Unlike conventional novels about the end of the Yuan Dynasty that go straight to the battle, this book has an extremely solid foreshadowing. In the early stage, Shao Shuyi tolerated dealing with corrupt officials and water transport tycoons, improving account books, reclaiming wasteland, taking in displaced people, and building a self-sufficient living system bit by bit. Every step of development is in line with the background of the times, with meticulous research, and the details of salt affairs, shipping, and banknotes are real and rich. When the imperial court imposed exorbitant taxes and crushed the lower classes, and corrupt officials oppressed the refugees wantonly, Shao Shuyi no longer gave in blindly and raised the banner of resistance. The name of "Shao Thief" spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River. This turning point did not feel sudden and satisfying, but was an inevitable explosion caused by long-term backlog. The second volume is no longer limited to a corner of Taicang. Shao Shuyi holds the foundation of the refugees and completes the commercial and trade industry chain. While stabilizing the Matuosha base, he also lays out the layout along the Yangtze River, running the military and political, people's livelihood, and trade in parallel. The author vividly depicts the suffering of the people at the bottom and the decadence of the system in the late Yuan Dynasty. Shao Shuyi's resistance is not only to survive for himself, but also to find a place for homeless ordinary people to settle down. The character structure is instantly elevated. The pace of the book is steady and steady, with balanced descriptions of power maneuvering, people's livelihood construction, and small-scale wars. There is no brainless plot. Every decision Shao Shuyi makes must weigh the risks of food, grass, manpower, and government encirclement and suppression. "Shao's rebellion" is not only a turning point in the plot, but also a sublimation of the core of the book. It shifts from surviving in troubled times to reshaping a world. I am very much looking forward to the follow-up plot in which the protagonist improves industrial livelihood and competes with various forces for hegemony. I sincerely recommend all book friends who like textual research and historical texts about farming and hegemony to read it carefully!

The Ant Thief Eunuch is a novel, and it's hard to let go There were too many regrets at the end of the Yuan Dynasty Too much, too much The Han people returned to the world and the world was white But not enough. In that historical environment, there were too many things that could be done I hope there will be no regrets in the novel Come on! Support as always⬆️

The pace of this book is a bit slow. How many chapters will it take before we can raise the army?

Seven months and 1.5 Million words have passed since the beginning of Beiwangjiangshan. The period during which Shao Thief accumulated strength has become the biggest controversial point in this book. Mike is always worried that he has not accumulated enough strength. Some loyal readers have been surprised by the detail of the book and resented that it is too detailed (always preparing, never rebelling). In fact, many readers are probably tired of talking about how to brew counterattacks. As we all know, Mike's writing style has attracted many die-hard fans. Looking North is also one of the most discussed books among readers over the years that I have been reading. Fans continue to discuss the current situation in the book and Shao Thief's future situation from chapter reviews, book reviews, and groups. This has lasted for nearly half a year. Many book friends have already discussed the past, present, and future, but they have never waited for Mike's starting gun. So everyone rioted. As Mike's fans' favorite self-proclaimed, the tooth soldiers launched a counterattack and encouraged Mike to rebel as soon as possible. The final result was as expected by the Ya soldiers. Now that the Shao thieves rebelled and won the battle, some people began to say that the words here have been said many times, and the storyline there is similar to the first two books. But the world is materialistic. In the era of the first three books, the fact that the three generations of Shao thieves were able to win essentially means that their approach is adapting to the trend and is in line with the optimal solution expected by the gentry. Therefore, they are essentially reaching the same goal through different paths, so there will naturally be similarities. Even if Mike didn't write the first two books and only wrote about looking north, he would most likely still write about these operations. Since everyone has fallen in love with Mike's creation of a complex and detailed world, in fact, you should give Mike more time. After all, among the more than one million words in the past, the most attractive place that gave everyone a different feeling from the past was Wujuanxiangli. . . In this life, only with more complete preparations can we see more new and different detailed operations. Before the rebellion, when we took the trouble to collect ships and ordered the aristocratic families to build warships, there would definitely not be this novel land and water battle. Of course, you probably won't be able to get a glimpse of the complex hydrological environment of the Shao Thief base. After all, the book friends all have unique skills and have contributed a lot of actual information in the chapter reviews, which once again strengthened everyone's imagination of this battle. However, on the other hand, it is unrealistic to want the tooth soldiers not to rush or rebel. After all, they are all tooth soldiers and have been waiting for half a year. Can there be any higher requirements? So, while Shao Thief was only preparing for the rebellion, and the book friends were pulling and urging him to rebel, the officers and soldiers came to encircle and suppress him, and Shao Thief rebelled. As for this, it is very likely that it is an early-ripening fruit. Whether it tastes good or not, I believe the tooth soldiers have their own judgment. After all, there will be world hegemony and continuous war plots in the future. Those of you who are familiar with thousands of books and hundreds of histories will probably have a hard time finding new ideas that are completely different from the past two books. Finally, I hope Mike writes better and better!

On May 20th of the ninth year of Zhizheng (1349), Shao rebelled. In the third year of Zhizheng, he used the soul of an old thief to wear the body of a young man, carrying bags at the dock, working as a bookkeeper, a shopkeeper, working with rich women (knocking on the blackboard...), Doing transportation, selling smuggled salt... Half-black but not white, he accumulated a lot of power in six years, and finally alerted Yuan Ting. He couldn't deal with it, so he struck first to gain strength. , Claimed to be the "Generalissimo who advocated righteousness from heaven", took Jiangdu, broke through the water army, swept across Jiangyin, Wuxi, Taicang, Tongzhou, Suzhou, Huzhou, Songjiang and other places, took the grain and materials from the official warehouses, robbed craftsmen, destroyed temples, looted frivolous wealth, and rebuilt the cities of Jiangyin and Taicang, planning to become a land base. He also sent Li Fu across the sea to Jiaozhou, originally just to cause some trouble for the government, but he encountered hungry people everywhere and recruited troops for disaster relief. Very busy. The biggest problem with Shao's hasty revolt is that there are too few civilian officials to form effective rule. Moreover, the plains along the Yangtze River in Taicang, Jiangyin, involve the lifeline of the Yuan Dynasty's water transportation, and are must-win areas for the Yuan army. Therefore, the current rebellion is not a long-term solution. It is very likely that the Shao thieves are still planning to promote peace through fighting. They rely on island bases such as Ma Tuosha and Chongming, rely on land strong cities, and use the advantages of the navy to repel the invading enemies. They fight and negotiate at the same time to form a separatist trend and wait for the opportunity. After all, in one or two years, we will "provoke the Yellow River to rebel". And Li Fu may also occupy the Jiaodong Peninsula (there are gold mines in Zhaoyuan) as another base area and rely on sea transportation lines to open up another battlefield. The Shao thief called himself "Fengtian and advocated righteousness" and swept across the south of the Yangtze River without disturbing the people. This foreshadowed the recruitment of talents when he fought for the world in the future.        ，

It is difficult to write about the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Some of the good books were ruined.

First of all, it is unrealistic. How can you recruit when you go to Shandong? Why should people trust you? You have just rebelled. First, you have no stable sphere of influence. Second, you have no reputation in Shandong. It has to be trained for a period of time before it can be used. It is already short of manpower. You need to divide your troops when you go to recruit. There is also food loss and interference from local powerful people. If you send few people, you may die at sea or be strangled by local powerful people and the government. If you send a large number of people, food consumption is a problem. At the same time, the territory you just conquered needs to be guarded. On the contrary, take these grains and go to Jiangbei for recruitment. The journey is short and the round trip time is short. Multiple recruitments can be carried out, and the transportation risk can be minimized. , The Shao thieves still have some reputation here. At the same time, they understand the situation among the people and know those who have been squeezed enough to join the rebellion, and they can be recommended or talked to by some local powerful people in the countryside in Jiangbei. To sum up, it is currently impossible to recruit in Shandong with these two advantages. Moreover, Jiangbei Qingxu is very suitable for the Shao thieves' strategy for fighting in the southeast in the future. The Cai thieves can quickly use the water network in the Liangjiang area to fight, and can also adapt to fighting in the plains and hills.

When the page of the book was turned to the moment when Shao Shuyi raised a flag of rebellion, I finally understood the profound meaning of the author's hundreds of chapters. Everyone in the world calls him "Shao Thief", but at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, exorbitant taxes crushed the refugees and officials plundered the people. If they didn't rise up, countless people at the bottom could only die quietly in the troubled times. Shao Shuyi was never a born hero. From being a poor shipowner in Taicang to gathering homeless people in Ma Tuosha, he never raised his troops to seek power and position, but to provide a way for ordinary people struggling to survive. The writing in the second volume has faded away from the gentleness of the early market dealings, and the fierce battles and iron horses are rushing towards the face. The heaviness of the broken country is intertwined with the hot struggle of the little people. Every plot is rich and moving.

Vote

Are there any books similar to Looking North to the Country? The protagonist travels to ancient times and leads a group of brothers to mix in society, become powerful, do business, and conquer the world. Don't rebel and conquer the world right from the start. I hope to see more plots of mixed society, being a powerful person, and doing business.

There are only three for now, so don't be too few.

Shao Shuyi started out as an orphan from a shipyard with only a small family. He gradually gained strength by helping people repair ships and smuggling private salt. It took him more than two hundred chapters to completely break up with the Yuan Dynasty officials: he saw with his own eyes that a fellow shipyard from his hometown was raped by Yan Zhengxu. The officials forced the family to die, the trading company that he worked hard to save was confiscated by the government, and even Ma Tuosha, who was hiding, was surrounded and suppressed by the Yuan army. The rebellion was the actual result of "officials forcing the people to rebel", not the protagonist's impulse after opening the golden finger. This "revolt only when pushed into a corner" design is much more realistic than shouting "overthrow the imperial court" from the beginning, and completely fits the historical logic of the peasant uprising in the late Yuan Dynasty. Before his rebellion, he made the shady story of Jiangnan salt politics known to the world, and attracted bankrupt seafarers, kitchen workers, and marginalized Han officials. His rebellion was to "break down the order and establish new rules." The powerful Jiangnan clan and the Salt Gang were besieged on three sides, and even the Qinhuai River base was almost lost. This design of "immediately facing a life and death crisis after rebelling" is completely in line with the situation of the rebel army in the early stages of history, and the contradiction of "the bottom class cannot survive but has to flip the table" is vividly written.

Speed ​​up the pace. . . Nothing to see at the moment. If you don't rebel again, will you try my sword?

，，，，，， The first two books were both backdoor listings, relying on their status within the system to attract talents. This one had to start from scratch, and it was not interesting. In my impression, there were only a handful of good books. In other words, if it was well written, it would have the potential to become a platinum gold medal in history. But if it was poorly written, it would be ugly, just like the cousin next door who has a bad reputation. The system of the Yuan Dynasty is really crude. When establishing a new dynasty, the establishment of regulations and systems must be based on the current reality, but also take into account the future of the Age of Discovery, and lay the foundation for the subsequent discovery of productivity. It is a bit meaningless to purely restore the Tang and Song Dynasties. The unification war is not difficult. The first-mover advantage is too great. If you survive the initial period, you can conquer the north from the south, unless you forcefully cheat your opponent. Finally, the author writes part-time, and I personally feel that he is really awesome, and he is really good at catching fish.

Come on

I feel like the author's recent writing has been a bit confusing. After thinking about the first two books, it seems that he never wrote about geographical resource points such as copper and iron. It turns out that the two books did not explain the father-in-law, inventory, seizures, etc., And there is no problem in writing about gunpowder without climbing the technology tree. It feels a little weird that the main character in this book, in this age of the dawn of firearms, still avoids talking about it according to the original writing method! The plot during this period can be avoided or postponed by changing the scene. Go to Ma'anshan and Tongling. Ma'anshan (Dangtu): a ready-made official "arsenal" with ready-made iron smelting furnaces, forging workshops, and skilled craftsmen. Whether you write about robbery or corruption, it feels better than pushing the plot in place. Every time you look at a dozen armors, you will gnash your teeth. Copper mining in the Yuan Dynasty shrank significantly compared to the Song Dynasty due to the use of paper currency, but private mining in Tongling has continued to pass on the technology. The basic annual output of crude copper should be between 5-15 tons. A standard "hand gun" in the early Ming Dynasty weighs about 2-2.5 Kilograms. Based on the annual output of 5 tons, there can be about 2,000 hand guns. This is all the protagonist's money! Author, you really deserve death! ! ! The protagonist's freight goes directly to the two lakes in Jiangxi, but there is no plot like exchanging salt and iron. If there is food, there will be a food shortage. The author is writing now and there is no shortage of food. If you don't have money, Dangtu (Ma'anshan) also produces coal. You really don't need high technology to make the briquettes you made when you were young. Selling them is cheaper than firewood, and you can increase the number of manpower and ships. Coal and iron are all picked up from open-pit mines! It's not enough to just have food but no iron. The rich woman hasn't gotten it yet! No one has invested yet! I hope the author can make up for the shortcomings in the description of geographical resources. The plot can be stretched even more without climbing the technological tree!

Overall evaluation: The background of this book is the late Yuan Dynasty. It continues the author's consistent writing style, with reasonable reasoning and detailed data. It is more enjoyable for those who have many female protagonists in the harem. What is different from the previous novels is that the male protagonist of this novel has a lower background and is just a seafarer with nothing. The author uses the rise of the male protagonist to show all kinds of people in the late Yuan Dynasty: The corruption of officials, the incompetence of the garrison army, the cruelty of the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty and the helplessness of the seafarers, salt households and other people at the bottom, can be called a model of seeing the big from the small! The novel is being updated to show that the Shao thief rebelled and faced the encirclement and suppression of the Yuan Dynasty. The story becomes more and more exciting. Looking forward to the update!

On May 20th of the ninth year of Zhizheng (1349), Shao rebels launched an army and swept across Suzhou, Xi, Changsongtong and other state capitals. In July, Emperor Tiguo ordered the deployment of troops for encirclement and suppression. Four months later, in mid-October, Marshal Yu Shenzheng of the capital led more than 70,000 troops from all walks of life to Huaidong, stationed in Daqingkou (probably Qingjiangpu), and marched towards Jiangdu (Yangzhou administrative office). The armies were scattered between Huaiyang. In mid-July, when Yu reached Gaoyou, the armies gradually became chaotic and war smoke broke out. At the beginning of November, Shao Shuai mobilized his troops northward and sent high guns from the sea into the Yellow River to seize the food and grass of the Yuan army at Daqingkou and cut off their retreat. Later, he personally commanded the army from the canal to the north, and in a battle, they marched down to the important town of Shaobo in Gaoyou. Volunteers from all walks of life came to surrender one after another. Later, he sent Ma Jiu to stop the enemies in Yangzhou, and took advantage of the navy to recover the counties in the north of the Yangtze River. By the end of the year, he defeated the Yu family and conquered Gaoyou. In the first month of the tenth year of Zhengzheng, the area between Huaidong, Jianghuai (Huang) was settled.

When a new book is released, the first thing to do is to read it. This determines the recommendation position and exposure. It is the most important thing. It is recommended to read the latest chapter every day, which only takes about one minute. Secondly, rewards and monthly passes are also very useful. They will be higher on various lists and will be seen by more people. It is recommended to reward characters (that is, giving gifts to characters), because the author of a reward book and a character reward have the same profit, but you can add star points to the character. If you have more star points, you will have various benefits, such as designing portraits from Qidian, birthday events, card activities, Qidian coins... Especially if the reward is less than 10,000 points per time, Qidian now only rewards 10,000 points to get a monthly pass, so tipping to characters has the greatest benefits. Thirdly, when everyone is reading the book, this chapter says that it is very useful to like it in the book circle. This chapter says that if there are more than ten likes, achievement points will be added. If the amount is enough, the work will be upgraded to stars, and you can enter the Hall of Masters. You will get some coins, fan titles, monthly passes... Likes and replies in the book circle will add contribution points, and if the level reaches level 4 or above, there will be some coin benefits. Finally, turn to the end every day and compare your feelings for the characters. If you can write, you can write fan fiction, and if you can draw, you can draw fan pictures. This will add star value to the character. Temporarily

Historical novels should never be the same. Readers should support authors who dare to break through themselves. In the first two books, there is no sympathy between the lower-class characters, no real right-hand man, and no focus on people's livelihood. It seems that all historical novels should start from a rigid warrior, rather than a sea of ​​living people of all kinds. The real background of Lord of Mysteries is the symphony of the steam age, not just a potion system, nor a fantasy novel in the traditional sense. The background of today's Beiwang Jiangshan is by no means a simple uprising and hegemony, but the real life of the people at the bottom and the bottom structure of society. In summary, this book has a more comprehensive and in-depth foundation for development, and is not just about traditional military building, political planning, and farming and doing business. Therefore, this book does not follow the same old path of fast-paced competition for hegemony. It is a manifestation of the author's courage to innovate. I hope readers will bear with me. In this fast-paced era, the author is still willing to use delicate brushwork to describe various small characters at the bottom, which is an excellent embodiment of online writing. Although it is inevitable to avoid the common problem of Internet articles: low word count, it is still not easy. I hope that the times will give the author more tolerance in writing.

The sun is shining brightly. Climb Mount Xisai and look at the Pavilion in the north, looking at China in the north. I wonder if Shao Thief had been here when he was writing this book... What a coincidence You will see the North Watch Pavilion when you climb the mountain Looking north to Shenzhou, you will see Hengpi when you look back: Such mountains and rivers The residual snow in Xisai The river is rushing from the west, The river here is narrow, passing through the rocks Panorama Going eastward through Xisai, the river is wide and suddenly bright The ruins of the ancient fort, imitated by today's people The viewing platform has a good scenery Looking north at the river and mountains

Looking back on the late Tang Dynasty, I wrote it until it was almost finished and then it got thousands of orders. In the historical district, good books and good authors cannot be buried. Keep up the good work. Why don't you celebrate the million orders? No more updates?🤓🤓🤓

While affirming the author's creative talent, I would like to express some uneasiness about the recurring "NTR" plot in the work. Whether it is the protagonist "stealing" a married woman who is in love, or the use of power and violence to "conquer" other people's partners, these two settings are essentially trampling on marital loyalty and materializing other people's personalities and emotions. We condemn cheating and respect marriage contracts in reality, but why do we cheer similar behaviors in fictional works? This may be because we subconsciously regard the virtual world as a moral "exempt zone." But morality should not be double-standard - if we agree that loyalty is beautiful, we should not portray breaking loyalty as a "charm" in stories; if we are opposed to bullying in reality, we should not glorify "conquering the love of others" as a heroic narrative in fiction.

Come on, come on, gather your troops quickly, don't make any noise and cause trouble, the school grounds are paying today, so you don't need to bring armored troops!

It is a hundred times better than those historical novels that are full of loopholes and poisonous. Although the pace is much slower than that book, and it is not as exciting as that book, historical novels that respect logic are good books. To read such mindless and refreshing historical novels, I might as well read fantasy By the way, I have been poisoned by that author several times.
