158 On the Imperial Examinations(2/2)

Zhu Yunxi, who was sitting on the soft sedan, suddenly turned around. Outside Fengtian Hall, the old man stood there with several eunuchs, watching with a smile.

Grandpa Huang! Zhu Yunxi’s heart was infinitely moved.

I water is a few words.

Writing this chapter is more difficult than any previous chapter, and there are a lot to consider. The first is review, and the second is that I know that writing Tie Xuan in this way will definitely be unflattering and will lose some readers.

But as a more rigorous historical author, I feel that I cannot instill those narrow-minded and stupid one-sided thoughts in the book to young readers.

To restore history and the spirit of that era as much as possible is to be responsible to the readers and to do our best.

Today, the current harsh Internet environment is actually caused by these historical authors who continue to instill distorted ideas, carry private information, and deliberately attract attention.

All the reasons why I am not allowed to write are actually my own fault.

A real Ming Dynasty and a real passionate history are what readers want to see.

Tie Xuan is a descendant of the Semu people, and his descendants are divided into two groups. You can search for details on Baidu, and they will tell you about the same.

Our China is different from other countries. We are a civilization that stands in the world in the form of a country. We are a civilized country.

The characteristics of our civilization are unique in the world, and it is precisely this that our civilization has never been cut off no matter what.

The reason why I write this is because I read a book review a few days ago that made me very angry. That book review was full of one-sided narrow-mindedness and mzism.

We must know that our civilization is the sea, which is capable of self-purification and strong error correction capabilities. The sea can accommodate the influx of water from different rivers. The sea is formed by the convergence of stems and branches. Without rivers, how can there be a sea.

I am not trying to preach, but because the more I read history, the deeper I feel.

Historically, in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to Tie Xuan, Zheng He was also a Muslim, and famous scholars Ma Shayihei, Hu Dengzhou, etc. The Islam in the Central Plains is different from other areas, and it is more compatible with our local color.

If you have any friends from the north, you will understand what I mean. The halal restaurants in the north are just fine except that they don’t have big meat.

In addition to the Semu people, the Mongols were also an unavoidable topic in the Ming Dynasty.

The tolerance of the Ming Dynasty was reflected in these other ethnic groups.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, raised troops in Jianghuai, and later there were many poor lower-class Mongolian soldiers in the army. Fu Youde, Chang Yuchun, and Xu Da all had their shadows in every battle.

When Zhu Di arrived, he reused these brave and skilled warriors and regarded them as his confidants.

During the Ming Dynasty and the Tumubao Incident, countless Mongolian generals died heroically.

Xue Shou was a Mongol general in the Ming Dynasty. He was brave and good at fighting. Even when his string was broken and his arrows were all gone, he still used his empty bow to hit the enemy. He was eventually dismembered and died.

Brothers Wu Kezhong and Wu Keqin were Mongolian generals who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. They were proficient in cavalry and archery. The Ming Dynasty Mongolian cavalry was also the main force under their command.

I won’t list them one by one here to avoid the suspicion of too many words.

In short, the Ming Dynasty we love and the history we love are broad and inclusive.
Chapter completed!
