Great Ming: I, Zhu Gaoxu, Found the Great Han Overseas

First, the author must understand that as the Han Dynasty developed to a certain point, it was inevitable that it would clash with the Ming Dynasty; this was a natural consequence of the conflict between two neighboring great powers. If the current generation didn't fight, the next would. Why not resolve the situation in this generation? Was it for the protagonist's reputation?

At the start, seize Zheng He's fleet and head to North America. Otherwise, knowing you're in Southeast Asia, Zhu Zhanji still won't sleep, fearing your return.

It's so slow, I only want to watch the overseas episodes.

It's ridiculous that they would seize Luzon and then attack Europe. During Zhu Di's reign, Vietnam was already part of the territory. During Zhu Zhanji's reign, the territory was abandoned, and Vietnam was directly granted a fiefdom. Then, they led Vietnam all the way from the Indochina Peninsula to Singapore, controlled the Mangala Strait, and used the Ming Dynasty as a base to attack India.

The first half of the book was quite enjoyable, but the plot became increasingly boring towards the end. Instead of expanding into the Americas, the story turned to conquering Europe, and it ultimately followed the old path of a feudal dynasty ruled by a single family. No matter how well a dynasty develops in the early stages, it will eventually be ruined by a series of incompetent rulers.

Author, can you answer my question about how Zheng He's treasure ships in the Ming Dynasty, which were so large, were powered? Don't tell me they were rowed by hand. Don't you think this shows that the Ming Dynasty had some technology? You could look into some Western pseudo-historical accounts.

That's utter garbage. If you gave them tens of millions of taels, at least half would end up in the pockets of those civil officials and gentry. And this was only the early Ming Dynasty; by the late Ming, it would be at least nine-tenths. The Ming Dynasty's civil officials, from the moment Zhu Yuanzhang chose Zhu Yunwen, were completely corrupt.

No matter how you look at it, the Americas are the best choice. At this time and with this status, the Americas are the chosen one! Southeast Asia is geographically isolated and has a harsh environment; Australia has industry but its resources are not suitable for large-scale population growth. The best course of action would be to cross the strait into North America, conquer the entire Americas, and then colonize Australia.

I think it would be better to let Esen attack the capital and kill Zhu Zhanji, making him the last emperor of the country, and then let Zhu Gaochi restore order. He could even become an ancestor, since taking the throne from his nephew is ultimately not a good thing.

Look at modern-day Britain, Canada, and France. Without a large, dominant ethnic group, they're just doing the work for others.
