About This Novel
This book tells the story of the magnificent development history of the Jianzhou Jurchens from 1600 to 1763, when they rose from a local regime in northeastern China to become the "unified" empire of the Qing Dynasty - from the rise of Nurhachi to Huang Taiji's five conquests on Chahar, from the anti-Russian struggle in the Shunzhi Dynasty, to the six Qing quasi-wars that ran through the three dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzong and Qianlong. This book is written for general readers. It uses first-hand information and is written in a way that is like peeling off threads and cocoons. It clarifies this complicated history clearly and tells it in an easy-to-understand language. It is slow and slow. Relying on solid analysis, the author breaks conventional cognition and tells how Huang Taiji corrected Nurhachi's "three major bad policies", how Emperor Shunzhi deployed troops and generals in the war against Russia, and Emperor Kangxi's military reform, all of which are convincing. He is especially good at examining historical details, such as the special topic of the Eight Banners system, detailed explanations of Qing army artillery and other weapons, and the schematic diagram of the Qing-Huai War, giving readers a bird's-eye view of the big historical picture and gaining immersive interest.
