Great Ming: I'm No Carpenter Emperor

Tsk tsk, I thought it was some kind of cheat code, like some kind of fantasy version of a Mohist machine, but it turns out it's just promoting Mohism. This is even harder than fighting the Donglin Party. Elevating it from eliminating factions to a debate between Confucianism and Mohism is pure nonsense.

The Ming Dynasty's three pillars of governance were the imperial family, the gentry, and hereditary military generals. The emperor who rebelled against himself was the first to be overthrown. Don't even dream of reform unless you start from scratch, unless the emperor has a 100,000-strong personal guard under his direct control.

For example, Emperor Chongzhen was controlled by the civil official group. During the Chongzhen reign, there were a total of fifty Grand Secretaries in the cabinet. In the more than two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, there were only one hundred and sixty Grand Secretaries in total!

Does the author even know what heresy is? You're brazenly digging up the graves of Confucianism right from the start—how arrogant!

Speechless! I thought they were so powerful, but now they've let troops storm the palace. Even historical palace relocation cases can be seen as a case of ministerial power overriding imperial power, but what you wrote went straight to the point of bloodshed. What are people in other parts of the world supposed to think? 😅😅

This is hilarious! The emperor promoted the Mohist school...

For over a thousand years, Confucianism reigned supreme; mentioning Mohism was tantamount to suicide! All other schools of thought besides Confucianism were taboo; anyone who mentioned them was doomed! Therefore, the first step was to train troops, then establish schools. Anyone who dared to criticize the emperor's military training would be executed.

Science is science, yet it insists on dragging Mohism into it. Scientific thought and Mohist thought are two completely different paths. You can't develop science and technology using only Mohist methods, but ignoring Mohist thought will inevitably lead to major problems sooner or later.

His catchphrases are so distracting 😓

In an era where Confucianism governs the world, you keep bringing up the Mohist school. Do you really think your position is secure? This isn't a struggle for interests, but a conflict of ideologies. Who gave you the courage to be an enemy of the world, especially when you are at your weakest? If you had done it secretly, or used Mohist ideas occasionally because you were not well-educated, that would have been fine. But you've been far too blatant.
