   This book is also about the changing tide of the Ming Dynasty, and it is about the Southern Ming Dynasty. The author has certain ambitions, and it can be regarded as the beginning of the collapse of the sky. It has no history, no plug-ins, and essentially relies on power. The protagonist has a certain understanding of the future historical direction and can avoid it. Relatively speaking, I think the advantage is that the author has his own understanding of the war methods in the late Ming Dynasty. The war he writes is not a simple article. It is relatively layered and rhythmic, which is good.

The Ming Dynasty we see is just the tip of the iceberg. We are just the tip of the iceberg, which is enough to prove that this is not what it looks like.

    🎊The first book🎊A boss who has joined the army, worked as a history professor and then went into business (the protagonist has rich experience in his previous life) time travels and becomes a scholar during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. He has no system and only relies on his life experience in his previous life. The top scholar in high school enters the court and starts making trouble. ✨Second Book✨The protagonist travels through time and becomes Zhu Yunxi, the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang and the second son of the late Crown Prince Zhu Biao. Although he is an orthodox member of the royal family and his grandfather is Chang Yuchun, King of Kaiping, how does he survive in the treacherous palace of Boyun with both his parents dead? 🎉The third book🎉This protagonist is also an unsystematic time traveler. The good news is that he is the son of Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty. The bad news is that he is the second Han king Zhu Gaoxu, that is, the unlucky prince who was roasted by his great nephew Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji. This family really doesn't have a single fuel-saving lamp!

    Reader note

    Yes, but the Ming Dynasty should be established by the protagonist himself. Traveling through the late Yuan Dynasty, there was no system, heroes competed for the throne, science and technology rejuvenated the country, and muskets fought against the flow of cavalry. I hope that readers who are interested in this book can read it patiently. The content is not boring at all, and the pace is relatively fast, which is in line with the genre of refreshing writing... However, some stupid readers can't stand it. They start to curse before they see the end, and even make reports. As a result, the novel cannot be modified for a long time, and the traffic has been limited. There are some people in Tomato, who are really innocent and sick. (Try to come to Shuhuang to recommend it. If it doesn't work, I don't want to write anymore. At worst, I will just open a new book.)
