The Mighty Han Winds Rise in the Southern Seas

The story of a man in Southeast Asia whose father-in-law is Zheng Xin isn't compelling enough; the title should be changed to "The Fierce Rise of the Han Dynasty in Southeast Asia" 🙂

Zheng Xin's uprising went quite smoothly; within a few years, he pushed the Burmese back and established the Thonburi Dynasty. During this process, the protagonist helps his father-in-law in his campaigns, suppressing local noble forces and weakening their power. He easily accumulates considerable strength and secures investment from his father-in-law.

The equal distribution of land actually hinders industrial development; if there's land to cultivate, no one wants to move to a new place. How can you develop large-scale industries in new territories?

What kind of readers have these "novelty-savvy" novels cultivated? It's utterly absurd. Even during the Taiping Rebellion, when the Qing army was so incompetent, they could still hold on thanks to local militias. Now, with Emperor Qianlong still alive and the Qing dynasty still possessing some vitality, some people actually think they can take advantage of the crippled half of Vietnam and march…

World situation If the chieftains of Burma in the Indochina Peninsula were defeated and forced to submit, then aside from Burmese culture, they would all have become chieftains of the Qing Dynasty. Before the Eastern Expedition, the territory of Thonburi should have looked like this. After the battles of Da Jinchuan and Xiao Jinchuan were over

I've given up on this book; I simply couldn't get into Chapter 777. Initially, as I read on, witnessing the protagonist overthrow the Qing Dynasty and usher in a new era for China, I was full of anticipation for the exciting stories of his transformation of China. But the further I read, the greater my disappointment became.

World situation The principality that emerged from Austria was quite large; Parma, Moises II's territory, was in Italy. The Eastern Yu dynasty conquered the Netherlands and Southeast Asia, giving Burma the opportunity to restore its former glory. The Yu dynasty then occupied these areas, and Lanna declared independence.

The Qing dynasty actively plundered Guangdong and Guangxi, while the protagonist was wallowing in self-pity in Beihe. As a result, the book dragged on for months with nothing actually happening, as if it had been paused.

The book title should be changed to "The Return of the Nanyang Chinese" 🙂

It's quite malicious to inexplicably fawn over Zheng Xin. Why insist on acknowledging him as a father figure? If you lack the strength, acknowledging him is one thing, but Ha Tinh has hundreds of thousands of troops, and your strength is several times greater than Zheng Xin's. Why still acknowledge him as a father?
