Many people feel "estranged" when reading history - because the time is too far away and the context is too different. But this work dissolves this gap. The author constantly uses the vocabulary of today's people to "translate" the situations of the ancients, and uses the confusion of today's people to "empathize" with the choices of the ancients. You suddenly discover that the ancients were just like us - they were entangled, impulsive, regretful, and dreamy. History becomes intimate.

Written based on historical events and myths and legends, it just meets your needs. The author is a stitch monster, but he explains a lot of things. For example, the following excerpt is from Chapter 133. . Di Xin went to the west to fight Odin alone, then gouged out one of his eyes and gave it to Wen Zhong. Then Odin brought people to take revenge, and Wen Zhong went on an expedition to the North Sea. Li Guantian nodded thoughtfully: "I didn't expect that the battle between Guifang and Guifang would have such follow-up." After a while, he continued to read the "Supplement to the Immortal History". Of the remaining records about the Shang Dynasty, the most important is naturally about the affairs of King Zhou and Emperor Xin. The book mentions that Emperor Xin, King of Zhou, was indeed very brave and talented in his early years. After inheriting the power of destiny, he not only personally led his army to conquer the foreign tribes in the East many times and opened up territories. At the same time, it also suppressed several violent formation backlashes in the Dongyi Land. The process was brutal, and there were even records of "burning demon bones to suppress the earth's veins, and blood sacrifices for thousands of miles." It can be seen that some formations at that time had collapsed to a very serious level. Li Guantian didn't care much about these contents. After all, with the decline in the cultivation level of monks in the past generations, if you want to continuously produce abnormal movements, you will naturally have to pay a heavier price. However, the next paragraph surprised Li Guantian. "King Zhou went to the west alone and fought with the Western 'god king' Odin. He took one of his eyes and gave it to Taishi Wenzhong. Later, Odin joined forces with seventy-two foreign tribes from the north, including Yuan Futong, and personally led an army to conquer merchants and take revenge." "King Zhou heard about this and ordered Wen Zhong to lead an army to conquer." "Odin..." Li Guantian couldn't help but murmur to himself. Naturally, isn't this the god king in Nordic mythology? Could it be that those Western myths and legends are also true? Li Guantian pondered for a moment and immediately confirmed this guess. Since the Spirit-Destroying Formation covers the entire Blue Star, this book does not contain any record of the Dragon Kingdom's sages going to the West to suppress and repair the Formation Eyes. This shows that there must be immortal cultivators in the West who are doing the same things as the sages in the East. But why did King Zhou go to the west to fight Odin and gouge out another person's eye? There was no record in the book, so Li Guantian did not make any more guesses. However, he was still quite surprised by this incident. He had heard a saying before that Wen Zhong's expedition to the North Sea was a battle with Odin. His third eye was the trophy of that battle. Unexpectedly, this incident turned out to be true, but there were some discrepancies in the details.

Don't miss it if you don't like exaggerated and Machiavellian plots. There is no forced villain in the book, and everyone's position has reasonable reasons. The weak prince deliberately hides his edge, the internal guards secretly record the movements of all parties, the intelligence dealers travel to all parties to find clues, multiple perspectives are spliced to complete the court situation, and the foreshadowing is laid out delicately. Looking back, you will find that many early details are useful.

When the modern soul falls into the crisis of Nanming, let's see Shen Weizhen turn the tide with his worldly talents. From the power struggle in the Fuzhou court to the raging wars along the eastern Zhejiang coast; from the battle of blood and fire in southern Jiangxi to the fierce battles on the Northern Expedition. He organized the army and practiced military prowess, promoted new policies to stabilize people's livelihood, and united with generals Zheng Chenggong and Li Dingguo, as well as the rebel army and chieftains, to finally defeat Yanjing, restore Liaodong, and rebuild the Ming Dynasty. The turmoil in the court, the fleeting life and death on the battlefield, and the integration and symbiosis of the nations are intertwined into a magnificent ZTE epic. When the dust settled, Shen Weizhen stood on the top of Zijin Mountain, looking at the sun and moon, and finally lived up to his innocent heart of "rebuilding China"! ! ! !
