It's so-so. Compared to typical Tang Dynasty novels, the research is detailed, but it has its shortcomings. Updates are slow, and the beginning isn't engaging. The protagonist, the younger brother of a powerful military governor, is humiliated in the street by a mere constable.
Map of regional military governors during the late Tang Dynasty
Map showing spheres of influence (This post will be updated as the novel progresses) Figure 1. Chapters 1 to X (tentative). The area within the red line was under the actual control of the Qing Navy (except for Liu Qian of Xinzhou). The five prefectures under Qiongzhou (Hainan Island) should be considered a remotely controlled territory.
The protagonist's personality is a bit childish! Also, the protagonist has an elder brother who holds real power as the military governor's heir. Everyone knows that his brother is raising the protagonist as his successor, and the protagonist still suffers so much. Don't bring up the idea of the subordinate overthrowing the superior.
Isn't the protagonist's brother a military governor? He's being trampled on the ground.
Good heavens, it's finished after 100,000 words!
I just saw this book; it was a recommended reading, and you're telling me it's finished? 😥
Everything else is fine, except for one thing. As the ancients said: "If a ruler is not discreet, he will lose his ministers; if a minister is not discreet, he will lose his life; if matters are not kept secret, they will lead to disaster." This is the origin of chaos. How many people knew about the protagonist's plan before he even set out?
Slow and steady wins the race. Author, don't rush the updates, keep up the quality, I believe in you! 🤭
Historically, only the commoner emperor of Huaixi has ever conquered the north by conquering the south. If the protagonist were to conquer the country by conquering the north and the south, he could also be called the ancestor of the ancestral way!
