Chapter 95 Sanjiang's Reflections + Talk about the direction of this book

With the daily follow-up support of all the readers, this book has finally stumbled into Sanjiang.

I am very touched.

Although it is not the first time to go to Sanjiang, it is worth cheering to be able to go to Sanjiang.

It can be said that this book can go further and longer only after going to Sanjiang.

I am very grateful to the editor Wu Xing, and I would like to thank all readers for their support.

For more, more formal thanks, I'll put them in my testimonial.

I am opening this leaflet today, mainly because I want to take this opportunity to talk about this book with you.

In the next three to five days, the first volume should be finished.

Personally, I am quite satisfied with the first volume.

Except that the emotional drama was written too hastily, the previous stories of Yan Qingbo and Peng Ke were stuffed into the book without preparation, so that everyone has no sense of substitution. I want to criticize this point.

I thought a lot about the love-hate relationship between the two five years ago, but the readers didn't know it.

I didn't think about this point. In fact, it should be paved slowly at the beginning.

So I reined in the cliff in time and didn't go any further.

In addition to the emotional drama, there are really two lines in the first volume, one is the marriage between Mu Xiyun and Peng Ke, the family affairs involved, and Peng Polu's wrist.

The other is to clean up the rivers and lakes, and by the way, reveal the tip of the iceberg of Wude in the world.

I feel like it's okay to write.

In the first line, Peng Polu, who only appeared in one chapter, and who is still "I'm a big boy", is about Hou Ye's machismo side behind him.

Although Peng Polu only appeared in one chapter, and he was still a loving father who begged Peng Ke to go on a blind date.

But after the recovery of the foreshadowing in the previous chapters, everyone should have a clearer understanding of Peng Polu, and his image has been established.

It also explained why Peng Ke became the commander of Jinyiwei at such a young age, and why he was sent to clean up the rivers and lakes.

From this point, you can also see that I am not so happy to write books, and many of them are ambush first, which seems a bit slow.

Just like when Peng Ke first appeared on the stage as the commander of the third-rank Jinyiwei, many people thought it was outrageous.

But after reading more than 80 chapters, you will find that it is reasonable for him to become a third-rank commander.

So, if there are some unreasonable plots in the future, I hope everyone can give me a little patience, maybe it will be reversed?
As for the second line, regarding the display of martial arts in this world, I think it is not bad.

There are more than 80 chapters, and more than ten kinds of steam weapons are mentioned, many of which are just tasted, because the real drama is in the second volume.

Such as steam mechanical dogs, thunderbolts, and steam chariots that only appeared in Penke's mouth, super cannons over eight inches, ironclad ships, and occultism.

These are the main contents of the second and third volumes.

The first volume is actually just the tip of the iceberg, including civilian technologies, such as typewriters, steam automatons, steam rotary tillers, and more steampunk technologies that I haven’t written yet.

The influence of steam technology in all aspects from civilian to military, these are all started in the first volume, so that everyone can get a little impression, and then spread out.

If I want to write a complete steampunk world, it is obviously not possible to write clearly in 20 words, so I choose to take my time and write part by part.

The second volume will be a volume full of wars, and it will also be a volume in which Penke really left his father's wings and went to the battlefield to grow up.

I can guarantee that the second volume is definitely more exciting than the first volume.

After all, most of the first volume is foreshadowing, to make everyone familiar with this slightly unfamiliar world view.

If everyone can catch up here, I think the second volume will only make everyone feel better!
As for the overall direction of the book, many people have asked whether the protagonist is an emperor or a rebel.

I can only say that it will not be rebellion or hegemony in the traditional sense.

Of course, the protagonist does not have a heart for the emperor.

If you have to say it, the core theme of this book should be "change"!
The era of steampunk itself is an era of drastic changes in the social system.

This will be a change from the bottom up.

And it's the second half of the book that really kicks in.

To change, we first need to accumulate strength, and secondly, we need to cultivate a class that wants to change.

I can spoil a little bit.

The second volume is called "A Thousand Miles of Snow in the North Country".

The third volume is called Nanyang Wind and Clouds.

Steampunk, how can there be no great voyage and colonization.

Nanyang Freeport, the meeting and collision of Eastern and Western giant ships and mysticism is also a very interesting thing.

And once the Ming Dynasty began to colonize, the drastic social changes it triggered would naturally give birth to the changes that Penke wanted to see.

At that time, if the system cannot keep up with the times, it will naturally be forced by the people to change. This is not something that two wise and mighty emperors can stop.

The trend is irreversible.

Once the wheel of the times is started, it will only roll forward.

This is a story about changing times.

And Penke may just be an introduction or guide who played a very important role in it.

Accidentally said so much.
Besides, it's a serious spoiler.

Well, the days are still very long, I hope you will encourage me!
