In 256 BC, in Peixian County, a bastard named Liu San was born.
There is no vision or destiny. His father is just a farmer and his mother is an ordinary peasant woman. If there is anything special about him, it is probably that this child has not liked working since he was a child, but he loves drinking very much, and he never pays for drinking.
Just such a person later established a dynasty that lasted for four hundred years.
This book is about this.
From Liu San drinking on the streets of Peixian County, to leading a group of laborers to Lishan Mountain, half of them ran away, and he simply ran away; from hiding in Mangdang Mountain with a group of fugitives, to rising up in chaos, fighting with Xiang Yu for four years, and finally he was the only one left standing.
He might not even be able to remember how many people died, how much blood was shed, and how many knives he took.
But he won.
What happens after you win? The son failed to live up to expectations, the wife was too strong, and the heroes had to be dealt with one by one. When Jiang Shan got up, he realized that this thing was much harder than defeating it.
After that, there were Emperors Wen, Jing, and Wu, the Silk Road, the wolf lord Xu Xu, Chinese characters, Chinese people, and the Chinese language—these things we take for granted today all came from a huge gamble by that bastard.
Finally, Wang Mang and Guangwu were dispersed in the third quarter of the Han Dynasty, four hundred years later.
This book tells a very serious story in an informal way.
Concept: In troubled times, bastards can also change history
