A clever piece of writing about the late Ming Dynasty! The protagonist travels to Chongzhen and knows that he will lose if he fights hard. He decisively chooses to "move the capital and immigrate" to avoid the enemy's edge. He uses the strategy of "small cost but big effect" to integrate resources. He starts to save money from disinfectant water and sealed cans, and gradually builds an immigration empire that can compete with the back money. It's refreshing and reasonable, the characters are full-bodied, and there are no mindless tricks to create guns and push them flatly. The old book was unexpectedly completed, and the sequel takes over all the foreshadowings. Keep up the good work!

I'm curious if you can accept alternate history and western fantasy. The first one was written by Uncle Guan, and it is a semi-fictional version of the Tang Dynasty. The second book only partially focuses on the Song Dynasty, but its popularity rate is relatively low. The third book was completely empty and boring in the middle and late stages. It's better now, but the first half is really interesting. This is the fourth book in the Western fantasy genre. It is about Byzantium and can be enjoyed by those who have no foundation in the history of Western Europe and Byzantium. Five or six... It's not guaranteed in the late festival, and the longer I write, the more lengthy it becomes, but the front part is still very good.
