How Can There Be No Good Novels Set During the Ming Dynasty's Three Hundred Years?

The Ming, Song, and Tang Dynasties
Are there really no stories about the Liao, Jin, Yuan-Mongol, Dali, and Tubo? Is it because there aren't enough sources or historical records? Did we all have different textbooks in our nine years of compulsory education? Do I have to look up local gazetteers?

Looking for Historical Fiction with No System and No Excessive Invention
"My Grandfather Is Zhu Yuanzhang" is a great example. I like power-struggle stories, and all of Wu Laolang’s books are great, like "Three Kingdoms: A Good Kid". No womanizers, and don’t give the female lead too much screen time. Absolutely no System stories, no wish-fulfillment stories, and no creator-type stories.

Stories where the protagonist is the emperor.
With a System and Upgradeable Personal Guard Troops
It has a System and a personal guard army that can be upgraded.

To be honest. Well, I'll give you 4 stars out of 5. If it is scored as 100 points. You get 90 points. This book. Interesting. Time flies. People write dozens of chapters a day. He has more than 60 pictures. It's been almost two years. But why not give you full stars? I read more than 60 chapters. Basically the male protagonist. Emotional issues are brushed aside. But it's okay. Mainly. Shouldn't he be called Wangye? But basically they are all called King Fu. And I don't like that girl either. A bit temperamental and unreasonable. But you can still watch it. The author should be a northerner.
It's not easy to find a book that suits your taste. The logic of the writing is good. Keep up the good work, the author!!!
Five stars before entering Beijing, two stars after entering Beijing. Especially for the wild boar problem, the original history was that the bandits were self-respecting, looked down on soldiers, and did not pay attention to armaments. The chefs in the court made decisions for the front line. They were short of money, and not much was allocated to the bottom. It stands to reason that these problems should gradually disappear after entering Beijing. But I've seen chapter 200, and those pigs are still alive
A good novel, recommended
Generally speaking, it is more in line with my taste. It's just that the details are a bit rough. For example, his name is from ancient times, so you should use the ancient name instead of the modern name. There are also some details, Yunnan is not very important, but Yunnan is very important. Yunnan is particularly rich in minerals. For example, for the Jurchens, they were always in the South China Sea and the East China Sea in the early stage. The Jurchens did not pay much attention to them, they were too carefree. There is also cotton, which can be grown in large quantities in the northwest. In particular, his ancestors Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di recommended a large number of cotton plantings in the early Ming Dynasty. Moreover, after occupying the northeast and northwest, we can increase the use of coal and oil. In the Song Dynasty, fierce oil (petroleum) was already used for military purposes, and coal was even more widely used.
This book is interesting, please read it now! Some character plots can be a little faster, because many people are impatient when reading books nowadays!!!
This book is about three and a half, and the rest is for the author. I have a good attitude. I often reply to comments and communicate with readers. (The most important thing is that I am not a glass-hearted person. 9. One more article [awkward laugh] 😤, your attitude makes me calm down) I don't mean what I want, I just want to say that the author has a good mentality and good receptive ability. If there is any interruption, I will delete it.
The writing is very exciting and appetizing. You can change the names of North American states to ancient places, just change them according to the place names in ancient myths and novels.
Yang Fan's novel about the Ming Dynasty is very in line with my taste. The author is very attentive to the history of the Ming Dynasty and introduces us to the novel with carefully researched content. It is excellent. Recommended
Very good level, clear thinking
