For me, the author's completion of a novel with a total of more than 2.7 million words is the first time to create the world.

The reason for this work is that it is the lack of books, the reading and understanding of the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and the dream of an author. This dream is undoubtedly long. It has been two years since the first word was typed on the word document on August 17, 2015. Even if it starts from uploading, it will last for twenty-two months.

During this period, staying up late is essential, entertainment activities are also exempted, and social activities are also recommended. All free time is used to find information and write, and fatigue is inevitable. Therefore, in the last month, thinking and hesitation are more, and typing is severely reduced, so taking leave becomes inevitable.

Fortunately, after two years of my work, I finally announced the completion of the book. The author fulfilled his promise from the first publication and presented the story in full. When I wrote down the three words that were finished in the book, I couldn't help but feel relieved.

The reason why the story "The Fourth Year of Yongli" is called this not very likable name is that the fourth year of Yongli was a big year in Zhejiang where the story took place.

This year, the Qing army in Zhejiang launched a comprehensive encirclement and suppression of the anti-Qing forces in eastern Zhejiang. The most important one was the Ming army in Simingshan, and the key was the Ming army in Dalanshan, which Chen Wen initially served.

As mentioned in the introduction, after the Qing Dynasty wiped out the Ming army in Siming Mountain, it carried out a bloody mountain washing operation, in order to remove the corner of the Lu Jian court's journey in Zhoushan. In history, in the second year, the Qing army carried out another mountain washing operation before attacking Zhoushan, ensuring a worry-free retreat, and then launched a large-scale attack on Zhoushan. The end of the Battle of Zhoushan was unexpected, reasonable, and the collapse of the large-scale and organized anti-Qing movement in Zhejiang.

In the story, Chen Wen defected to the Ming army in Dalan Mountain for the sake of his money to travel to Fujian. Later, he decided to leave a change of this tragedy, and compiled a small-scale army that imitated the Qi family army. However, the result of his efforts was that he did not do his best in the internal struggle, and Simingshan did not escape the fate of Xishan. Chen Wen led his troops to rescue tens of thousands of people and the logistics agency of the Ming army in Dalan Mountain, and defeated the chasing Qing army in a battle behind the palace.

This is the story of the first volume and the overall tone. Because in the Southern Ming era, there were frequent internal struggles, and various forces and various factions of the forces were in a variety of ways to fight each other, and finally it was cheaper for me. A foreign race with less than 60,000 core males occupied most of China's land at the beginning of entering the pass, and it took twenty years to barely complete the initial conquest. The traitors and infighting dogs here are of great contribution.

It was precisely because of this environment that Chen Wen had been excluding, fighting, rebellion, defection, discrimination and distrust throughout the journey. Chen Wen fought for the future every day, but there were always people dragging him down. For example, the Cao Conglong Rebellion, which was criticized by many readers at that time, was a lot of people scolded the author for his abuse of the master in various places.

Whether it is understand or not. In history, national heroes like Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong lived in such an environment. The only difference is that Chen Wen is a time traveler and rewrites history with the brute force of the modern army, but they did not succeed, that's all.

The power of Chen Wen to rewrite history comes from institutional changes and military strength. The story is also based on the deduction of modern military tactics from Qi Jiguang as one of the main lines. Chen Wen passed the Yuanyang formation, the long spear formation, and the hollow phalanx. Finally, under the stimulation of the Qing court's successive study of the Spanish phalanx and the Gustav phalanx, he brought out the modern army's killing tactics and wall-style charge tactics, and finally completed the modern transformation.

Formation is a standard of modernization, but more importantly, the strengthening of the system. Chen Wen's military management ideas, strict military laws, generous military merit rewards, and brainwashing of defense between the barbarians and the tempered army. The young guard division in the end of the story is complete. A new recruit can be taken from fear of military laws and mechanical execution orders, and can also ignore sacrifices for faith. This is no longer a modern army, and it can even be said to be the spirit that only modern army can possess.

All this comes from the system, the system of giving land to the field, the Chinese Revival Association, the Dibao, the Art Troupe and other propaganda organizations, but what is more important is the military law. The murder case of veterans in the story is the embodiment of the strict military law pursued by the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Zhang Yida used his life to draw a line for others. Those who violated the military law can die, which can deepen other people's fear of military law, and even ignore the fear of sacrifice for this, so that the army can tolerate greater casualties and continue to move forward.

Revolution is not about treating guests to dinner, and war has always been cruel. Chen Wen destroyed the Qing Dynasty with modern army. At this point, the Gustav formation in Europe was broken, and there was nothing worth writing about military affairs. In terms of national economy and people's livelihood, the first thing is to restore vitality, economy, construction, and the most important thing is to restore population and let heroic mothers give birth to more children. This is the primary task after the Qing Dynasty.

It is common sense to be able to go down the water, but it is actually unnecessary, because my work is originally a work to defeat the Qing Dynasty by military force, and it is no longer a fight in military force. The Ming army in Zhejiang has pushed back from the brink of annihilation and then destroyed the Qing Dynasty by Chen Wen's efforts. The main theme has reached its end and it is time to end.

Colonizing overseas, I forgive me to say bluntly that after restoring vitality, there is also 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 democracy, in the 17th century, haha. In the Republic, I also wanted to catch up with Britain and the United States. What is the result? Those who read history know what the result should be. To put it clearly, what should be done in what era and what stage of development should be. If you take too much steps, you will get rid of it. Nothing like this in ancient and modern times, China and abroad.

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

Writing, especially writing such a long novel, is the first time for me to be in the sedan chair. What should I do and how to do it, I just feel the stones and cross the river little by little.

In terms of character design, except for the protagonist Chen Wen, they are all written while writing. In terms of plot, the detailed outline is constantly being revised. Coupled with the pressure of updates, many places are relatively hasty and rough.

This needs to be improved. This book starts with the 80,000 words saved before uploading. It was used up before the first volume was finished. Then it has been rushing to ensure updates. If the manuscript is really not stored, there is no way to make more systematic modifications.

This will be saved as much as possible before the next book is uploaded to avoid this problem. As for the time of the next book, if nothing unexpected happens, it will take a break in November this year, that is, two months later. I also need to put down the idea of ​​this book and turn to the idea of ​​the next book. The specific progress will be announced in the group, group number: 519264778, welcome to provide guidance.

I will record the results. My work was uploaded on the 12th month and was released on February 20, 2016. It was 550,000 words at the time of the listing, 900 words, 87 in the first order, and 921 in the final book. I will continue to work hard.

There are many ups and downs along the way. Now that I can finish the book, I would like to thank the editor for his always encouragement and the readers for their great support and support.

"Records of the National Historical Site"

In the twelfth month of the thirteenth year of Yongli in the Ming Dynasty, Beijing was captured. In the year and June, Taizu, who had completed the restoration of Liaodong and the Han area south of the Great Wall, returned to Nanjing. Qian Qianyi, the chief minister of the cabinet, led all his ministers to advance with his special merits of destroying the Qing Dynasty, but Taizu refused. He asked Emperor Yongli of the Ming Dynasty before, and Emperor Yongli issued an order: The king of Qi, the governor of the state, adhered to the will of Ming Taizu to expel the Tartars, and should be the master of the world.

The imperial edict of abdication was issued, but Emperor Yongli did not dare to enter the capital, for fear of following the story of the Xiao Ming King, so he sent the prince to the court. In the winter of the same year, Qian Qianyi built a Zen platform, and how could Taizu have had the extraordinary achievements of destroying the Qing Dynasty. He followed the old rules of Taizu of Ming, inherited the orthodox Ming Dynasty, and appointed Emperor Yongli as the Ming King. The head of the kings of the dynasties of the country, changed the country's name to Xia, changed the Yuan Dynasty and Fuxing. The second year was the first year of Fuxing, and established the capital in Nanjing, changed its name to the imperial capital, and the Xia Empire was first established.

The Xia Empire was established and Taizu announced the new policy.

Abolish the three payrolls in the Ming Dynasty, lighten the fertility and weak service, and restore people's livelihood. Reform the tax system and establish a tax structure with land tax, tariffs, salt and tea, commercial taxes, and official business as the main body. While resting with the people, the national treasury will be more prosperous...

We implemented strategies to encourage childbirth, rewarded the mothers of meritorious soldiers, and gave them plaques of heroic mothers. We exempted the tax on families with three children and more. People who concealed and avoided taxes were released, and the trend of living among the people was prevalent. Due to the harsh rule of the Ming Dynasty, the rampant bandits and the massacre of the Qing Dynasty were quickly recovered. By the 30th year of Revival, Taizu died of illness and Emperor Wen ascended the throne, and the population counted was over 20 million...

The school was built, and the state subsidized food and accommodation, and the Boy Scout Academy was still exempted from food and accommodation fees and set up scholarships. On the grounds that the family funds of the captains were seized, they forcibly rented Shi Jianyinshan on the grounds that Japan smuggled weapons from the Qing Dynasty, and gained huge profits to promote education...

Establish a cabinet, and all departments are in charge of administration; the four levels of the central, provincial, prefecture and county are in charge of justice; the Civil Code is amended, and a Senate composed of nobles and senior civilians are in charge of legislation; the Ministry of War, garrison and combat troops are in charge of military recruitment, training and protection of the three powers...

Reform the imperial examination system, set the percentage system, and cut the eight-legged contents every year. Xingming Calculation, physics, chemistry, and Ming law subjects, and adjust the knowledge structure of scholars and officials...

The new policy was strictly implemented, and many scholars and officials were dissatisfied. However, Emperor Taizu of Xia was decisive and determined in his character. He ruled the country according to law, and even if he was dissatisfied, it would not be enough to change. His words and strictly prohibited foot binding were to shave his hair and change his clothes for the Xia Empire, which was nothing more than a pleasure in the words.

Unlike previous dynasties, the Xia Empire was established at the end of the Tartars sweeping the world, and people's livelihood was declining. Although the law of restoring people's livelihood was strictly prohibited, and the law of pursuing military merits and teaching fields was strictly prohibited. A large number of landless people joined the governor's offices in various provinces to serve as preparations for the people, and more landlords recruited tenants and planting workers for military meritorious deeds.

The proportion of self-cultivated farmers in the households is slow, military meritorious landlords are spread all over the country, plantations and planting cooperatives are prevalent, and economic crops produced in coastal provinces are processed by workshops and sold overseas, which also causes the tax structure of the Xia Empire to undergo qualitative changes compared with the previous ones.

However, the acquisition of land can only be achieved through military merits. The military merits and aristocratic groups, military merits and landlords, and the people who are eager to obtain eternal land have formed the main force of expansion.

So far, the Xia Empire has not been evenly average, but has been carrying out wars of big or small every year. Even in the national policy of resting for twenty years with the first year of Revival, the punishment of Mongolian tribes in the southern desert, the pursuit of the remnants of Manchu and Qing dynasties in Liaodong, the removal of anti-Xia forces in North Korea, and the transformation of the chieftains in the southwest provinces have never stopped.

By the 30th year of Revival, most of the Nuer Gandusi of the former Ming Dynasty, Hetao area, Shaanxi Xingdusi and the entire territory of Korea had been included in the territory; the chieftains of Hubei, Hunan, Guangxi and Guizhou either surrendered or fled, and only one province in Yunnan was left. Although the fire of rebellion had not disappeared, the garrison troops carried out strict clearance. After several years, a plantation composed of military merits and fields was established. The Han people moved more and more, and the local people were dismissed, and they were happy to be a Chinese citizen. From then on, they would always be a land of China.

However, Emperor Wen ascended the throne, in order to seek the monarch's centralization and support the Confucian scholars and officials to check and balance military merits and landlords. On the 16th day of the first lunar month of the third year of Emperor Wen's Xingguo, a coup broke out. The next day, Emperor Wen abdicated and his sister, Princess Qin, ascended the throne, and was Emperor Wu.

When the Xia Empire was first established, the four barbarians came to the court, and Taizu recruited Siam, Ryukyu and other countries into the tribute system, refused to restore the country for Korea, and annexed its territory to the Andong Protectorate.

In the first year of Fuxing, Bai Mang, the Dongwu Dynasty in Myanmar, killed his brother and established himself. Taizu refused to recognize Bai Mang as the king of Burma. The feudal Ming king was in Myanmar, and supported the King of Jin as a supplement to support a large number of military supplies.

In April of the following year, King Jin defeated Awa in northern Myanmar, and King Zhu Youlang of Ming Dynasty established the Ming Kingdom, changed Awa to Chengtian Prefecture, and entered the Xia Empire's tribute system.

However, when he went south, most of the troops of the King of Jin were fled. Although the Confucian scholars and the southwestern chieftains who were suppressed in the Xia Empire had many people who went south one after another, most of them had no ability to govern the country, had the talent to command the troops, and had a lot of internal consumption. In addition, the proportion of the Han population was too low, and Myanmar resisted more than strongly, so the King of Jin won consecutive battles and destroyed the Dongwu Dynasty, but never completely occupied Myanmar, and had to confront the new Baigu Dynasty, which was rebuilt by the Meng people, in central Myanmar.

In the fifteenth year of Fuxing, the prince of Yanping died of illness. His son Zheng Jing asked to be a vassal. Taizu refused and sent Wu Dengke to the general of the recruitment and attack him. Chen Qice attacked him as the deputy general of the recruitment and attack. Zheng Jing was defeated in Penghu and asked to surrender, and Taiwan was included in the territory.

In the fourth year of Emperor Wu's Zhengguo, King Jin died of illness and the prince inherited the position of King Jin. However, the young king of Jin could not compare with his father's talent and had fought hard for many years. Awa was captured by the Baigu Dynasty. King Li Sixing of Jin was killed in a fierce battle. The prince protected King Ming Zhu Youlang to flee to Yunnan and requested to support him. The Baigu Dynasty slaughtered all the Han people of Awa.

In the fifth year of Emperor Wu's rule, the Ming Dynasty invited him to be a national guest. The Xia army gathered 60,000, supplemented by Japan, Ryukyu and Taiwanese natives, the naturalized army formed by Japan, Ryukyu and Taiwan, invaded Myanmar from sea to sea, defeated Yangon, and captured all Myanmar in October of the following year. The Burmese Captain was set up and placed under the Nanyang Protectorate, and the Myanmar country no longer existed.

During the tour of Myanmar, the Xia army and the Naturalized Army were ordered by Emperor Wu to slaughter all the Meng tribes in Myanmar and the Burmese tribes who were accused of rebelling. Emperor Wu praised them for their tits and blood for their blood. Since then, Emperor Wu has been in a state for a long time and has slaughtered many surrounding countries. The four major protectors of Nanyang, Anxi, Anbei and Zhenbei were established, and the title of the Blood Queen shocked the world.

In the 60th year of Emperor Wu's rule, Emperor Wu died of illness and was said to be the grandson of Emperor Wen. Emperor Xuan used the policy of the Wu Empire and expanded greatly.

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