Historical Regrets: It Starts with Meeting Lü Zhi

Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han were both considered tyrants throughout history, only recently whitewashed. Their achievements were primarily at the national level, while their governance was brutal. Their whitewashing was simply due to favorable historical circumstances. Conversely, emperors who were truly capable rulers were simply unlucky in their time.

What kind of nonsense is this, calling someone the number one in Asia? What kind of rubbish is this? And Qin Shi Huang is ranked number one? It only lasted two generations. What a load of bull!

Have you ever thought that the improvement of productivity requires enlightenment, and after enlightenment, the people will fight against the landlords, and the emperor is the biggest landlord. How could those feudal princes agree? The core of feudalism is ignorance of the people.

Twice! Every time I read the part that tries to whitewash the "Head of the Gate" emperor, I can't stand it anymore. Every time it's portrayed as a deliberate power grab by civil officials, a purge of military merit, and now it's the southern Jiangnan gentry seizing power.

Many things are only superficially discussed. You might as well set aside the comparison of Eastern and Western history, which would be more intuitive. Chinese civilization began its demise with arrogance.

When I saw Fusu, Li Jiancheng, and Li Chengqian, I couldn't hold back. The demise of Qin was unpopular, including the people in the Guanzhong area who did not support the Qin Dynasty. Whether Qin II supported Su or not, he could not stop the uprising of Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, Chen Sheng, and Wu Guang. Those who wishfully believe that Fusu can save Qin are either nerds or violent Qin fans.

It's too chaotic. In reality, the protagonist's perspective is also within the cycle of domestic history. Compared to Western history, Chinese history is indeed cyclical. Aside from increasingly centralized imperial power, the environment and civilization have become increasingly conservative.

I'm not a big fan of stories that send supplies to ancient times. It implicitly negates the traditional historical perspective, the dialogue is jarring, and the content and interactions are rushed. Simply put, there's no normal dialogue; the protagonist just unilaterally makes assumptions, and the characters' reactions are strange. It's definitely a simplistic, amateurish story.

Other dynasties are alright, but he's too sycophantic towards the Ming Dynasty. Even his own sons are portrayed as good people. Haha.

The author's historical knowledge is terrible.
