The Rise of the Middle Ages

I just read this book, and I roughly calculated that medieval aristocratic fiefdoms, manors < villages ≈ production teams < small castles ≈ villages < 2 to 3 towns ≈ counties < counties ≈ medieval provinces < prefecture-level cities ≈ medieval counties < 3 prefecture-level cities ≈ medieval principalities < two to three small and medium-sized provinces ≈ medieval French kingdom. The area should be about the same.

The book is okay, but the author's approach to ancient warfare feels a bit naive, and overall it seems slow. The cool points are not outstanding, it is very bland, and the plot is too slow. First, the bandits' combat effectiveness is deliberately elevated and the protagonist's combat effectiveness is belittled. I don't understand the point of the protagonist spending so much money. He might as well just recruit a bunch of refugees and replace them after they die. He spends so much money on training and equipping his army with military weapons day and night, but it's so difficult to fight even a bandit. I don't quite understand why it's so difficult for a soldier who has been trained and has certain protective capabilities to fight someone who has no protective capabilities and little training. If someone cuts you, you may not die, but if you cut someone else, it will easily cause serious damage. Second, the protagonist has wiped out so many bandits, and their total number far exceeds the protagonist's troops. So where did those people's weapons go? The protagonist keeps buying weapons and iron stones, but why are there so many defenders using sticks? Or will the bandits' weapons disappear automatically? Or do you use it once and throw it away? Or do bandits rob with sticks? Third, the way of fighting, when fighting bandits, they always say that they deliberately block the enemy's retreat in order to surround and annihilate the enemy. Don't you know that the trapped beasts still fight, which increases casualties in vain. The price you pay for each soldier's training and death is much higher than that of the bandits, and the cost is not cost-effective at all. Sun Tzu's Art of War emphasizes the importance of surrounding three and missing one, especially when attacking more with less, which often means fighting for morale. Forget it before, in Chapter 180, the protagonist has cavalry. When the enemy has the intention to retreat, he should deliberately open a retreat to let the enemy escape, and use the cavalry to pursue and cover up the enemy, because no matter how fast his infantry runs, he cannot outrun your cavalry, and the main force can easily solve or persuade the enemy to surrender. More importantly, when the enemy starts to run away, it means that the awareness of fighting is loosened, and the thought is no longer about fighting, but how to survive. This should be common knowledge in the history of war. I don't quite understand what the author thinks. So what if you wipe out all these enemies? Are there no other bandits? Increased casualties for nothing. Third, let soldiers and cadres buy shares in the company and participate in dividends. . . . I don't know what the author is thinking, and I feel powerless to complain. Do you know why no one has done this since ancient times, including modern times? Because this is a very simple truth. When a person has money, he will become more precious about his life. Although some people are greedy and desperate, most people are afraid of death and perish due to excessive greed and short-sightedness. The most typical feature of Shang Yang's reform is to exploit one hole, focusing on agriculture and suppressing business. If you want to change your destiny, you can only rely on farming and fighting, so it is evaluated that the people of Qin are not afraid of death but do not know why they live. There is also a system of monopoly and centralization to ensure the chief's right to speak. Collusion between officials and businessmen has been the target of attack in all dynasties, including now, not to mention collusion between military and businessmen. When the military and private parties have money, it will become difficult to manage. At a lighter level, corruption consumes the will to fight. At a more serious level, when the army has money, it will become independent and separatist, just like the border town rebellion in the Tang Dynasty. It was easy to incite rebellion when an enemy promised him a title of nobility. Also, under the ancient feudal system, it was not impossible for the family boss to bully the lord. To control an army, if the number is small now, you can still bullshit through personality charm, but if there are more, the protagonist will dig his own grave in advance.

All paid to watch, the writing is good, the author does not blindly push bugs to the "parallel world", but sincerely listens to opinions, writes seriously, and writes as truthfully as possible.

Highly recommended by a bookworm of 15 years, very beautiful! The logic is strict, the description is realistic, and the white text is the best, which is rare.

Recently, many book friends have commented that there are many poisonous points in the novel (especially in the early stage). I have built the first floor myself. I hope everyone can help find the poisonous points and pits. The author will try his best to detoxify and fill the pits.

Very cool. The author's ability to tell stories is very good, not cliche. Very few online novels nowadays can be read sentence by sentence, but I read the author's story very seriously, and the pleasure is very clear (growing up is a pleasure in itself, from a shabby house in a ravine to a knight's collar with a consul). Maybe the gold finger is not very big, but the sense of immersion is actually good. Come on, the author, support all orders on the shelves. (PS: I don't know when we will give Art a magnificent castle. It feels like the current wooden castle is leaking everywhere.)

This book is on the top of my bookshelf as an update reminder. If I promise the author to order it all, I will order it all. Keep writing and you will eventually become a god.

As soon as I paid the fee, I saw a poisonous spot. There were more than 30 elite soldiers in full armor but could not defend the more than 100 bandits. The author seriously misestimated the difference in combat power between the defenders and the siege forces with and without armor.

It's quite good. I read it in one sitting. I feel that the author is very attentive and down-to-earth. There is no cheating or anything like that. It's a very good medieval article. I recommend it to you. Come on.

The front is really nice. But after the twenty or thirty professional soldiers who relied on the military camp were beaten to death by a group of bandits who had no food to eat, their feelings plummeted. I regret subscribing to Chapter 20
