A Charcoal Burner in the Qing Dynasty, 1848

There are still three years left, what's the rush? Why do you insist on joining the God Worshipping Society? The leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were mostly worthless. Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing did unspeakable things in Nanjing, completely ruining a promising situation.

Upon reading the latest chapter, the author's approach is simply baffling. The protagonist hadn't even fully unified Hubei and Hunan, nor did he have a navy, yet he was already thinking of immigrating to the west coast of North America to compete with the Americans for territory. Damn it, I'm completely numb! They call it easing the domestic land-population conflict.

To write a historical time-travel novel set after the 18th century, you should change the world's population structure; otherwise, it's not very interesting. We should carry out a global population restructuring, essentially a "restructuring and upgrading" approach.

Anyway, I think it's a stretch to think that having tens of thousands of soldiers wouldn't be enough to clear the land of four cities. Even in the areas where land was cleared, it was an incomplete clearing that compromised with small landowners, deliberately slowing down the pace. The only place where land was truly cleared was Jiangxia, which was only because the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had taken everyone away earlier, meaning the protagonist didn't actually get any land himself.

At that time, Britain and France were at the height of their power. Author, you were just a small regime, yet you were so confrontational with them, even revealing your hand by refusing to acknowledge any of the unequal treaties signed between Britain, France, and the Qing Dynasty. You also faced counterattacks from Han Chinese landlord militias and the Qing Dynasty itself.

Their strategy is a mess; they haven't even controlled the South, yet they're already trying to extend their reach into North America—it's utterly absurd.

The Taiping Rebellion's occupation of Jiangnan allowed the main forces to directly seize Guangdong, Guangxi, and Annam. With the Taiping army taking the lead and the Qing army suffering initial casualties, they could train elite troops and develop for ten years or so. They were simply waiting for the opportune moment, as the late Qing dynasty relied heavily on modern firearms, cannons, and ships. Guangxi had manpower, Guangdong had money, and Annam had provisions.

The writing gets worse and worse, more and more padded, and more and more repetitive. Also, as others have mentioned, southern China is basically under Japanese occupation, with the protagonist having an independent separatist regime (which is essentially a country)! The Qing dynasty couldn't even defeat a few thousand foreigners.

1. The logic is reasonable, and it is a cool article, but it is not mindless. Unlike some novels, which have reached Singapore within a few years of development, beating the British and French to pieces 2. The protagonist is a staunch revolutionary who will never tolerate the Manchus. Stay, I like this the most. I don't want to think about some novels. Oh, I'll go.

1. As the title suggests, what about high-ranking retainers like Jiang, Zhang, and Xiang? Most of these retainers died with dignity. Let alone these people, I think even Lin should be exposed. 2. The plot development is always suppressed. The protagonist's development is limited by the lack of scholars and administrators and the desire to prevent the team from being corrupted.
