I have been following this book for a long time. It was mediocre at first and the writing was also flawed. Fortunately, the logic was clear, so I read on—— As I read the second volume, I became more and more interested in it. Everyone is growing up. The author's writing style is pure narrative style, and the historical figures are not stereotyped. They are not written according to the traditional writing method. Each character is doing what they think is right, and everyone has flesh and blood. The bad guys I thought and the good guys I thought were all subverted, and the author did not write randomly. I did check the information and compare it. In short, it is worth reading and recommending—— I finally finished it, and I saw that the author is finally going to open a technology tree, and it is also a local technology - yes, many people have ignored me when writing books. I am the most wonderful book in China, so please give it a try 💪 I will continue to follow up on the review. I have finished reading it and have many feelings. I am looking forward to the author's new book.
The overall reading experience of this book is very good. The rhythm of the story is well controlled, and the characters are vivid and three-dimensional. Each character has his own personality and growth line, and it does not seem thin and empty. The foreshadowing of the plot is clever, the echoes are natural, the plot has its ups and downs, details are hidden in the dull areas, and the climax is full of tension, making it easy for people to get involved in the emotions. The text is smooth and delicate, with no redundant and procrastinating expressions, and the concept is very profound. It will make people think deeply after reading it. It is suitable for both casual reading and detailed reading. It is worth reading in full. It is recommended to readers who like this kind of subject matter.
Great writing skills and solid knowledge! Highly recommended! The beginning is "Hell Mode", don't play imaginary! As soon as I came up, I threw you into Shuangshan Fort in Yansui Town in the seventh year of Chongzhen. Cold, pragmatic and passionate! Just look at the catalog and you will see that it is very fast-paced and full of useful information! The protagonist is not a high-ranking official, but the "guard station" system at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty's military system. The soldiers here are not regular troops, but more like serfs and cannon fodder enslaved by officers. The guard ran away directly, and the Mongolian cavalry arrived. This "sky-collapse opening" is very gripping, making people immediately feel the sense of urgency that the border defense in the late Ming Dynasty could be finished at any time. The battle description is solid: sometimes several consecutive chapters are filled with high-intensity battles, such as camp hijacking, surprise attack on Gaochang, deadly battles, decisive battles... The author does not let the protagonist show off by reciting poems or making modern inventions (such as making glass soap), but actually fights bayonets and engages in tactics on the snowy field. I like to read this kind of book that has strict logic and is not like the Holy Mother. It relies on IQ and ruthlessness to fight its way out in troubled times. It is worth pursuing! ! 👍 Looking back, the author wrote about the despair in the late Ming Dynasty so realistically! I read the heavy feeling of powerlessness, the logic is clear, and the writing is smooth! A great piece of work, I admire the great writing power and structure!
I lost track of time while chasing books! It was the first time I watched it and I was so immersed in it. The plot was so gripping. The tragic environment at the beginning, the solitary general, the details, descriptions, characters, the protagonist Lu Wenzhao, the generals, and the soldiers and civilians who opened up the wasteland were all vivid and vivid. I forgot whether there was a skip in the middle. Anyway, I have now caught up with the chapter of Mianyang. I admire the strategy of the governor, step by step, and all the strategies. If you win, you should first care about your subordinates who died in battle and care about the suffering people. This kind of heroic style and compassion for all living beings are very rare in the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty when human life was regarded as nothing. It has weight, warmth, and makes me empathize. My cultural level is not good enough and I can't write what I want to say. This long historical article is really good! I usually like to write paragraph reviews, but I was too involved in watching and forgot to write. In fact, my reading comprehension of classical Chinese is average. After watching, I guessed it. It is just like watching a TV series. I write, and I am afraid of making jokes. Haha, it is a great enjoyment to follow the article. It is really the first time that I stayed up late to catch up. I can't stay up anymore. Good night, I must give it a five-star rating. Thank you to the author! Details, reversals, contrasts, battles to the death, shocking. I was so engrossed in watching it that I forgot to comment. When I saw King Li Chuang, I just wanted to say that winning the political power may not necessarily win the world. The writing is smooth and the logic is clear! The writing is solid.
After reading this book, I feel that it is different from the mainstream Ming Dynasty books. The framework is quite large and the plot is very passionate. I think it is very good, so I would like to give it a good review. To summarize this book - in the complex background of the late Ming Dynasty, the author wrote a different story. Not sensational, not brainless, not inflammatory. He used his own narrative perspective to make it clear that in the rotten era of the late Ming Dynasty, no one was a pure bad guy, and no one was a good guy. Such as Yuan Chonghuan, Xiong Tingbi, Li Rusong, a group of Liaodong generals. This is like rebellion, this is like the imperial court, this is like the sect, this is like the Jiangnan gentry - each of them is doing what they think is right.
An eye-catching opening chapter! It has a special sense of painting and a refreshing rhythm! The details are real! Those who are poor, shabby, simple, courageous, passionate... The growth line of the protagonist Lu is very clear. It is one of the best novels I have seen in the late Ming Dynasty. It is very long, but there is no fault in the structure. It is a pleasure to read. The author's writing style is simple and concise, and his ability to control super long novels is amazing👍🏻! This book really writes about how there are no good people in the late Ming Dynasty, and everyone is doing what they think is right. The author writes fluently and has clear logic. The characters are well described, and the scenes are detailed, without much love and romance. Seeing Chongzhen's efforts and inability, I just want to say that he was not born to be a subjugated king. He was just born in the wrong era, and there is a tragic feeling that he tried his best but it was useless.
You will make money if you read it. The group portraits and plot advancement of this historical novel are really great. The author's writing style is very solid, and he writes deeply about the sense of suffocation in troubled times and the difficulties of the people at the bottom to make a living. The rhythm of the story is steady and steady, with no absurd plot to achieve success in one step. It all relies on the online IQ game between the supporting character and the protagonist and the clear use of the situation. Each character has his own little ninety-nine and shining points, not just a background. This kind of writing method that reveals the true meaning from the subtle details really touched me. The whole book is grand and yet delicate. It is definitely a masterpiece of conscience in recent times. Brothers, please feel free to read it. Nan Ming is full of regrets.
It is rare to see a good piece of writing from the late Ming Dynasty that is rooted in the grassroots guardhouse. It is not suspended or mindless, and it truly restores the desperate situation of the military households in the late Ming Dynasty. The sense of immersion is directly filled with you. The protagonist Lu Wenzhao strives for survival step by step, rectifying the abandoned guard station, clearing wasteland to stock up on food, improving ordnance, resisting Tatars and bandits, farming and training soldiers, and strategizing games in parallel. The logic is all online, and the strategy is very enjoyable to watch. There is no forced pleasure of crushing all the way. Every victory and every expansion of power are well prepared. The battle scenes are full of details and the atmosphere of weapons fighting is full. The characters are brilliantly created, and the loyal subordinates, suffering refugees, and corrupt officials are all vivid. The protagonist cares about the military and the people. He will first care for the dead and wounded after winning the battle. The pattern is warm. The author has solid research on the Ming Dynasty's health system, and the depressing feeling of broken mountains and rivers in the last days is very well written. The rhythm is tight and appropriate, and it gets higher and higher as it goes on.
I followed dozens of chapters in one breath, and I haven't seen such a solid Ming Dynasty article in a long time! There is no system, no golden finger at the beginning. The protagonist starts out as a frontier guard in the bitter cold land of northern Shaanxi, farming, training troops, and building cities. Every step is on the tip of a knife. It is so real that it is suffocating. The author's description of the struggles of the lower-class military households is so poignant. The resilience of struggling to survive in desperate situations is heart-warming and heart-wrenching to watch. There are no routines for Shuangwen, but it is better than Shuangwen. This kind of slow but steady rise is what the late Ming Dynasty should have! Looks good, keep chasing! ! !
"Starting from the Guards in the Late Ming Dynasty" focuses on the lower-class military households outside the Great Wall in northern Shaanxi and restores the most realistic struggles in troubled times. A strong sense of historical atmosphere hits your face. The author's writing is solid, the group portraits are three-dimensional and vivid, and the supporting characters each have their own positions and thoughts. The rhythm of the plot is relaxed and relaxed, the foreshadowing is exquisite, and the tenacity of the little characters to survive in desperate situations is deeply portrayed. It does not rely on cheating to attract attention, but only relies on the down-to-earth path of rise to affect readers' emotions. The elements of farming, military, and political strategy are naturally integrated. Worth recommending.
