Saving the Ming Dynasty with a System

[Bonus Chapter and Explanation for April] This book topped the charts in last month's event. Because the plot was in its later stages, I was focused on wrapping things up and therefore didn't add any extra chapters. Now that the transitional plot is unfolding, starting April 7th, I will continue with the original three chapters per day, but add one extra chapter for a week, as a way of thanking the readers who supported the book last month. By the way, it's Monday today, and the recommendation votes have been refreshed. Could you please vote for me and support this unknown author who has no followers? Finally, I want to talk about why I have fewer bonus chapters. Actually, historical books are really difficult to write. Unlike other genres, you can't let your imagination run wild and write whatever comes to mind. I personally believe that people who read historical books at least have some understanding of and interest in that period of history. Therefore, although this book is a fictional story, it still unfolds according to the historical timeline. The reason I chose the fictional genre is because the ending will definitely be different from historical facts. I have basically explained the differences in the text. Compared to other authors, I probably have to spend a certain amount of time every day not only writing and reading other people's books, but also searching for information in order not to distort historical facts. Because of this, sometimes a 3,000-word chapter that others can finish in an hour or so may take me 4 to 5 hours to write. There's no need to nitpick about the world of online novels, but since I chose historical themes, I believe that besides making the reading experience easy and enjoyable, it also allows readers to learn about history. That's my original intention in writing historical novels. Even if I don't have many supporters, I will persevere. At least it's a valuable asset for me and something for future generations to talk about. If you read the book carefully, you will find that many of the details are indeed historical events. Whether it is the three major cases at the end of the Ming Dynasty or the cheating in the Zhejiang provincial examination, these are all objective historical facts. The characters are also restored as much as possible to the historical figures. Of course, this is a novel after all, so there are naturally some fictional embellishments.

I, Xiao Zui Kuang, am willing to protect this book, even at the cost of my life!

The "Military and Civil Officials Recruitment Pavilion" is a collection of historical figures and officials. Since this book uses a summoning system, readers are welcome to write down their favorite historical figures and officials, and even create endings for them. The author will consider these suggestions based on the needs of the plot. One more point to add: the main plot of this book is not palace intrigue; palace intrigue is merely a part of the growth experience. The main focus is on the struggle for supremacy. After the first volume ends, the content on the struggle for supremacy will gradually unfold in the second volume and beyond. Therefore, there will be a great need for civil and military officials in the future. All readers are encouraged to actively participate in the discussion and sign up. Readers who speak first will be given priority based on the needs. The author will also reply to readers on the post after the suggestion is adopted.

The idea is good, but I feel the pacing at the beginning could be a bit faster. To be honest, I also like the indomitable spirit of the Ming Dynasty.

Fellow Daoist, I hope you will visit my page and bookmark this page so we can progress together. I wish you ever-improving writing skills.

I've been busy formatting the previous chapters lately. Because there are a lot of long paragraphs, I'm re-formatting them, so updates haven't been as frequent as before. To make it more comfortable for readers, I've been working on this recently, and I'm also very grateful to all the readers who have been following the story until today. Thank you for your understanding. The layout is expected to be completed around the 20th, and after that, there will be updates of more than 10,000 words over three consecutive days. Finally, I would like to thank all the readers who have been silently supporting Da Ming and my book friends. Words cannot express my gratitude. I can only try my best to come up with better plots and update more often to repay all my dear readers who have always been there for me.

[Bonus Chapter Notice for Labor Day] Due to the impact of COVID-19, many book lovers will definitely stay at home during this year's May Day Golden Week. Although this book doesn't have many readers, I still hope that everyone can go out less and read more books. To bring you more enjoyment, this book will have extra chapters from May 1st to May 6th, in addition to the regular three updates per day. Although the word count won't be much higher, the author's ability is limited, and this is the best they can do. I would like to thank all my readers for your continued support. Thank you for supporting the author and for supporting Da Ming. I promise that the quality of the extra chapters will remain high, and there will be no fabricated or illogical content. I ask all readers to supervise me so that we can grow together. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to all my fellow readers for accompanying me on this journey.

I've already caught up to the latest chapter and am looking forward to the content after the system upgrade. I didn't expect the little fairy to wake up ahead of schedule; that was quite a surprise.

The recent hit drama "Ming Dynasty" has sparked my interest in Ming Dynasty fan fiction ever since "Back to Ming." The author is courageous and insightful, daring to focus on a controversial emperor in the final years of the Ming Dynasty to present readers with a different perspective on the empire! The book is still short, but the author's steady writing style and profound understanding of Ming history are evident. Whether expressing anticipation for the work or best wishes for the author, I leave this poem to convey my feelings! The heavens and earth are covered in snow, and the path leads to the heroic souls of the seven directions. The six directions are settled, and Chu Tian is alone! Embracing a stone, he laments Heaven's jealousy; the Nine Songs are sung amidst desolation. A lament for my homeland, a song of sorrow, turns to ashes like a flickering candle. Have you not seen the mighty Miluo River, its waters now silent and still, its majestic form obscured? The feudal lords are scattered like stars, vying for supremacy among the three. Longzhong was definitely the definitive territorial control! At dusk, I recite the Liangfu poem, strategizing to subdue the world. He led his troops north to restore the Han dynasty, but a five-foot-tall star fell into a valley. Ultimately, it's hard to look back; at Wolonggang, green hills and clear waters accompany my thatched cottage! The journey across the land was arduous, and the iron cavalry of the eight directions were stationed. With unwavering loyalty, they bravely embark on their journey! With sword raised, the nation is restored; barbarians are driven away at a mere foot away. Red leaves drift across the river to the old capital, a scene of timeless turmoil. Alas, the Jingkang Incident remains unredeemed, leaving behind a long lament in the Yellow Dragon Palace!
