Cang's Ramblings

Chapter 1465 Comments on "Anti-Qing"

Hello everyone, I am Cang Yiwei.

Today I would like to recommend to you a new book that will be on the shelves soon.

"Anti-Qing", author: Aogu Tiexin.

18 words currently being serialized.

Category: History - Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties.

In the third year of the pseudo-Kangxi reign, there was still the last anti-Qing base in mainland China - Kuidong!
【Brief Comment】

He also has three books under his name: "Si Li Jian", "The Great Bandits" and "Sir, You Need to Pay More Money", all of which are excellent works, all on themes of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

There aren't many authors who can write historical texts of this quality. There aren't many who focus solely on the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Therefore, he has a special interest and a unique affection for the Han heroes who bravely resisted in history.

The new book explicitly states its intention: to resist the Qing dynasty and teach Kangxi a lesson. Some readers even challenged "My Father-in-Law is Kangxi," demanding to see which kind of historical writing truly embodies integrity.

Although this book has been published on Sanjiang, it was put on the shelves only two days later. It was a bit rushed, so the data is not very good. The collection has just exceeded 20,000. After 12 o'clock, the VIP chapter will be uploaded and the name of the protagonist Wang Wu will be announced.

Seeing the protagonist's name is Wang Wu, many people will probably think of the martial artist Wang Wu in the late Qing Dynasty. However, the two are not closely related. The protagonist is someone else's adopted son, and the name is based on the order of adoption.

Although his soul has been transferred to a person in the future world, as a soul-transmigrating person, he is not only familiar with some historical events, but also knows which people truly rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and which people are different from the historical records. The author is particularly interested in these details.

The atmosphere of this book is rather depressing until the chapters before it is put on the shelves. The team that the protagonist belongs to is facing a severe situation and may be destroyed by the Qing army at any time. They are faced with a very realistic problem, that is, to surrender or not?
On a snowy night, secret reports arrive that the Governor-General has been betrayed, and the morale of the 4,000-man army is shaken. The protagonist, too, finds conflicting opinions emerging. While the higher-ups rush to negotiate a surrender to the Qing, a deputy commander angrily outlines the nature of the unfair treatment. Many more, like the awakened elite, strengthen their resolve and resolve to resist the Qing. As the author notes, as a historical novel devoid of cheat codes or cheats, the early stages offer few eye-opening moments. Instead, the book builds on the depressing sense of national and religious demise, compounded by the relentless onslaught of war scenes. This, coupled with the relentless flow of battle scenes, could easily discourage readers accustomed to straightforward, straightforward prose.

Recently I rarely read historical texts, especially orthodox ones, because I hate being preached to. Some authors particularly like to insert knowledge points, act like a teacher, etc.

This aspect is relatively rare in this book, almost non-existent. The occasional passionate slogans are also required by the plot. When surrendering to the Qing Dynasty became the mainstream voice, some shouts were necessary. "Holding on for eighteen years, what's the point?" "A good man will not surrender to the Qing Dynasty." "Even if I die, I will be a ghost of the Ming Dynasty." And so on.

I've just subscribed to all the latest chapters, and I saw that the protagonist was given the name "Yaowu" by the King of Han to enhance his military prestige. It's just that this name, shared with a high-ranking Kuomintang general, is a bit of a red herring, but I hope it won't significantly impact the subsequent plot. Writing a book these days always leads to unexpected problems.

In short, this is a very authentic historical novel, and it is also quite challenging for the audience.

【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】

I wrote this review very slowly, read it very carefully, and almost fell asleep due to health reasons. Staying up late is something I'm gradually ditching.
