Late Ming 1640

This is the most detailed recent novel about the battlefields of the late Ming Dynasty. If you like it, I recommend it.

Pay attention to the rhythm when coding, and the context must be clear, please!

Let's talk about some views on rogue bandits. The major rogue bandits in the late Ming Dynasty often had tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops. The key to whether this is true or not depends on your definition of an army. I personally think that the army of rogue bandits can be divided into four layers. The first level is the elite cavalry, which controls war horses and is good at riding and shooting. The elite cavalry generally accounts for one or two percent of the army. On the second level, horse soldiers, that is, mounted infantrymen who ride on horses or mules, cannot play mounted shooting, but they can play simple mounted slashing, such as marching in a dense formation like a wall. Horse soldiers generally account for 34% of the army. The third level, infantry, has formal weapons and can fight in formation. Infantry accounts for one-tenth of the army. The fourth level, the hungry soldiers, are the hungry people who follow the bandits. They have no weapons and do not understand battle formations. They are cannon fodder among the bandits. During the war, they dare to rush up for a steamed bun or a bowl of porridge. These hungry soldiers generally account for seventy-eight percent of the army. Whether they are considered a large army or not is a matter of opinion. Roughly speaking, a rogue army of 100,000 troops basically consists of a thousand elite cavalry, a few thousand horsemen, a million infantrymen, and 70,000 to 80,000 hungry civilians. Most people become rogues because they cannot survive, but becoming rogues will make it difficult for more people to survive. Although the rogue bandits claimed to fight local tyrants and share food and money, the local tyrants and gentry in the late Ming Dynasty were not easy to fight. They all lived in rural villages and used their clan neighbors as private soldiers. Their fighting power was amazing. In the late Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng conquered almost all the prefectures and counties in Henan, and he was helpless in the face of thousands of rural villages in the Central Plains. Therefore, the rogue bandits mainly make a living by robbing small farmers who do not have strongholds. In the last years of Chongzhen, there was a severe drought in the Central Plains. Most of the crops were lost for several consecutive years. The population of Henan dropped from more than 10 million to more than 2 million. Those villages without forts were basically empty.

The author writes quite well. As for the shortcomings, I couldn't find them after searching for a long time. Next, the protagonist should farm, and then start to take over the world and become the emperor. I read the history of the late Ming Dynasty, and I feel that everyone is worse than others. The Peasant Army Li Zicheng and others were terrible, and the Manchus were also terrible. What the protagonist needs to do is just not be too bad compared to them, and he can basically rule the world and become the emperor.

I excerpted a section of the configuration of the Eight Banners' troops and horses from the Qing Dynasty's official "Records of Shunzhi", hoping to give the author and readers a reference for understanding the Eight Banners: The number of horses and men below the garrison general, above the armored men, and the number of horses are determined for the expedition. The prince has four hundred horses. The prince and three hundred horses. Baile and two hundred horses. Beizi and one hundred and fifty horses. There are one hundred horses and one hundred horses in the town. Assist the Duke and eighty horses. Before entering Bafen Town, the Duke of Guo had seventy horses. Assist the Duke and sixty horses. General and eighty horses. Counselor, seventy horses. The commander of the guard army, the commander of the vanguard, Mele Zhangjing, and sixty horses each. The commander of the protective army, Meile Zhangjing, and forty horses each were appointed. Forward officer, Jia La Zhangjing, Shu Jia La Zhangjing, first-class bodyguards, and thirty-five horses each. Idle Zhang Jing, forward guards, second-class guards, and twenty-five horses each. Department Zhang Jing, third-class bodyguards, and eighteen horses each. There are twelve horses each for the Military Guard School and the Riding School. There are eight horses for each of the military academy and the riding academy. There are six Xiaobo Shiku, six guards and six horses each. Armored men and four horses each. Bachelor of the Inner Academy, the same as Mele Zhangjing. He studied as a bachelor, the same as Jia La Zhang Jing. Attendant reading is the same as idle Zhang Jing. His Chihaha fan is the same as the Hu Military Academy and Xiaoqi Academy. 11. Volume 14 of Shunzhi Records. From the above historical data, it can be seen that when the Eight Banners went out, the lowest armored men had four horses, and the princes at the top brought four hundred horses. On average, it was basically five horses per person. They would definitely not be able to take care of so many horses. This led to a group, that is, the conquering Aha. Each armored man has to lead two Aha, one is responsible for guarding the camp, and the other is responsible for leading the horses. Therefore, if we see three thousand Manchu cavalry going on an expedition in history books, we must not take the literal meaning of it as three thousand men, but three thousand armored soldiers, six thousand Aha auxiliary soldiers, and fifteen thousand horses. With such a configuration of troops and horses, it is not difficult to defeat tens of thousands of infantry. This is also the main reason why the Eight Banners soldiers often appear in history books to be ten times more powerful than the Ming army. In actual combat, not only the strength of the troops must be counted, but also the horse power. According to the standard of one horse equaling three soldiers, a cavalry of 3,000 and one horse can equal 30,000 infantry. This is This is also the reason why a mere 70,000 Manchurian Eight Banners can overthrow the Ming Dynasty. It is not 70,000 Manchurian Eight Banners but 70,000 Manchurian cavalry. If that is not enough, then there are 70,000 Mongolian cavalry. Forget it, Shunzhi not only has Manchu uncles, but also Mongolian uncles.

You treat the people as a child, and the people treat you as a fool

The starting point of this crossing is not very good. The upper limit of the development of this road is the powerful local villagers in Henan, such as Li Jiyu and Liu Hongqi in history. Basically, the only way to survive is to rely on the strongest force. Moreover, Henan has been basically devastated and has few resources. It is also the first line attacked by Li Zicheng and the Qing army in 1645. There is no buffer to train troops. The imperial court's reinforcements and suppression officers and soldiers pass by. The military discipline is no different from that of bandits, especially the pillars of the Central Plains Zuo Liangyu and Shaanxi He Renlong. Historically, these Henan native villages helped the imperial court suppress bandits, sometimes helped Li Zicheng suppress troops, and finally surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

Maybe I've watched too many rebellions, so I feel like I've been overemphasizing the change of pig's feet, which is a bit uncomfortable, like eating a fly.

After reading this chapter of Shi Gong, I can basically confirm that this book has no hope. The best ending for Shi Kefa is to die in Yangzhou City. The more tragic the death, the better. It is the best arrangement for himself, the protagonist and the Ming Dynasty. The Shi Kefa written by the author is almost better than Wen Tianxiang. Where is the actual Shi Kefa? The Donglin Party member's fault is that he is too outstanding, and his good cards are terrible. If he doesn't die in Yangzhou, I can't even think of his posthumous reputation.

I read a dozen chapters. In troubled times, a time-traveling protagonist has average mental skills, is plain, a lot of nonsense, and verbose. What is troubled times? Killing is decisive and clear, and the choice is clear. It is a miracle that the protagonist can survive for two months, and it is mandatory by the author. It is particularly embarrassing for the protagonist to survive, because he is not qualified to survive, and living is a waste of food. Just a piece of trash.

The protagonist is actually afraid of his wife and leaves. Feminist ideas have been substituted into ancient times and I can't stand it anymore

After reading it, I would like to express my opinion. After more than 90 chapters, the protagonist's thoughts are still wavering. He is still looking forward and backward, worrying about this and that. Chongzhen will be completely finished in three years. The author must consider the readers' sense of substitution. This is an online novel and not a documentary novel.

For those who abandoned the book after seeing the chapter on the trebuchet, to be honest, the principle of the trebuchet is simple, but it is not easy to build it all at once. You have to test it and try it again and again to finalize it. It's not surprising to go back in time and build a gun or a transmitter, but it has to be a process, and after repeated fiddling, it will always work. If you have the opportunity to travel back in time, you must create something with generational differences, so that it can be dramatic and the plot is interesting. Climbing the technology tree honestly according to the historical process is a mindless behavior. The enemy came to attack the door, and you just messed with the trebuchet, and you succeeded all at once. It's too fake.

The author has too many inexplicable emotions and nonsense. He always gives you why, why do you have a hundred thousand whys?

Brother, you are writing novels, not writing papers for postgraduate entrance examinations. Why are there so many psychological analyzes? Who wants to read these?

It's still a story about being a dog. In his previous life, his family was wiped out by the army, so the protagonist has to work for the Zhu family. What a magical logic.

I have found that many authors of historical novels do not describe ancient women at all. When writing about women, they should always be described as delicate and cute, and they are all written according to the modern girl template. You don't really think that our ladies in ancient times were like this, do you? They are extremely precocious in an era when they are about to get married at the age of 14. I have experienced elite education since childhood. Isn't it good to write according to the template of everyone's ladies?

The protagonist is indecisive and does everything coyly, especially in the middle period. I don't know if it's for water or for something else. Every time he does something, he goes through a lot of mental activities. He is just a super low-end version of Yuan Shao. He is very interested in the first part, but can't read anymore when he looks at it later.

You are still a scholar today, but you can fight tomorrow! You are still a farmer today, but tomorrow you can attack the enemy camp at night! You can make a trebuchet instantly just by saying it. It's even faster than even playing games.

This book can barely be said to be above the poisonous weeds and below the hay. The writing style is still good, but 60% of the content of each chapter is explanation, explanation, explanation, and explanation that is broken into pieces. It is assumed that all readers are elementary school students who are afraid of not being able to understand. 😴😴😴

What I have written so far is just a matter of paper. The author's perspective is that of a staff officer, which is a one-stop analysis. There are basically no war scenes, and no specific battles are even mentioned 😁 I suggest that the next book should not contain content about hegemony, but instead focus on intrigues in the court and battles in the harem.

Hay, and here's why. 1. It is too novice for readers in the history area. The author's understanding of industry, especially the military industry, is too layman. Is the first chapter a plot that can be written by a human being? Next time if this happens, just bring a B2 with unlimited firepower. No one wants to see this kind of outrageous plot. 2. The rivalry game is all based on intelligence, and the historical text is a coloring game. Do you understand the game? If your opponents are all NPCs with no difficulty, what's the point? I didn't stick with the free chapter. Every opponent I met relied on outsmarting to win. What's the point of asking the protagonist to win because he still needs to outsmart his opponents? I'm serious. Your protagonist can make a trebuchet in one hour and carry out a night attack with two hands. In this era, you can't find a strong army in the world. To fight a rogue bandit, you have to make the other party make mistakes. 3. The writing and plot are too scattered and messy. It's not that the plot is messy, it's that the characters' perspective is messy. The dialogue plot is one sentence here and there, one sentence after another. When writing the plot of A and B, let A and B talk, and when C needs to speak, give the perspective to C, okay? Always take the A perspective and then bcd. A lot of people are talking at the same time, and they are very scattered. Moreover, the writing style is flawed. To put it bluntly, this can only make you happy, because the author cannot describe what he is thinking of, and the readers have to be led into the set plot intermittently, and the reading is incoherent. Do you understand, brother?

In the past six months, this is the only book that I have read every chapter seriously. I started to subscribe to this book and started to get a monthly pass. I had never subscribed to a book so densely before without a monthly pass. After I got a monthly pass, I voted for it. The route is reasonable, and it grows and develops step by step. It is not a brainless start. After gaining momentum, the ideological and political policies have also kept up with the development. The team has been built up step by step, and the plot is not protracted. It feels like it is gradually getting better in the middle period. It is not a noob, and occasionally has some dry content. It can be seen that it is written with care, and the background of the late Ming Dynasty is truly shaped. After stepping into the great position, it was an era of connecting the past and the future. After regaining the mountains and rivers, there were also great achievements, such as great voyages, maritime hegemony, land expansion, improvement of social productivity, changes in production relations, reshaping of Han Dynasty, exchanges of Western learning, etc. Maybe the outline wasn't written so far in the beginning? Also, why have some chapters been blocked recently and targeted by whips? The readers who have been reading it all are in-depth history enthusiasts. The base is small but lasting. It would be a pity to abandon this high-quality book now. Is Kavinka outlining it? It is not necessarily necessary to focus on the political struggle and establishment of the government. You can also change the perspective. For example, if you ascend to a high position, the perspective is temporarily removed from the protagonist line, and turns to the local line, or even the establishment of slaves. If you open a new book, everything will have to be invested again, and the Manchus did not expel it, unless the author originally only planned to write until he unified the country and then finished the book. If you have time, I hope you can finish it. The amount of updates and chapters can be changed as needed. Doesn't the recent book reviews make the author less motivated? If you still have insufficient ideas, you can properly discuss them with readers. You can create a group to communicate together. After reading it for more than half a year, I still want to encourage the author. The ideas and policies written in the middle of the book are basically the author's original ideas. When I open a new book, I don't know which dynasty to write about? I hope that the historical soul travel is also unsystematic. I feel that writing about other dynasties is not as great as this book. The outline should be planned later to avoid getting stuck after the main character line is clear and stable. I hope to create a group

The few Ming and Qing texts I have read before all contained pure cold weapons for the Qing army.

The character of the protagonist is not suitable for this, the Holy Mother Heart. Not cruel enough
