Word count: 1.99 Million Era: Western Han Dynasty Type: Soul-traveling semi-fictional historical novel Content: Mainly military, supplemented by politics. Historical Background: 4/5 Historical deduction: 3.5/5 Characterization: 3.5/5 Storytelling: 4/5 Comments: Although this book has fewer words than other historical novels, it still tells a complete story and describes the protagonist's magnificent life very well. From the first time he went to the Western Regions with Fu Jiezi to the protagonist's role as the protector of the Western Regions to the protagonist's becoming a general and finally flying away, the protagonist's experience is still very rich. I have analyzed this novel before. It is mainly about military affairs. The protagonist made a fortune in the Western Regions and participated in many wars, large and small. The main opponent was the Xiongnu. With the protagonist's victory again and again, the Xiongnu gradually perished, ending the grudges between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu. Later, the protagonist flew away, giving the protagonist and emperor a decent solution. The protagonist continued to conquer the Western Regions and India, and even went to Egypt to have an affair with Queen Elizabeth. The war scenes written by the author are very good and feel immersive. Moreover, the protagonist is a strategic military commander. He reverses the outcome of the war through one ingenious plan after another, and wins by coincidence. The protagonist is worthy of being the "Desert Fox".

Word count: 2.21 Million Era: Ming Dynasty Type: Soul-traveling semi-fictional historical novel Content: Mainly military and political, supplemented by science and technology and culture. Historical Background: 4/5 Historical deduction: 4/5 Characterization: 3.5/5 Storytelling: 4/5 Comments: The content of the book is that the protagonist first goes to the Western Regions to fight, and then goes to Zhejiang to open the sea, fight in the north, pacify the rebellion of King Ning, and implement various reforms. However, in the part of opening the sea, the plot turns on the accelerator. In a sense, this is indeed the case. Once the sea is opened, the country takes a different path, and it will accelerate and it is impossible to stop. The opening of the sea started from the East China Sea to Southeast Asia, and then to India, North America, and South America. Soon the people of the Ming Dynasty spread all over the coasts of the Pacific and Indian Oceans, bringing Portugal back home. Simultaneously with the opening of the sea, the protagonist's reform of social ideas and national systems was carried out. The protagonist's school of physics continued to develop science. The emergence of the steam engine caused drastic changes in society. The bourgeoisie began to emerge. The protagonist later wrote a book on economics. These internal and external changes enabled the Ming Dynasty to get rid of all kinds of chaos, continue to develop its national power, and continue to expand in all directions. The north defeated Mongolia, and the south regained Jiaozhi, making it the well-deserved first empire in the world. In the end, the protagonist went to India to become the emperor, and several of the protagonist's sons also established their own countries around the world. Later, the author made some deductions about the future, which I found quite interesting.

Word count: 2.73 Million + public account extra Era: New Dynasty Type: Soul-traveling semi-fictional historical novel Content: Mainly military, supplemented by politics. Historical Background: 4/5 Historical deduction: 4/5 Characterization: 4/5 Storytelling: 4/5 Comments: The protagonist's way of becoming famous is exactly the same as Wang Mang's, which is to raise his hopes, which is the so-called Zhongnan shortcut in ancient times. These fame made the protagonist become Xiaolian and go to Beijing, but he only stayed in the capital for two months before resigning and returning home. After all, fame is quite fictitious, just like practicing in fantasy novels. Although one can practice quickly by relying on crooked ways, the foundation is unstable, just like a flower in a mirror or the moon in the water. So the protagonist went home to farm, build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become king. The protagonist develops his own power, in addition to some of his own efforts, by constantly poaching Liu Xiu's corners. The main content of this book is the struggle for hegemony, so war is the main content of the book. However, the protagonist is average in describing the specific wars. However, the author is good at writing about war strategies, which I like even more. Those political struggles also have a unique flavor. But the ending is a bit hasty. It ended hastily after Liu Xiu's main combat power was eliminated, and a large piece of land was not taken. Of course, the author wrote twenty or thirty extra chapters to deal with Liu Xiu's subsequent ending and the protagonist's fight to the south. In addition to these, it is not bad. Although the ending is a bit hasty, the whole book still gives people a good impression. The most impressive thing is the republic between Wang Mang and Chimei. An idealistic visionary and a group of disoriented rebels have created a farce. The dream of republic is broken, the ideal is full, and the reality is cruel.

Word count: 3.42 Million Era: Northern Song Dynasty Type: Semi-fictional historical novel Content: Politics is the main focus, military is the supplement. Historical context: 4.5/5 Historical deduction: 4/5 Characterization: 4/5 Storytelling: 4/5 Comments: The early and middle stages of this novel are definitely at the ceiling level of historical novels. It doesn't need any introduction, just read it and it's over, but the final ending left me unsatisfied. Firstly, the novel ends with the war against the Liao Kingdom, but the war was not very nice to watch. I know the author wanted to describe the war from the perspective of a supporting character, but the protagonist was offline throughout the whole process and felt no sense of participation. I know the author wanted to describe it as realistically as possible, so he wrote about the small actions and thoughts of each supporting character, but it was really annoying to watch, with all kinds of unauthorized actions and hindrances, and a bunch of pig teammates. On the contrary, the author set up the Liao Army pretty well. , The protagonist always lost the battle and occasionally won the battle, but in the end he relied on national strength to push the Liao army back. Regardless of how much he lost, it was just a propaganda victory. Indeed, this represented a reversal of the military power of the two countries. Another point is that the final ending of the protagonist is really not good. Although the powerful ministers did not end well in the end and had difficulty in handling the relationship with the emperor, it is outrageous to deal with the protagonist like this. In the later period, the protagonist is indecisive, hesitant, and becomes more and more stupid. It is really speechless.

Word count: 4.47 Million Era: Early Tang Dynasty Type: Semi-fictional historical novel Content: Mainly life, supplemented by economy, culture and science and technology. Historical context: 3.5/5 Historical deduction: 3/5 Characterization: 4/5 Storytelling: 4/5 Comments: Overall, the novel is more light-hearted, but the protagonist has experienced setbacks, such as the time when he was abducted and taken to Lingnan. The protagonist is in a place in the northwest, carrying mobile phones, corn seeds, potatoes and other modern items. At the beginning, he meets the army, gets acquainted with Cheng Chumo, and then gets the appreciation of Cheng Yaojin and then Li Shimin. He makes up a master to fool everyone, and then joins the ranks of officials of the Tang Dynasty. To be honest, in Jie Yu 2's novels, the protagonist usually starts off very quickly and easily in the early stage. This is also one of his characteristics. For example, the protagonist of "Tomorrow's Next" becomes very powerful not long after. Later, the protagonist establishes an academy, develops technology, and fights in various places. They are all similar to historical time travel novels. I won't go into details here, but it is worth mentioning that the development is generally very smooth. Another characteristic of Jie Yu 2 novels is that the people in them are all very pretentious, including the protagonist, especially when the protagonist meets some of the more famous figures in history, he speaks in a pretentious manner, which lacks a sense of reality. It is interesting at first glance, and what the characters say makes sense, but it becomes boring after reading too much. However, for those who have not read the novel "Jie Yu 2", it is still worth reading.

Word count: 5.24 Million Era: Western Han Dynasty Type: Soul-traveling semi-fictional historical novel Content: Politics as the main focus, military as the supplement Historical Background: 4/5 Historical deduction: 3.5/5 Characterization: 3/5 Storytelling: 4/5 Comments: Politically, after all, the protagonist's soul passed through the prince, and he soon became emperor, carried out all-round reforms of the Han Dynasty, and established a new system. In terms of military affairs, the protagonist commanded expansion in all directions and destroyed the Xiongnu. The author also wrote a lot about the specific content of the war. The economy, culture, and technology are mainly carried out by the protagonist commanding various talents below. They are all described, but they are not the main thing. In terms of historical background, the author includes a lot of private information and introduces many of the author's understanding and historical facts, which is quite objective and rigorous. The historical deduction is barely reasonable, and the various developments are actually a bit simple. The real history will not be so simple. The characterization is average. Anyway, the ministers below are all the emperor's tools, so they can just complete their tasks. The story is good, has a beginning and an end, and overall it was a pleasure to read.

Word count: 2.27 Million Era: late Ming Dynasty Type: Double-travel and semi-fictional historical novel Content: Mainly military, supplemented by politics Historical context: 4.5/5 Historical deduction: 4/5 Characterization: 4.5/5 Storytelling: 4/5 Comments: The military is the most outstanding aspect of this novel. Whether it is the establishment and training of the army, the strategies and tactics of war, or the specific descriptions of battles, they are very detailed and reasonable. The political aspect is mainly reflected in the construction of the protagonist's base camp. The system changes here are traceable, and problems of one kind or another arise during the construction and will eventually be perfected. In terms of technology, it is not too high on the technology tree and is written more rigorously. The description of life is also more detailed. In terms of historical background, the author describes various chaos in the late Ming Dynasty and analyzes the reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty, which is quite rigorous. The development of the protagonist's power and external expansion are described in more detail, and the historical deduction is more reasonable. The characterization, especially the portrayal of the little characters, is impressive. It depicts the helplessness of the little characters under the changing times, especially the life of this little character Zhang Zhongqi, which is embarrassing. The story of this book is very strong and the main line is clear, which is to defeat the Manchu Qing and overthrow the Ming Dynasty to create a new era.
