War Ignites in the Late Ming

Nowadays, the book review section is corrupt and full of wicked people. This is precisely because of insufficient updates. If authors diligently update 10,000 words every day, then the wicked people will be afraid and retreat, and virtuous gentlemen will be overjoyed. This is an achievement worthy of praise even from the legendary emperors Yao and Shun!

A flock of wild geese flew south, while eight wild boars entered the pass. Wildflowers cannot rival the true color of vermilion; exotic plants and weeds also claim to be king? The bright moon is kind and still looks after me, but the gentle breeze is unjust and will not keep my love. Since ancient times, no barbarian tribes have lasted long; they do not believe that the country will not belong to the Tang dynasty.

It is a refreshing work among the novels from the late Ming Dynasty. I hope that military personnel will consult relevant materials and not simply write battle reports. For example, Zuo Liangyu claimed to have a million soldiers, but after Jiannu selected them, only 20,000 were actually combat-ready.

1.74 Million words, and the author's level is still only level 1. There's definitely a reason for that. Look at the first chapter—it's all nonsense. The same thing is described at least three times.

I've read 81 chapters so far, and it feels a bit like a female-oriented novel. Even though the protagonist has already controlled Xiangyang (Xiangjing), he's still encouraging Lu Yingbiao to rebel. I don't know what the protagonist's motive is. He clearly knows it's the 17th year of the Chongzhen Emperor's reign, a chaotic era, utterly chaotic.

I heard that evidence of treason was unearthed from Qian Qianyi's tomb?

Many people are unaware that the recorded steel production during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty reached 500,000 tons. This figure surpassed that of the West until the 19th century, far exceeding the steel production of the Republic of China. The fall of the Ming Dynasty was a national catastrophe.

The author seems to lack basic common sense. In times of war, the most important thing is food. Gold and silver jewelry are not important at all. As long as there is enough food, you can issue currency and target it to food. The currency can be called food coupons or any other kind of currency. In chaotic times, as long as you have food coupons and can buy food, it is the best hard currency. What are gold and silver jewelry?

Volume 2, from the defense of Fancheng to the capture of Wuchang, is a series of climaxes, much like the Liberation War from Menglianggu to the capture of Jinan. What follows should be a period of low tide in domestic politics. Modern readers are indeed quite superficial.

I'll also write down my thoughts after finishing reading the series. Personally, I feel that the past two years have been a boom year for Ming Dynasty time-travel novels, with many interesting works emerging, which may be related to the recent online trend.
