Based on this incident, who dares to say that he is not a hero who fought against the Jin Dynasty?

Then what? If you look carefully, you will find a historical document in some corner, which records that when he was a thief, when he attacked the city, he gathered all the people in the villages around the city, forced them to fill the trenches and pave the road with knives, and also found the pregnant women who were among them, and performed caesarean sections to remove the fetuses in front of everyone... Why?

It is not for eating, but for divination.

Based on this historical data, who dares to say that he is qualified to be a hero? Could the Jin army be more brutal and barbaric than this? Fan Qiong, who represented the lowest level of the fallen army, was better than him in peeling people's skin!

But this man was eventually recruited and became a commander, and then he continued to move forward...

Of course, Shao Qing is an extreme person, so extreme that I dare not write about him, I can only write about Fan Qiong.

But most of the rebel armies and military bandits were complicated, with good and bad people among them, and there were really all kinds of people... I only started to come into contact with Song Dynasty historical materials when I started writing this book, and it was a last-minute effort. But from my historical perspective, I came to the conclusion that, in general, these rebel armies and military bandits who had lost their restraints were really more corrupt than the government troops.

Why? It is not because the government army is so great, but because on one side there is unbridled abuse of force and the evil of human nature runs rampant in troubled times; on the other side there is some restraint, the court and the system restrain these people.

Therefore, at that time, Han Shizhong, who was full of evil, had reason to look down on these people and trick them into being killed at any time. Li Yanxian also had reason to be recognized as a regular army by the court from the very beginning... Who wants to be regarded as this kind of person?

It is even more reasonable for civil servants to dislike these people.

Of course, Yue Fei, who was roughly the same as these people and was an exiled soldier from Hebei, was a special case. He cannot be compared with others. This man could become a role model for Chinese soldiers for thousands of years because of his unique qualities... I often debate with people in the group, saying that there are two points about Yue Fei. One is his simple and great patriotism... that is, the shame of Jingkang has not yet been avenged, and the hatred of the ministers should be eradicated; the other is his grassroots perspective and feelings that broke through the simple era. He really treated the grassroots people as human beings... that is, he would not plunder even if they starved to death, and would not demolish their houses even if they froze to death.

Any one of these two things can make a person break through the shackles of the times, let alone two of them? With these two things in his body, what is the difference between having different eyes and beating people when drunk? They are the elements that make him come alive from a god and become a man.

In fact, the name Yue Fei itself has a certain specific context in Chinese culture. Similarly, it seems inadequate that Gandhi and Saladin need two people to share the nickname "Mahatma".

When a person is great to a certain extent, just saying his name creates a lyrical feeling.

However, we cannot, because of his halo, think too highly of those with similar backgrounds to him... Back to the historical context, we must avoid this situation.

In short, coming back to the past, after saying so much, I have to say again that no matter how complicated the composition of these people is or how corrupt they are, you have to admit that the situation in those days had become like this. If you want to clean up the situation militarily, the remaining troops, the rebel army, and all those who can be united militarily must be united, and then restrained and used. Only in this way can you achieve victory as early as possible.

And just as Zhao Jiu said when he questioned Du Chong, only when the war ends, these things that destroy humanity will disappear, and people will be qualified to be human beings.

In fact, this is the greatness of Zong Ze. He sees more clearly and understands the deep-seated contradictions or the root causes of contradictions. He knows the necessity of this force.

Relatively speaking, each person in the bureaucratic system is a good person if taken individually, but when they form a system together, it is impossible for them to become an efficient machine in a short period of time. What's more, the Jin army will not give the protagonist the opportunity to integrate the bureaucratic system... or perhaps, it was fortunate that the Jin army arrived quickly and prevented him from being assimilated into the comfort zone of the bureaucratic system.

Therefore, in the second half of this volume, faced with the real military dilemma, the protagonist who has come to his senses has no choice but to go to Liangshan in silence on a snowy night instead of dying in silence.

Hence the sudden excitement in the second half of the plot.

But two things must be said here... One is that from the perspective of the plot, the protagonist is taking advantage of others. He is actually using Zong Ze's legacy and remaining prestige to complete his redemption. Without Zong Ze cleaning up so many people for this country, the protagonist would not even have the capital, so he completely woke up when facing Zong Ze, and then wrote that poem, because he found in Zong Ze the other leg he was missing, and a true path;

On the other hand, from the author's perspective, I would say that I didn't write this part well... because it could have been better. As you know, that part was updated on time and it was great. I was so proud of it. But in fact, many times, when it was very late, I only wrote half or two-thirds of a chapter. At this time, I often rushed to write the last third or even half of the chapter in half an hour or an hour. It was dry and without any polish. This made the plot, which could have been more climaxed, feel like it didn't climax at the end of the chapter.

So I still have to apologize.

But no matter what, Emperor Zhao has found his own place of dormant lights and has placed so many life and death talismans, so let’s not talk about any emotional analysis.

I'll just tell you a few small stories as usual.

Historically, Zhao Gou did rely on elevating Su Shi and using Su Shi as an introduction to promote his own political stance, and then he roughly inherited the old party stance of Song Qinzong, but presented it in a more vague and subtle way.

My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It’s even more exciting later!
