Synopsis

This book shows the historical events of the sixty years from the late Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty. The author observes the political, economic, and military conditions of the Ming Dynasty and Manchuria in parallel, trying to summarize the historical experience and lessons of why the Ming Dynasty declined and why Manchuria rose. In terms of narrative technique, the ups and downs of Yuan Chonghuan's personal destiny are used as clues to promote the development of the plot, and the vast social and historical content behind it is added, so it is both readable and has a certain depth and breadth. From 1583 to 1644, several political forces fought for each other on the stage of the Central Plains. "People-friendly scholar" Yan Chongnian tells you about the blood and fire of these 60 years of history. This book not only writes about a series of life-and-death battles between the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the Liaodong region, but also about the peace negotiations between the two sides, the political crisis of the Ming Dynasty, the three court cases, the fierce party disputes, and vividly outlines many characters in that specific era. Character portraits with distinctive personalities... These characters and events constituted that era of disintegration and intense color. By analyzing these characters and events, the author reveals to us the historical treasures of why the Ming Dynasty declined and why the Qing Dynasty prospered.

Reader comments

This book was revised and compiled based on Mr. Lectures given at the Baijia Forum. Part of the content has been deleted, including what Mingchui always said: "The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the monarch dies in the country." It makes me happy to think about it.

The writing style of this book is very unique. Teacher Yan Chongnian tells the history of the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties in plain language, so that even a person like me who doesn't know much about history can understand it. Moreover, his descriptions of characters and events are very vivid, just like watching a TV series, with a very visual sense. Through this book, I have a deeper understanding of that period of history and learned many historical lessons. I think this is a book worth reading and I recommend it to you!

I Want to Do Involution. Are There Any Books About Studying?

If You Like the Historical Military Novels of the Late Ming Dynasty, Read It, the Best Among the Best.

I want to see content similar to "I pretend to be the son of Chongzhen, I kill the Qing army and revive the Ming Dynasty". The description of the war scenes is full of realism, the characters are consistent with history, and the plot is well presented. The story is about struggling to survive in the face of adversity and making every step of the way. There is no big open technology tree, no golden fingers
