    Killed many powerful Manchu warriors with one sharp gun, and created a century-old new world through several years of struggle! In the chaos of the late Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian committed suicide in Meishan in Beijing. His cousin Prince Fu Zhu Yousong proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing and changed his name to Hongguang. In the first year of Hongguang, Emperor Hongguang was captured and killed. This year, Zhu Lianbi, a modern special forces soldier, traveled through time and was mistaken for Hongguang's successor, General Fengguo. He was originally elected to supervise the country, but Zhu Lianbi was well aware of the dangers ahead, so he only accepted the offer of the King of Wu and commanded the army and horses of Fengguo, opened the Generalissimo's Mansion, and embarked on a low-key road to the restoration of the country. When Zhu Lianbi crossed, he carried a sniper rifle with 100 rounds of ammunition and a pistol with 30 rounds of ammunition. Originally, there were not too many bullets, but there were many dangers during the time travel, so I had to shoot frequently, and soon there were not many bullets left. However, Zhu Lianbi began to recruit Yan Yingyuan, a dead soldier from Jiangyin, and then regained the general Li Benshen, initially forming his own small separatist force. Zhu Lianbi knew very well that the foundation of the Ming Dynasty lay in the south of the Yangtze River, so he cultivated the south of the Yangtze River and allowed other Zhu clans to proclaim themselves emperors one after another. They became a thorn in the side of the Qing Dynasty and were destroyed one after another. Zhu Lianbi resolutely pursued the strategic policy of "accumulating grain widely and becoming king slowly" and gradually established a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River. Zhu Lianbi trained his troops hard and conquered Zheng Chenggong, Jin Wang Li Dingguo, the former Nanming Dinghai Shenzhen, who became the king twice, Li Zicheng's old troops represented by Mrs. Gao, etc., And their strength was greatly strengthened. When confronting the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, he was good at planning and dared to fight tough battles. Every time he encountered numerous dangers, he managed to avoid danger again and again, leaving the Manchu and Qing Dynasties deeply fearful. In the final counterattack, Wu Sangui was forced to death, Shunzhi was captured alive, and he successfully regained his sight! During the battle, he met a generation of famous prostitutes, the determined Li Xiangjun, Dong Xiaowan, Liu Rushi, Chen Yuanyuan and others. Their company formed a series of small stories in this book. This book is good at descriptions of battles. It is neither wordy nor showy. It starts from the battle and continues to focus on expelling the Manchus and restoring the Ming Dynasty. It seems to be a straightforward narrative, but the battle process is very open and close, and it is not limited to the gains and losses of one city or one place, showing Zhu Lianbi's extremely high tactical literacy; the specific battle descriptions are rich and delicate, and the plot is twists and turns, fascinating, and you can't bear to let go. It keeps your interest intact and allows you to read from beginning to end in one go. It is a rare and refreshing article without any system! At the end of the article, Zhu Lianbi issued the super-confident slogan "Anyone who attacks our Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away". This is also the most true portrayal of his journey from scratch to something; from weak to strong; from failure to final victory! There are not many truly good novels, so I highly recommend this article and share it with everyone who loves the history of the late Ming Dynasty!

Here is a summary of the advantages and disadvantages of this book: Advantages: 1. The main character has no system and has brains. He started from a humble beginning by relying on his military exploits and being recognized as the son of a small aristocratic family. The character of the protagonist is not a virgin but not cruel and bloodthirsty. It is more in line with the three views of a modern person who travels to ancient times and integrates into the ancient environment while retaining normal humanity. 2. This is not a Romance of the Three Kingdoms version. All historical characters, supporting characters, personalities, abilities, origins, places of appearance, ages and timelines respect official history and are logically rigorous. The author has a very good understanding of the history, society and humanities from the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period. 3. Good at politics, even the opponents and supporting characters are not smart, and the plot advancement is reasonable and rigorous with twists and turns. Disadvantages: 1. There is a lot of slow-burning preparation in the early stage. It is not suitable for readers who like to watch pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, or relying on the system to solve difficult difficulties. The audience is destined to be relatively narrow. 2. The descriptions of important and unknown characters to readers who appear little or even never in romance novels from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty or the Three Kingdoms period are richer and more exciting. It is easy for readers who like the popular counselors and generals of Wei, Shu and Wu to lose their patience before the popular characters appear. They feel that the author writes too much about "little characters" in the early stage, which leads to the misunderstanding that the author does not pay attention to them, otherwise their favorite seed players will appear prematurely. 3. The plot part has many twists and turns and foreshadowing. It is difficult to guess the direction of the plot reversal if you don't see what happens later. It is not suitable for impatient viewers to understand the full intention of the protagonist's strategy.
