It's over, 3.98 million words, 383 days, the first long book in life.

Because it is the first time to write a long story, many of the writing methods are relatively immature, so I have stepped on a lot of pitfalls.

Of course, the most criticized is the "water data" that has been talked about in the comment area.

I can't say that the data is bad, but the data I wrote is indeed a bit too much, and I wrote so much unconsciously, although it is not as exaggerated as the "one-fifth" that some people say, but it is enough to see how it looks.

Let's learn the lesson, if there is a next one, I will change the frequency of the data.

Secondly, the main thing is to control the plot.

At present, the worst scolded should be the "Battle of Recovering Liao", "Destroying Jin" and the afterword 18 and 19.

The Battle of Fuliao was indeed written a little anticlimactic, mainly because I personally cared more about what I said in the comment area at the time, and changed the original plot.

The original plot should have been an all-star lineup and a decisive battle between Nurhachi in Liaoshen, and then Nurhachi continued to play the high mobility of Houjin as in history, and the Ming army fought to the death in a hard village, and finally Nurhachi died, and Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai and Daishan split.

It's a pity that it was not firm in the end, which led to a change in the plot.

As for the battle to destroy the Jin, some said that it was open to the Houjin, and some said that it weakened the Ming army, in short, there are different opinions, and I have nothing to explain.

The last postscript eighteen and nineteen, in fact, when I decided to write an afterword, I knew that I would be scolded.

Because this plot is condensed, many readers feel that people like Zhu Jianhuan cannot be supported by so many people.

The historical prototype of the postscript 18 and 19 is a political event, but I changed it to a politically induced military conflict.

Zhu Jianhuan, Zhang Bingzhong, Li Huanglai, and Luo Changgong each have prototypes, but it is impossible to say who the power of the prototypes is.

Because this chapter is a free chapter of the testimonial, so a brief combing can be regarded as an explanation for readers who have a bad impression.

——————

Zhu Jianhuan was born in the third year of Xianjia (1717), was canonized as the grandson in the first year of Shaoqing (1732), and was canonized as the crown prince in the twenty-seventh year of Shaoqing (1752), at the age of thirty-five in the same Chinese New Year's Eve.

In the system set by Zhu Youzhen and Zhu Youxiao, it is the norm for the prince to supervise the country, and Zhu Jianhuan's first time in charge of the country was six years of martial arts, and Zhu Jianhuan was forty-one years old this year.

The Wujia change caused by Zhu Jianhuan can be regarded as the collapse of the prince's supervision system under Zhu Youzhen and Zhu Youxiao, and it is also the drawback of the feudal dynasty's establishment of the prince.

The crown prince is not just a title, it represents the heir of the emperor, the next emperor, so as long as the emperors of the past dynasties set up the crown prince, most of the ministers will begin to fall to the crown prince, the future emperor.

This is also a problem under the feudal system, and the Ming prince's system of supervising the state gave the prince a great power.

After the crown prince supervises the country, he can promote officials and military generals, causing the civil and military generals to fall to himself.

This is why Zhu Jianhuan was supported by Zhang Bingzhong, Luo Fu, Li Huanglai, Luo Changgong and some middle-level officials, most of whom were promoted by Zhu Jianhuan.

Zhu Jianhuan's brutal behavior towards the people was nothing to Zhang Bingzhong's class.

As for the participation of ordinary soldiers in the civil war, it is also in line with the historical archetype, in which most people are brainwashed by slogans to fight against the "good" side.

The success of Zhu Jianhuan's rebellion lies in the surrender of the upper strata and the brainwashing of the upper and middle strata to the grassroots.

At a time when the grassroots could only get information from the state, Zhu Jianhuan, as a supervisor of the country, a crown prince, and a large number of bureaucrats, shouted that "King Wu has held Emperor Wujia hostage, and the soldiers and horses of all places are diligent kings, and the chaos is set right" is the only news that grassroots soldiers can get.

Some of the grassroots soldiers did not believe Zhu Jianhuan and surrendered, which is written in the book.

However, more grassroots soldiers chose to believe his remarks, and believed in their own garrisons, generals, and general soldiers, so they insisted on what they believed was "putting things right."

Just like the first paragraph of the postscript 19, both sides feel that they are "counterinsurgent", and both feel that they are right.

We know that Zhu Jianhuan is a rebel because we are people who read books, and it is written in the book who is a rebel.

But in the world of the book, ordinary soldiers can only see what they see, and choose to trust what they see.

When Shangguan said that "Emperor Wujia was taken hostage", most people already trusted their Shangguan, and they thought that they were righteous, unless someone exposed Shangguan's lies.

This is also the reason why after the Qi State dropped the leaflets, the rebels would directly collapse.

As for Emperor Wujia's distrust of the Qi State, the root cause lies in Emperor Shaoqing Zhu Bohai.

Shaoqing's new policy from the first year to the eighth year of Shaoqing involved a lot of Zhu Bohai's efforts, so that he did not send Emperor Wujia and Zhu Jianhuan to study in Qi State.

In the postscript, there are records of the previous princes and grandsons who went to Qi State, either studying abroad or sending envoys to inspect Qi State for a few months or half a year, and Emperor Wujia only went for a month before the "Nanhai Incident" broke out, and Zhu Jianhuan went to Qi State to read out the holy decree.

This detail has been discovered by some people and skipped by others, but it is one of the reasons why Emperor Wujia and Zhu Jianhuan have a general relationship with the Qi State.

If these two chapters were to be enlarged, it is estimated that a new book could be written, because the information on the historical prototype is hundreds of thousands of words.

The soldiers of the new education were fooled, and the students in the schools were fooled, and they all waved their knives at the side they considered "wrong".

History has taught us that people do not become discerning because they have been educated, but only feel that they have been educated, and therefore the information they receive must be correct.

Whether it is the "Martial Hunt Change" or the historical prototype, it all happened around this, and the masses are always easily disturbed by outside news and provoked and fooled by people with intentions.

Several of the main slots are here, and the final reason is that the personal writing style and pen power are not enough to support the huge reform worldview, and there are some other small slots about industry, I won't talk about it.

Next, let's talk about some of the reasons why readers want to see Qi Guo and why I didn't rewrite it.

How to write the Qi State, in fact, I don't know it myself after writing it, the Qi State has its own problems, but what are the new problems under the new system, it is difficult for me to justify myself.

Just like Zhu Guanlou said, "The State of Qi has the problem of the State of Qi, and the Ming Dynasty has the problem of the Ming Dynasty."

Finally, this book is written for myself and readers who want to see this subject, and at the end of the book, in addition to some of the pits that I stepped on halfway are regrets, more regrets are that I have not been able to describe people's livelihood in more detail.

What is the people's livelihood in the late Ming Dynasty, I know in my heart.

It's just that one thing after another in the late Ming Dynasty needs to be solved, and with the class identity of Prince Zhu Youzhen, it is very difficult to take everyone to understand the people's livelihood, so there is the role of Zhu Ciran, a little black fat man.

It's one thing to know, it's another thing to write it, I always feel that Zhu Ciran didn't really take everyone into the folk life of the late Ming Dynasty, because it was too monotonous and too heavy to write.

Heavily, these are the two words that this book should have felt to me and most readers.

Because it was too heavy, no matter how much it helped Daming to industrialization, that touch of gray still pressed on his heart.

Writing history may need to be heavy, but too heavy can make people look tired.

Due to work issues, I myself wasn't sure when I would be able to get my next book.

If there is a next book, I hope to balance the heavy and the witty, and at the same time write about the life of the ancient underclass that has not been written in this book.

In the end, I borrowed the words of the characters in the book to announce the end of the book.

"Anyway, the sun will rise tomorrow, and I wish you all the best if you can find a new book that meets your taste after this book, so as to make your mood better on a busy day......
