Great Ming: You Were Supposed to Destroy Ming, So Why Are You Helping It Prosper?

If wiping out the Ming Dynasty means I can return to modern society and live like a rich man, then?

What? There's really a deal like that?

Fine! Easy! I'll just become Li Zicheng, right?

What? You won't let me leave?

And you even wiped out every last Jurchen?

Damn it! Then I'll waste manpower and money building factories and promoting farming, while paying everyone next to nothing. Surely that will stir up public resentment!

What? That didn't work either! The people are grateful to me? They're even pushing me onto the throne?

In that case, I'll strip the vassal princes of their power! Surely they'll rebel if I do that!

What? They think I'm looking out for them, and they're even voluntarily giving up their authority?

Can we even play this game properly? Who's the one screwing me over?!
