The Great Ming Fleet

I don't understand why the protagonist, or rather the author, was so obsessed with the Ming Dynasty. He clearly had the power to establish his own dynasty, yet he chose to support the Ming, a dynasty rotten to the core. This worked while the protagonist was alive; no one dared to oppose him. But what happened after his death?

As for novels that support emperors... The thought of the protagonist painstakingly climbing the technological ladder, building armies for countless wars, only to ultimately fail to ascend to the throne, unable to lead China to the forefront of the world, and even having to constantly guard against the emperor's suspicions and be consumed by internal strife, makes me have absolutely no desire to continue reading.

You traveled back in time and spent all that effort. At the very least, you should have ensured that the people of that era lived better than in real history. Otherwise, why should I support you? Are you going to make the common people die once when the Manchus attacked, and then have them die again when you attack? You might as well not have come at all.

It's so annoying how time travelers always bring up the idea that the Earth is round. They've already gone off on such far-fetched topics before anything even really happened. It's just a way to show off and make the ancients think they're idiots. What's the point of telling people all this?

The last sentence of the description is enough to deter you. Goodbye, trolls and keyboard warriors, don't reply to my post.

Since you want to expand and colonize overseas, then human resources are the top priority. Why not kill more people and exile more? Learn from the British Empire. With such a narrow-minded and perverse desire for revenge, the Han people will never become the "empire on which the sun never sets."

Add the girl you like to your collection; there's no need to read a single word of this trashy novel.

Fate intertwines, returning to the late Ming Dynasty, where a simple and honest soldier... Improving firearms and gunpowder, Chen Peng suspected a late-night discussion. Lacking any understanding of human relationships and social etiquette, he finds his boss plotting a rebellion. He opened a blacksmith shop with a brilliant idea, and one day he met Chen Jinnan.

I finished watching it in a day. The plot is a bit rough, mainly because the plot devices are ridiculously overpowered. All the technology is just blueprints provided, and after a while, the finished product appears. They even transport ore from Vietnam to Luzon for smelting—is their transport capacity sufficient? Clipper ships only take ten days to reach the Americas, yet they go through Alaska—aren't they afraid of being blown up by the storms?

This book is just for killing time. The inventions mentioned were actually quite impractical. Gunpowder production in the Ming Dynasty wasn't high; it's easy to make thousands of kilograms of gunpowder. It's a bit of an oversimplification. Unless you have heavy machine guns, small bursts of gunpowder plus cannons simply couldn't stop cavalry. So, they could only bully the Eight Banners in the south; going to the Central Plains would be suicide.
