Guiyi Fei Tang

Chapter 61 Remarks on the launch
I was suddenly notified to put the product on the shelves, which was a bit rushed, but fortunately I had prepared it early, so it wasn’t too embarrassing.

The new book was originally planned to be set in the Jiajing and Wanli periods, but after writing two Ming Dynasty novels in a row, I inevitably felt a little tired, and I happened to want to break out of the comfort zone of the Ming Dynasty, so I chose the relatively "unpopular" Guiyi Army in the late Tang Dynasty as the background of the novel.

Since the subject matter is not very popular, I didn’t expect it to do well before I published the book.

Novels are not math problems and there are no fixed answers.

Different readers may have different understandings and feelings about the same work based on their own experiences, knowledge and emotional background, and may also give different high and low evaluations.

After all, this is the first time I have written a novel on the theme of the late Tang Dynasty, and the writing process is equivalent to a learning process.

Just like the previous two books, normal research is still necessary, so the prices and customs of the late Tang Dynasty background will vary depending on the place.

Just like the prices in Hexi and Guanzhong, the prices in Jiangnan are different.

When talking about the late Tang Dynasty, the customs in Hebei and the Weizhou soldiers are definitely unavoidable topics, so many readers also commented that I portrayed the Guiyi Army as having no temper at all.

But at least from the literature we have currently learned, the customs of the Guiyi Army and the Heshuo vassal state cannot be said to be polarized, but they can be said to be extremely different.

Not to mention the customs of the three towns in Heshuo, even the vassal garrisons between Huaibei, Xuzhou and Sichuan were just as domineering as the military men.

From the Silver Knife Army to the Pang Xun Rebellion, we can see the arrogance of the Xu and Si warriors, but the Guiyi Army does not have this kind of trend.

From Zhang Yitan being held hostage in Chang'an, to the Guiyi Army recovering Liangzhou, the Tang court transferred the Tianping Army to Liangzhou, and summoned Zhang Yichao to Chang'an as a hostage, splitting the Guiyi Army into "smaller ones for easier control". During this period, the Guiyi Army did not show the kind of force demonstrations or demands for official positions like the Yabing of the Three Towns of Heshuo or the Silver Knife Team of the Wuning Army.

Therefore, the atmosphere within the Guiyi Army, at least before Zhang Huaishen was killed, was generally still a kind of remnant mentality. They had their own interests to consider, but also longed for recognition and attention from the Tang court.

This kind of atmosphere, coupled with the fact that Zhang's prestige within the Guiyi Army is too high, is not suitable for the protagonist to grow and develop.

If the protagonist wants to develop well, he has no choice but to go out. However, after all, the protagonist is still a member of the Guiyi Army, so his connection with the Guiyi Army will definitely not be easily cut off, especially his connection with Zhang Yichao and Zhang Huaishen.

As for the development route, I will not explain it in detail here, and leave the content in the chapter on the shelves.

Talk about the update time and update plan after the launch.

It will be on the shelves at 12 o'clock today. It is expected to be updated with 20,000 words, which will be released in four chapters. The chapters will be released around 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

Starting tomorrow, two chapters will be updated every day at 12 noon.

The intensity of updates cannot be compared with the previous two books, mainly due to physical reasons, so please bear with me.
