In September of the fourth year of the Yongli reign, in order to completely defeat the Ming army under the Lu Regent system entrenched in the Zhoushan Islands, the Qing army first launched a campaign to suppress the anti-Qing forces in Siming Mountain, which were aligned with the Ming forces. In this battle, after defeating the main force of the local Ming army, the Qing army carried out a bloody campaign to cleanse the mountains. From then on, the Siming Mountain region, which had once experienced a population surge due to the ethnic oppression of the Manchus, was no longer able to organize large-scale anti-Qing armed forces. The fall of Siming Mountain directly led to the isolation and lack of support of the Ming army under the Lu Regent system in the Battle of Zhoushan a year later, as well as the complete collapse of the anti-Qing situation in Zhejiang. In July of the fourth year of the Yongli reign, time traveler Chen Wen unexpectedly appeared in this place. On this land once protected by the famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang, he restarted the path of China's military modernization, which had been forcibly interrupted decades ago, in the name of rebuilding the Qi Family Army. From then on, they turned the tide, saved the collapsing edifice, drove out the invaders, restored China, saved the people, and rebuilt Chinese civilization! Book club: 519264778

The power struggles between the Eastern Depot, Western Depot, Inner Depot, and Outer Court; the story of imperial envoys eliminating corrupt officials; the suppression of Japanese pirates, the expulsion of the Tatars, the annihilation of the Duzhang barbarians, and the great battle against the Portuguese; the lifting of the maritime ban and the migration to Siberia… a series of exciting stories unfold… The fate of a nation and an individual is like a ship in the long river of history. Because of his unexpected appearance, will this giant ship, which was originally destined to decline, deviate from its course?

45 大 The Great Ming Geomancer 大明地师 Qi Cheng齐橙Historical1.4M WordsCompleted The year was 1589, the seventeenth year of the Wanli Emperor’s reign in the Ming dynasty. Zhang Juzheng, the powerful minister, was dead. Qi Jiguang, who loved to wage war, was dead. Hai Rui, who loved to give the nobility a hard time, was dead too. The Wanli Emperor had grown tired of arguing with his ministers and shut himself away in the palace, no longer holding court. Thus began the bizarre era of “thirty years without imperial sacrifices, hunting trips, or court audiences.” Time continued 0Votes87.2kRecs76.4kFans

1589 AD, the seventeenth year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty. The autocratic Zhang Juzheng died, the war-loving Qi Jiguang died, and the troublemaker Hai Rui also died. Emperor Wanli got tired of arguing with his court officials and stayed in the 11th li (a city in Taiwan) and stopped attending court, thus beginning the bizarre era of "thirty years without going to the suburbs, the countryside, or court." Time continued to flow, the streets remained prosperous and peaceful, and ordinary people were keen on gossiping, listening to music, traveling, gambling, visiting prostitutes, collecting, and enjoying flowers, insects, fish, and birds... Amidst the hustle and bustle, no one knew that on the other side of the continent, Europeans were setting sail to explore the world; and amidst the clinking of glasses, no one paid attention to the fact that in the far north, Nurhaci, the leader of the Jianzhou Jurchens, was preparing his army, coveting the vast lands of the Ming Dynasty. Su Hao, a geologist from a later era, transmigrated into the body of a peasant scholar in Fengcheng County, Nanchang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province. Witness how the great Ming Dynasty geomancers will dominate the world and create a new era of prosperity for the people and strength for the nation.

A family that accumulates good deeds will surely have abundant blessings. These blessings, these blessings, will lead to unexpected encounters with benefactors; I am fortunate to have my mother, fortunate to have my mother, for she has accumulated unseen merit. I advise people to help the poor and needy… But who knows that in this world, while we inherit blessings from our ancestors, we must ultimately make our own choices about our path, just as a branch sprouts from a fork in the road: The east wind brings clouds and rain, and young vines sprout new buds. Urgent as a drumbeat, washing away all the velvet and splendor. Wait for the morning sun to rise, and the trellis in the courtyard will be covered in green. I long for the yellow leaves to fall, so I can harvest a few melons. The TV series "Joy of Life," starring Zhang Ruoyun, Li Qin, Chen Daoming, and Wu Gang, premiered on Tencent Video and iQiyi on November 26.

[A work signed by the fourth editorial team of Qidian.com] Five great joys in life: Seeing all the world's beauties, hearing all the world's wonderful sounds, wearing the finest clothes, and hearing the most wonderful words—this is the greatest joy. With tripods displayed in front of the hall, music played behind the hall, guests filling the seats, and the shadows of flowers shimmering on their robes, this is the second greatest joy. The house houses ten thousand volumes of books, and more than ten close friends compose poems to compete with each other; this is the third joy. To spend a fortune to buy a boat, with music and a few concubines, to drift on the water, oblivious to the approach of old age—this is the fourth pleasure. More than ten years later, his family fortune was gone, he was in a sorry state, living hand to mouth, begging for alms in brothels, sharing meals with the elderly and orphans, and visiting his fellow villagers without any shame. This was the fifth kind of happiness.

Curator note

I was everywhere – from suppressing the feudal lords during the Jingnan Campaign, to moving the capital and revising the classics, to conquering the Mongols and going to Southeast Asia – yet no one knew I was there. Keep a low profile! Keeping a low profile is the key to success. His tortuous lifeline and the continuation of a passive fate led to his rise and counterattack. The seemingly powerless imposter reversed its passive situation and created a new landscape for the entire related environment! The turbulent struggle for the throne, the step-by-step reforms to weaken the power of the princes, the glorious moment of the Yongle Encyclopedia, the manipulation of the world by changing the capital, the pacification of the internal and external affairs, all the events, big and small, cannot erase his shadow or cover up his footprints in all the glory! The early Ming Dynasty was a period of constant turmoil. It was an era of receding instability, yet a group of heroes and ruthless figures stirred history, propelling the Ming Dynasty's rule to its first peak! In such a historical context, how did an ordinary person from modern times manage to manipulate events, intervene in such turbulent times, and achieve his own quiet brilliance?
