The late Spring and Autumn period, before the Warring States era. The four great clans of Jin were locked in a life-and-death struggle over the final partition of Jin, with no time to spare. The Tian clan of Qi had begun making comprehensive preparations to take over the state, cultivating ties with other states while keeping a low profile. Chu was still recovering from the devastation wrought by Wu. Yue had become the last hegemon of the Spring and Autumn period, but its influence over the feudal lords was weak. After Gou Jian, in particular, it withdrew from the struggle for dominance in the Central Plains. The chaos among Qin’s princes had yet to end.
At the turning point between the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, as the states underwent their final reshuffling, one butterfly effect could change the fate of all of Huaxia!
I really doubt what motivated the author to write. The last book alone took four years to write. This one is probably even slower. Of course, the writing is quite good.
Good! Writing about small and medium-sized countries in the late Spring and Autumn Period is inherently a challenge. Be optimistic about the author. However, it must be said that at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, iron plows and oxen farming had not yet become popular, and small sects had not yet completely broken away from the economic and political dependence of large sects. It would take one or two generations of accumulation for the monarch to expand the small landowners from poor families who could be exploited. It would be a fantasy to want to dominate the world with the efforts of one generation.
The feeling of the previous book is still there, but the update speed is really too slow.
There are advantages and disadvantages. First of all, the disadvantage is that the protagonist occasionally misses this modern sentence, which shows that the book is not very rigorous, but it only happens occasionally, and it does not appear all the time. The advantage is that the author vividly embodies the conspiracies and machinations between the countries. Although there is no defeat in general, the victory is also very difficult. It is not said to be easy. It is very idealistic. As a king, the protagonist does not have to talk on paper. Furthermore, the author portrays the image of the protagonist very well. As a time-traveler, it is not unreasonable. The protagonist immediately adapts to the identity of the king, and then becomes very powerful. Instead, he grows steadily. From the time he traveled through time, he would vomit when he saw the mountains of corpses everywhere, and then slowly became slightly uncomfortable, and then slowly became fully adapted. In the process from being fearless to brave and resourceful, he slowly developed the emperor's mental skills that are invisible to emotions and anger. This book not only reflects the helplessness of small and weak countries to survive in the cracks, but also shows that even powerful countries must think twice. The perspective switching is very good, and the Machiavellian theory of "one wrong step and one wrong step" can also be reflected. Both the Song Dynasty and the protagonist encountered setbacks and ups and downs in the process of fighting for hegemony, and then they all gradually grew and became stronger. It is more realistic and does not talk about winning after repeated battles.
Come on, author. When I played the Chronicles of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I felt how difficult the Song Kingdom was. I look forward to the follow-up 👍
Okay, that's cool. Start reading from the first one
It's so good. It's really fun to see the world's situation unite vertically and horizontally. The author should give it a big boost [laughs]
Really beautiful, recommended
I stopped updating half of the last book, and then ended it hastily. It turned out that I was going to publish a new book 🤦
Come on, author, I started reading your works a few years ago
