What? You're saying the Central Asian warlords who flew the banners of the Su, Guo, Cao, and Qi clans, contended with the Arabs for the Middle East, and made the Rome-obsessed weep in 1453 were all Tang Dynasty princes?
What? You're saying the southern sea states that flew the flags of Wu, Min, Chao, and Yue, roamed the oceans with their giant fleets, and colonized lands across the seas were also Tang Dynasty princes?
Qi, Xue, Han, and Ji vie for dominance in the East China Sea.
Jin, Feng, Ying, and Shen lord over the northern deserts.
The princes of Huaxia contend for supremacy across the world, while countless sons and daughters of Han write epic tales of heroism.
Where the hell have I ended up? Is this still the Tang Dynasty?
So the butterfly's wings began stirring as early as the eleventh year of the Zhenguan era?
(The synopsis doesn't do it justice. Please read the story!)
It's really good! Let's see a different outcome for the Tang Dynasty, and see how the various princes cooperate to plunder and mine elsewhere, haha! I'm really looking forward to the next update! Author, I almost don't want to read it!
I've read the latest chapter, and it's very well written. I've wanted to read this type of novel for a long time—a story about feudal lords, modeled after European countries, with the Warring States period of China and its rivalry. Unfortunately, there are very few novels of this type. This author is the second best I've read, and the first one with such detail. Keep up the good work, author, and don't abandon the story!
Well written (*^ｰ^)👍 The best management scope of the prefecture-county system is the limit of transportation. Simply put, it is the limit of how timely government orders can be issued using transportation on a monthly basis. The core of the feudal system is to expand outward and transfer all conflicts outward. The author's setting is good and the writing is good, but I don't like reading it because I have only one question: Is it possible to achieve immortality?
How could an emperor dare to believe someone could foresee the future? If he did, he would be doomed. Throughout history, how many events have been predicted? The Spring and Autumn Annals style of writing doesn't make sense. Don't think the ancients were foolish; they were people who hadn't learned enough.
A grand narrative! During the Zhenguan era, feudal lords were enfeoffed, and various Chinese states vied for supremacy across the world. From the Western Regions to the Southeast Asia and beyond, the feudal system clashed with world history. The more you watch, the more captivating it becomes. I look forward to the protagonist stirring up a global wave of Chinese history. A grand narrative!
It's really great and makes up for a lot of regrets. The most regrettable thing about the Tang Dynasty is that it could conquer land, but it couldn't hold onto it. There weren't enough people, the officials were incompetent, and they couldn't handle things. If they had implemented the enfeoffment system back then, the Chinese could have occupied a lot of land. It's a real pity that the Ili River Valley was lost.
The Great Tang 40K: Starting from the Thousand-Year-Old Feudal Lords
It might be an ensemble piece, but it's very well written. Oh, there's one issue I need to pay attention to: some of the nouns or geographical locations are a bit difficult to understand. Either gradually transition to modern vocabulary later, or simply mention them in parentheses, or briefly at the end.
It could be very good, I have high hopes for it, but I feel it lacks a sense of enjoyment. I hope it can be more of an ensemble piece, and that time can be accelerated after Li Shimin's death. It also needs to include the perspectives of other vassal states, especially one that can depict the feeling of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. In addition, it needs to include some original characters.
Many historical novels end up set in feudal times, but very few online novels tell stories of feudal lords.
