In 1601, the twenty-ninth year of the Wanli reign, Nurhaci conquered the various Jianzhou tribes one after another and established the Niru system, the forerunner of the Eight Banners, continuing his effort to unite the Jurchen.
That year, the famous missionary Matteo Ricci traveled north to the capital, beginning the final decade of his life.
The Dutch tried to occupy Penghu, while the Portuguese extended their influence into Macao.
The court had just concluded the Bozhou Campaign, but the dispute over the succession, which had raged between the emperor and the civil officials for more than a decade, continued.
Factional strife raged within the empire, while crises loomed beyond its borders.
At last, that year, Empress Dowager Li intervened, and the succession dispute seemed close to a decision.
But the arrival of one variable disrupted the fate of the realm: the empress was pregnant, and Wanli’s legitimate son was born.
Wherever the sun and moon shine, wherever the rivers flow, all is Ming territory!
The plot is good, but the age of the protagonist is set too young
I recently found a treasure! After searching for a long time, I finally came across a book that completely suits my taste. It is very well written, and both the point of view and the narrative are very gripping. I have been reading it for two hours without moving. I will definitely lend it to you when I finish it. It is definitely worth reading.
Chapter 24. I'm starting to lose my mind 🤔 The process is too simple 😄 "Dad, do you want to try a gun?" Discovering that the firearm did not have a match rope, Wanli was curious about how to ignite it and launch it. Hearing Zhu Changhong's suggestion, he readily agreed.
The writing is quite good, the explanation is clear, and many of the content evaluations are relatively true. They are not biased by the film and television content. I look forward to the follow-up. Good luck to the author.
Except that the prince is a bit too young, the other plot designs are very reasonable.
The flow was good. There was no fighting between Huang Zijian and the Wan Guifei in the harem. There was no action. It felt a bit logical. It was so smooth. It didn't feel that way anymore. The feeling of a palace fight scene was gone.
Very good. I have done a lot of research on the history of the Ming Dynasty.
Just because this book can point out the shortcomings of the One Whip Method, it should be supported. Zhang Juzheng's cabinet included the Supervisory Council and the Six Sections, which completely emptied the imperial power. Even if the emperor wanted to do things, he could only rely on the eunuchs. The One Whip Method was a fatal blow to the Ming Dynasty, and the people were miserable. The civil bureaucracy and gentry capital are madly sucking the blood of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor and the people are miserable. If the central government cannot centralize power and the localities become bigger, the Ming Dynasty will perish!
It's well written. Except it's too small. Why is the rating so low?
It feels good at first, but the technology tree is not very good. I hope it can be improved.
