Before Hanging Himself, Chongzhen Flipped the Table

Aren't you turning over the table? Are you printing treasure money with IOUs? Why don't you just flip the table and start eating? You just pick up the food that fell on the floor and continue to eat it. You know history and have a wealth of knowledge, but you don't dare to conquer the world again. Zhu Yuanzhang started his career with a broken bowl! It would be too petty to write a novel that is more grand.

What's the use of a thousand catties of force against a red cannon?

Chongzhen: "Jingtian, you are finally back. How can I live without you? This time I will give myself to you to save the world!" 😏

Introduction/The golden finger at the beginning makes me expect the protagonist to kill everyone and save the deadlock at the end of the Ming Dynasty. However, as of Chapter 109, I haven't seen any amazing performance from the protagonist. Magical power/magical shooting can be a big selling point. There were not many powerful military generals in the late Ming Dynasty. The protagonist personally leads the cavalry charge, or can shoot an important enemy general from 200 meters away and kill an important enemy general, which can also boost morale. The result was that he kicked a rebel general, shot through a few targets, and wounded an enemy general on the city wall, and that was it? Travelers improve their firearms and use high technology to crush the natives. Although it is an old routine, as long as the writing is enjoyable, I will pay for it. Maybe the author is pressing the schedule, or for the sake of rationality, but so far, there is nothing exciting in this aspect. In the process of regaining the world, it is also very interesting to compete with each other in terms of resourcefulness/strategy, just like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. But, no, the imperial court is full of corrupt officials and rubbish, and the generals under his command are all mediocre. According to the setting, the protagonist does not even have the wisdom of a mortal. There is zero enjoyment in this regard. You still have to drag your feet to beat Li Zicheng, let alone crush him. He can't beat him even if he fights hard. How will he get the money later? Will you cheat again then? I saw the author leaving a message to explain. In short, it must be reasonable and not messy. Let's put it this way, do readers pay to read a book to see the so-called rationality, or to see it for fun? Reasonability is the author's own responsibility, and coolness is the selling point of your book. How to balance both is also the author's own job. Readers are not obligated to spend money/time to read a story that is reasonable but uninteresting. The author will definitely be unhappy after reading these criticisms. I don't expect the author to change them. I will just share my own opinions. Thank you.

Many people in the comment area are asking why they don't kill corrupt officials one by one from top to bottom. This question is why since ancient times, in addition to the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, our army has successfully revolted and created the world. All other so-called peasant armies failed. The thought of hating the rich and hating the officials is idealism. The ancients called the Yangtze River a river and the Yellow River a river. The water in the Yangtze River is clear, and the water in the Yellow River is turbid. The Yangtze River is flowing, and the Yellow River is also flowing. An old proverb goes: When a saint comes out, the Yellow River becomes clear. But when will the Yellow River be cleared? The water of the Yangtze River irrigates the fields in several provinces on both sides of the river, and the water of the Yellow River also irrigates the fields on both sides of the provinces. It can only be used because the water is clear, and it can only be used not because the water is turbid. This has been true since ancient times. It is impossible for everyone to be free from favoritism, and favoritism will inevitably lead to violation of the law. In ancient times, all officials were castrated. Now they won't show favoritism, and they will become even more greedy. Zhu Yuanzhang killed corrupt officials. It can be said that only Zhu Yuanzhang killed corrupt officials the most ruthlessly since ancient times. But why did later generations label him as a dog? Zhu Yuanzhang was even more black than Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan was the emperor who massacred cities.

Wang Chengen led people to search the house and explained to the people below why he wanted to search the house. The author simply has no common sense. If the leader asks you to do something, will he explain so much to you? You can just do it. I don't know.

I don't understand. You already have military power. Why don't you take advantage of the fact that the country is about to be destroyed and raid all the houses? Isn't it enough to keep the loyal ministers and reward them heavily? Those moths only want to suck blood from you, and they don't do their job. Besides, there are not many people who want to be officials. As long as some loyal ministers take the novices for a period of time, they will come out. Even if the ability is insufficient, which one is more beneficial to the emperor, a 0.5 Novice or a -10 worm? Since you want to have fun, you can't have fun completely. Do you plan to fight Li Zicheng in front and compete with these people behind you?

What capital does Chongzhen have to overturn the table? He has money? Does he have military power? He has nothing but his righteous status!

I just came to see how Chongzhen raped corrupt officials in the late Ming Dynasty and destroyed their families.

This reminds me of an old book called History Crusher. It begins with the story of Chongzhen, who was brave enough to fight all the way from the Forbidden City to Shanhaiguan. He hacked for 3 days and 3 nights without blinking an eye.
