The Ruthless Emperor of the Late Ming: Forcing the Chongzhen Emperor to Abdicate from the Start

What's the point of rebellion? When Chongzhen first ascended the throne, things were alright; at least he had many loyal and powerful troops. Then, with a series of swift and decisive actions, he wiped out all those loyal soldiers, leaving him with nothing but the facade of imperial righteousness. Frankly, rebelling against him was incredibly easy, that's for sure. And then what?

I have a lump of phlegm stuck in my throat and I don't know how to spit it out! An ordinary college student transmigrates into the body of Zhu Cilang in the 17th year of the Chongzhen Emperor's reign and saves the Ming Dynasty with his wild imagination...

The author's enjoyment is indulging in paper money in the late Ming Dynasty. Do you think that just because modern people accept paper money, ancient people would accept it? Forcibly promoting paper money in an era that valued precious metals is misguided. The technology of the late Ming Dynasty was sufficient to mint silver coins.

The protagonist has been traveling for a year and only managed to win over a few palace maids, eunuchs, and a few dozen burly generals. Isn't that a bit pathetic? Time is already so tight. In fact, as the crown prince, he should have been able to gather his own civil and military staff within a year, right?

This is a good pace; the late Ming dynasty crown prince should have acted swiftly and decisively. Some obscure books are still focused on internal power struggles.

Chapter 13, Ningwu Pass... I don't even know what to say. The Shun army suffered 150,000 deaths. If Li Zicheng's army could survive 150,000 deaths, he would have already handed over the Manchus at Shanhaiguan Pass. Are you writing about the wars of the Ming Dynasty? Are you sure you're not writing about Stalingrad? Historically, it only took Li Zicheng two days to break through Ningwu Pass.

Why choose Chen Yuanyuan? I don't quite understand. There are so many ways to suppress Wu Sangui, why resort to this? I was enjoying the story, but this is terrible news right after it was released. I suggest the author revise it. With so many people in the country, couldn't they find someone more beautiful than Chen Yuanyuan? I just can't comprehend it.

I've read many novels about the late Ming Dynasty on Qidian.com. However, I gave up on them all halfway through because I found them all cringeworthy.

Nine Palaces Formation? Ancient times did have formations, but the simpler and more practical they were, the better. Do you think this is some kind of Three Kingdoms or Water Margin?

Hundreds of thousands of people are involved in these games; even video games don't have such exaggerated numbers. The Jiannu (a military unit) comprised 600 Niru (military units) of the Manchu, Mongol, and Han Eight Banners, totaling just over 30,000 soldiers and 110,000 regular soldiers. The bandits, claiming a million men, only had about 60,000 veterans. If Wu Sangui had had 20,000 cavalry, he wouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat at Songjin.
