Cang's Ramblings

Chapter 1330 1328. Comments on "Living in Hongwu as a Salted Fish"

Hello everyone, I am Cang Yiwei.

Today I would like to recommend to you an excellent historical text.

"Living Like a Salted Fish in Hongwu", by Fiery Red Chicken Mushroom, 110 million words, currently being serialized.

Category: History - Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties.

Summary:
Traveling back to the end of the Hongwu period, the incompetent Zhu Yunhuan said that it was good to be a salted fish king.

Having soldiers, money and a little land, it's a perfect life.

But there was an old man who was very bad. He forced him to learn this and that all day long, and always made promises for him, saying that he would take over after he retired.

Nonsence!

I haven't even taken the class on socialism, how can I believe in your nonsense?
【Brief Comment】

He only has this book to his name, and he has produced such a masterpiece in one go, which is commendable.

The story tells that the protagonist was an ordinary working class in his previous life, who accidentally traveled to the Ming Dynasty and became the second son of Prince Zhu Biao during the Hongwu period. His mother was the daughter of Chang Yuchun, so he was actually a concubine's son.

At the beginning of the story, his father passed away. He passed away during the wake. Because of his weak health, Old Zhu temporarily exempted him from the responsibility of keeping vigil.

That night, after taking medicine and feeling a little better, he ran to the mourning hall, wanting to talk to his past life self, but met Old Zhu, who had been keeping vigil over the casket due to excessive grief.

Anyone who has read a little history of the Ming Dynasty knows Zhu Yuanzhang's character very well. Even Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, did not dare to act rashly.

The protagonist, relying on his young age and weak body, spoke casually, leading Old Zhu to think that he was the one being scolded.

Zhu Biao's death can only be said to be an accident. However, the old master had other reasons and beat the protagonist to a pulp.

At the dinner party the next day, the protagonist, either out of his mind or driving faster than the police, actually acted like a big eater and ate alone, not caring at all about the opinions of other royal family members.

His eccentricity left many people feeling aggrieved, and the characters weren't entirely based on historical material, so they weren't overly stereotyped. However, the writing was lackluster, and the chaotic, disorganized phrases made it nearly impossible for the book to reach higher ground.

Especially when compared with the previous historical novels of the same dynasty with tens of thousands of subscriptions, the gap is really huge.

From my personal preference, I should only read it before it is put on the shelves. It is purely a matter of different tastes.

However, for the larger online literature market, there are still many readers who like to read this kind of historical literature for beginners, and the momentum seems to be very strong.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment.

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”.

Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

To be honest, the amateur historical writing does not look particularly solid, and it seems that the author's foundation is not solid enough.

Unlike those authors who have carefully studied various historical materials and can really write a historical novel with flavor, they spend too much energy to study the things behind the novel.

However, due to the commercial nature of online literature, the frequency and amount of updates during the serialization period can often force the author to become a dragon.

Those readers who only need a few minutes every day to finish the latest chapter of a novel they are reading will complain that it is too short.

Behind the scenes, the author sacrificed countless opportunities to play every day, forced by invisible pressure to sit at the desk, thinking about the naughty kids in the next yard who might be treated differently.

All this was because of the ambition he made when he first came here, which was to never lay hands on the throne.
