Traveling Through 1982 in the Late Ming: Fighting for the World

Indeed, the overall economic climate in 1982 was extremely unfavorable. Making money was difficult, the RMB wasn't worth much, domestic controls were strict, and resources were scarce. Replenishing the Ming Dynasty's wealth was simply unrealistic; large-scale purchases of grain and steel would immediately attract attention.

Does the author think this is all young people who haven't experienced the 80s? Does he think no old men would read this book? The first few chapters are just nonsense. If the protagonist is like this, he won't even live to see the New Year. And I wasted a chapter subscription just to complain. Do people write books on a whim these days?

He who wins the world wins the hearts of the people. If they don't take advantage of the natural and man-made disasters in mainland China to transport people to Southeast Asia and Taiwan, they don't deserve any thanks. An individual's life lasts no more than a hundred years, and so-called gratitude lasts only a few months or years.

I've been thinking about this theme for a long time. We don't even need to come up with any new weapons. Just the industrialized production of armor plates and arrowheads in steel mills, combined with the superior crops suitable for the Little Ice Age, and the knowledge of planting, weaving, forging, and other manufacturing methods suitable for the Ming Dynasty's productivity—it's just too good to be true! I could practically lock myself in and start farming! 🙂

If I were the protagonist, I'd immediately arrange immigration upon receiving a cheat-like advantage. The barren lands (too many restrictions) wouldn't allow someone as powerful as the protagonist to emerge. Forget that pitiful American sentimentality; respect the fate of the nation.

This is an author with real substance. Don't pay too much attention to the opinions of fellow readers. I've heard that authors who "listen to advice" all die very quickly. Write about the modern era if you want to, and write about the ancient era if you want to. At most, we'll add a preview.

I glanced at it briefly; the protagonist saves and helps the rebel army, but I didn't read any further. It's understandable to rebel when you can't survive, but the rebel army had no bottom line, no rules, and many of their actions were incredibly demoralizing. Only a very few people were vindicated for resisting the Qing, while many others committed atrocities no less than the Qing's.

Too long-winded. To put it nicely, it's detailed; to put it bluntly, it's just rambling. It doesn't show any emphasis on the late Ming Dynasty. The thinking is chaotic, and the actions are disorganized. I know writing is not easy, but you're definitely not going to become popular if you write like this.

In the 1980s, resources were scarce and people were restless. Where would you find the resources to manufacture things in the Ming Dynasty? You'd be better off going abroad.

…Li Zicheng's so-called army of hundreds of thousands... At most, there were a few thousand so-called elite soldiers who survived piles of corpses. His so-called old camp had been almost entirely wiped out during the previous defeat, with only a dozen or so old subordinates who could barely be considered as such. When did Li Zicheng's army begin to transform?
