Records of the War of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms

1. Fit the historical framework: Respect the real timeline of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, with important historical events (907-979) (such as Zhu Wen usurping the Tang Dynasty, Li Cunxu establishing the Later Tang Dynasty, Shi Jingtang cutting Youyun Sixteen States, etc.) As the background. The protagonist actively integrates into the historical gaps, does not tamper with the core historical trend, and only creates history in the struggle of local forces. 2. The military and political system is authentic: refer to the records of "Old History of the Five Dynasties" and "New History of the Five Dynasties" to restore the military system of the Five Dynasties (forbidden army, vassal army, rural soldiers), official positions (Jiedushi, defense envoy, command envoy, etc.), Tax system, weapons and equipment (Mingguang armor, Modao, crossbows, trebuchets, etc.) In line with the characteristics of the times, and the tactical description follows the combat logic of the cold weapon era. 3. Character creation is easy: the protagonist Shen Yan is not perfect. He has an obsession with revenge in the early stage, and later faces choices and growth in power. He has the decisiveness of an iron-blooded general and the strategy and benevolence of a politician; the supporting characters (such as Wang Yanzhang, Li Cunxu, Zhu Wen, etc.) Are based on historical prototypes, given reasonable personalities and motivations, and avoid stereotypes. 4. Accurate geographical territory: Based on the territorial maps of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the scope of each country's separate territories, important city locations, and transportation thoroughfares are restored. The geographical description of war scenes fits the actual terrain (such as the Yellow River, Huaihe River, Taihang Mountains, etc.) And conforms to the geographical restrictions of ancient marching operations.
