Revealing My Identity, I Become Deputy Emperor of Shu-Han

The author has published a new book on the Three Kingdoms, but I still feel that the author's style is similar to that of his younger brother Zhuge Liang, and I often read it a bit confusing. But the most interesting thing is that the two authors have completely opposite attitudes towards Jia Xu. The Basilisk player likes Jia Xu very much, but the one who plays Basilisk must kill Jia Xu every time. So interesting.

First of all, in terms of character, he is undoubtedly the moral benchmark among the major princes of the Three Kingdoms. Some people question that Liu Bei is acting and is a villain. So if we use this as a basis, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, etc. Who followed Liu Bei for half his life are stupid and bad. They were deceived by a villain like Liu Bei. Are Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, etc. Stupid and bad? Secondly, in terms of ability, during the Three Kingdoms period, the powerful clans were at their peak. Liu Bei started from a grassroots and became emperor. There is no need to prove his ability at all. Even if The Romance of the Three Kingdoms praises Liu and demotes Cao, it at least has a basis for praise. Are there any historical books that say Liu Bei is hypocritical? People who are hypocritical benevolence and righteousness remain true all their lives.

Take retting as an example. Even though it is just a small order, it is implemented in every piece of farmland. It will not be implemented in Yizhou for two or three years. The farmer has his own ideas and will not listen to the rumors until he sees a real increase in grain production. And being able to learn the enemy's technology in a short period of time is an exaggeration to the extreme. First of all, it is impossible for intelligence to pay attention to this. With the information transmission technology of the Three Kingdoms period, the most intelligence that could be sent back was "Hanzhong is organizing farming". It is impossible for Cao Wei to pay attention to this intelligence. At least it will take at least two or three consecutive good harvests in Hanzhong before Cao Wei will pay attention. Oh, why did Shu suddenly have more food and grass?

I feel that the author's writing is good but not popular because there is too little plot and you are all writing about your own thoughts. It is too niche to watch.

1.: Technology is the only unpredictable and unhedgeable variable Politics, economy, population, terrain, and tactics of war are all involution in the same dimension. We are all in the age of cold weapons, and the battle is: - Who has more soldiers - Who has enough food - Who has a strong commander - Who has stable internal affairs In this case, the population of Cao Wei is three or four times that of Shu Han, so it will naturally crush them. But once modern technology is added, the nature immediately changes: This is not a competition of national strength, but a difference in civilization. 2. What does it mean to triple the food supply and increase the population from 1 million to nearly 3 million? - Three-crop rice = exponential increase in grain output - Household registration revealed hidden households = military resources and tax base were doubled and then doubled The Shu Han Dynasty was originally: Using one state to fight against the world, the national power was extremely overdrawn. As soon as the protagonist comes, it directly becomes: Using the land of one state to create a national power the size of three states. Once the logistics are stable, Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition will no longer be about "attacking instead of defending and gambling on the fate of the country", but going forward steadily and pushing forward. 3. Black powder + monopolized raw materials = real dimensionality reduction attack You are very accurate on this point: The main producing areas of saltpeter and sulfur are in Hanzhong and Longxi. The protagonist only needs to: - Capture Hanzhong - Capture Longxi (Liangzhou) to have a near monopoly on gunpowder raw materials. What are the consequences? - City wall? The explosive pack collapses as soon as it explodes - Concentrated military formation? Gunpowder explosion + arson directly disperse - Cavalry charge? Fire attack + explosion directly disrupts the formation - A defensive advantage? Completely invalid Even if Cao Wei stole the formula, he would not be able to make it without the raw materials. This is not a weapon gap, it is a rule rewriting. All the war experience, formations, and abilities of famous generals in the cold weapon era are all ineffective in the face of gunpowder. 4. Population advantage is really useless in the face of generational differences You said: It is useless to have three or four times the enemy's population. If I have you, there is no solution. Exactly correct. History: - A few hundred European colonists can destroy an empire with a population of millions in America - The modern Qing army with one million troops cannot stop thousands of firearms troops The essence is: In the face of generational differences, quantity is meaningless. Shu Han has gunpowder, no matter how many people Cao Wei has, it will only be: - More casualties - More retreats - More surrenders It cannot constitute effective resistance at all. 5. The final summary is completely in line with your feelings In this novel: - In the past, the Shu Han relied on talents who defied the heavens to survive - Now it depends on the generation difference of science and technology Politics, economy, population, terrain, military tactics... Everything that can be calculated and rolled is not worth mentioning in the face of technology. As long as the protagonist does not waste or give away, it is only a matter of time before the Shu Han will push the north. Technology is the real unreasonable national strength.

Even after 1700 years, people still want the prime minister to win once

Is it too late to travel through time? Can we still call it "Three Kingdoms" if those classic characters are gone?

Speaking of aristocratic families, capitalists are the kingly way to turn some aristocratic families into factory owners. China has been in the agricultural civilization for thousands of years and has been reforming on limited land. It is useless to change it over and over again.

Let's talk about a few points. It's one thing to suppress aristocratic families, but what class are you going to fill with to fight against aristocratic families? Forget it about the imperial examination and so on. This thing is going too far. All talents are seeking officialdom, and the most deceiving thing is that they only study one subject.

Is there something wrong with the title of this book? In the era of Fengjian autocracy, do you want to be the deputy emperor? 🥵
