This review is indeed a bit late. The main problem lies with me. I underestimated the difficulty of the new book.
Let’s talk about this book first. There is no doubt that it is the best-performing book in my history.
The continuous attacks in the past have already made me very embarrassed. When I opened this book, I had to rush forward. Before I started, I had some ideas, and then I referred to the Ming Dynasty records and other historical books to plan the main line.
Publish, write.
I don’t know if you guys can feel it, but after writing for a while, I suddenly realized that I need some breakthroughs, a higher perspective, and a larger pattern to write.
Then came Taishi Zhang’s division of history and the tone of this book. From then on, writing became very smooth.
Some people suggest that if it is small, you can write as many as possible.
But with the unification of the world, there is not much to write about.
Once the main task is completed, delaying it any longer is a waste of time.
So I chose to finish the book.
It's actually a bit of a pity that it doesn't have more than three million words.
But I don’t want to procrastinate and want to focus on my new book.
How should I put it... This new book was actually conceived together with First Minister. I chose to write First Minister, but the idea kept coming, and I kept looking for information and collecting content.
At first, I thought it would be easy to write the new book. I would update the extra chapters and write the new book at the same time. It would not be difficult.
But when I actually started writing, I discovered a problem. I had prepared a lot, but I encountered difficulties in how to start telling this story. What I wrote was almost meaningless.
Fortunately, the editor was very helpful and I revised it five or six times before finally passing it.
The year selected for the new book is 1645, the second year after Chongzhen hanged himself. Choosing this year will definitely not simply save the Ming Dynasty.
This is a story with a large pattern, with continuations and breakthroughs.
In the first minister, if there are still imperfections, we will try our best to improve them.
In short, I still try my best to write, and the writing is beautiful and exciting.
Furthermore, I just hope that you guys can read the new book and continue to provide small support... I beg you guys.
By the way, the new book is called "After the Ming Dynasty", which has nothing to do with this one. It is simply about how after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the mountains and rivers were broken, and the country was upside down... how to struggle to survive, find a way in the darkness, and finally get out of the gloom, find the homeland, and save the country.
