The Great Ming

I have heard that in the realm of book reviews, discipline has fallen into disarray, and petty scoundrels run rampant. This is due to a lack of diligent updating. If one were to diligently write ten thousand words daily, the petty scoundrels would be terrified and retreat, and virtuous people would gladly gather. Such an achievement would be comparable to that of Yao and Shun!

The biggest scoundrel of the Ming Dynasty was its own emperor; how dare he criticize others?

Seriously, why are so many people discussing the Ming Dynasty? Do you think reading a time-travel novel requires you to be all so sentimental? I just want to ask Shennong (a legendary Chinese deity) about the book's quality and whether it's worth reading. Damn it, the comments section is full of people standing on modern moral high ground, praising the Ming emperors.

This book is alright, nothing major but plenty of minor flaws! First, there's the issue of personnel management; a loyal minister isn't necessarily a capable one! Historically, loyal ministers have generally been given important positions! Then there's Yuan Shikai, a controversial figure I can't really comment on!

The protagonist feels like Emperor Chongzhen fantasizing about winning. 😄

A PhD graduate, a department-level official before transmigrating, and an emperor after transmigrating, he wields military power, wealth, and control of the court. He has the Eastern Depot, Western Depot, and Embroidered Uniform Guard—yet he doesn't develop productivity. Science and technology are the primary productive forces.

We should properly improve and restore the Ming Dynasty's garrison and school systems, and prevent them from becoming as dilapidated as they were during the Chongzhen era. The Weixue (卫所学校) of the Ming Dynasty were public schools established by Zhu Yuanzhang for the sons of military households. Every Weisu had one.

I saw someone on Bilibili recreate Zhu Youxiao; he was actually quite handsome.

I'm speechless. Wei Zhongxian and Madam Ke never sidelined the Tianqi Emperor. This is completely fabricated in the History of Ming. When writing historical time-travel novels, you must have the ability to sort out the historical details yourself. You must never easily believe the history books compiled by the next dynasty that usurped the throne!
