When he finished writing these three words in the book, Tiger was filled with emotion. As of today, it has been exactly one year and nine months since the first chapter of this book was uploaded on November 19, 2021.
In these twenty-one months, Tiger completed 3.56 million words of writing, averaging about 170,000 words per month.
If you take into account that the updates were basically intermittent in July and August this year, the average monthly words will be a little more.
For Tiger, this is a brand new record and a milestone in life. Especially in terms of income, this book can be said to be the book where Tiger really makes money.
And all of this is inseparable from the support and companionship of book friends.
Back then, when Tiger first had the idea to write a story about the Guiyi Army, he had to start with an old man he met while traveling in Dunhuang.
My brother is from Yunnan, but according to him, his ancestors are from Gansu. The identity card says Tibetan, but in fact he should be Tu.
The elder brother was very convinced that he was a Tuyuhun person, and he produced evidence from DNA testing, saying that his family was the Murong clan of Guazhou who integrated into Xixia, and was finally conquered by the Mongols and brought back to the Hehuang Valley.
At that time, Tiger didn't understand these things at all, and couldn't distinguish between true and false. He himself was from a young age and didn't have much social experience. He was stunned by him, and he felt a lot of admiration in his heart.
My brother was very happy to see that someone seemed to really believe what he was saying. He immediately took the tiger to play in Dunhuang. He said that he would come here every few years as a way to worship his ancestors.
(The image of Murong Nobunaga was written exactly according to the appearance of this old man. He was tall and mighty, enthusiastic and passionate, but seemed a bit devilish. At first, he was designed to be the brother of the protagonist, but then he thought about how grown-up he seemed. More interesting.)
During the tour, Tiger also learned about the Shazhou Rebel Army’s story from others for the first time, and learned about Zhang Yichao, a national hero who could sing and cry, and felt infinite admiration and regret in his heart.
It's just that Tiger didn't write about the Guiyi Army in his first book, because the history of the Guiyi Army was too unknown, and Tiger was worried that if he wrote about it, he wouldn't be able to find book friends who could sympathize with it.
I have to thank Bilibili UP Anzhou Mu for bringing this evocative history that had been dusty for many years back into the eyes of history lovers.
Although many big names in Gansu Province and at home and abroad have been studying the Guiyi Army before, they have not been promoted to ordinary people.
With the popularity of the Anzhou Mu Guiyijun series, Tiger finally came up with the idea of writing Guiyijun, thinking that even if he didn't get any feedback on income, he would always be able to find a few fans.
But the reality gave Tiger a big surprise. Although there were some flaws in many aspects of Tiger's writing, book friends still gave him great support and enthusiasm, which enabled Tiger to persevere and finish the book.
Here, I would like to thank my two allies, Jiuye Emperor Book Club and Jiang Xuanjing Book Club.
Thanks to the master, the angel book friend in the dark night.
Elder, ZJM inscription book friend.
As well as the 22 book friends of the hall master in Hanshan Temple and Zangdao Bar outside Suzhou City.
Two hundred and forty-seven fully subscribed book friends, and all 9,000 book friends who have subscribed.
It's your support that makes Tiger feel tired every night when his back aches from coding, but it's worth it!
The Return of Tang Er in the Vast Sea is over, but Tiger’s next book will be released to everyone in early September. Tiger sincerely invites all book friends to come and taste it and make corrections at that time.
Thank you and see you in September!
(There will be about ten chapters of extra chapters in the future, including the future of the Six Methods Sect, etc., which will be presented, but there may be no guarantee for the update. Tiger will try to code it out as soon as possible.)
