Testimonials and postscripts

A complete book of more than 2.7 million words is the first time in the world for the author.

The reason for this work is the book shortage, the reading and perception of the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and the dream of an author. This dream is undoubtedly a long one, since August 17, 2015, when the first word was typed on the ORD document, two years have passed, and even from the upload, it is as long as 22 months.

During this time, staying up late is essential, entertainment activities can be exempted, social activities can also be pushed, all free time is used to find information and write, fatigue is inevitable, so in the last month, thinking and hesitating more, the state of code words is seriously declining, and asking for leave has become inevitable.

Fortunately, it has taken two years to complete the book. The author fulfilled the promise made when it was first published, presented the story completely, and when I wrote down the three words at the end of the book, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The reason why the story "The Four Years of Yongli" is called this unpleasant name is that the fourth year of Yongli is a big year for Zhejiang, the area where the story takes place.

In this year, the Qing army in Zhejiang launched a comprehensive encirclement and suppression of the anti-Qing forces in eastern Zhejiang, the most important of which was the Ming Army of Siming Mountain, and the key to the key was the Ming Army of Dalan Mountain, where Chen Wen served at the beginning.

As stated in the introduction, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty exterminated the Ming army in Siming Mountain, they carried out a bloody mountain cleansing operation, in order to cut off this corner of Zhoushan from the Lu Jianguo court. Historically, in the second year, the Qing army carried out another mountain wash before attacking Zhoushan, ensuring that the back road was worry-free before attacking Zhoushan on a large scale. The outcome of the Battle of Zhoushan was unexpected and reasonable, as well as the collapse of Zhejiang's large-scale, organized anti-Qing movement.

In the story, Chen Wen defected to the Ming army of Dalanshan in order to go to Fujian. Later, it was decided to stay and change this tragedy, and for this reason, a small army modeled on the Qi family's army was formed. But the result of the efforts is not in the infighting, Siming Mountain did not escape the fate of washing the mountain, Chen Wen led the troops to rescue tens of thousands of people and the logistics organization of the Ming army in Dalan Mountain, and defeated the pursuing Qing army in a palace battle.

This is the story of the first volume, and the tone of the whole. Because the era of Nanming was full of infighting, various forces, and various factions of the same forces fought against each other in a fancy way, and finally cheapened my Qing Dynasty. A foreign race with less than 60,000 core males, it took 20 years to barely complete the initial conquest even though they occupied most of China's land at the beginning of the entry.

It was precisely because it was such an environment at that time that Chen Wen was full of exclusion, infighting, rebellion, defection, discrimination and distrust along the way. Chen Wen fights for the future every day, but there are always people who are dragging their feet. For example, the Cao Conglong Rebellion, which was criticized by many readers at the time, many people angrily scolded the author in various places at that time.

It doesn't matter if you understand or not. National heroes such as Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong in history, they lived in such an environment, the only difference is that Chen Wen is a traverser, relying on the brute force of the modern army to rewrite history, and they did not succeed, that's all.

Chen Wen's power to rewrite history comes from the reform of the system and the strength of the military, and the story is also based on Qi Jiguang's art of war to deduce the modern army as one of the main lines. Chen Wen went through the Mandarin Duck Formation, the Spear Formation, and the Hollow Phalanx, and finally under the stimulation of the Qing court's successive learning from the Spanish Phalanx and the Gustav Phalanx, he held back the tactics of the modern army's mass killing weapons and the tactics of wall charge, and finally completed the transformation of modernization.

The formation is the standard of modernization, but more important is the strengthening of the system. Chen Wen's idea of governing the army, strict military law, rich military merit rewards, plus the brainwashing of Yixia defense, tempered army, the young guard division at the end of the story is a complete body, a new army can be taken in fear of military law and mechanically carry out orders, and can also ignore sacrifice for the sake of faith, this is no longer a modern army, and it can even be said that the modern army will have the spirit and spirit.

All this comes from the system, the system of awarding military merits, the Chinese Revival Association, and the Di Bao, the Art Troupe and other cultural and propaganda institutions, but more importantly, the military law. The veteran murder case in the story is the embodiment of the strict military law pursued by the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang, Zhang Yida used his life to draw a line for others, and those who violated military law died, so as to deepen the fear of other people's military law, and even the fear of sacrifice can be ignored for this, so that the army can tolerate greater casualties and continue to move forward.

Revolution is not a dinner party, and war is always cruel. Chen Wen relied on the modern army to eliminate the Manchu Qing Dynasty, to this point, the Gustav phalanx in Europe was broken, there is nothing worth writing about militarily, in terms of the national economy and people's livelihood, the first thing is to restore the vitality, economy, construction, and the most important thing is to restore the population, so that the mothers of heroes can have more children, which is the primary task after the destruction of the Qing Dynasty.

Whether it can go down the water, according to common sense, but in fact, there is no need, because the clumsy work is a work that defeats the Manchu Qing Dynasty militarily, and there is no opponent in the military, and the Zhejiang Ming army is on the verge of annihilation under Chen Wen's efforts all the way back, and then the Qing Dynasty is destroyed, and the main theme has reached the end, and it is time to end.

Colonizing overseas, with all due respect to the author, has recovered its vitality, and there is a corresponding system in the article, so it is not difficult to go out, and there is no need to rush for a while. As for what democracy, in the 17th century, hehe. During the Republican period, he also wanted to catch up with Britain and the United States, and what the result was, those who read history know for themselves. To put it clearly, what era should it be, what stage of development it should be, just do something, the step is too big, it will be the egg. Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, all the same.

After talking about the story, let's talk about something else.

Writing, especially writing such a long one, is the first time for a big girl to get on a sedan chair for the author. What to do, what to do, is to cross the river by feeling the stones little by little.

In terms of character design, except for the protagonist Chen Wen, they are all written and done. In terms of plot, the outline is also constantly being revised. Coupled with the pressure of renewal, many places are more rushed and rough.

This is something that needs to be improved, the book started with the 80,000 words saved before uploading, and the first volume was used up before it was finished, and then it has been rushing to ensure that it is updated, and it is really impossible to save the manuscript, and there is no way to make more systematic revisions.

At this point, I will try to save as much as possible before uploading the next book to avoid this problem. As for the time of the next book, if nothing else, it will be in November of this year, that is, two months later, the author needs to take a break for a while, and he also needs to put down the ideas of this book and transfer to the ideas of the next book. The specific progress will be announced in the group, group number: 519264778, welcome to guide.

Record the results, the clumsy work has been uploaded since October 12, 2015, and put on the shelves on February 20, 2016, with 550,000 words on the shelves, 900 collections, 87 for the first order, and 921 for the end of the book, and make persistent efforts.

Yongli has been written for four years, and there have been many ups and downs along the way. Now that I can finish this book, I would like to thank the editors for their encouragement and the readers for their great support and support.

"National History"

In the thirteenth year of the Yongli calendar of the former Ming Dynasty, Beijing fell, and in June, Taizu, who had completed the recovery of Liaodong and the Han land south of the Great Wall, returned to Nanjing. Qian Qianyi, the first assistant minister of the cabinet, led the ministers to persuade him to advance with the special honor of destroying the Qing Dynasty, but Taizu did not allow it, and asked the former Emperor Yongli of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Yongli issued an edict saying: The king of Qi of the prison country adheres to the will of Ming Taizu to drive out the Tartars, and should be the lord of the world.

Chan let the holy decree be issued, and Emperor Yongli did not dare to enter Beijing, lest he follow the story of King Xiaoming, so he sent the prince into the court. In the winter of the same year, Qian Qianyi built a Zen platform, Taizu Yan had the immortal honor of destroying the Qing Dynasty, following the old example of Taizu, inheriting the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, sealing the Yongli Emperor as the king of Ming, the head of the kings of the dynasties, changing the name of the country to Xia, changing the Yuan to rejuvenation, taking the second year as the first year of revival, the capital of Nanjing, changing its name to the imperial capital, and the Xia Empire was established.

The Xia Empire was established, and Taizu announced the New Deal.

Abolish the three salaries of the former Ming Dynasty, light and light labor, and restore people's livelihood. Reform the tax system, establish a tax structure with land endowment, customs duties, salt tea, commercial tax, and official business as the main body, and the national treasury will be abundant while the people are resting......

Implement the policy of encouraging childbirth, commend the mothers of meritorious soldiers, and give heroic mothers plaques. Families with three or more children are exempted from the tax tax. The people who hid and avoided taxes came out, and the trend of multi-life among the people prevailed, and the population losses caused by the harsh government of the former Ming Dynasty, the rampant bandits, and the massacres of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were quickly recovered. In the thirtieth year of the revival, Taizu died of illness and Emperor Wen ascended the throne, and the population of the population had exceeded 20,000......

Schools are built, the state subsidizes room and board, and the Boy Scout Academy is still exempt from room and board fees, and scholarships are set up. On the pretext of seizing the family assets of the captives and forcibly leasing Iwami Silver Mountain on the pretext that Japan was smuggling weapons to the Manchus, and collecting huge profits to promote education......

Establish a cabinet and ministries to take charge of the administration; The central, provincial, government, and county levels are in charge of justice; Amend the Civil Code to establish a Senate composed of noble and senior civil officials to legislate; The Ministry of Recruitment, the Garrison and Combat Units, the Quartermaster Department and the Military Industry Department are in charge of the three powers of recruitment, training, and support......

Reform the imperial examination system, set a 100-point system, and cut off the content of the eight shares year by year. Promote the subjects of Ming arithmetic, physics, chemistry, and Ming Law, and adjust the knowledge structure of scholars and doctors......

The new policy was enforced, and many scholars were dissatisfied. However, Xia Taizu acted decisively and had a resolute personality. Governing the country according to the law, even if it is dissatisfied, is not enough to change. His words and the strict prohibition of foot binding are for the Xia Empire's shaving and easy to obey, which is nothing more than a quick tongue.

Different from previous dynasties, the Xia Empire was established at the end of the Tartar invasion of the world, the people's livelihood withered, although the law of restoring the people's livelihood, but it was strictly forbidden to open up the wasteland, and the law of granting land for military merit was strictly enforced.

The slow recovery of the proportion of yeoman farmers among households, the spread of military landlords throughout the country, the prevalence of plantations and planting cooperatives, and the processing of cash crops produced in the coastal provinces and their export to overseas also caused a qualitative change in the tax structure of the Xia Empire compared with the previous Ming Dynasty.

However, the acquisition of land can only be obtained through military merits. The military-meritorious aristocracy, the military-meritorious landlord class, and the common people who were eager to obtain the land of Yongye constituted the main force of expansion.

So far, the Xia Empire has not been average, but has been engaged in wars of greater or lesser proportions every year. Even in the 20-year national policy of recuperation and recuperation starting from the first year of rejuvenation, the punishment of the Mongol tribes in southern Monan, the pursuit and suppression of the remnants of the Manchu Qing dynasty in Liaodong, the elimination of anti-Xia forces in Korea, and the transformation of the Tusi in the southwestern provinces have never stopped.

By the thirtieth year of the revival, most of the former Ming Dynasty's Nuer Gandu Division, the Hetao area, the Shaanxi Xingdu Division and the entire territory of Korea had been included in the territory; Hubei, Hunan, Guangxi, Guizhou provinces of Tusi or surrender or flee, change the land and return to the stream only Yunnan Province. Although the fire of the rebellion was not extinguished, the garrison carried out strict suppression, and after a few years, the plantation composed of military achievements and soil was established, and the Han people migrated more and more, and the local people were reluctant to disappear, and they took it as a pleasure to become a Han citizen, and since then they have always been the land of China.

However, Emperor Wen ascended the throne, in order to centralize the monarch's power, and supported Confucian scholars and doctors to check and balance the military landlords. On the sixteenth day of the first month of the third year of Emperor Wen's rejuvenation, a coup d'état broke out. The next day, Emperor Wen abdicated, and his sister, the eldest princess of Qin, ascended the throne as Emperor Wu.

At the beginning of the Xia Empire, Siyi came to the dynasty, and Taizuna, Siam, Ryukyu and other countries entered the tributary system, refused to restore the country for Korea, and annexed its land to place the Andong Protectorate.

In the first year of revival, Bai Mang of the Dongwu Dynasty of Burma killed his brother and stood on his own, Taizu refused to recognize Bai Mang as the king of Burma, and the feudal Ming king was in Burma, supplemented by the king of Jin, to support a large number of military supplies.

In April of the following year, the king of Jin broke Ava in northern Burma, and the king of Ming, Zhu Youlang, built the Ming Kingdom, changed Ava to Chengtianfu, and entered the tributary system of the Xia Empire.

However, when he went south, many of the soldiers and horses in the Jin king's headquarters fled, and although many of the Confucian scholars and southwest Tusi who were suppressed in the Xia Empire went south one after another, most of them did not have the ability to govern the country and the ability to command the army, and there was a lot of internal friction. In addition, the proportion of Han population was too low, and the resistance of Burma was too strong, so that the Jin king won successive battles and defeated the Dongwu Dynasty, but he never completely occupied Burma, and had to confront the new Baigu Dynasty rebuilt by the Mon people in central Burma.

In the fifteenth year of revival, the king of Yanping County died of illness, and his son Zheng Jing was invited to be a vassal, but Taizu did not allow it, and sent Wu Dengke to recruit the general, and Chen Qice to recruit the deputy general to kill him. Zheng Jing's army was defeated in Penghu, please surrender, and Taiwan was included in the territory.

Emperor Wu was in the country for four years, the king of Jin died of illness, and the son inherited the throne of the king of Jin. However, the king of the young Jin Dynasty could not be compared with his father's talent, and after years of hard fighting, Ava was captured by the Baigu Dynasty, and the king of the Jin Dynasty, Li Sixing, died in battle, and the prince of the Ming Dynasty guarded the Ming King Zhu Youlang and fled to Yunnan, requesting to be attached. The Baigu Dynasty slaughtered the Awahan people.

In the fifth year of Emperor Wu's reign, King Ming invited him as a state guest, and the Xia army gathered 60,000, supplemented by a naturalized army composed of Japanese, Ryukyu and Taiwanese natives to invade Burma by sea, break Yangon, and take Burma in October of the following year. Set up a guard to protect the Burmese school and put it under the Nanyang Protectorate, and the country of Myanmar no longer exists.

During the invasion of Burma, the Xia army and the naturalized army were ordered by Emperor Wu to slaughter the Mon people in Myanmar and the rebellious Burmese people. Since then, Emperor Wu has enjoyed a long period of time, and there have been many massacres in the surrounding countries, and the four major protectorates of Nanyang, Anxi, Anbei and Zhenbei have been established, and the name of the Empress of Blood has shocked the world.

In the sixty years of Emperor Wu's reign, Emperor Wu died of illness, and he was the grandson of Emperor Wen, who was Emperor Xuan. Emperor Xuan routinely carried out the strategy of military empire and vigorously expanded abroad.

Since then, it has also been the eternal precedent of the Xia Empire......
