The Winds Rise in North America, 1625

I subscribed to the whole thing after reading half of it. However, the author's descriptions of some aspects of the late Ming Dynasty are somewhat flawed. For example, the lives of ordinary people and the literacy rate of the Ming Dynasty's population.

Don't follow the example of that group from the Americas next door and start a monotheistic religion! I just can't understand why people from the modern era next door would revive monotheism after being eliminated in the Zhou Dynasty. It's incredibly toxic! At that time, Europe was already reflecting on the harm caused by theocracy, so the monarchy began to consolidate its power.

This book has a brilliant setting; the warships don't need to carry women. The author's confidence in the system is unlike his older works, which are always using a Chinese shell while harboring Japanese and Western intentions. They also had absolute control over the army. It was rare to see an army operating independently in China after the Song Dynasty, which was truly remarkable. The development is also very reasonable. It would be great if there were more works like this.

Nationalism was the most advanced weapon in the 17th century, and Sinocentric culture is the answer in this book. Han people, Chinese language, Chinese characters, twist and turn the whole of New Zealand. If we keep circling around the Han Chinese and calling Chinese immigrants "Ming people," then there must be a major hidden danger.

First of all, I've already subscribed to the entire book, but the account I used to subscribe can't post comments. Below is my comment ↓ Overseas nation-building novels, actually, don't make logical sense! If I were to travel overseas, I would definitely prepare resources there, try every means to return to the Chinese mainland, first establish myself on the islands surrounding the Chinese…

At this point, several private ships belonging to Ming Dynasty merchants could directly sail to North America. Over the years, many had established good relationships with the time traveler and were aware of his capabilities. Given the time traveler's significant backing during the chaotic times, especially after the siege of Beijing was lifted, savvy individuals were willing to risk losses to…

A group of people indoctrinated with feudal ideology, all past the age of receiving education, with many illiterate, are expected to reform their feudalistic group by sending a few people to Xinhua for a quick look? What kind of science fiction dream is this?

If you're going to engage in transoceanic shipping, especially the Pacific, it would take at least ten years to build coaling stations along the way. You'd also need to establish coal bases on both sides of the ocean. Suitable routes for coaling stations are as follows: the northern route must pass through Hokkaido, the Kuril Islands, the Aleutian Islands, and Vancouver; the southern route goes…

Vancouver Island is a good choice; it's far from the Spanish, so there's no need to worry about safety. Moreover, the island has coal and iron ore deposits, and the Vancouver hinterland across the water has substantial gold reserves. The surrounding area also has timber suitable for shipbuilding, as well as abundant fur resources, enough for initial development needs.

A divided Ming Dynasty is in our best interest. Therefore, when I read novels about establishing a nation overseas, most of the authors are simply writing about national sentiment, regardless of whether it's reasonable or not. As a result, reading these novels feels incongruous and disjointed.
