Interesting History
Some people say history is a whore that anyone can have their way with. I want to see what she looked like before she lost her virginity.

Has Lao Gu changed his online persona? Could you please tell me?
The writing style is too rigid.
The author did a lot of research and used vivid language, but the writing style was too stiff. He often interrupts his narrative with abrupt shifts to unrelated topics, leading me to believe that his stories were edited (though comparisons with other sources suggest that most were not edited). Furthermore, he doesn't pay much attention to prioritization or brevity in his narration.
This book was quite good for a book published more than ten years ago.
Gu Long's masterpieces, Gu Long's new works, Gu Long's classic works, Jin Yong's new works, Jin Yong's masterpieces—back when martial arts novels were popular, there were many counterfeit authors, imposters, and authors who randomly pasted popular authors' names onto other people's novels.
The protagonist you chose is such a loser! A music student, a pimp for the rich, clueless about geography, trying to travel overland from Europe across Siberia and the Mongolian steppe back to the Ming Dynasty with a fortune! He's only alive now thanks to the author's kindness. The sea route may be far, but he could have gone to Macau or Guangzhou, bought a ship, and hired more guards—wouldn't that have been better?
The concept was excellent, starting with Russia and changing the map to cover most of Asia and Europe, leveraging the advantages of the late Ming Dynasty. The protagonist's initial enslavement and gradual rise to power was also better than typical wish-fulfillment stories. However, why did I abandon it halfway through? 1. What was the protagonist's life goal? It seemed unclear; 2.
After reading online novels for over a decade, I'm now rereading older works like Guan Guan and Cat Jump...
His first book was called *Water Margin: The Romance of the Three Kingdoms*, a humorous and witty story. The protagonist's surname was Xu, or maybe not, I can't remember. I don't know why that book disappeared. It's a distant memory, without a trace, slowly forgotten. Isn't it said that the internet has a memory?
They actually replied! I remember this book was also banned.
A tribute to the classics of harmony, may the brain-dead (general) (bureau) die, offer incense, offer wine!
