A good book delayed by its name, a novel of the late Tang Dynasty, unsystematic, the writing style is light and funny, the father and son cheat on each other, the characters are vivid, and the family is a wonderful family. Every war in it is a historical fact, the second volume is about the Tang Dynasty versus the Uighurs.
The protagonist Shen Lie is a man from Shandong. He originally wanted to compete in the Central Plains, but he was afraid that the butterfly effect would affect the Shen family's ancestors. If something happened to his ancestors, he would be erased from history, so he never dared to set foot in the Central Plains. He led his slave brothers westward to the Western Regions, northward to Siberia, southward to India to get involved in the struggle for hegemony among the Rajput states, and then sent troops to Persia to severely defeat the Samanid dynasty. He originally wanted to guard and stabilize the northwest for the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, but the war in the Central Plains continued, so he had no choice but to head west. The Han people's infrastructure-mad genes engraved in their bones allowed him to preside over the construction of the Uighur Sayanling Great Wall in a stable place, and to build Russia's endless wall to expand the territory and defend the territory. His dominance across Europe and Asia spread as far as Japan. The Japanese mistakenly thought that he was the great border guard general of the Tang Dynasty, and included his territory into the Tang Dynasty. The map of the history of prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty: The Map of Ten Roads of the Tang Dynasty has been passed down to this day and is now in the Library of the Japanese Diet.

The protagonist goes to the late Ming Dynasty, fights local tyrants to divide their land, reestablishes a new system, and establishes a new Chinese empire.
A different world, full-scale high-energy war, grand scenes, in-depth details, and reasonable rhythm and plot! A great book that was completely put off by the title! At first, I thought it was Jin Tong's cool article, but after reading a few chapters, I realized that this rhythm is simply unstoppable. Each chapter is particularly touching, the plot is compact, there is no system, no boss, no virgin, they are all flesh and blood people!
After Wang Yanzheng, the founding king of the Fujian state in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, defeated the Fuzhou Army and the Wuyue Army, he went through various reforms without a system or golden finger. Change the land tax, completely abolish the capitation tax and corvee, take back private land and implement the land contract system, reform the commercial tax regulations, and recruit outside farmers, and the population will increase; use modern commodity thinking to create the Jiandong Economic Zone, promote commercial housing transactions, build roads on a large scale, and trial the circulation of banknotes, and the economic strength will increase dramatically; establish new schools, set up military academies to train elite soldiers, and implement military reforms, and the military's combat effectiveness will increase dramatically; Comprehensively build passes, fortresses and cities to protect the stability of Jianzhou. At the same time, Guangtun mines and reserves of grain will be used, and Taiwan will be used as a rear support, so logistical support will be worry-free. As the ancient saying goes, "The king appears in time to respond to the rising tide." During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there were constant disputes. King Yanxi of Fujian went against the grain, and Jianzhou's population, economy, combat power, and logistics had reached their peak. The country of Fujian should not have been controlled by cruel people. It should be restored to peace and prosperity.
"While others are writing about "proclaiming emperor", he is writing about "establishing people" - a northern epic that reconstructs China with potatoes and laws." If you open this work and expect to see the protagonist fighting for three years and proclaiming himself emperor for three years, please close the page. But if you are willing to witness a revolution that does not wash away the palace gates with blood, but completely reshapes the world; if you believe that the true kingship does not lie in burning books and harassing Confucian scholars, but in opening women's colleges, abolishing slave registration, and setting up orphanages; then, please enter this world where the sun hangs in the sky - there are no cool writing routines here, only how a potato can influence the national destiny for three hundred years. With amazing writing power, the author transforms the darkest moment after the Anshi Rebellion into an experimental field for the reconstruction of civilization. Li Qingtian did not rely on the system to defy heaven, but used the peace he had gained in exchange for the lives of four thousand soldiers to fulfill a promise: "Under my rule, the old will not be left homeless, and the young will not be left without food." So we see: Others write about war, but he writes about collecting the souls after the war: the corpses of the Yan army were burned to prevent plague, and the bones of the common people were wrapped in brocade and buried together in the "Anmin Tomb"; others wrote about power and strategy, but he wrote about establishing trust in the system: detailed public trials, dissemination of the "Edict of Loyal Ministers", and shaking up the scholarly community with "the commoner Yang family"; Others write about farming, but he writes about the recovery of people's hearts: children burying seeds beside graves, Hu Shang shouting "Peace in the north is better than Chang'an", old farmers kneeling with earth in front of them and saying "the spirit of the earth is not dead". The most shocking thing was not that the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry defeated the enemy, but that the 50,000-strong army circled the field ridge without stepping on a single spring wheat seedling. The character creation is even more unforgettable: Guo Ziyi is loyal but not stupid, and would rather borrow soldiers from the north than let He enter the pass; Pugu is gracious and sad but refuses to rebel, raising troops to clear the emperor's side but refusing to surrender to the north; Yang Mi writes in the name of "the common people of the world", and an edict can be written faster than a knife; Daizong abdicated on his deathbed, not because of coercion, but because he could not bear to shed another drop of blood in Chang'an. This book also hides a grand vision: from the Yingzhou Rebellion to the Anshi War, from Longyou and Tubo to the eastward expansion of food, the author reveals that the decline of the Tang Dynasty was not due to one thief, but because the entire system lost the ability to "make the people dare to believe in tomorrow." Li Qingtian's new policy was a response to this: opening women's colleges, abolishing slave registration, imposing potato taxes, setting up Changping free warehouses... Each policy directly targeted the root causes of the old world. Fantasy elements? The Buddha lotus in the left eye, the demon pattern in the right eye, the light sword hiding the devil's whisper - but these have never taken over the spotlight. They are just mirrors that reflect human nature: the greatest devil is never in the abyss, but in the human heart's despair for order. Finally, when Li Qingtian ascended the throne, he did not sit on the dragon throne. Instead, he stood under the jade steps and announced the five new policies. But the devil asked for a blood sacrifice, so he pushed open the palace door - outside the door was not a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, but the lights of the Wenhua Academy, the music of the night market, and the fresh green of the potato fields. "This is my blood sacrifice - to sacrifice the death of the old world in order for all people to live in peace." This is not a cool article, this is a tragic epic about mortals remaking China. It tells us: The real destiny does not lie in the prophecies of Tui Meibi, but in the moment when children dare to bury the seeds beside the grave; the real Great Wall does not lie in the bricks and stones, but in the people's aspiration that "the northern border is the Great Wall". If you long for a work that has the coldness of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" and the warmth of "The people are tired, but they can be well-off" in the Book of Songs; if you believe that the turning point in history often begins with a bowl of hot porridge, a new seedling, and the sentence "The north is here, the people have no worries" - then, please open this book. Because here, the gods and demons will eventually exit, but the human heart will never die! !

An imaginary history, no system, multiple female protagonists, clear logic, rich characters, rich plots, poor writing, hatred between the country and the family, courtship, laughter and tears, please appreciate it! [Like][Admiration][Like]
An epic apocalyptic war drama, this is a must-read novel for men. In the apocalypse, human nature will always be the eternal theme, but it is not limited to human nature.
Systemless, purely manly, with gunfire and bloodshed, possessed by a sniper god. The king of melee combat, chasing the enemy with blood and paying for it with blood, so refreshing! ! ! ,,
If you prefer Western fantasy where "heroes also have weaknesses", "Between Light and Shadow: The Cowardly Knight" will give you a different passion. There is no perfect protagonist here: before shooting, the elves will be so nervous that they clench the bowstring so tightly that their knuckles will turn white; the dwarves will pause their hammers if they think of their lost master when forging a sword; the protagonist, Sen Helkin, starts out as a small blacksmith in the Sunset Castle who hides when he sees a knight and can shake his sword into a sieve. Even if he is caught secretly practicing swordsmanship, he will throw the sword on the ground in a panic. His growth was all "endured": at Holy Mountain College, he was ridiculed by the nobles for having "hands softer than dough", so he got up early in the morning and chopped at tree trunks, and the calluses on his hands were worn out and grew longer; his partners in the "Heaven Defying Alliance" tried to protect him from being scratched by a monster, and for the first time he dared to rush forward with a rusty sword, even though his legs were still shaking; he faced the giant dragon that breathed flames and did not retreat - because behind him was the landlady who gave him hot soup, and the father who taught him how to make his first horseshoe. There is no ultimate move to destroy the world, only a story about a cowardly young man who turned his timidity into courage in a desperate situation where he was "so scared that he wanted to escape but couldn't". This sense of reality hidden in the swords and fireworks is more moving than any gorgeous epic.
Ask me why I refuse to retreat even if I fight to the death? Because all the brothers under my command are buried here, so why should I bear to be alone, and why should I cherish this life.
From the summer of the third year of Kangxi's reign, when a soul traveled through Manchuria and became Ilgenjueluo Xilun, to the spring of the 4405th year of the Yellow Emperor's calendar, Wei Han completed his legendary life. He rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, but he abolished the Ming Dynasty and established himself on his own; he expanded the territory, but he promoted constitutional government; he strengthened the imperial power, but also restricted it; he killed countless people, but he loved the people like his sons. His life was full of contradictions, but amidst the contradictions, he forcibly carved out a new path. He established an unprecedented empire: an area of more than 40 million square kilometers, a population of 500 million, four fleets traveling across the world, railway telegraphs taking shape, parliament and cabinet checking and balancing each other, women being able to take imperial examinations, and monogamous women entering the legal system... He set an unprecedented rule: the emperor must abdicate at the age of sixty-five. He left behind an unprecedented situation: the countries of Europe bowed their heads, India and the South Sea returned to the center, America and Australia were first opened, and the empire was at its peak. Now, he is gone. But what he left behind was a huge and vibrant empire with unprecedented territory, peak national power, and newly established institutions.
