   From a young boy in Haozhou to a founding hero of the early Ming Dynasty, this is the true story of Hongwu's rise to power! Forget those simplistic Ming Dynasty novels where characters are immediately made kings and Emperor Zhu becomes a devoted fanboy! This book, *The Great Ming: My Younger Brother Chang Yuchun, a Founding Hero*, truly captures the bloody struggles of the Hongwu era. The protagonist, Chang Yulin, Chang Yuchun's younger brother, is a modern-day soul who transmigrates to the present day at fifteen, with only historical memories as his advantage. Without a system, without miraculous medicine, and even having to speak cautiously for fear of being seen as a monster, he climbs the ranks step by step entirely by predicting the political situation: - He follows Chang Yuchun from Haozhou to Jiqing, presents a method for improving firearms, and distinguishes himself in the fierce battle of Poyang Lake. - He navigates between Zhu Yuanzhang, Guo Zixing's former subordinates, and the nobles of Huaixi, protecting the Chang family from countless open and hidden attacks. - On the way to the Northern Expedition, he procures provisions and devises tactics, managing to change Chang Yuchun's marching route and avoid the death of Liu Hechuan. - After the founding of the country, he navigates the court, neither getting involved with Hu Weiyong nor succumbing to Lan Yu's arrogance, protecting the entire Chang family's safety. The book's pace is fast, from the struggle for power at the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the grand conferment of titles on meritorious officials in the third year of Hongwu's reign, every step is on a historical juncture, yet the protagonist's intervention creates entirely new changes. The war scenes evoke the brutality of ancient battlefields, while the political intrigue possesses the oppressive atmosphere of the Hongwu era. The protagonist isn't an overpowered genius; every attempt to change fate comes at a price, yet the more you read, the more addictive it becomes. Fans of solid historical fiction and those who enjoy stories about founding a nation shouldn't miss this. Search the title on Tomato Book for more information—it's a non-stop read, getting increasingly exciting as you go on!

    These are the books worth reading two or three times. Langya needs no introduction; it's like drinking strong liquor, very exciting, but its downside is that sometimes the logic becomes illogical in the excitement, like remembering dozens or hundreds of mistakes made by the Minister and the flawless strategy. Jiuzhou is more like sipping fine tea; the logic is smooth, the writing is good, and many of the insights are spot-on. Its downside is the slow pace, too many ensemble characters, and too many subplots. Like Game of Thrones, sometimes just when you're getting into it, it abruptly jumps to another plot.
