Ming Dynasty Historical Literature

I believe there are many people like me who lament the demise of the Ming Dynasty and are dissatisfied with the establishment of the Qing Dynasty. Then this book is a good place for you to relax, because this book tells the story of how the protagonist resisted and defeated the Qing army in the late Ming Dynasty, and finally ascended to power. In addition, the Chinese believe in their bones that "princes, generals, and prime ministers should rather have their own kind", so the fact that the people at the bottom were able to become princes and prime ministers is also praised and widely circulated. The protagonist of this book climbs up step by step from being a beggar to a domestic servant and finally succeeds. Compared with novels about the success of a noble man, of course this book makes ordinary people like us feel more involved. Suitable for the crowd: This book is more suitable for book lovers who like the history of the late Ming Dynasty, hate the Qing Dynasty, and like historical research. Work rating: 8 (The plot is smooth and natural, and the history is sophisticated. The writing is good, the characters are well created, and they are flesh and blood.) Content summary: This book tells the story of an ordinary modern person who traveled back in time to the Chongzhen period of the late Ming Dynasty. Through his own efforts, he defeated the Qing army, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, promoted overseas expansion and the industrial revolution, and finally recreated the Chinese dynasty. Author: Lao Wang is also an old author, with about ten completed works. In the early days, he wrote entertainment articles, and now he mainly writes historical articles. Because he is an old author, his writing skills have gradually matured in the past few years, so the novel is written very steadily. The characters and writing style in the book have always remained consistent, and there has been no big collapse later, so please feel free to enter the pit. And the rhythm is very good, which makes readers feel happy. Personal review: Let's talk about the protagonist of this book first. The protagonist of this book was an ordinary person before time travel, and his success is inseparable from personal efforts. Although he came from a poor background, he did not give up hope, constantly learned to adapt to the knowledge of the late Ming Dynasty, and combined it with the knowledge of modern society, and finally succeeded. In addition, the protagonist values ​​​​love and justice and is not a virgin. For the little sisters who support each other, they have never kicked away this "burden" even if they have reached the point of begging. And for other people or countries that infringe on their own interests, they will strike hard and not be sloppy. How can you not love the protagonist who is decisive in killing? In addition, the values ​​​​in this book are also very commendable. For example, it always advocates equality for everyone, and the protagonist has always advocated and effectively promoted this view. Even the name of the regime is the beautiful vision of Datong. When I saw the first time the protagonist proposed lattice theory in Chapter 62, I decided to follow this article to the end. If the historical process remains the same after traveling through time, then what's the point of reading this novel? Moreover, in the late Ming Dynasty, there was the soil to promote industrialization and realize personality equality. What was lacking may be a driving force like the protagonist. In short, this book is a good time travel story about the late Ming Dynasty. If nothing else, it is worth reading just for the Datong regime of 30 million square kilometers at the end.

I don't know how many people know about Zhu Chongba's eldest grandson (Zhu Biao's eldest son) Zhu Xiongying. He was personally raised by Zhu Chongba and loved in every way. Even his name was different from that of other grandchildren (the others were all born with the character "Yun"). It's a pity that he passed away at a young age. If he is still alive, he will definitely inherit the throne. Then the direction of the Ming Dynasty should be very different. This book is about Zhu Xiongying as the protagonist. However, the protagonist only traveled through time after Zhu Xiongying died, so he was not in the palace. Instead, he was washed to the riverside because of the collapse of the tomb, and he has no memory of his previous life. Fortunately, he was picked up by his adoptive father, and he began to work hard and create a huge business empire. Doing business cannot avoid Yingtian Mansion in the capital, and the protagonist who looks exactly like Zhu Biao will inevitably meet Zhu Chongba. The process from meeting to recognizing each other is very attractive. Suitable for the crowd: This book is more suitable for book lovers who like the history of the early Ming Dynasty, are not that fond of Zhu Di (it doesn't matter if he loses the throne), and do not have too many requirements for the rigor of history (normally, Zhu Chongba and others would not believe in resurrection from the dead, let alone recognize each other twenty years later). Rating of the work: 7 (The setting is good, and how to recognize each other in the early stage is also very attractive. However, in the middle and late stages, because the protagonist's power background is too strong, there are no difficulties and it is a bit boring and procrastinating.) Content summary: This book tells the story of a modern person who time travels into the body of his deceased eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying. Fortunately, he was picked up by his adoptive father. He established a huge chamber of commerce with his own efforts, and later met Zhu Chongba and became the ruler of the empire. Personal review: I think the setting is very good. Although knowing each other for twenty years is a bit ridiculous, I have to say that this kind of plot has been passed down for thousands of years without changing. It has its advantages. At least it will be very attractive to readers until they meet each other. In addition, it also pave the way for various reforms in the following chapters, because with the blessing of this identity, the protagonist can fully display what he has learned and make the Ming Dynasty better. At the same time, the family relationship created in this article is also good. Zhu Chongba supports the protagonist almost unconditionally. The two of them usually bickered and bickered like ordinary grandparents. The first time the two really quarreled was over the construction of the railway. Although there are disputes, it is just a collision of ideas between two generations. What the protagonist wants is social progress, while Zhu Chongba only hopes that his grandson can stabilize his country. In essence, he is still thinking about the protagonist.

Zhu Qizhen was a man who ruined a good hand and turned the Ming Dynasty from prosperity to decline. Most book friends are angry at him and ridicule him as the "Fortress", "God of War of the Ming Dynasty", "foreign student", etc. They think that if they were replaced by him, with three Yangs in literature and Zhang Fu in military affairs, at least the Ming Dynasty would not decline. However, what should we do if the time traveled is exactly when we are in Tumubao? The book starts from here. Although there are various unrealistic places, such as not asking Zhang Fu and other generals, but instead leading the team to rush forward desperately, and then still succeed. But I have to say, regardless of its rationality, it is really fun to watch the protagonist break out and roam the grassland. Suitable for the crowd: This book is suitable for book lovers who like the history of the Ming Dynasty, are eager to change the ending of Tumubao, is not very murderous (the protagonist releases Mongolian women and children on the grassland without killing them), and does not attach much importance to rationality. Rating of the work: 6 (The setting is very novel, at least I have not read other historical articles about Zhu Qizhen. The plot of the breakout and the crossing of the grassland is quite exciting. But sometimes it lacks rationality. The writing style is also average. The heroine is not very likable.) Content summary: This book tells the story of a modern person who traveled to Zhu Qi Town in Tumubao. Through personal efforts, he survived the desperate situation, returned to Beijing smoothly, and made the Ming Dynasty stronger. Personal review: The setting is very novel, and it is the expectation of most book lovers, including me, to change the outcome of Tumu Fort, an incident that turned the Ming Dynasty from prosperity to decline. In the first few dozen chapters, the plot of breaking through the siege and traversing the grassland is also very exciting. In addition, I will talk about something that some book friends find poisonous, namely the release of Mongolian women and children. I think there is nothing wrong with this. Although it is unrealistic, you cannot deny the correctness of this value. Although for the emperor, women's benevolence is not advisable and may lead to them being surrounded and suppressed in the grasslands, it does not necessarily lead to their failure and capture. Forget it in reality, but can't we still maintain an idealistic spirit in novels? Personal complaints: I don't like the heroine. Firstly, I don't think there's anything good about her. Instead, in order to highlight her intelligence, she makes other people smarter, which is a bit strange. Secondly, it's unrealistic. The emperor is rich all over the world, why should he be with the saint of the White Lotus who wants to overthrow him all day long? Even if he doesn't care, how can all the civil and military officials not care.

Zhu Qiyu, the emperor who tried to turn the tide but failed to die well. Most book friends feel sympathy and pity for him. He obviously saved the country, but because of poor health and no offspring, he was taken advantage of by careerists and abandoned by ministers, so that the throne eventually returned to his useless brother. If he had descendants, would the situation be very different? This book allows the protagonist to travel through time and become his son who died young in history, making his throne more stable and preventing the "Bao Sect" from seizing the throne. They even killed him and gave him the posthumous title "Bao". What a big irony. But this kind of plot really attracted me deeply and made me very happy. Suitable for the crowd: This book is suitable for book lovers who like the history of the Ming Dynasty, hate Zhu Qizhen and Tumubao, sympathize with Zhu Qiyu, and hope that he can have a happy ending. Rating of the work: 6 (The setting is very attractive. Preventing the coup and even killing Baozong is really a satisfying thing. However, the author's writing skills are average, and the plot after Baozong's death is quite satisfactory, with nothing memorable.) Content summary: This book tells the story of a modern person who traveled through time and became Zhu Qiyu's eldest son. He used his understanding of history to make plans in advance to prevent the coup, kill the Baozong, and finally ascend to the throne. Personal review: As I said before, the early setting of this book is really good. Everyone is waiting for when the Baozong will be killed. When the Baozong is actually killed in about a hundred chapters, I believe many book friends will feel as happy as me. Yu Qian's understanding is also unique (although I don't agree with it). It is reasonable to think that Yu Qian was only loyal to the Ming Dynasty, not to any emperor, so he did not play a role in the coup. However, I think Yu Qian stayed away from the army to avoid suspicion, so he was essentially incapable of intervening. In addition, what I like very much about this book is that the family lines are well written. As a good eldest son, the protagonist often quarrels with the emperor's father, but the father does not care and instead fully supports him. Although the protagonist's words are rude, he was really sad when his father was in poor health and took care of him personally. Although it is a bit too ideal, this kind of family atmosphere is very good. This also made me a little sad when Zhu Qiyu was seriously ill. Personal complaints: From more than 200 chapters to more than 600 chapters, almost all of them are developing military power and attacking various surrounding countries, such as Vietnam, Japan, etc. It's fun to read at first, but with hundreds of chapters full of this content, it's hard to avoid feeling fatigued.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, it was rare for the eldest son to inherit the throne. Zhu Houzhao happens to be one of them, and he is the most indisputable, because his father only has one son. And his nonsense also led to his early death and the extermination of his heirs. If he had descendants, the history of the Ming Dynasty might be very different. And although he is messing around, the majority of book friends are surprisingly tolerant of him and hope he can have a good ending. If a modern person became Zhu Houzhao, how could he use his unique conditions to change himself and the outcome of the Ming Dynasty? Let us find out through this book. Suitable for the crowd: This book is suitable for book lovers who like the history of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao, and are also interested in political reforms. Rating of the work: 7 (The writing is good and the story is smooth. The political reforms are very attractive, and the division of land in more than 400 chapters made me jaw-dropping.) Content summary: This book tells the story of a modern man who traveled through time and became Zhu Houzhao. He used his modern knowledge and unique status advantages to carry out various political reforms such as dividing land, making the Ming Dynasty stronger. Personal review: The plot setting is very reasonable, because Zhu Houzhao's father only has one child. The legitimacy of his throne is beyond doubt and there are no constraints. This is why he has the ability to carry out political reforms. Some book friends complained that the protagonist's father, Emperor Hongzhi, was depraved, but I don't think so, because it was just a sign that he loved his children wholeheartedly, so he looked a bit stupid when facing the protagonist. It is precisely this that led to Zhu Houzhao's unbridled behavior in history. What I appreciate most about this book is the political reforms such as dividing the land. This is difficult to see in other historical texts about the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, most of which only involve military reforms. But the shortcoming of the Ming Dynasty was that farmers had no land, while officials and gentry had land but did not have to pay taxes. If we do not touch on the political aspect, we will always scratch the surface and cannot solve the actual problem.

This book is the best historical text of the Ming Dynasty in my opinion. It is also the first historical text I have read. I remember that when I first read this book, it was a physical book bought in a bookstore. Since it can be published, it also proves the quality of this book from the side. Even though it is an old book from more than ten years ago, it is by no means outdated today. It almost led the trend of Ming Dynasty historical literature in the following years. Before this book, Zhu Houzhao was not very well-known. Most authors prefer to write about the time period when emperors who left their names in history were in power. After reading this book, the author and readers discovered that it could still be played like this. In a period when an absurd emperor was in power, time travelers might have done better. If he is an emperor who will leave his name in history, he can only deal with him cautiously. Suitable for the crowd: This book is suitable for book lovers who like the history of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao, and more sophisticated historical texts. Rating of the work: 10 (The writing is very good. The historical materials are solid and sophisticated. The plot is smooth and reasonable. The relationship between the monarch and his subjects is well described. Of course, there is also my personal filter😄) Content summary: This book tells the story of a modern person who traveled through time and became a commoner in the Ming Dynasty. By chance, he became a royal guard and formed a deep friendship with the then crown prince Zhu Houzhao. Author: Yue Guan Da D is the best historical writer in my mind. He has millions of words of historical texts, all of which are excellent. There is never any mess or eunuch. The writing is very good and the historical knowledge is solid. Reading his historical articles can not only relax you, but also learn knowledge. It can be said that it is beneficial to open the book. Personal review: First of all, the plot is set up very well. It is difficult for a commoner to obtain a high position without passing the imperial examination. But Jin Yiwei was different, especially since Zhu Houzhao was still an absurd emperor, so he could be promoted more reasonably and quickly. In addition, it is difficult for powerful officials to die well. And there may always be rifts between the monarch and his ministers. Leaving Siberia can avoid this very well. It preserves the friendship between monarch and ministers, which is both realistic and satisfies readers' beautiful vision of friendship. The characters are also well developed. In the author's writing, each character also has his own personality, which is different from that in history. For example, Jiang Bin and others were obviously bad people in history, but under the training of the protagonist, they can be called good people in the end without violating the law. The stall head is more complex and three-dimensional. Although she has done all kinds of bad things, many of which I cannot accept, she loves the protagonist wholeheartedly and is not even afraid of death for the protagonist. Especially the scene where she is slapped by the protagonist is very tense. Personal complaints: I have so many wives that I can't even remember some of them😰

If you travel to the late Zhengde Dynasty, what should you do as a modern person who understands the direction of history? That's right, of course it's time to build a good relationship with Jiajing before he takes over, so that we can have a good relationship with him later. The protagonist of this book takes advantage of the convenience of being a Jinyiwei to deliberately get close to Jiajing, and even becomes his savior in order to build a good relationship. He directs and acts in some plots to save himself. However, hard work also paid off. During the Jiajing Dynasty, he gained a lot of power. Suitable for the crowd: This book is suitable for book lovers who like the history of the Ming Dynasty, don't hate Emperor Jiajing, are relatively patient (the plot progress is a bit slow), and like to hide behind the scenes. Work rating: 7 (Getting close to Jiajing is really a good design, and the self-directed and self-acted role as the savior is even more amazing. But the plot advances too slowly.) Content summary: This book tells the story of a modern man who time travels back to the body of a bullied boy from the Jinyiwei family. Through his efforts, he gets on well with Jiajing, who is not yet in power, and then gains power in the Jiajing Dynasty, and is finally able to change the Ming Dynasty. Personal review: The plot is well set up, and establishing a good relationship with Jiajing, who has not yet ascended to the throne, has paved the way for his subsequent rise to prominence. Even the test questions when he participated in the imperial examination were all asked by Jiajing. He answered the questions by himself (laughing😄), and with the support of the emperor, it was natural that he would eventually become the number one scholar. In addition, the protagonist is well portrayed. The image of a young man who has become mature and has silent calculations behind his back is vividly displayed on the page. In particular, it was clear that the matters against Yang Tinghe were planned by the protagonist, but because he, the sixth child, was deeply hidden, Yang Tinghe's eldest son also introduced him as a confidant. Can't help but make people laugh. Personal complaints: The plot progresses a bit slowly, and the boy is still seven or eight years old after hundreds of chapters, which is very worrying.

Although it is difficult for poor families to produce noble sons, China after the Sui and Tang Dynasties has always left a stable channel for children from poor families to rise to the upper class, and that is the imperial examination. The protagonist in this book comes from a poor family, but with his own efforts, he continues to work hard and finally becomes the number one scholar and a member of the upper class. The most attractive thing about this book is that the protagonist is making great progress in the county examination, prefecture examination, and township examination, and the attitude of the people around him towards the protagonist is also changing, which is very refreshing. Especially when I was preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination when I read this book, I was even more immersed in it. I hope that I can get good results in the exam like the protagonist. Suitable for the crowd: This book is suitable for book lovers who like the history of the Ming Dynasty, don't dislike the Jiajing Emperor, are very patient (the plot advances too slowly), and like historical texts with solid and sophisticated historical materials. Rating of the work: 8 (The plot of passing the exam in the early stage is really good, especially the changes in the faces of the people around me, which makes it even more exciting. But after winning the first prize, the plot became very dragging, and it took hundreds of chapters before I could barely become a fifth-rank official). Content summary: This book tells the story of a student from the Department of Modern History who traveled through time and became a child from a poor family. Through his own efforts, he became the number one scholar and his official career gradually rose (forgive me, I still can't tell what the protagonist will be like in the future). Personal review: The extended family in the countryside was well written in the early stage. The environment is described with great detail. Each character has a distinct personality. The uncle who loves to eat and is lazy, the grandmother who is biased, the mother who is hard-working and willing to work, etc. It portrays a traditional big rural family very vividly. Maybe even some rural families still do this. In addition, the great success of the imperial examination is the biggest highlight of this book. The protagonist's name actually played a huge role in the palace examination. As we all know, Emperor Jiajing was very superstitious, and the protagonist was named Zhu Ping'an. Jiajing believed that this meant protecting the safety of the Zhu family, so he was selected as the number one scholar. The author must have made this plan when he named it hundreds of chapters ago. The design is really good. Talking about the heroine, many book friends think she is too pampered and a poisonous character. But I don't think so. She was just thirteen or fourteen years old at the time, and today she is just a junior high school student. She was raised by her father who pampered her, so it is normal to be a little pampered. After she got married to the protagonist, firstly, she got older, and secondly, she became a wife and mother, so her personality has changed. Personal complaints: The author is too procrastinating. He has not finished writing it for seven years. There are too few updates, and they are still a bit watered down. The protagonist is only a fifth-grade official now, and in any other book he would be inferior to one person.

Although it is stated that the dynasty fell at the hands of Chongzhen, it actually fell at the hands of Wanli. Obviously Zhang Juzheng's reforms were quite effective and could extend the life of the Ming Dynasty for decades. Unexpectedly, he was completely defeated. Most book lovers also dislike him very much. If a modern person traveled through time and became him, the direction of the Ming Dynasty would probably be completely different. This book tells such a story. Suitable for the crowd: This book is suitable for book lovers who like the history of the Ming Dynasty, sympathize with and feel sorry for Zhang Juzheng, dislike Wanli, hope to change the direction of the late Ming Dynasty, and like Machiavellian writings. Rating of the work: 9 (The writing is relatively detailed and detailed. It was originally centered on the three parties of the queen mother, eunuchs, and powerful ministers. Currently, it mainly focuses on the power struggle in the palace. I don't know what kind of development will happen in the future). Content summary: This book tells the story of a modern man who traveled through time and became the Wanli Emperor in the early days. When faced with the three major entrusting forces, he pretended not to do his job to confuse others, and then gradually gained power. Personal review: First of all, what the protagonist does is very good and deserves praise. Because it was impossible for him to gain power in the early stage, he could just pretend not to be doing his job properly, and the protagonist could still deal with the three major independent forces very well. Although it has the advantage of being an emperor, it must be said that the protagonist's skills are also good. In addition, the group portraits are also well done. For example, Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao are also more three-dimensional. Even the Queen Mother, who has no sense of presence in history, is described in detail. Moreover, this book should give Zhang Juzheng a good ending, which can also satisfy the beautiful vision of the majority of book lovers. Personal complaints: Although I also know that the plot has not developed yet, I still don't want to be limited to the palace struggle and the upper class like it is now. In order to change the direction of the late Ming Dynasty, it seems that we should also look downward and pay attention to the bottom layer.

Chongzhen was a pathetic emperor. He was so diligent, but it might be hard to get back, or it might be improper methods. No matter how hard he tried, he could not change the fact that the Ming Dynasty died at his hands. If a modern person faced the same situation as Chongzhen, could he turn the tide? This book tells such a story. Suitable for the crowd: This book is more suitable for book lovers who like the history of the Ming Dynasty, sympathize with Chongzhen, hope that the Ming Dynasty will not perish, and also like more rigorous and informative historical materials. Work rating: 7 (The plot is reasonable and smooth. The description of brotherhood is good. The historical materials are rigorous and informative. But too much data will make readers tired) Content summary: This book tells the story of a modern person who time travels to Chongzhen who has not yet ascended to power. Later, due to the death of his brother, he inherited the unification. In a precarious situation, he turned the tide and finally made the Ming Dynasty greater. Personal review: First of all, the family line in this book is very good. The family relationship between the two brothers is very enviable. I don't know if it is related to Xiuchundao, but the conspiracy theory that Chongzhen ascended to power is widely circulated. I thought it was very unrealistic. At that time, Chongzhen was just a powerless prince and had no ability to cause trouble. On the contrary, it is normal to be like this book, where brothers and sisters respect each other, and such tenderness is normal. Secondly, the author's historical materials are detailed and sophisticated, and he uses a lot of data to support his views, just like writing a paper, which is enough to see the author's intentions. Finally, the majority of book friends, including me, sympathize with Chongzhen and also like the Ming Dynasty. A good ending between him and the Ming Dynasty also satisfies the wishes of book friends. Personal complaints: Although I said above that the detailed and well-researched information and data prove the author's intentions. But the author had better pay attention. It's a bit too much now and affects the reading experience.

I guess everyone thinks that the life of the royal family should be pretty good. This is not the case. The life of the lower-level clans in the Ming Dynasty was very miserable. They often could not get money and food from the court. As royal relatives, they were not allowed to engage in any work. Some could not even get their names. Normally, the hard life of the lower-level clans cannot be changed. But if the time traveler becomes a low-level clan, and it happens to be the period when the Ming Dynasty is about to die, will it make a difference? Let us take a look through this book. Suitable for the crowd: This book is more suitable for book lovers who like the history of the Ming Dynasty, do not want the Ming Dynasty to perish, care about the people at the bottom, and like to read military wars. Rating of the work: 6 (The protagonist is a low-level clan, which is a good perspective. And compared to others, most book lovers may hope that the Ming Dynasty clan can recreate the Ming Dynasty. However, so far, this book has mostly dealt with military affairs and few other aspects. Moreover, the protagonist appears too late and his status is too low, so it should be difficult to do anything). Content summary: This book tells the story of a modern man who travels back in time to a lower-level clan in the late Ming Dynasty. Through personal efforts, he gradually rises from a small official to a prince, and finally dominates the world. Personal review: First of all, focusing on the lower-level clan, which was previously unknown, expands the readers' horizons. In addition, the plot setting is reasonable. For example, at the beginning, he asked Sun Chuanting for money and food. In the late Ming Dynasty, the protagonist could only get money and food from a limited number of people, including Sun Chuanting. Moreover, defeating Li Zicheng did not rely on the protagonist's military talent, but on building better artillery. Personal complaints: The protagonist appears too late and his status is too low to achieve anything. Even if the protagonist is very good at fighting, there are people like Fu Wang and Tang Wang in Nanming. As a low-level clan, the protagonist will inevitably be constrained.
