From the Start in the Great Qing: From Rich Kid to Indian Ocean Overlord

I've been reading time-travel novels by overseas Chinese for several years, and today it suddenly dawned on me that all of these novels, especially those by overseas Chinese that don't eventually conquer China, have huge plot holes. If the protagonist's goal is to establish a colony overseas, then to acquire a population, he must rely on the Chinese mainland.

Those who claim Britain dominated the Indian Ocean in 1890 probably don't even know what the "empire on which the sun never sets" means. During that period, Britain was practically at its peak; India was essentially wearing the British crown, and anyone who challenged it would perish.

Kangxi was even addressed as "Mr."... He was no less of a traitor than Wang Jingwei... He tricked Emperor Guangxu into selling Tibet to Britain and Xinjiang to Russia to pay the indemnity from the First Sino-Japanese War... If it weren't for Empress Dowager Cixi, this guy would have caused chaos, and China would have lost at least half its territory.

You thought you were the lord of the Indian Ocean in 1890? That's laughable! What made you think you were the lord? In 1890, the Indian Ocean was Britain's inland sea, Britain at its peak! Unless you had some high-tech system that conjured up weapons out of thin air that could crush the British navy at that time...

Since overseas nation-building only began in 1890, achieving the goal of dominating the Indian Ocean would mean writing until at least the end of both World Wars. Starting with Madagascar essentially means establishing Southern Africa as your base.

This shows how much they despise the British Empire! The United States had to go through two world wars and, when Britain was in decline, it joined forces with the Soviet Union to dismantle Britain's colonial system.

1890? Don't be ridiculous. 1690, You still have a chance.

They still dare to write... Write something good, and it'll basically get banned as soon as it's finished. Either the timeframe ends early

Sigh, the author is dreaming.

Daily Poison Guide is now avoiding ranking lists. It's either kids writing period dramas, AI writing Hong Kong variety shows, military ignoramuses writing war and military fiction, or history buffs writing time-travel stories. Sigh.
