It's obviously because of you that I changed, but I can't go back to the past.

The novella "Falling Clouds" has an ever-changing plot and a fierce battle between the enemy and ourselves, which truly reflects the cruelty of espionage warfare and the battle between ourselves and the enemy. At the same time, through profound emotional description and revelation of historical truth, the novel makes people feel the complexity of that era and makes readers think about issues about justice, morality and human nature.

The reason why the Anhui clique was able to rise to power quickly after Yuan Shikai's death was because of Duan Qirui's personal ability, which enabled it to gain numerical advantage and form the earliest and most powerful warlord faction of the Beiyang warlords. When the Anhui warlords were in power, Duan Qirui proposed "unification by force," hoping to use "unification" as a life-saving straw to drive officers and soldiers to risk their lives. However, the Anhui warlords, who were born with malnutrition and acquired developmental abnormalities, were simply unable to push forward the war machine. The "unification of force" did not help the Anhui warlords to arrive, but instead contributed to their premature decline. The Anhui warlords, who regarded themselves as orthodox Beiyang warlords, perished due to their arbitrary actions. For the Anhui clique, breaking the old order but trying to use the old order to maintain a new look is a self-contradictory line in itself.

Comparing the Anhui clique, which was waning at the time, and the Feng clique, which was still in its growth stage, it can be said that the Zhi clique has a lot of good cards and the best configuration. There is no doubt that the early Zhili warlords were formed based on the "Three Governors of the Yangtze River" and Cao Kun. They really arrived at DENGFENG after Feng Guozhang resigned. The "Three Governors of the Yangtze River" joined forces with the Cao family and publicly recommended Cao Kun as the leader of the Zhili alliance. At that time, the direct line controlled the important areas of the capital in the north and the prosperous hometowns in the south of the Yangtze River. It really needed guns and pay, and more importantly, Cao Kun also had a top-notch thug under him: Wu Peifu. Although the Zhili clique has always been powerful, it has never really dominated the political situation of the Republic of China like the Anhui clique. Zhili is more like a character who accompanies the prince to study, first with Yuan Shikai, then with Duan Qirui, and later with Zhang Zuolin, which somewhat means "the heart is higher than the sky, the fate is thinner than the paper". Perhaps this is the fate of a good boy: he may get 100% in every exam, but he may not be able to become the class monitor.

She fell in love with the CEO who had sponsored her for twenty years, but before getting engaged, she was told that he was the son of the enemy who killed her parents. To get back at him, she falls into a trap set by another man. Even though you hate me, you are the only one I love in this life. It was only after stumbling that I realized that love, hate, and hatred cannot escape the ever-changing hands of fate.

If you choose keywords in the history of the Ming Dynasty, "Jinyiwei" is a must-select. This is the earliest spy agency in China, from the beginning. Its tentacles spread to every corner of the dynasty. They are not imperial envoys, but they have more terrifying power than imperial envoys. They are the emperor's exclusive supervisory agency, reconnaissance agency, and the most effective action team. In the 276-year history of the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei became synonymous with secret censorship and special operations, and the power struggle between it and the East and West factories was even more shocking...

The history of the Fengtian warlords can be roughly divided into three parts: the first part is before the first Zhizhi-Fengtian War. At this time, the Fengcheng clique's warlords were more arrogant and managed their troops according to the green forest method. When fighting, they often rush up and down, which is purely a group fight; the second part is after the first Zhizhi-Fengzhi War. Later, Zhang Zuolin worked hard in the Northeast, and the army gradually became regularized. By the time of the second Zhili-Fengtian War, the Fengjun who entered the Pass was already an iron-clad force; in the third part, after Huanggutun, Marshal Zhang Xueliang took charge of the Northeastern Army. At this time, the Northeastern Army was no longer a warlord force, but a national revolutionary army. If we use an analogy, the Anhui clique warlords are a bunch of politicians, the Zhili clique warlords are a bunch of talented people, and the Feng clique warlords are a bunch of hustlers. If the Anhui clique warlords want to fight, they must first find someone to borrow money. Only when they have money, guns and an advantage can they dare to fight. The Zhili clique warlords hold a meeting first, discuss how to fight, and then order troops and send generals out to start the war. This is not the case for the Feng clique warlords. Zhang Zuolin only needs to pull out his gun and jump on the table, and Fengjun throws the wine bowl and picks up the guy to go out and do it. The Zhiwan warlords "fight after talking," while Zhang Zuolin said "fight after fighting," so among the Beiyang warlords, the only one who really relies on the barrel of a gun to speak is the Feng clan.
