Great Ming: I Revealed My Transmigration, and Old Zhu Lost It

The self-righteous time traveler argues that while some of Zhu Yuanzhang's policies were limited by the era, they were largely correct at the time. This includes his anti-corruption campaign using violence to suppress violence. Don't forget that in the early Ming Dynasty, due to the centuries of weakness of the Song Dynasty and the century of brutal rule of the Yuan Dynasty, the cultural and…

Well, I'd like to correct the author on the issue of the Ming Dynasty's imperial family. While the Ming imperial family was indeed a malignant tumor, by the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty, they actually couldn't afford to pay so much. During the Jiajing era, the imperial family's actual salary was only one-third of the national income, accounting for about one-tenth of the national revenue.

The biggest flaw in this book, in my opinion, lies in its excessive length when it comes to revealing future events to the ancients. In one chapter, the main point is only stated in a single sentence, while the rest is filled with superfluous filler. Even that single sentence of main content is followed by a long explanation of other things, making for a rather unpleasant reading experience.

Forget about the filler content, what happened after chapter 250? Author, take a look at what you've written. The Tatar prince's surname is Bai? A minister of the Ming Dynasty, who dared to threaten the Ming Dynasty, which had destroyed the former Yuan Dynasty, in the court of a small country, and who was also an important minister of Zhu Yuanzhang, and most importantly, Zhu Yuanzhang was still…

The protagonist keeps emphasizing his fear of death and pain; such a person is easily manipulated by the emperor. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang was inherently cruel, exposing his weaknesses and waiting to die.

It seems like the character changes started with Baiyin, right? Not only did they end that part of the story with a weak ending, but the oil plot, which appeared dozens of chapters ago, was rewritten. The telescope was mentioned during the grenade incident, but later they claimed it was made by a craftsman from Husou, and they seemed quite surprised.

When I saw Chapter 208, "Zhu Yuanzhang Wants to Abolish the Embroidered Uniform Guard," I completely lost it. The reason? It'll lead to corruption? Isn't that idiotic? An emperor without his own intelligence network? Does he want to be like Emperor Chongzhen? And this is supposed to be Zhu Yuanzhang? Is this some kind of forced authorial idiocy? This personal bias is outrageous!

Honestly, no matter what, Hu was the founding prime minister! Isn't it a bit much to keep forcibly lowering his intelligence to highlight the protagonist's brilliance? The beginning was alright, but it's gotten a bit messy and chaotic now!

I saw the latest update, and as I watched, I felt a deep sense of unease. The protagonist first abused the Xiao Ri Zi delegation in every way, and now a female character, Bai Yin, has appeared. In a feudal dynasty, can a female barbarian treat a high-ranking nobleman like this? Although this is supposed to be a beginner's story, it shouldn't be so simplistic as to lack basic logic.

Abolishing the Embroidered Uniform Guard would render them useless. Restricting their power is like setting up an anti-corruption bureau – utterly pointless. Giving them power would just create another Embroidered Uniform Guard; denying it would only lead to the downfall of Emperor Chongzhen. What was the Censorate for? What was the Ministry of Justice for? Did the Embroidered Uniform Guard monitor corruption? They were monitoring who was rebelling! Get your facts straight.
