The anti-Qing people must come to help, I recommend starting
Success is also information, failure is also information
It can be seen that the author checked some information, which is good, but the bad thing is this. This is a novel, not a historical prose. You are advancing from battle to battle according to the timeline of historical data, without any transition or climax plot. Secondly, there is too much background foreshadowing, which is often repeated and contradicts the logic of your novel. For example, you foreshadowed the internal conflicts of the Qing army too early, and the foreshadowing made people think that the battle could be won immediately, but it turned out not to be the case. This may be the information you found, but you can selectively use this information at the appropriate time, instead of showing us what you found and copying and pasting it for us to read again. In addition, there are a lot of repetitive sentences, (hair growth, handsomeness, muscles...) Oh, the author also likes to use parentheses, which is completely unnecessary.
What does the author say? He is too obsessed with historical celebrities. In fact, the talents of one county are enough to rule the world. Like Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, do they really think that the county where they are located has outstanding people and can produce so many civil servants and generals? Wrong, talents are available everywhere. The talents of one county are enough to govern the world. Don't forget, people can learn and grow step by step. It's just that talents from many places around the world lack a stage, let alone opportunities to showcase themselves.
There are too many adjectives, the actual content is empty, the chapters and plots advance slowly, and there are too many psychological descriptions, making it seem long-winded and procrastinating.
The combination of orthodoxy and pay can't work in Dongda University. It's all heretical and fallacious theories. It's fundamentally based on injustice and taking advantage of opportunities. Relying on false superstition can only deceive the stupid people and fool women. It will only make them hot-headed for a while, but it won't last long and will be backlashed. They will definitely die in shame. In the distance, there are Zhangjiao Taiping Taoism, Sun En's Five Dou Rice Taoism, Faqing Mahayana Sect, Fang La Manichaeism, Hanshan Tong Bailian Sect, Xu Hongru Wenxiang Sect, and nearby Wang Cong'er White Lotus Sect, Lin Qingtian Li Sect, Hong Xiuquan God Worship Sect, Zhao Sanduo Quanhui, etc. If you search carefully, you will find that in troubled times, these mobs serve as pioneers and wedding dresses for those who come after them. They were the first to revolt. However, due to their ineradicable congenital diseases, it was they who were sacrificed in the end. It is recommended that if the protagonist wants to set a precedent like Lao Li and Lao Zhu, he should leave the team after growing up and work alone. If he wants to occupy the magpie's nest instead, this nest is actually the same. It is a huge pit, and many of the shackles and stubborn diseases in it are original and systemic structural problems. It is much more difficult to tear down and rebuild than to open a single one. It is garbage in itself. Towering trees cannot grow in the garbage heap. In the system of the Red Turban Army in the late Yuan Dynasty, Lao Zhu and Bianjing Han Shantong had a cooperative relationship. Once they established a foothold in Jiangnan, they immediately drew a clear line and parted ways. Lao Zhu's thinking was very clear. He was not the same as those who jumped the big rope at all.
The Taiping Army's Yong'an organization is a joke
There are not three or five cities, there are not two or three states in the land, and a single Caotou village can confer kings on it. Everyone is a king, so why should they listen to you, the King of Heaven and King Dong? It can be seen that they are proud of themselves and get carried away, and all the institutions are simply a joke. Shengku has no solution to the specific problems it faces, but it is very enthusiastic about the invention and creation of false names such as "Holy Calendar", "Nine Thousand Years Old", "Good Man" and "General". It seems to be the kind of copycat bandit Caotai team in the troubled times of the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. It is not like a human king, and a rabbit's tail cannot grow. Actually, I don't mean to laugh at the mud-legged people for their lack of vision. Lao Zhu is also a mud-legged person, but people know the principle of "build walls high, accumulate food widely, and be king slowly", and although they despise the gentry in their hearts, at least on the surface they are still thirsty for talents in the entrepreneurial stage, such as Li Shanchang and Li Shanchang. Zhu Sheng and other counselors recruited talents and took advice, and also treated Liu Ji, Song Lian and other Zhejiang factions who came to join the army with great courtesy, forming a group of literati represented by the three great masters of the early Ming Dynasty, the four outstanding talents of Wuzhong, the ten talents of Beiguo, and the ten talents of central Fujian. And this is not only true for famous literati and high-level talents, but also for local gentry. Don't look at the shouts of beating and killing in "The Great Edict", and they are skinned and weeded and set up in prisons. However, the privileges and exemptions for the gentry start from him and benefit the entire level. His method of uniting the majority and accurately attacking a small group is also quite clever. What is commendable about the Taiping Army is their spirit of resistance. Therefore, although they destroyed families and damaged countless cultural relics along the way (such as the Glazed Pagoda of Jinling Da Baoen Temple), and the entrepreneurial group was also a hodgepodge of backward elements such as superstition, provincial party, nepotism, etc., For the sake of the grand historical narrative, the New Dynasty still spared no effort to clear the land for the old peasant brothers. In fact, the fall of the bloody kings in Tianjing was not accidental but inevitable. In history, Green Forest Red Eyebrow and Huang Chao Li Zicheng have demonstrated it again and again. Not everyone is Lao Zhu who dares to attack his own people with the blade of his sword. Lao Zhu changed his name from "Guorui" to "Yuan". "Zhang" - the sharp blade that ended the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang is a sharp jade; the country was named "Da Ming" - using the Qian hexagram of the Book of Changes "Da Ming always" to defeat "Da Zai Qian Yuan". From the beginning to the end, their slogans and programs were very clear, and their determination and will would not deviate from the main line. I can't help but think of my third brother, Ambedkar, who led 500,000 untouchables to found New Buddhism in order to oppose caste. In just a few years, more than 70 "new castes" were divided within the country, which is even more ironic than the original four major castes.
As a historical novel that focuses on events, the author takes it for granted. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, as farmers, the proletariat, the Hunan Army, the landlord class represented by Chu Yong, and the gentry class, are in natural opposition. You will die and I will die. How can I bow to you with a few words? You want other people's fields, other people's money and food, and you want the rights in their hands. Find out about the Ming Dynasty. People will always resist the king. The Ming Dynasty introduced the Qing Dynasty into the customs. They will not give up everything in their hands. They will bow to you. It's a given. People would be slaves under the Qing Dynasty and then keep the fields, money, food, and rights in their hands. If you want to take these away from them, even the Ming emperor would dare to change them, let alone a rebel like you.
Did the author strengthen Zeng Guofan too much? Historically, Zeng Shao started to organize regiment training in November of the second year of Xianfeng. When Hunan was generally stable, it took a year to raise funds and organize it. By the fourth year of Xianfeng, a Hunan army of 11,000 people was formed, and it was difficult to say how strong the combat effectiveness was. He sent Bo Da to Jinggang as soon as he came out of the mountain. The current situation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Hunan is worse than in history, and even the provincial capital was lost. However, Zeng Guofan not only left the army earlier, but also trained a group of combat-effective regiments faster, and his organizational ability was greatly improved. In fact, given Zeng Guofan's forbearing character, at this point he is more likely to use the name of filial piety to protect himself and wait and see the situation, instead of hastily organizing group training to fight the Taiping Army.
Hong Yang is really not a thing. Others are not allowed to live a normal married life. Marrying dozens of queens is not a good thing. It is just for your own selfishness. There is no need to flatter them.
How to put it this way, the identity of the protagonist is actually quite embarrassing. Shi Dakai's Guixian Hakka faction is not the mainstream within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It is far less popular than the founders of Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan and the charcoal-burning workers of Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui. Shi Dakai himself can only leave Tianjing, let alone the protagonist. It is basically impossible to inherit the political legacy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Moreover, Shi Dakai's Guixian Hakka faction is either a relative of Shi Zhenji and Shi Xiangzhen, or a father-in-law and nephew family like Huang Yukun and Huang Guisheng. The protagonist has a foreign surname. I don't think he can even inherit the legacy of Wing King Shi Dakai.
