this novel is healthy

Chapter 957: The North and the South are reunited.
[PS: The fourth update starts tomorrow, my legs feel weak just thinking about it! 】

Let’s turn our attention back to the author’s world.

"It's over! I didn't expect that the majestic Yang Jian, a fierce founder of the country, would end up like this. It's so sad!"

"Yes, the founding emperor was such a fierce person. Besides usurping the throne, Yang Jian's martial arts skills were also really high. However, he died at the hands of his own son. How sad and deplorable!" Among the author's readers, a group of readers sighed.

It took more than a year for Liu Xu to conquer the world of Dark God and for his wife to ascend the throne. During this time, the novel "North and South Reunited" came to an end. A week before Leng Tongyou boarded the plane, " "North and South Unify" is officially over.

Compared with the controversial first half of the plot, the second half of "North and South Unity" is much better, and there are many things that readers can't expect.

The first unexpected thing is that the entire unification process is too simple.

After Yang Jian ascended the throne, there were only two opposing regimes in the world, Xi Liang and Nan Chen. Readers thought that this battle to unite the north and the south would be extremely exciting. There must be all kinds of ingenious schemes emerging one after another. With.

Even if it doesn't have the constant climax of the Battle of Chibi, it should at least be as exciting as the Battle of Hanzhong.

As a result, the entire war for the unification of the North and the South ended in less than 30 chapters. The entire war for unification can be summed up in two words: "flat push".

There was no way, the advantage of the Sui Dynasty was too great. It took Yang Jian nine years from ascending the throne to launching the war of unification.During these nine years, Yang Jian recuperated in various ways, reformed the economy, inspected acres of land, etc., which doubled the strength of the Sui army.

In the final unification war, 51 troops were mobilized at one go.

It is worth mentioning that when both sides of the war mentioned the number of tens of thousands of troops, many of them were imaginary numbers.

For example, Cao Cao claimed to have an army of 80, but based on various actual situations, even including civilians, the total number of troops actually used by Cao Cao was almost 30.

Later, Fu Jian's 90-strong army was even more powerful. This was of course nonsense. If there really were 90 troops, they would never be defeated by the Jin army of [-] to [-] men.

However, according to the repeated review of historical materials and actual calculations by later historians, Yang Jian's 50-strong army was actually genuine, although there were about 20 military and civilian servants among them, who were responsible for transporting the grain, baggage, ships, etc. needed by the army.

But there are a solid 30 soldiers who have received systematic and professional military training for fighting, which is very rare in the entire history of ancient wars. A professional army of 30 capable of fighting and providing logistical supplies can indeed rival any force in ancient times.

On the other side, Chen Guo, as the opponent, completely practiced the word "lost". At that time, various strongholds in Jiangbei reported the news of the Sui army going south to Chen Guo, but they were attacked by Xiangzhou Governor Shi Wenqing and Zhongshu Sheren Shen. Ke Qing and others concealed it, and until the war began, Chen Guo was completely unaware and had no prior preparation at all.

What's even more outrageous is that even after the news of the war came, Chen Shubao was still very confident. He was probably because Northern Qi and Northern Zhou had repeatedly attacked Chen State before, but in the end they were blocked by the Yangtze River.Therefore, faced with the military situation calling for reinforcements from the front, Chen Shubao actually didn't care at all, and did not mobilize troops for reinforcements. He still enjoyed himself in the harem, and then naturally there was no more. The entire war to destroy Chen basically went without any disturbance. The Chen State's army collapsed at the first stroke. From the beginning to the end of the war, the war between the north and the south that destroyed the country took less than three months.

The second thing that readers did not expect is that unification is not the end of the plot. Originally, according to the convention of Liu Xu's previous novels, the end of the novel was almost reached after the protagonist unified the world.

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Chu-Han Struggle" are all like this. After the unification of the world, it is completed in 30 chapters. "Han Guangwu" is a little longer. After the unification of the world, there are 50 chapters of the plot, describing how Liu Xiu governs the world after he ascends the throne. But I didn’t write much, I just talked about some governance policies in general.

But "North and South Returning to One" is completely different. Originally, according to the name "North and South Returning to One", it would have ended directly after "North and South Returning to One".

Therefore, when many readers saw that the Sui Dynasty had unified the world, they had already begun to finish spreading flowers in advance.

As a result, I never expected that after the unification of the world, "North and South Reunion" actually had nearly 500 chapters of plot, and it continued to be updated for half a year.

The third thing I didn't expect is that the garbage author really carefully constructed a world, as well as the world's complete governing institutions and various governing policies, and this is also what surprises readers the most.

Also compared with previous novels, the previous novels described various wars in detail. Of course, war is also the content that readers like to read the most and seems to be the most refreshing and simple.

Therefore, previous novels rarely described the content of social and political governance. After all, in the early stage, there were all kinds of wars. Even if some administrative agencies were established, it was to prepare various war resources and truly reflect social governance. There are only plots after the war, but these plots often end in 30 chapters. If you want to know more about social and political content, you can only study Liu Xu's general history series.

But "North and South Unification" is different, because there are 500 chapters of the plot after the unification. After Yang Jian unified the world, he governed the world for 15 years. Adding the previous 9 years, it is a total of 24 years. Yang Jian was in the system to govern the whole world.

As a result, Liu Xu wrote down the entire process and content of governance, ranging from the layout of the court, the formulation of various national policies, wars and diplomatic confrontations with the Turks, etc., to the bureaucracy of a county. , people's lives, etc., were all written by Liu Xu.

Interspersed as the core are the various confrontations between Yang Jian and the aristocratic families. Yang Jian gradually extracted people from the aristocratic families, cleaned up hidden households, reduced tax households, and even proposed a talent selection mechanism such as the imperial examination for the first time, and The most important thing was to completely reform the original imperial bureaucracy and create the three provinces and six ministries system, which was used until the demise of the feudal era.

Many readers may find these contents very boring, so in the mouths of many readers, the plot of the 500 chapters after the unification is very boring, but the plot of these 500 chapters has greatly improved the reputation of "North and South Reunification".

If the Douban score of "North and South Reunited" has dropped to 4.6 after Yang Jian usurped the throne, then after the 500 chapters of the later chapters, the score of "North and South Reunited" has risen to over 8.0, almost doubling.

In the words of readers, through "The Return of North and South", they finally saw a vivid and completely different ancient society with all social aspects before their eyes. This is all Liu Xu's previous novels, and even the entire author's world. There are things that have never been seen in other novels. If we only talk about the plot of these 500 chapters, many readers are even willing to give it a perfect score of 10 points.

And the last unexpected thing in the whole novel is the way Yang Jian died.
