Originally, when you write a book, you just write a book. Who will read it if you give some testimonials?

But I have been very confused recently. After chatting with the editor today, I discovered my problem and couldn't help but say a few words.

First of all, let’s talk about the original intention of writing this book. Why do we work so hard every day to write a book?

Answer: Make money!

Yes, I am a layman, I have no lofty ideals, and I don’t want to speak for a saint. I wrote this book just to make some money, and then order a King Supreme... No, I just had a meal of KFC Crazy Thursday, that’s all.

Choosing Tumubao to start is just one of many choices. It’s not that Zhu Qizhen has any charisma. On the contrary, this person has done nothing in history except abolishing burials.

Why did you choose this opening?

The main purpose of historical novels is to make up for the regrets in history. The two biggest regrets of the Ming Dynasty were that one was the fall of the country at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the other was the Tumu Fort.

Most people choose Chongzhen to start. In fact, I have thought about it, but I am not familiar enough with the history of the late Ming Dynasty and I am not ready yet, so I settled for the next best thing and chose Tumu Fort.

This was a historical event that almost cut off the entire Ming Dynasty. If we personally acted as if we were surrounded by the Oara army, what would we do?

Some people said that he would commit suicide on the spot and let Zhu Qiyu succeed him.

no problem!

In fact, this is how history goes. Although Zhu Qizhen did not commit suicide on the spot, Zhu Qiyu was responsible for a series of operations after the civil fort. If written like this, it is just copying the original history and adding at most more

When some technologically powerful countries enter, they always feel that nothing is happening.

Well, let’s have a hell start!

Now the protagonist is you, Zhu Qizhen. You have to change your destiny and turn the tide. Doesn’t it sound exciting?

On the contrary, if Zhu Qizhen had not been captured, wouldn't his reputation be so bad?

After talking about the opening, let’s talk about some of the major “poisonous points” in this book. I won’t talk about the small ones. I will only talk about the big ones, which are the ones that everyone criticized the most.

The first one is to open the city gate and save the people.

Let me explain why this plot exists.

In fact, it is to pave the way for the lone army to go deep into the desert. The plot of going deep into the desert has been designed, and then there is the opening of the city gate. By the way, the original plan was to defend Juyong Pass, but for the sake of the subsequent plot, it was changed to

To Badaling.

Some people say that the city gate cannot be opened, otherwise the casualties will be greater.

Others say that if the emperor makes this move, the generals behind him must follow suit, and the result will be either the loss of the city or their lives.

No problem, everyone’s starting point is very practical, I can only say that I didn’t handle it well here, it was too blunt.

But it can't be changed, because if it is changed here, the subsequent plot will not be able to develop.

All in all, I would like to apologize to you all!

Second, on the grassland, cutting the weeds does not remove the roots.

In fact, the original plot here is relatively simple, which is to let go of these unproductive "burdens" and let them consume more resources of the Wala people. At the same time, they can also serve as a guide and help the plot advance.

The problem is that this place contains private goods.

I spent nearly 2,000 words describing how the protagonist, in order to retain the humanity in the hearts of the soldiers of the Three Thousand Battalion, prevent them from turning into murderous beasts, and finally turned into superfluous, pure white lotus images.

Regardless of the original intention, it was indeed not handled well here, so I apologize again!

The third one is that two emperors share the same dynasty.

I have thought of several options on how to deal with Zhu Qiyu.

Or, let him rebel, then fail and be exiled;

Either, let him become a vassal, or lead a group of soldiers and horses to expand the territory;

After thinking about it, I finally decided to stay, because the protagonist has to continue fighting, and it is not okay for the capital to be guarded by no one. After all, Zhu Jianshen is only two years old and is still nursing.

A series of reforms will be carried out in the clan in the future. Zhu Qiyu has a special status and must stand up and set an example.

As for the handling here that makes everyone dissatisfied, then...apologize again!

The editor's words touched me deeply. There is no right or wrong in the plot, and private goods can be included. The key lies in the way it is handled.

I make a promise today. If you encounter something you don’t like, please feel free to criticize me. I promise not to delete the post or block it, and I will fully accept everyone’s criticism!

As for the previous plot, I really can’t change it. I’ll work hard on the latter!

Finally, a little spoiler, the second volume contains a lot of content and is very scattered, but an important plot is to find out the traitor who had an affair with the Wala people, and then it's all over!

Alas, my hand speed is so slow when typing. I wrote a speech of more than a thousand words and finished it casually. I am such a waste...
Chapter completed!
