This book is really good, especially the story about Lu Bu fighting for Diao Chan and Sun Wukong. Hundreds of people gathered together in the battle, but Xue Baochai was indeed too strong. If Nuoshou hadn't used an outer ring + Noxian guillotine, this wave of M4 six-fold strafing would have killed him. But I am more concerned about what Zhuge Liang Tutu said to the 108 monkeys in Huaguoshan, "Young man is proud, don't show off in front of your brother Liang." It shows Zhuge Liang's indignation at the monkeys who knocked him to death with three sticks. All in all, this book has an interesting plot, a clear system, and many foreshadowings. The fighting scenes feel like you are there, and the character descriptions are spot on!
It is an absolutely high-quality historical text, and it can be funny and mixed with some common sense or ancient prose. It is really fun to learn knowledge. It is simply great. The character of the protagonist is also interesting. If you like farming stories, you must read it!
This book is a very good farming article. It starts from a small place and uses your own knowledge to change the Ming Dynasty step by step. I like this kind of book very much. It's not like some books that frequently engage in conspiracy theories, or are as fake and empty-handed as lecturers giving lessons to the Zhu family and his son. It is better to write this book in this way, which can truly lead the people to get rich and complete some reforms naturally. In addition, this book is not without its shortcomings, that is, the authors of the novels like to learn from each other, and it is really speechless to use a flush toilet every time. In fact, most Chinese people do not like to use the so-called toilet. That is because Europeans cannot squat down. If you want to make inventions, wouldn't it be enough to make a squat toilet? Fortunately, the other content is pretty good and this little bit of irritation can be ignored. Now I hope the author will write it quickly. After all, the plot advances slowly, so the amount of updates must be guaranteed.
So far, it seems to be very good-looking, the details are quite good, and the story content is also very interesting. It's not a particularly exaggerated and outrageous story. I hope it doesn't end badly. I read more than a hundred chapters, and it was quite interesting in the early stage. Later I found that Zhu Yuanzhang Tang and Chang Yuchun had nothing else to do all day, so they just hung around a small magistrate. Although it was a pig's foot, everyone couldn't hang around him, right?
Very good, it is a rare work that does not criticize the Ming Dynasty based on his merits, nor criticizes Zhu Yuanzhang based on his character. Although the protagonist's behavior is questionable and not rigorous enough, the shortcomings do not hide the good points, and I like it very much.
Finally, there is a novel that introduces the social environment and humanistic environment in the north in the early Ming Dynasty.
The author is the only one I have read for so many years who is willing to check the information and write the correct beginning of the imperial edict, "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor". This is correct. So many people who write historical articles do not pay attention to these details and just make mistakes. Only this author is willing to correct it. This is worthy of five-star praise.
I saw Chapter 327, it's an excellent piece of writing. The first is that the protagonist travels to the first year of Hongwu. This time period is the best time for me to display my ambitions. Moreover, he was also a talented scholar. Needless to say, I don't need to tell you how valuable this was at the time. So it started with Tianhu, and then it took off with Ningyang County, and then it was quickly noticed by Zhu Yuanzhang and reused. It can be seen that the whole book is relatively cool. There are several things that I personally appreciate about this book. First, the Zhu Yuanzhang in this book is very humane, which means that he is very much like a living person, not an image recorded in history and unofficial history, nor an image in TV series such as Ming Dynasty Fenghua, but a real, imaginary image of a living person who lived and communicated with him. Second, professionalism. The author of this book has a solid historical background, including some historical origins and the attribution of the causes and results of some events, which are all very reasonable and well-founded. When explaining the cognitive errors between official history and unofficial history, people will be amazed. It turns out that there is so much historical knowledge that we take for granted, but it turns out to be unofficial history. Third, the writing is good. Because this book is a refreshing novel, it tests the writing skills even more. In terms of plot design, it is invincible. The protagonist is like a saint with no desires and desires, but no villain. He wants both fame and money, and is both gluttonous and lustful. This vivid and contradictory image is a test of your skills. But my conclusion is that the protagonist is a successor of redism who is able to take care of himself when he is poor, and helps the world when he is successful. The protagonist wants to learn something useful, make a lot of money, make the Ming Dynasty last forever, leave a name in history, live a safe life and have a happy family, he wants to display his ambition. Empress Ma also plays a lot of roles. Compared with other works of the same type, Empress Ma in this book is more like a virtuous queen behind the emperor, rather than a vase and a simple symbol. Of course, this book also has shortcomings. The first is that it is too perfect. Like the second prince and the third prince, people with bad personalities who have long been confirmed in history are also portrayed in this book as quite endearing. This is inevitable writing. Because if we continue to follow the original track of history and write about them becoming bad and degenerate, it will be like throwing a piece of cake into this work. The second is that it is too far-fetched. The protagonist always thinks about it and takes out all the good things and uses them together. As a result, every time he uses them, he will say that the Ming Dynasty is too big, the treasury is too poor, there are too few scholars, and there are too many corrupt officials. Then every time, there were heads rolling in and blood flowing like rivers, but we should still be poor, because the protagonist's influence was only in the county where he took office, and the places where he took office later. It did not radiate to the whole country, so I felt it was far-fetched. Many of the policies proposed by the protagonist, as well as many new and good things, are actually unable to be promoted nationwide because of lack of money and lack of people. So when I read this book, I felt a big sense of contradiction, that is, the protagonist has already put forward so many good things in the length of 300 pictures, but in the end, Ming Dynasty should be so poor or so poor. The above is all my review of this book. Although it is 5 stars, my real score should be around 90 points. The reason why I don't give it four stars is because in Tomato, if I give it four stars for this kind of quality, it would be a bit too sorry for the author. So those who read the end of this book review should be able to understand that this work is not among the best, but it has its own advantages. It is still recommended to take a look, but it is difficult for you to get a glimpse of the beautiful Ming Dynasty from it.
Personally, I think the comedy contains some fascinating thoughts, such as what individuals should do at work. What requirements do leaders need, etc. The art of speaking
In fact, this book is good and the writing style is quite interesting. I read it with a relaxed attitude in the first half of the time. But the more you look at it, you will find that there are too many things to deal with. For a big machine, every change of a small screw will cause a huge resonance, not to mention there are countless screws and mechanisms waiting to be renovated at the same time... Oh my God, the pressure is so great, as if the screen is filled with to do's at work. List, and everything is marked with an urgent level of demand... It made me very anxious. The pressure of "lack of people, lack of money and lack of time" in the article is also transmitted to the readers (this does not mean that the author writes too vividly... Sigh)
