.

After reading some comments, I think the author should focus on writing the Jingnan Rebellion well, since they've started writing from the 22nd year of the Hongwu reign. The Jingnan Rebellion is quite difficult to write, as historically only Zhu Di himself succeeded in it; it's a good subject.

Seeing character 33, the way she handled her family's mess was so frustrating, and she even created a persona of someone who can't handle relatives. If she can't handle them, why doesn't she just not write about her family?! It's not like a bunch of problems are insurmountable, why all the dragging and fuss?

This is a great book. It covers emotional intelligence, social intelligence, and intellectual intelligence. I read a book yesterday, and the book review section was full of praise, which lured me in. It's about a protagonist who assists Zhu Yuanzhang in his rebellion. He's always showing off, as if he couldn't succeed without the protagonist, Zhu Yuanzhang.

My personal suggestion, author, is that the protagonist's sister shouldn't marry Zhu Gaochi. Given the protagonist's family background, if she married Zhu Gaochi, she could only be a concubine. But the problem is, Zhu Gaochi's principal wife is no pushover. Plus, Zhu Gaochi's health isn't good. What if, after Zhu Gaochi dies, she supports the warlord Emperor Xuanzong, or her own nephew?

I should leave the Ming Dynasty and take a few thousand people overseas to develop our own power, especially in the late 14th century when overseas was practically a blue ocean. Not only were there few competitors, but we could also develop with the backing of a large country with a population of 60 million.

In the 22nd year of the Hongwu reign, the protagonist was 18 years old. In the 31st year of the Hongwu reign, the protagonist was 27 years old. In the 35th year of the Hongwu reign, the Fengtian Rebellion ended, and the protagonist was 31 years old. In the first year of the Yongle reign, the protagonist was 32 years old and was granted the title of Duke.
