Ming and Song

From the very beginning of the Northern Expedition, the story was incredibly frustrating for the reader. The protagonist's attacks on Wei were like punching thin air—completely ineffective. Meanwhile, Wei's attacks on the protagonist were devastating, with no way to retaliate. The reader could only watch as Wei's army made the first move and the reader had to react accordingly.

The content is good, but the title is not so good. The novel is set in the Northern and Southern Dynasties period. I like this kind of thing, so whenever I see it, I'll usually click on it to take a look. Your book title sounds like it's from both the Song and Ming dynasties. If I hadn't read the introduction and known it was about the Liu Song dynasty of the Southern Dynasties, I would have missed it.

That's incredible! How did the cavalry manage to move the cannon?

What kind of garbage is this "Northern Expedition" writing? I'm speechless.

For the first fifteen chapters, the protagonist seems to know everything, like he has a god's-eye view, yet he does absolutely nothing. Author, if you like writing like this, you might as well write a "recap" novel. Watching the author make money makes you think they're building up power, but nothing changes; they just eat and drink as usual.

Wasn't the Liu Song dynasty good enough? Why change the dynasty name to Ming? The Ming Dynasty was the only dynasty to relinquish a million square kilometers of territory west of Jiayuguan without a fight, abandoning the Hetao region, and its actual territory was only slightly larger than that of the Song Dynasty.

What kind of nonsense is this? Who wants to read a balanced battle? Wouldn't that mean all that farming was for nothing? One cannon shot and they're invincible?

The Southern Song army can be divided into three categories. 1. Local militia: During the Southern Song Dynasty, 100,000 local militia were needed to defend the cities and counties, maintain order, deliver postal services, and supervise laborers. Their monthly salary was 200-600 copper coins, and they received 1-3 bolts of cloth, 30 catties of salt, and 30 mu of tax-free farmland annually.

If you keep writing like this, your book is bound to flop!

Before the Song Dynasty, the land in the Lianghuai region had sandy soil with a high permeability. If salt was produced by sun-drying, the salt would seep into the ground before it was even fully dried. Therefore, salt production was never carried out in the Lianghuai region before the Song Dynasty. During the Song Dynasty, Du Chong dammed the Yellow River, causing it to change course.
