My Private Bookshelf: Recommendations From a Veteran Reader
I started reading novels sometime in the early 2000s, and my tastes have always been incredibly varied. Back then, we didn’t know what was good or bad. Whatever books other people wrote, we read them. It wasn’t like today, with so many reviewers and so many tiers, or perhaps it’s simply a difference between eras. If you pick up books from back then now, you may find them impossible to finish because you’re no longer used to their style. Modern books wouldn’t have suited readers back then either.

Learn from History: Historical Transmigration Novels
History teaches us how to weigh gains and losses. China’s roughly five thousand years of history is a vast work that can help us understand them. We read it to learn from the past, take what’s valuable, and discard what’s worthless.

I just feel that there is no end. They are all rebelling. Open your mouth and ask for 10,000 sets of clothes from the family It is known as fooling people. Can you lead troops and kill their whole family? You have already rebelled, why do you still want to leave so much room? The protagonist was so miserable in the past, and now it has been written off. Do you want to say that there is something going on behind the scenes? Which great god are you? There are so many pictures of us having time to accompany you
Let's talk about how Chongzhen treated his subordinates.
First of all, let me say that no one is perfect, everyone has some flaws. But Chongzhen wanted to find a perfect person. If he found that his subordinates were not perfect, he would kill them directly. Let's talk about it from a young age first A must-kill for defeat, there is almost no chance of saving. "Zheng Chongjian" Because Yang Sichang, whom Chongzhen valued, died in office, Chongzhen resented him. He blamed Zheng Chongjian for returning troops without permission, failing in military discipline, and abandoning the market. When Emperor Hongguang was in power, he wrote to Li Qing about the incident and said: "Zheng Chongjian never lost a city or an army, but he was sentenced to death because of others' clever words to shirk responsibility. All the ministers secretly knew his grievances, but no one dared to speak out. I am very sad about this." Zheng Chongjian's grievances were finally revealed. "Shao Jiechun" The firefighters lost Mianzhou because they only had old and young men under them in the end. When they were still in charge of the defense in Chengdu, they were captured by Chongzhen from Beijing and imprisoned, and committed suicide by drinking medicine. "Sun Yuanhua" Building artillery, Nurhachi was injured and died because of the artillery he built. Because he was framed, he was killed by Chongzhen's order. His descendants wrote the book "Record of Injustices between the Country and the Family" to avenge him. "Geng Ruqi" was framed and killed by Chongzhen. Historical data blames Wei Zhongxian's remnants. I think Wei Zhongxian is really unlucky. He has been dead for three or four years and he still has to bear the blame. On the contrary, those Donglin Party members who killed Wei Zhongxian, don't they know who Wei Zhongxian's remaining Party members are? Or did you end up fighting among yourself and saying that the other party was a remnant of Wei Zhongxian's party? Although these people have questionable abilities, at least they dare to fight. And these people were very loyal to Chongzhen, or in other words, very loyal to Ming Dynasty. Then talk about some celebrities. "Chen Xinjia" Negotiated peace with Chongzhen to the Qing Dynasty, but was killed by Chongzhen after the matter was exposed. The biggest consequence of Chen Xinjia's death was that when Chongzhen planned to move south, he continuously gave hints to the ministers and asked them to bring it up. As a result, no one was willing to speak out about moving south. On the contrary, Guang Shiheng came out to strongly obstruct it, which eventually led to Chongzhen's suicide. Oh, let me say something here: Chongzhen's suicide was not a dignified thing, but rather stupid. If we hadn't run away after losing the capital, we might all be Japanese now. On the contrary, Guang Siheng ran away on his own and went to Nanming to be killed. He was accused of obstructing the southward movement. Do you think it is funny or not? "Sun Chengzong" Why did you get him out? Because he was the first one to be abandoned due to failure in the first battle. Just because the defense of Daling River was destroyed by Hou Jin, Sun Chengzong was driven home. Later, Sun Chengzong's family resisted the Qing army and were killed. Chongzhen didn't even fart. Instead, he pursued his posthumous title in the Southern Ming Dynasty and Qianlong. By the way, what the Qing Dynasty liked to do most was to praise those who had been tricked by their own people. Although these people themselves are capable, they further publicize the incompetence of the Han people. For example, Yue Fei, Yuan Chonghuan, and Sun Chengzong also pursued posthumous titles. "Yuan Chonghuan" Many people say that Yuan Chonghuan was bragging for five years, but if he really failed after giving Yuan Chonghuan five years, it would indeed be called bragging. However, Chongzhen gave Yuan Chonghuan more than half a year and then killed Yuan Chonghuan... As for the problems between Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong, Zhihu B station has popular science, and Mao Wenlong's level is just like that. At the beginning of the second year of Chongzhen, he proposed the five-year peace of Liao Dynasty. At the end of the second year of Chongzhen, the Qing army entered the pass. What policies do I have in mind, but they are not as efficient? Moreover, the Qing army went to Mongolia, not Liaodong. And Yuan Chonghuan was one of the few Liaodong generals who dared to fight against the elite Qing troops. Although Wu Sangui was there later, when it came to a decisive battle, Wu Sangui was weaker than anyone else. "Lu Xiangsheng" There is not much to say, just one sentence: No funeral, no compensation. Xiangsheng's body was kept in morgue for more than 80 days before it was collected by his family. It will not be buried until February 28 next year, looking as if he was alive. "Hong Chengchou" He and Sun Chuanting beat Li Zicheng until there were only eighteen people left. Then Chongzhen did not allow him to pursue Li Zicheng, put Sun Chuanting in jail, and asked Hong Chengchou to go to Liaodong. Let Hong Chengchou command the generals in Liaodong, and then force them to fight quickly. To put it bluntly, apart from forming warlords to fight against Chongzhen to protect themselves, the soldiers of Liaodong will be nothing if you ask them to fight. Hong Chengchou hoped that Chongzhen would give him a month of food, but in the end it was only three days in Hong Chengchou's hands, and then he was forced to fight. Hong Chengchou defeated Dorgon first. Dorgon asked Huang Taiji for help. Huang Taiji had high blood pressure and nosebleeds and was about to explode. He led his troops to rescue Dorgon. Huang Taiji is indeed very capable, this is serious. Hong Chengchou's food and grass were cut off, but Hong Chengchou still wanted to fight decisively. At this time, almost all the Liaodong generals and Shanxi generals ran away immediately. Only Zu Dale, a relative of Zhu Dashoujia, and Cao Bianjiao and other people who originally suppressed bandits with Hong Chengchou were left. I have to mention that Datong General Soldier Wang Pu is really awesome. He was the first one to run back. This man deceived Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou. He was really the best teammate in the late Ming Dynasty. Hong Chengchou had no choice but to send six thousand elites led by Cao Bianjiao to sneak attack Huang Taiji, and he almost killed Huang Taiji. But it failed in the end, and Cao Bianjiao was seriously injured and later died in the battle. "Sun Chuanting" This child was even more unlucky. He was inexplicably sent to Zhao Prison at the beginning, although it was also the reason for the infighting in the Ming Dynasty. And his death was exactly the same as Hong Chengchou's failure. He was forced to fight by Chongzhen, but he had no chance to surrender and committed suicide after defeat. Concluding remarks: There were still many people who could be defeated in the late Ming Dynasty, but almost all of them were tricked by Chongzhen. From ancient times to the present, there are only a few emperors who have risen from the ground up. Also, I don't think there is any problem with Hong Chengchou's surrender. The term "traitor" was still popularized during the Qianlong period. Qianlong often scolded generals who surrendered to the enemy after defeat as traitors. But even so, Qianlong only gave them the title of "Second Ministers". The king of heaven and earth, the master, the master, was originally a way for feudal society to enslave literati. There was another sentence earlier: Mencius told King Xuan of Qi: If the king treats his ministers as his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart. If a king treats his ministers like dogs and horses, then his ministers will regard him as a countryman. If a king treats his ministers like dirt, then his ministers will regard him as a bandit. Everything is relative, don't evaluate the ancients based on current thinking. Huang Taiji is much stronger than Chongzhen. Even if you don't want to kill the person he likes, Huang Taiji will not kill you. Far away, Zhang Chun refused to surrender after being captured, so Huang Taiji also allowed him to live near the palace. As well as Zu Dashou, who was captured twice, Huang Taiji did not pursue the first rebellion and escaped, and treated him as before. In terms of winning people's hearts, Huang Taiji was considered the number one person in the late Ming Dynasty.
There are more than a dozen books of this stuff. I don't know if you have read it. "100,000 Whys" chose the adult version. As long as the technology and technology existed before 1970, you can find it. 😏You're welcome.
It's the end of the Ming Dynasty and you still want to be the emperor? No industrial revolution? Once the industrial revolution occurs, the imperial power system will no longer be compatible.
It was a bit too poisonous to see the protagonist leading people to the capital and abandoning them. The leader of the force personally went to work behind enemy lines.
I couldn't stand it after reading a few chapters! Forget about Li Dingguo and Liu Zongmin coming out of your small county town! It's a bit too much for you to come to the first level of high school! I want to send people like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to your county and they will listen to you 😅
Every time a book like this appears about late Ming rebellion, it is a rip-off of the old-era sacred book "A Small Soldier on the Border Army in the Late Ming Dynasty"!
It is rare to find a late Ming Dynasty novel that does not criticize the noble gentry and Confucian scholar-bureaucrats. The protagonist does not need these Donglin and Fushe members, these "scholars" are officials, which is very suitable to my taste. One of the most poisonous points in historical novels for me is that the protagonists who rebel at the end of the dynasty treat the "remnants of the previous dynasty" with various preferential treatment, and even directly serve as officials for them. The euphemistic name is to gain the support of Confucian scholars and the majority of "students." I think the protagonist has rebelled, so everything in the previous dynasty should be swept into the garbage dump, and their support is not needed at all. The protagonist of this book abolished the imperial examination, did not recognize the Ming Dynasty's merits, and appointed officials trained by himself. And suppressed Confucianism , advocating practical learning. In my opinion, the novels of the late Ming Dynasty should establish an independent country. As long as they adhere to the premise of resisting the Qing Dynasty, they should also establish their own dynasty instead of extending the life of the decadent Ming Dynasty. This is definitely a good book for readers who have similar tastes to me.
Brother, I tried my best to barely read Chapter 994, but I couldn't read it before; 1⃣️actually threatened the sea bandit Zheng Zhilong to kill the people who picked up the goods on land if he disobeyed 2⃣️sent a group of people across China to the coast of Guangdong. I really can't stand it, two cocks in one episode
There are more than a thousand pictures. After reading them all, I am confused about the army, rural construction, urban management, and how people at all levels treat the protagonist. To be honest, half of the more than a thousand chapters are filled with clear water and clear water. The remaining half are mostly rebels from all walks of life. In the early stage, when the protagonist just started his career, the protagonist wrote a little more, borrowing things from the squire to give IOUs, etc., But the next seven or eight hundred chapters are completely about the general environment. The author has never written about the environment under the rule of the protagonist, the various events under his rule, etc. He really thought that it would be enough to conquer the country and establish a peasant association, right? The protagonist's political orientation and the protagonist's policy agenda are all invisible. The author just writes about the general environment, what about the Manchu Qing Dynasty, what about the rebels, what about Chongzhen, etc. Please, I am here to see how the protagonist rebels and helps the farmers. Just saw the water
