I really haven't found many good books lately, though plenty on my list are still updating. (Most were added gradually after I'd read them.) I'll finish some of my backlog before looking for new ones. Since I've read most of these, the list reflects my personal tastes pretty strongly. My preferences keep changing, too, so it's a bit of a mess 🤔. Please bear with me. (Though maybe hardly anyone looks at my list anyway.) Thanks to July for the joy your books brought me. I dedicate this to July, t

Don't lead readers on. I'll add some recommended books too, but if they're too short, there's barely enough to read twice. Please recommend any good books you kn

Looking back on my reading journey from 2004 to today. Recommending books comes second; reminiscing comes first.
Single or No Female Lead, Currently Reading, A Mixed Bag of Genres!
I've been reading for over ten years, too! I've personally sampled every book on this list. 1. I read a wide variety of genres, basically everything except romance. 2. Aside from historical transmigration stories where the protagonist becomes an emperor (but please, no romance), I only read stories with one or no female leads. I generally avoid so-called ruthless, dark stories, and I don't read stories with saintly protagonists either. The books I read tend to have fairly sensible values. 3. My

[Comment] The emotional scenes in this book are pretty good so far.
The country is uneasy and the family is uneasy. At the risk of the destruction of the country and the genocide, I still want to think that you are crazy and I am stupid. It's not like "our Qing braided dynasty" killed hundreds of rabbits and went to the south of the Yangtze River with nothing to do.
[Comment] The benefits of servants in the Ming Dynasty
In the Ming Dynasty, servants were equal to domestic servants and were privately owned. Why the generals in the Ming Dynasty all raised servants instead of soldiers? It lies in the privatization of servants. The generals quit, but the servants still belong to him and will not be deprived of them. The soldiers belong to the country, so the generals in the Ming Dynasty like to raise servants. The servants' weapons and supplies are of a high standard (compared to ordinary Ming soldiers), they are good at fighting, and they are loyal to their master, that is, the military commander. This is the prototype of a warlord. Therefore, when the protagonist becomes an official, he cannot turn his servants into soldiers, otherwise the ownership will change. If the protagonist apparently has two or three thousand servants who are good at recruiting and fighting, then the court must at least allocate one of his servants to the protagonist. And since the servants are all supported by the general himself and do not require any funding from the court, the court is also happy with this. As for the military, those civilian officials won't even think about it until they die. But if there are too many servants on the surface, the court will also doubt whether you are going to rebel, so having two to three thousand servants is enough. Li Chengliang is a typical representative among them. 😃
[Comment] In fact, I don't think it is recommended to build artillery.
If you go directly to Hale rockets, making cannons will easily lead to suspicion, but making rockets is different, and much simpler. This is also a question of thinking
Can't stand it bro
I've read a hundred chapters and I'm still unhappy A hundred households recruit 600 soldiers? Also bring firecrackers and cannons? Do you think the government is a fool? The second expansion of the army requires 2,000 troops per deputy qianhu? Just give Shangguan 1,000 taels and it will be done? With 2,000 people in court alone, the extra military pay allocated is more than a thousand taels. Are you kidding me? Making money all the time, no one cares about the industry? Stop talking. Are you kidding me that you have not paid business tax for charging so much money? Anarchism is at its extreme And building things is even more nonsense. If materials science is not improved at all, it will become a Mine bomb? Is it so easy to crush cement? Is the blast furnace temperature so easy to upgrade? It's a purely obscene article. I paid five yuan to come here and scold you. It's disgusting.
It was Chongzhen who hanged himself, and you feel that the Ming Dynasty was wronged. In fact, in the eyes of the Ming emperor, the peasants were not the "people" in his eyes at all. Scholar-bureaucrats and gentry were the "people". Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of Zhu Ming Dynasty, deleted (Mencius) "The people are the most valuable, the country is second, and the king is the least." Most emperors in ancient times knew that farmers were the cornerstone of everything, but Lao Zhu, the founding emperor, actually deleted them. It is not unreasonable that there were many traitors and traitors in the late Ming Dynasty. Hundreds of thousands of people were wiped out by the Qing Dynasty. Various massacres and massacres were carried out. Almost 10 million Han people died, half of them were killed by traitors. It was really not as good as the Song Dynasty. There was also the Southern Song Dynasty in the Song Dynasty. In the Southern Song Dynasty, such a small country resisted the Mongols for more than 30 years. In the Yashan naval battle, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians jumped into the sea with the little emperor. In the Ming Dynasty, traitors opened the door to welcome the Qing Dynasty to enter the country. The emperor of the Song Dynasty was a coward, but the Song Dynasty's army The people are bloody, and traitors were everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, so don't brag about the Ming Dynasty. Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism became popular in the Ming Dynasty, and women had no status at all. Even the names of the queens of the Ming Dynasty were not recorded. You can imagine how statusless women were. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were almost no harems for burials. Lao Zhu started harem burials again. Lao Zhu himself was a farmer, but he finally lost his true heart and only wanted to keep his family stable and prosperous for generations to come.
The general trend of the world, according to the author's logic, is basically what the people want. Just like TG back then, the people will follow whoever gives the people a good life. What's more, the life of the people in one province and nine towns in the book is far better than that in the liberated areas before liberation.
It seems too hypocritical and ridiculous to constantly argue with the old society about justice and orthodoxy
After conquering Japan for the first time, we should break out troops, then loot and torture everywhere, then occupy the capital and change dynasties, recruit surrenders and accept rebels, give the old army some weapons to fight against the Jurchens and Mongols, and the new army to consolidate the Central Plains and South China, suppress all disobedience, and grew up watching revolutionary TV dramas every day. If we rebel, we are professionals. In the occupied areas, we should equalize the land, develop culture and education (compulsory education + night school literacy classes + technical schools + military schools), develop people's intelligence, set up industry, and build infrastructure. Once we have a certain reserve of military and political talents, we will launch foreign colonial wars. We can't just fight everywhere with weapons that span the century. Vigorously promote one's political views, accept those who are docile to the people, and send those who are unruly to the labor camp. The samurai were able to recruit and surrender for several days, and repeatedly killed hundreds of thousands of their own peasant army and Jiangbei army. I don't know what the purpose was. They could have forced the prisoners of war to land and then sent them to Taiwan and Luzon to open up wasteland and mine. From a long-term perspective, be more tolerant towards people with oriental appearance and be cruel towards other foreign races.
Such a good book. Why are there a bunch of trolls, just for some trivial trolls, so it's all about the details. 😊

The middle and later stages of this book are the most enjoyable, as they have a certain logic and are not a piece of writing. Highly recommended, but I feel like I should have written another 1 million words to finish. People from all walks of life took turns to appear on the stage waiting to be slapped in the face, and the pig's feet and big mouth were slapped loudly. The only thing that feels unreasonable is the relationship with Chongzhen. Is the protagonist 0%-1% loyal to Chongzhen in modern times? Then become the queen and become the emperor yourself, and only then can you be justified. Otherwise, Chongzhen's urine would have killed the pig's feet long ago. It is too idealistic.
