The Late Ming Turmoil: The Han King Reclaims the Realm

Just to clarify, in this novel, after the fall of Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen 'disappeared'! I'll say it three times because it's important. I really didn't want to give away any spoilers, but people keep raising questions about the logic. I've been working on the outline for several months, and I've considered all the logic.

I. Reform 1. If we want to carry out in-depth reforms, we will inevitably have fierce conflicts with officials, gentry and powerful families in the southeast. Whether it was Zhang Juzheng's reforms in the Ming Dynasty or the reforms implemented by the Qing Dynasty after conquering Jiangnan, both proved that it was simply impossible to carry out reforms peacefully.

Give the Qing dynasty a good beating! The Qing army slaughtered far too many people after entering the pass. Those who say the Qing army slaughtered 100 million are being foolish. Over 90 million people died at the end of the Ming dynasty, and the Qing army slaughtered a total of 8 million. Later, the Taiping Rebellion also resulted in over 100 million deaths and the slaughter of several million more.

The author's direction is correct. Going south alone with no troops, even if you were the emperor, it wouldn't matter; the southern spoils have already been divided among the gentry. A bunch of parasites who only talk about righteousness, utterly useless.

Emperor Shizu of Ming and Emperor Guangwu's Restoration: How should we arrange the protagonist's achievements? Let's do a review near the end, after all, everyone has vanity, and we need to give the Ming emperors some shocks. In contrast, the Qing dynasty only had Kangxi and Yongzheng; Qianlong's achievements were so-so, with too much padding in the "Ten Great Campaigns."

This is so slow! Over 70 pages already, and it's still stuck in the capital. It hasn't gone to its fiefdom yet. I'm really losing all patience reading this.

This is my second book; I already have an older book of two million words. Having some experience, I'll be a pioneer this time. Most novels about the late Ming Dynasty, told from the perspective of the imperial family, feature Emperor Chongzhen or Crown Prince Zhu Cilang as the main characters.

Still stuck in the capital, wow, and they've even added a paid subscription. If the paid storyline involved a nomadic tribe, I reckon it would be a done deal. Still wandering around the capital, I really can't stand it anymore. 🙄

The synopsis makes it seem like the protagonist overestimates the Donglin faction. The premise is: if the enemy doesn't come, I'll fight amongst myself; if the enemy comes, I'll surrender. Who wouldn't be confused by this kind of characterization? 🙂

I wasn't bribed; I genuinely think this book is a minor masterpiece. It doesn't haphazardly introduce advanced technology, which is really unsuitable for ancient times. Even if you do introduce advanced technology, it has to be appropriate for the society at the time. This book avoids haphazardly introducing advanced technology and is very much in line with the social conditions of the era. It's exceptionally well-written.
