I’m No Yellow Turban Rebel in the Three Kingdoms

Finally found a novel that's both educational and realistic. Everyone who travels back to the Three Kingdoms period is either fighting or on their way to a war. They're either recruiting military generals or civil officials, never thinking about the lives of the working class, what their needs were, or how they managed to feed them. No dynasty could solve the problem of feeding the working class. Only the People's Republic of China accomplished this.

The literacy rate among Red Army soldiers was as high as 60%-70%. They could write simple letters, articles, slogans, and leaflets, which was much higher than the average literacy level of ordinary troops in the White areas.

The protagonist has to take the path of a grassroots uprising, which is not easy, really not easy! Especially in the late Eastern Han Dynasty where background matters! The main problem is that their reputation is currently hidden, making them similar to ordinary grassroots Yellow Turban rebels! If the difficulty were real, they would be extremely difficult to defeat!

I think we should change the title to something like "The Time Traveler's Battle Against the Han Dynasty's Mandate of Heaven." How about that? A white lotus saintly time traveler, proficient in all kinds of technology, returns to the Three Kingdoms period to battle the Han Dynasty, a nation blessed with divine mandate, boundless morale, and limitless military strength.

If the protagonist weren't a chosen one, even a transmigrator wouldn't survive more than three chapters. He's worse than Wang Mang. First, the protagonist's attitude towards the aristocratic class, regardless of their reputation, is one of complete condemnation. It's fair to say that the protagonist's actions essentially abandon all the elites of the time.

When everyone around you thinks you're wrong, you are wrong, even if you're right. In the feudal society of over a thousand years ago, someone like the protagonist probably wouldn't have lived long. Many established dynasties but dared not become emperors. Do you think you can escape it just because you don't want to be emperor?

Speechless 😒 If the author knows nothing about politics, they shouldn't write anything at all; just skip it. It's full of loopholes. What about abolishing Confucianism and exclusively promoting Mohism? Are you trying to make me laugh? You say Confucianism is not suitable for the times, but what about Mohism? What does Mohism have to do with the industrial age?

That's utter nonsense. How can research continue without a revolution in thought and science, relying solely on machines?

The rattan armor soldiers all know how they came to have such good days, and they also know how hard the Yellow Turban Army outside is suffering. Now they are protecting their homeland. The active-duty soldiers of the rattan armor army, based on their age, were either Yellow Turban rebels or disaster victims. They knew what life was like in the past and how hard-won their current life was.

It's a very realistic and quite good novel. It's just that the later parts are really silly; it's like they're deliberately dragging out the pace just to focus on the farming scenes. Later on, they're short of food! I have to ask you: where are your sweet potatoes and potatoes? We've been farming for five years, and you're telling me the sweet potatoes and potatoes are gone?
