Stubborn Thief

To be honest, among the many historical texts of the late Ming Dynasty, this book is eye-catching. Excluding cool articles, today's historical articles have gradually begun to abandon superficial descriptions and begin to describe history in more detail. This is a good thing. At least it will not make readers fall into such superficial descriptions as starvation and cannibalism. Detailed descriptions often make people more empathetic. As for the criticism of the plot of rolling on the ground, we need to understand the basis. The book is in the eighth year of Chongzhen, not the fourteenth year. The Ming Dynasty is still not exhausted, and can still organize a huge force to stalemate and counterattack Liaodong and the peasant army. For the peasant army, the Ming Army is still a behemoth. At this time in history, the peasant army was still fighting guerrillas all over the mountains and plains in the northwest. With the strength of the protagonist, it was unable to establish a stable base in the Han Dynasty, so it was the best choice to go to the frontiers in order to develop. There is also the problem of slow pace. In fact, for a behemoth like the Ming Dynasty, the snake swallowing the elephant will definitely push itself to death, so the protagonist makes the same choice as the Manchu Dynasty, slowly bleeding the Ming Dynasty with one knife, and waiting for the Ming Dynasty to collapse. Northwest and Liaodong are the two sores on the Ming Dynasty. If we act too hastily, we will not end up with Japanese pirates. Coupled with the author's more detailed description, it seems that water is inevitable, but this is also its unique aspect in historical texts. At least this article is logically self-consistent. If I have to complain, I can only say that the author is a little slow in updating, but I would rather update a little slower. I personally don't want this work to fall into the same weird circle as other historical works, thus losing its potential as a fine product. Just slowly mature it.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​OUT When I first read the time-travel novel, I thought it was a Spanish phalanx plus Lingbao, plus history. I thought it was very good. I haven't read much of it in the past 10 years, until I encountered the story of Seizing the Deer. I have read half of Kaihai. The layout is too big, so I will not read the later Battle of the World. However, this book, with 150 chapters so far, makes me think it is the best time travel novel in the past 10 years from Qidian.           1. The writing style is delicate and the line drawing technique depicts the desolation of the end of the world. In the opening chapter, the author uses a lot of line drawing techniques to outline the drought and famine in northern Shaanxi in the late Ming Dynasty. Like reportage, people are deeply immersed in the scene of more than a dozen people living without people and starving for thousands of miles. Natural disasters, then man-made disasters, and finally the collapse of the system, people are in it and just want to live in the present. No one is naturally willing to go against the system. Behind every person who goes against the system is a tragedy. There are few time-travel novels that depict the background of the times with such compassion and compassion. Second, the layout is reasonable and can be summarized in one word, which is "true"!                                                                                                                                          The protagonist is a golden finger when he comes, and he becomes a group of followers casually, who can brainwash people casually, and make plans to become the emperor casually. Nonsense, street stall articles have become the mainstream of online articles. How sad? As a time traveler, except that you know the future and have modern knowledge, it is actually useless. So what if you know the future? Can you make people believe that the future you say is the future just by relying on your words? Take real estate for example. In the past few decades, Ren Dapao was always shouting about rising house prices. How many people really bought it at a low price? House prices have been rising for 30 years, and experts and scholars have been bearish for 30 years, until now they have officially peaked due to uterine protests.        ，，，，，，       ，， The latter incident slowly fermented, causing the protagonist's thoughts to begin to change, and the people around him were forced to resist with him. Natural and man-made disasters, officials force people to rebel, they have no choice but to rebel! The first 50 chapters may seem dull, but they are actually the essence of the entire novel! This is a reasonable time travel story. Third, the war scenes are real. The author's war truly restores the army of the late Ming Dynasty. The protagonist has no golden fingers and uses the tactics of the late Ming Dynasty to fight. This is a big improvement for time travel literature! I have always thought that golden fingers are obscene! You use the Spanish phalanx and firearms. This is a large system project that cannot be completed without several years of good training, because this is a new system, just like our army spent 40 years after the Vietnam War to modernize its army.                                       You can just talk and let people master advanced military memorials and then crush everything?                                                                                                                                                                                              There must be a moderation in sexual intercourse! Therefore, I think the protagonist's use of the border army's tactics is eye-catching, and it fully restores the excellence of the Ming army's firearms. Time travel, but no golden fingers! I can only say! Praise! ! ! ! It makes me feel like I'm not reading a novel, but a history book! Come on, win the Luhou! There are not many people who write carefully in this impetuous era.

To be honest, the writing is really damn good 👍

The writing is good and it's doable, but the sense of immersion is poor (the memories of the time-travelers are swallowed up by the natives and cannot be replaced). The main character is either a native or a time-traveler. This still makes me feel immersed in it. As long as I don't feel the sense of immersion, I really don't want to continue reading.

{"NickName":"Deer Hou","UserId":213640831}, I like to speak, please show it to the author. The late Ming Dynasty was a special era. Starting from Jiajing, the entire Ming Dynasty government officials began to become rotten. How could they be so rotten? There are all officials who do not accept bribes, there are all military attaches who do not seek support from civilian officials, and there are all cabinets who do not know how to please the boss. After going through the torment of a Machiavellian villain like Jiajing, everyone has become an expert in this field, but it is okay now, at least most of them still accept money to do things, and things can basically be done for you. By the time of Wanli, it was completely ruined. Even the emperor didn't care about the family. How could he still expect the ministers to be attentive? The collective was in ruins. Without Li Chengliang and Qi Jiguang, Liaodong would have been out of control decades earlier. The most important thing is that Wanli allowed the eunuchs to cause harm to the world and mess up the world's finances. At least he bears some responsibility for what happened after Shaanxi. Don't exaggerate Wei Zhongxian. He completely overdrafted the credit of the Ming Dynasty government. His mischief made it impossible for the Ming Dynasty to collect money, so it could only continue to increase the burden on the people. The Carpenter Emperor was an ordinary emperor. When he arrived at Chongzhen, he was just messing around, without the responsibility of being an emperor. He followed his own temper, killed many loyal ministers and good generals, and harmed many people's life-saving straw.

March 2023 AD is a good day for Duan Ke2333. The little kid in the back of my mind came up again and asked, "Is the book review you wrote for Marshal Liu Chengzong good?" I said "no". He warned me again, "It's better to hurry up and write, you have already sacrificed two mobile phones." Actually, that's not entirely true. After holding back this book review, I sacrificed not only two mobile phones, but also nine main votes and more things that cannot be quantified... When I first met Liu Chengzong, he was a young man who rose up in anger just for food. It can be seen that when the elders meet and greet each other: "Have you eaten?", It really has the grand and profound meaning of historical practice, and it makes me awe. Unlike today's era of coffee and perfume, it is easy to be obsessed with the unbearable pain and itching of "the unbearable lightness of life" and moan unintentionally, so as to be indifferent to the indomitable blue-blooded heart that traverses mountains and rivers, proud of snow and frost, in the journey of civilization. At that time, I fell in love with the local young bandit King Liu who was solid but not showy, sensational but not embarrassing, logical in his actions, ruthless and humorous. It's not dry, it's beautiful, smooth, and silky, so it's a rare book to read. But everything usually requires trial and error, so I coded half of the book review on my phone, and it was an unexpected blessing. I got the new phone, but this account is still hard to access. I had no choice but to call the customer service, and unexpectedly rescued the old account that had been sinking for many years, but the bookshelf was completely changed. I was still young at that time, and my thinking was rough. I accidentally made a promise to the passing meteor: I will have a good time after this book has a hundred new chapters. As a result, I was careless. Then the spring and autumn came and went, and when the promise was fulfilled, half of the book reviews from that year were left with only one or two vague sentences. Then, I had a great time watching it, and the content was dazzling and satisfying: the promising young bandit leader has evolved into a regular army, his official position has become bigger and bigger, and he also kindly works part-time as the Great Khan of the Northwest People, and is deeply loved by people of all ethnic groups. From this point of view, if people can have enough to eat, get married, build a house, and live a prosperous life, they should be supported by others. This is the kingly way. While sighing with emotion, the heart of book reviewers is stirring again. Afterwards, my thoughts were as crazy as coding words, sometimes I was looking ahead and sometimes I was behind, and sometimes I was lost in clouds and mist and strayed thousands of miles away from the topic. After watching it, I felt sweat dripping down my back. After cooling down, I secretly exclaimed that I was in danger. Then continue to correct yourself. For a while, the narrow path becomes dim and bright, and for a while, it becomes overwhelming. Then, I feel like I can still keep the few words of the title, and I struggle to say that it's hard to reach the sky. Soon, there was a crisp sound in the world of mortals, and the screen of my phone shattered into darkness. I woke up in a state of renunciation and speechlessness. God's will is irresistible, so post the book review as soon as possible, otherwise I don't know what I will continue to sacrifice. The Mediterranean is all light. So, it doesn't matter whether you like it or not. No matter how bad the book reviews are, can they still defeat the powerful author? No matter what happens to this good book in the end, I am still innocent. What does what Lu Xun said have to do with Zhou Shuren? This is a book about resistance. Since the heaven and the earth are unkind, and nothing is like a dog; then eradicate the injustice and reshape the world. With this in mind, in the face of crisis and coldness, it is like the majestic glacier moving forward unstoppably; With this in mind, in the land where fields are cultivated, the vast rivers irrigate and nourish the beautiful world. With this thought in mind, you should rush forward like a stream towards the sea, and move forward without hesitation! I am glad to have read this book, and I will keep it in mind.

It's so well written, hahahahahaha.

It's really short and weak, and updates slowly! Let's talk about it later.

I feel that in the early stages of this book, the grassroots people were struggling to survive under the natural and man-made disasters in the late Ming Dynasty. In the end, they were forced to perform well by the general trend of history. It ranks among the best among all historical novels and is well worth reading. But riding horses across the Shanshan-Shaanxi tectonic plate, repeatedly interspersing, leading a bunch of new recruits and the similarly decadent Ming army to wallow in the mud of bad battles, it is also a good level to learn war in the war. But after leaving Qinghai, the whole story suddenly went wrong. Logically, the grassroots organizational structure did not completely collapse in the late Ming Dynasty. Although the court was unable to defeat the Manchus, it was still sufficient to suppress the rebels. Avoiding the attack of the imperial court, stopping uninterrupted mobile operations, and gradually developing and building stable base areas in border areas are indeed lessons learned during the Agrarian Revolution. But going to the border areas for development is a disastrous blow to readers' sense of immersion.

Since it is called a stubborn thief, it must be a rebellion and a struggle for hegemony. The author really feels that the last ten or so chapters are a bit slow and abrupt, which is simply inexplicable. My eldest brother specializes in the art of war and is steady in marching and fighting. My tm is superb in force and is first-class in infantry and cavalry combat. I have dozens of soldiers who know how to form a formation. Next to me is Brother Cao's gang of ruffians. Their equipment and combat capabilities are stronger than those of ordinary guardsmen. Dad is still in charge of the village affairs, so it's not an exaggeration to say that this is Tianhu's start, right?

Can the author talk about the positioning of the protagonist of this book, that is, what role the protagonist plays in this period of history, whether he is assisting someone to ascend to the throne, or he is in charge of the world, or he is using modern knowledge to find a new path. There is no need to say much, just reveal a little bit. The main protagonist has a modern memory after all, and has some understanding of the general trend of history. Even if he is not sure whether it is fact or his own imagination, he can always gather his strength to protect himself in case of emergency, just in case. But the protagonist has no subjective initiative at all, and has to rely on the guidance of a native like Lao Cao. Personally, I definitely prefer to see the protagonist be the number one. Therefore, the author reveals the positioning of the protagonist, so that we can nip it in the bud and get together easily, lest I chase more than half of the story and end up unhappy in the end.

Some people have always criticized going to Qinghai, but this is actually the only solution to not cheating in the late Ming Dynasty. This is because Chongzhen changed his character and opened a small cheat, which is regarded as a little golden finger. If you really make a name for yourself in the mainland, Chongzhen will not let you go. Historically, Li Zicheng also ran to Qinghai, but the Ming army did not let him go and chased him to Qinghai. As for the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty, you couldn't break up the Ming army group of 100,000 people 2-3 times in a row in the mainland, and then you couldn't think of separatist rule. But it was different in Qinghai, you could just kill 40,000 to 50,000 people. Why were all the peasant armies in the late Ming Dynasty rogues? It was because those who wanted to be bandits were dead.

This book is bound to hit the market, and the pacing and setting are huge problems In terms of pacing, let's not talk about the three golden chapters. Dozens of chapters are still drifting with the flow, which is painful to read, and it is obviously written by a half-spirited person who has completely become a native. In terms of setting, Pig's Foot's father and brothers are both failures and drags down. At least they are not as simple and clear as the previous book. Pig's Foot's presence is weakened, but they are not as competitive as "Late Ming".

Now that I have read more than 140 chapters, I find that after each war, the protagonist's strength has greatly increased, and there is no feeling of ups and downs at all. For example, the battle against Li Bei can obviously be defeated once, and Li Zicheng's uprising has been beaten for nearly ten years. The remaining eighteen riders ran to the mountains, and once they returned to the solution Let's start. The protagonist always wins in a near-miss, so sooner or later the plot becomes uncontrollable. Sometimes the Lion Camp is completely wiped out, so what? The worst case scenario is that the protagonist runs away and rises again. He can run around the country and revolt everywhere. Now that the protagonist is the strongest among thieves, how long has it been? If things continue like this, other bandits will still be running around, and the protagonist will start to fight against the Ming army. I hope this novel will not be like "I", which is brainless and has no meaning at all. If you always think about fearing that the protagonist will suffer a loss, then the novel will completely fall into the cliché.

Regarding this book, I would like to share my opinions on a few points: 90% of the books written in the late Ming Dynasty were written within the scope of the Ming Dynasty. I think this book can be used for farming in the northwest, and it makes great efforts to describe the Mongolians, Tibetan people, and Han chieftains of various tribes "outside the territory". The scenes of production and life and the hidden class conflicts, and the protagonist being made a Mongolian sweat, and maybe having a water fight with Maozi later, are quite novel and unique. At least I have never seen anyone write like this in the late Ming Dynasty. I think this angle is quite interesting. I saw some comments saying that people don't like to see the part where the protagonist is in Qinghai. I think everyone wants to see something different. It's absolutely fine to express your opinions and feelings, but you don't want to represent others, okay? Just because you don't want to watch it doesn't mean that others don't want to watch it. Are you just adding the words "we" and "everyone" to put pressure on the author? Please allow the author to maintain some creative independence. After all, there are not many books that can be read these days. Another thing I want to say is that the author has updated so casually, but until now, his descriptions and characterizations of characters are a bit bland and not too bright. It seems that he wants to write a group drama, but most of the characters are very bland. For example, I can hardly remember the names of his generals. I feel that it would be no problem to change the names of Zhang San and Li Si. Fighting is like the protagonist remotely operating several robots. After all, you are fighting an ancient war. . . Compared with the last book I read, "Shao Song", the characters of Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, Qu Duan, Yang Yizhong, etc. Are all well-characterized, but in this book I think the only characters that are well portrayed are Cao Yao and Yang Yanchang, which is a pity.

Do you still want to farm that bad land and blast troops? In 2022, the country is still giving money to that place every year 🤤

I just read the latest chapter, and the author finally plans to put forward his own solutions and guiding ideas for the crisis in the late Ming Dynasty. Most novels about the late Ming Dynasty now focus on the rogue bandits and the Manchus. They only briefly mention the structural issues of the Ming Dynasty government, and slightly less mention the large-scale, long-term and widespread natural disasters that broke out in the late Ming Dynasty. For example, "Late Ming" ends immediately after the destruction of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. I think on the one hand, it is because readers prefer the destruction of the Qing Dynasty to the destruction of the Ming Dynasty. On the other hand, as a warlord, if he wants to use snakes and elephants to destroy the Ming Dynasty, he must compromise with the old vested interests and inherit part of the Ming system, which limits his hands and feet. In my personal opinion, the two major ills in the late Ming Dynasty, the first-rate bandits and the Manchus, were actually nothing more than the natural disasters of the Little Ice Age that exploded the problems accumulated over the Ming Dynasty. The problem of the Ming Dynasty's bureaucratic system was the powder keg, the Manchus and the first-rate bandits were the two fuses, and the natural disasters were the sparks that lit the fuse. The paralysis of the bureaucratic system caused by Wanli's neglect of government led to the expansion of the power of the gentry. The Jiajing party struggle caused political disagreements in the court, and party interests were higher than the interests of the government. Apocalypse's reuse of eunuchs led to the expansion of eunuchs. Corruption among decentralized eunuchs was serious. The gentry resisted taxes and annexed small farmers. Chongzhen's frequent changes of commanders caused officials to be unable to act, dare not act, and have serious centrifugal tendencies. These deep-seated reasons led to the preferential treatment of the gentry in the Ming Dynasty, which turned into serious tax arrears for the gentry and big businessmen, resulting in a lack of military pay, serious exploitation of taxes by self-cultivators, and low official income. The low income of officials led to serious corruption. Their corrupt mergers with eunuchs, nobles, clans, and big landowners further exploited the peasants. In the case of serious natural disasters, they had to sell their land at low prices to save themselves, which reduced the number of tax collectors in the Ming Dynasty and increased the burden on the remaining peasants. At worst, they rose up and became rogue bandits under the attack of the army. They continued to destroy the infrastructure of other areas, leading to serious emigration in more areas. Lack of pay for the army reduces the combat effectiveness of the army and deteriorates military discipline. The army was unable to fight and lacked strategic talents. As a result, the Ming Dynasty suffered repeated defeats in the face of the Jurchens, causing serious damage to the infrastructure in North and Northeast China. In addition, the lack of military pay caused the army to flee the mutiny. The eastern Ming army surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, which enhanced its strength, and the western Ming army surrendered to the bandits, making it more organized. To accept the filth of the country is to be called the master of the country: to accept the country is unknown, to be the king of the world. If the protagonist wants to become the emperor, he must face many natural disasters such as droughts, floods, locusts, epidemics, earthquakes, and frosts that were frequent and widespread in the late Ming Dynasty. He must solve the local system established by the Ming Dynasty, build his own new system, and defeat the already weak Ming army and the rising Qing army. I think the difficulty ranges from difficult to weak. Many readers feel that the highlight of time-travel novels about the late Ming Dynasty is defeating the Qing army, but I personally think that smashing the old system and establishing a new regime is even more exciting. There are nothing more than four solutions to dynasty change (more can coexist) 1. The turmoil of dynasty change leads to the death of a large number of people, leaving less people to support with unchanged land. 2. The change of dynasty reduces the number of old vested interests, and the benefits obtained are distributed to other people after being distributed to the new vested interests, so that everyone gains something. 3. Expand externally and use more land to support more people. 4. Increase agricultural output, increase the industrial population, and feed more people with unchanged land.

I couldn't stand it when I saw it. What does it mean that the demise of the Ming Dynasty had nothing to do with Chongzhen? He really has no way to save himself, but you can't just kneel down and lick him, right? They are all here to kill you. You go and say, Emperor, I understand you, you are a wise king, but you were deceived by the ministers, I am your confidant, etc., And then turn around and run to Qinghai. A leader of the rebel army went to Qinghai. Can Qinghai support so many people now? Will any leader with brains go to Qinghai? Going to Qinghai in the late Ming Dynasty? Can we garrison so many troops? The end of the Ming Dynasty was the peak of the Fourth Little Ice Age. What do you think if you run to Qinghai to develop your forces? If you really have a way to survive, the peasant uprising army would not have left long ago. The ancients were just less knowledgeable and not stupid.

How should I put it? Readers really don't like to see the protagonist living in the northwest and fighting with various unfamiliar and unfamiliar forces. There is no understanding and no sense of substitution. We prefer the protagonist's repeated operations in northern Shaanxi between peasant soldiers and the Ming court. In short, let's end the current plot quickly! Whether you fast forward or skip directly, go back to the general trend of the world and the familiar late Ming Dynasty.

Many times, it is difficult to draw a clear conclusion about the strength of the army. For example, Zhang Yong, Xu Yong, Li Guoying and others were unknown when they followed Zuo Liangyu, and were chased away by Li Zicheng. However, after becoming Qing soldiers, they were able to fight back and forth with Li Guo, Liu Tichun and others. Even if they couldn't defeat them, they could at least hold on to the city. Ma Bao was only a small role in the early days, but he became outstanding after joining Li Dingguo, and later became even more outstanding when joining Wu Sangui. Guo Sheng made almost no achievements when he was a member of the Ming army, but after becoming a Chuang army, he made great achievements in suppressing rebellions in Zhili and Shandong. In the era of the late Ming Dynasty, it was difficult to say which army was strong and which was weak. Soldiers were actually very capable of fighting. The key was how to use them. The Ming Dynasty frontier troops in northern Shaanxi were invulnerable trash under Wang Qionian, but under Li Zicheng, they were able to fight head-on with the Qing army. It was obvious that they were not trash as soldiers, but as trash as the commander. Even if the coach is not useless, the army will still be restricted by various objective conditions, from the most basic food and salary supply to every small detail that can affect morale, which will lead to different results in the battle. The Eight Banners Han Army, Sanshun King, Guanning Army, Qin Army, and Chuang Army actually have the same origin. They are all border guards of the Ming Dynasty, and their combat effectiveness is not fundamentally different. But under different circumstances, their abilities are completely different. Compared with the Ming army, the Chuang army could provide better food and salary supplies, enforce stricter discipline, organize stricter training, and had better morale, so it won every major battle after 1640. Even the Eight Banners of Manchuria, before Nurhachi unified the Jurchens, showed only the same combat effectiveness as the Ming Dynasty frontier troops. They hurt when beaten, vomited after drinking too much, and fled once the battle went against them. But after being unified by Nurhachi, they had strict organizational discipline, continued to win the war against the Ming Dynasty, and had a large amount of loot to maintain supplies and morale. Only then could they win all the way. By the time of the Battle of Shanhaiguan, the Qing army was already a very mature army, integrated under a unified and efficient system, and had full confidence in victory. The Chuang Army was a team that had just been established. Those who followed Li Zicheng in the early years died or fled in the 11th year of Chongzhen, and there were only a few left. The Chuang Army during the Battle of Shanhaiguan was rebuilt in four years starting from the 13th year of Chongzhen. The system of the Chuang Army was still being adjusted, and the various units were not familiar with each other. There were still a large number of people who were half-hearted and had neither loyalty nor confidence in Li Zicheng. Therefore, although the Chuang army was capable of confronting the Qing army head-on, their skills were always inferior and they could not win.

I can't stand it any longer. If I thought it was very eye-catching at first when I saw the protagonist jump out of the customs and go to Qinghai, but now I have written hundreds of chapters and still can't get out of Qinghai, I just feel very boring, smelly and long. Some things that can be covered in one sentence have to be covered in all aspects. For example, in the late Ming Dynasty, the main story is in the customs, and the protagonist goes to Qinghai to develop a branch line. It's not that it can't be done, but that you have developed hundreds of chapters in Qinghai and still haven't returned to the main story. It's putting the cart before the horse.

What a great book, I can't wait until it's on the shelves.

This book can be completely self-reliant, there is no need to work for others, and there is no need to save the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty if you are not the Zhu family. The Ming Dynasty should also die.

Say nothing more. Say nothing

All four tickets have been paid, can you change the price... My biggest complaint is, when will the update be more powerful?

No, man! I have been reading your books for more than four years. Tell me what you have to say! I can accept a one-year hiatus, but at least I have to tell my book friends what the situation is like!

It's really uncomfortable to be stuck here and not be able to get up or down. It's obviously going to end, but it's still making everyone feel uncomfortable.
