New Ming, 1644

You actually want to give up military power. If you have military power, Nanming and the gang won't dare to touch you. Without military power, you are nothing. You can't expect them to succeed in terms of their internal fighting in history, and it's disgusting to me to lick Kong's house.

"Slaves": Eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty called themselves "slaves". "Emperor": The Ming Dynasty rarely called the emperor this way, but it was commonly used in the Qing Dynasty. "son": The Ming Dynasty princes did not call themselves this in front of the emperor. "Aiqing": Before the Qing Dynasty, emperors rarely called officials this way. "Memorial, Zhezi": This only appeared in the Qing Dynasty. Although it is the same document as the memorial, the difference is huge. "Futai, Fantai, Niantai": These are the names of the Qing Dynasty. Those with "Tai" were all commonly used in the Qing Dynasty, and were rarely used in the Ming Dynasty. "Master": In the Ming Dynasty, only top nobles and first- and second-rank officials were allowed. State and county officials were not called "Master".

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, only money orders circulated among local acquaintances. "Greetings": Etiquette among officials and bannermen in the Qing Dynasty.

Only in the Qing Dynasty did all eunuchs be collectively called eunuchs. "Our family": Eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty called themselves "I" to their subordinates, not our family.

"Kneeling Ceremony": Ming Dynasty officials temporarily knelt down when presenting to the emperor and stood up immediately after the ceremony. Subordinates do not easily bow down to superior officials. In the Qing Dynasty, emperors often knelt down to listen for a long time, and subordinates also generally knelt down and knelt down when meeting their superiors. There are also many words commonly used by banner people after the Qing Dynasty: Leave here, leave, errand, be on errand, return errand, master, reward some future, dare to love, grace,... Come,...

The historical genre is quite a test of writing skills and literary attainments. So far, it seems to be okay. The plot is progressing steadily and has a lot of details. I look forward to the subsequent plots being more exciting and interesting.

The most disappointing thing about reading history is never the change of dynasties, but the fact that China was supposed to be moving forward brilliantly, but instead it was suppressed and stagnated for three hundred years. Throughout the dynasties, China's political power has changed countless times, and no one has ever been dissatisfied. Because the Han Dynasty ruled Kyushu, it was always inclusive and open to all rivers. You can wear Hanfu, Miao clothes, Mongolian robes, or Dai ornaments as you like. Customs will not be abolished, cultural context will not be extinguished, ethnic groups will not be restricted, and tolerance and symbiosis will exist. This is the confidence and vision that China has remained standing for thousands of years. But after Jiashen, everything changed. Many people mistakenly believe that unwillingness means rejecting national integration. Absolutely not. The real unwillingness is that the Manchus entered the customs, which is not integration but isolation; not co-governance but captivity; not inheritance but annihilation of generations. First, ethnic segregation and top-down oppression of privilege. The Manchus had a sparse population, but they always harbored extreme suspicion towards the hundreds of millions of Han people. So the city was built, the superiors and inferiors were distinguished, barriers were drawn up, and privileges were determined. The Eight Banners are high above all the people. They do not work or produce. They are supported by the people of the world from generation to generation. The so-called national integration has disappeared. Instead, there is the alienation from the superior, the wariness of never trusting, and the suppression of the hierarchy. Treat hundreds of millions of people as sheep that need to be tamed, imprisoned, and guarded. Second, it strangled the sprouts of the late Ming Dynasty and cut off China's modern way out. In the last hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, the handicraft industry in Jiangnan flourished, commerce flourished, factories were numerous, and markets flourished. Capitalism sprouts from the ground, and science and technology, craftsmanship, commerce, and citizen culture are fully awakened. That was the best window period for China to enter modern civilization. The Qing Dynasty entered the customs and in order to consolidate the imperial power, all civilian vitality was blocked across the board. Industry and commerce are restricted, technology is suppressed, innovation is prohibited, and capital is suppressed. Any new business format, advanced technology, or ideological breakthrough among the people will be regarded as a hidden danger and suppressed. Third, the people are kept ignorant and trapped, deliberately creating ignorance for generations. The most terrifying thing about the Qing court was not its tyranny, but its systematic ignorance of the people. Consolidate stereotypes, lock down scientific research, castrate thoughts, and prohibit the study of objects to gain knowledge. Don't let the common people study, don't let the scholars seek truth, don't let the people explore the truth of all things. The rulers know very well: As soon as the people's wisdom is opened, the privileges will be in danger; once the people's awareness is awakened, the imprisonment will be broken. Thus, for three hundred years, ideas stagnated, science and technology went dormant, and cultural context died. Scholars have spent their whole lives devoted to stereotypes, while ordinary people have been ignorant and numb for generations, completely losing the possibility of breaking through class, exploring the world, and innovating civilization. Looking through the photos of the late Qing Dynasty, we can see that the Chinese people have haggard faces, scattered expressions, stooped bodies, and disfigured faces. This is not genetic degeneration, this is the scar of the times left by three hundred years of high-pressure confinement, nutritional deficiencies, mental depression, and loss of vitality. Today's people live a prosperous life, are well-nourished, and have broad cognition. Only then have their height, body shape, appearance, and temperament slowly returned to the handsomeness and elegance of the Qin and Han Dynasties. This is the revival of civilization and the rejuvenation of luck. Fourth, locking down technology and selfishness ruin the entire modern national destiny. The most chilling thing is that the Qing royal family did not understand Western learning, but they understood it but deliberately did not let the common people understand it. Qianlong was familiar with Western physics, versed in mechanical principles, and connected with the European royal family. But he regards advanced technology as the emperor's private play, sealing it deep in the palace and never releasing it to the outside world. With the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, and the explosion of science and technology, Europe is entering modern civilization at full speed. The Qing Dynasty went in the opposite direction: suppressing the investigation of things, blocking new knowledge, resisting railways, rejecting machinery, and resisting change. The upper class is a bird in a cage, drunk and dreaming, and is stubborn; The lower class is ignorant, hardworking, and trapped for generations. The ruling class is extremely selfish and narrow-minded: It would rather stagnate the country than allow the people to awaken their wisdom; they would rather regress civilization than shake the privileged rule. As a result, China completely missed the entire golden age of the modern industrial revolution. What we got in the end was the decline of national power, backward civilization, opening of the country's gates, invasion by coalition forces, broken mountains and rivers, a century of national humiliation, and thousands of unequal treaties. This is the deepest, most painful, and most difficult reluctance in everyone's hearts after Jiashen. We are not afraid of changes in government. We are not afraid of ethnic integration. We are not afraid of the ups and downs of time. What hurts us the most is: China originally had light, but it was artificially extinguished; Civilization originally had a way forward, but it was artificially blocked; The people originally had vitality, but it was artificially imprisoned; The era originally had a leap, but it was artificially ruined. Three hundred years of destruction is not destiny, but a man-made disaster. It's not reincarnation, it's narrow-mindedness. It's not fate, it's selfishness. Reading Jiashen again today, I feel unwilling to accept it, but it is never hatred. It is regretful, sad, respectful of civilization, and courageous after knowing shame. Only by knowing the pain of stagnation in the past can we understand the value of openness today. Only when you know the pain of being imprisoned can you know the importance of freedom and new knowledge. The mountains and rivers are still there, and the cultural context is shining brightly. Today, China finally holds its head high and returns to its peak.

The late Ming Dynasty is an era that makes countless people sigh. We look forward to a different future blooming after integrating ancient martial arts, so that the sun and moon can regain their brightness.

The grass-roots team in Nanming, with military power, I can advance and retreat freely. Those without military power are just salted fish and lick the Confucius family. If I have a chance, it would be weird if I don't pretend to be bandits and Tatars and kill all the Confucius family. From now on, the imperial court will send commissioners to worship Saint Kong and respect Confucius, but not support the Confucius family.

Why assist so-and-so?

What does the introduction mean? Where did the Mingjun and the lonely minister of Nanming come from? Who is it?

There are very few novels in the late Ming Dynasty that are so realistic. This book is very innovative and has opened up a new path for Qidian novels in the late Ming Dynasty. I look forward to the author's subsequent thoughts. The focus is still on the issue of soldiers.

The author has a strong historical background. Through the author's description, I learned a lot about the historical facts of the late Ming Dynasty that I had never known before. This is the first time I have seen such a rigorous novel about the late Ming Dynasty. It is worth reading carefully.
