Great Ming: The Dead Return

Few writers dare to write about the Ming Dynasty now; they're still stuck writing about the Little Ice Age. Not a single one dares to portray the fall of the Ming as a World War I, a demise orchestrated by Ming capitalist groups in alliance with overseas pirate groups. Just look at the thousands of unequal treaties the Qing Dynasty signed; the fact that it still left behind such a vast amount of assets shows how powerful the Ming Dynasty was.

Seeing so many unfulfilled fans in the comments section, this book must be really good, I'll definitely read it. 🤓

There are so many Manchu remnants in this book review section!

Don't forget to purge the Liu Daxia family; in the end, reduce them to ashes. They stole the treasure ships and nautical charts, used them for smuggling, and told Zhu Houzhao to burn them, thus setting China's navigation centuries behind. Even reducing them to ashes wouldn't be enough to appease them.

The scope is too narrow. With only 60-odd chapters and no money, those Jiangnan landlords are piled up like mountains, while those civil officials are still relatively few. Just one city, Beijing, Old Li has 70 million taels of silver, not including his hometown land and his mother's food, just 70 million taels of cash in Beijing alone. Tell me, how can you be short a few million taels?

Well written! It's such a pity about the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty hadn't fallen, we would have become a world power 300 years earlier. What a lamentable and tragic situation!

The three most interesting points about Ming Dynasty fans One key point is the History of Ming. What's good about the Ming Dynasty is considered true, and what's bad is considered false. The History of Ming highly praises Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, Emperor Renzong, and Emperor Xuanzong, and shows great sympathy and affirmation for Emperor Chongzhen.

This book was so enjoyable to read! It's about bringing down those hypocrites from the Donglin Party, and those treacherous Jiangnan scholars who were all human in human skin but wolves in sheep's clothing. Their greed for money led to the Ming Dynasty's demise, and they bear a great deal of responsibility for that.

Authors: Sun Zhixie, Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Li Yongfang, Shang Kexi. These treacherous dogs must be exterminated, especially Sun Zhixie, that treacherous dog who is currently in the Hanlin Academy; his entire clan must be wiped out.

A good book; it portrays an emperor who would stop at nothing to save himself as a living person who is almost a tyrant but still has his own bottom line.
