The Remnant Ming

(After the great battle of Huguang, he was granted the title of Marquis of Liang) By the mandate of Heaven The Emperor decreed: I am delighted to hear of the great victory in Huguang, the beheading of the enemy chieftain, and the complete recovery of the lost territories of the Three Chu regions. Having read your report, I am filled with immense joy.

I've noticed that, judging from the comments, there isn't a single readable book on Qidian. Can any experts recommend one?

The fact that civilization can be conquered by barbarism only proves that it is uncivilized.

The saying "Civilization is always conquered by barbarism" is a foolish statement from some scholar. According to that logic, Black people would have already destroyed the ancestral graves of Europeans. An individual must first be fed and clothed before having further needs; a nation must first have a strong military to defend itself before it can move forward.

Let me first list the parts I couldn't stand: The main character trains civilians for two months and then fights to the death against four or five thousand bandits (although in the earlier chapters, a few dozen of them killed people while suppressing the rebellion). Second, all eight hundred men were equipped with armor and shields?

I think the Donglin Party was very civilized; they didn't even need knives to kill and exploit the people, they could just use Emperor Chongzhen.

The author's imagination is truly boundless; he's practically a military idiot. One chapter features fan soldiers, wielding huge palm-leaf fans, but before they've even finished, the enemy has a knife to their throat. Cavalry, needless to say, would have already been flanking several times. There are many more examples, but I won't go into detail. You can't really use your brain while reading this book, or you'll have plenty to nitpick.

Nurhaci was killed by Yuan Chonghuan during the Chongzhen era. How did he survive until the Southern Ming Dynasty?

I've read dozens of chapters, but I feel no connection to the story. The scenes lack any visual depth. Military training and battles are glossed over in a few strokes, and he's constantly thinking about his ex-wife, cuddling his new wife but not touching her while having erotic dreams. Who is he trying to impress? 😰

Personally, I think it's quite well-written. The protagonist is a typical hypocrite, and his lust is clearly stated. He reminisces about his wife from his past life while simultaneously having erotic fantasies about his current wife. Isn't that disgusting? Especially the part about the Flower Cult Leader, where he clearly states his intention to take her away. The ambiguous relationship is incredibly nauseating.
