After Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he spent ten years defeating Zhang Xianzhong, forcing Li Zicheng to retreat into the mountains, and essentially resolving the internal strife. Just as he was about to shift his focus to external wars, a severe drought suddenly struck North China.
I only read the synopsis, but Nurhaci himself, along with his sons and grandsons, never intended to conquer the Central Plains; their ambition was always to establish a separatist regime in the Northeast. With such a small population and limited core military strength, a single loss would wipe them out. The general consensus that they "lost their deer" is pure nonsense.
Something that could be explained in one sentence is always interrupted, and then there's a twist that makes me look wrong. It's always like this. Is this how they try to reach the word count?

Does the author have a grudge against Mao Wenlong?
After reading about 120 chapters, I started to feel something was off. I know the protagonist will eventually go solo, but it's only chapter 120, and Liaodong hasn't been completely pacified yet. Isn't it a bit premature to talk about rejecting Liaodong and establishing independence?
While it appears to be a grand and epic tale, detailing the killing of Nurhaci and Huang Taiji, and the alliance with the Mongols, a closer look reveals that it actually accomplishes nothing. It simply introduces a protagonist whose achievements overshadow the emperor, leading to his recall, the resurgence of the Later Jin dynasty, and a counterattack against the Ming dynasty.
In short, does the protagonist rebel?
Just watch and enjoy the show. This author, who writes haphazardly, doesn't understand many things. The most ridiculous part is Mao Wenlong's surrender—he probably doesn't even know where Dongjiang Town is! Dongjiang Town is an island. The Later Jin could conquer Jinzhou and Lushun, but they couldn't take Pi Island. The sea might be passable by ice in winter, but it's extremely dangerous.
Song Jiang led the entire Liangshan band to accept the imperial pardon, but Tong Guan wanted to massacre them. Grand Commandant Su persuaded them to make the best use of their talents. Just then, the Liao Kingdom invaded, and an imperial edict ordered Song Jiang and his group to go north to fight the enemy.
