One is that I found that after the chapters were uploaded in the past two days, there would be duplication at the beginning. Some paragraphs would appear twice in the chapters. I have reported it to the administrator and strive to solve it as soon as possible, but this problem does not increase the total number of uploads.
Number of words.【】
The other is to complain. Writing history, especially history with a real background, is quite difficult. I will use this chapter to talk about it. In addition to the characterization and plot setting that every novel author needs to consider,
In addition to other issues, what additional homework do authors of historical novels need to do if they want to be serious?
Just take this chapter as an example. I want the protagonist to escape from the capital smoothly. The cat-and-mouse game is also played outside the city, because if it is in the city, the protagonist will be completely defeated and it is impossible to go against the will. But how to get out of the city? The protagonist has no magic.
If he has a fighting spirit and can kill someone if he wants to, then he must have the best way to hide his identity and appear as reasonable as possible.
Okay, first of all, I need to go to the data and look up the various types of industries in society during the Ming Dynasty. Among all industries, I want to find an industry that is related to the government. The inspections related to the government are relatively loose, and I need to make it special.
, easy to sneak in, internal management is not strict, and he is indifferent to the most important events in the hustle and bustle of the capital.
To find an industry that meets this requirement, I had to check a lot of information, and finally I found the department that deals with palace toilets.
Next, I want to check the detailed information of this industry, its personnel composition, and entry and exit rules. Maybe you will not be able to see it by making it up, but I will try to keep it as close as possible.
After checking these, I thought they were heading towards the Xiaoling Mausoleum, and then they had to check which of the thirteen gates of Jinling leads to the Xiaoling Mausoleum. I found out, it is the Chaoyang Gate.
After I found out, I will check again whether Chaoyang Gate was a residential area or an imperial city area at that time, which determines whether there are more or less people entering and exiting this city gate;
After finding out, I will also check the information, check outside Chaoyang Gate, all the way to Xiaoling, whether it was a residence or a farmland at that time...
When you come down after this chapter is written, you may have swept over the details I just mentioned. If I made it up at will, you may still not come up with anything, but what I want to say is that I want to
I tried my best to ensure that it was in line with the situation at that time, so I did a lot of preparation work here. I can't just stare at the screen and watch the movie in my mind and just write it down.
In this situation, you can imagine how much energy and time it took me to write a chapter. How much more time and energy it took to write the same chapter than others.
I'd better update as much as possible, but I have to take a break from time to time. Since I resigned, I have been busy running the procedures and typing, and I haven't taken a break yet, and I haven't bothered to recuperate my body. But my rest is not necessarily
It's slower than others, just comparing with myself.
Furthermore, there is a question that many readers are struggling with: whether to change history.
I have set up a reader survey on the book page. If you are interested, you can vote and express your intention.
I think it needs to be changed, but! Before the end of the crisis, try to be as realistic as possible. For major events, even if I don’t say 100%, you have to research the data carefully and try to be as realistic as possible. You can’t change it.
Because Zhu Di became the Yongle Emperor, which was not in line with Confucianism, and the subsequent Qing chiefs poured dirt on him, this period of history was beyond recognition. I want to restore the history in my heart, and this period must be as objective and true as possible. If
Adding a lot of changes in history, the merits and demerits of the Jingnan period and the evaluation of both parties will be unconvincing. Can I use fabricated facts to prove who is right and who is wrong?
Therefore, there will be no major changes until the Jingnan crisis is over.
Concerning Jian and his close vassal-killing ministers, the Confucians used Spring and Autumn writing methods to embellish their actions in various ways, leaving behind a pile of praises riddled with holes and loopholes that simply cannot withstand scrutiny. They praised them for a long time. Okay, but they can't cite a single piece of evidence. As for Zhu Di, they slandered him in every possible way, and even made up a big lie that Zhu Yuanzhang and his eldest, second, and third brothers were still alive more than ten years ago, and he had turned against him. .
These are some of the questions I raised in the chapter "Cong Lun Dao".
When Zhu Di entered Nanjing, he first listed 29 war criminals, and then added 53 more. The only ones he killed and implicated were these families. The methods he used were also those used by feudal monarchs. Compared with Li Shimin's method of killing his elder brother and his whole family, and beating his several-month-old nephew to death, Zhu Di was kind to his political opponents and Zhu Yun's family, but how did he describe him?
Even when Zhu Di is mentioned, what is talked about is his "bad deeds" of purging political opponents in the few months after entering Nanjing. After that, he served as emperor for so many years, and his great achievements extended as far as the Han and Tang Dynasties. Who has mentioned it? In history textbooks In the past, even the credit for the overseas voyages was attributed to his wage earner Zheng He, but Zhu Di, the big boss who really made the decision, was left aside.
The folk legend of "Executing the Ten Tribes" even made up the legend of Zhang Xianzhong entering Sichuan and killing tens of millions of people during the Ming Dynasty. They dare not admit it to be true, because the old Fang family, not to mention collateral, natal family, and friends, Students..., there were too many people among them who were still alive and kicking at that time, including his own four legitimate sons who were half alive. However, this storytelling legend replaced the real history and was sung and sung...
There is also Tie Xuan, who only has two sons and no daughters. His wife committed suicide, and his two sons fled to Tieling outside Guan. During the Qing Dynasty, his descendants even served as second-level Taoists, but in the end, the entire family was wiped out. This was not enough, they had to make up two daughters for him, use eye-catching brothels to describe how evil Zhu Di was, and even make up a vivid imperial edict...
Another example is that after Zhu Yungong set fire, Zhu Di entered Nanjing. What did the honest men who were in and out of Beijing do at that time? The second-place Wang Gen committed suicide by poisoning, Jing Qing had a sharp knife in his arms and was preparing to assassinate him, Zhuo Jing was killed for his unyielding determination and wanted to die, and he was recruiting troops outside. Huang Guan heard that the general situation was serious and had thrown himself into the river... These are all ministers of integrity.
However, what about Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, who were recruiting soldiers outside? They were captured back to the capital and sentenced to death. They were taken to the execution ground and publicly executed together with Fang Xiaoru, who was still in his own house and was captured alive by the emperor. King Yan entered the city. Yes, it was already seven days after Zhu Di ascended the throne. Before Zhu Di entered the city, he listed him as the top war criminal. Someone actually made up the story that Zhu Di asked him to draft an imperial edict but he refused to agree, and even made up a very vivid golden story. Dialogue in the palace.
There are more places here that cannot withstand scrutiny. Master Daoyan suddenly became a master. As early as when King Yan left Beijing, he had predicted that he would be able to invade Nanjing, so he specifically asked him to do this to him, a rotten scholar like Fang Xiaoru. It is impossible for politicians to win over the idealists who advocate Ida and the restoration of the past. For Fang Xiaoru, who persecutes their Buddhist disciples, he must be spared.
Because Fang Xiaoru was so important. Even after the death of Confucius and Meng Sheng, the world would not fall. For example, when dynasties change, ministers loyal to the late emperor will always die. It doesn't matter. But if Lao Fang dies, the seeds of learning in the world will be wiped out.
Why did you let the later generations of Yu Qian, Wang Yangming, Yang Jisheng, Zhang Juzheng, and Shi Kefa be so embarrassed?
These things that cannot stand up to scrutiny are taken seriously by some people.
"Records of the Ming Dynasty" said that Fang Xiaoru once begged for mercy. Some people said that it was false and was slandered by Zhu Di. Maybe, maybe it was really false. But what is said in folklore must be true? Although Zhu Di killed Zhuo Jing,
But he gave him a very high evaluation. Both "Records of the Ming Dynasty" and "History of the Ming Dynasty" have Zhu Di's words: "The country has been raising scholars for thirty years, and only one person has been honored." When he arrived at Fang Xiaoru's place, he began to
Slandered?
It's hard to describe it all in one sentence. There are also many, many so-called histories that are riddled with errors. I will demonstrate them one by one in the story, so I won't list them all here.
Unfounded folklore has taken over the mainstream and has become history. Of course, the real history may not be exactly like Zhu Dixiu's history, but isn't there too many absurdities and inadequacies in the beautification of Jianjian and its unofficial history that cannot withstand scrutiny?
Zhu Di was an emperor in the feudal era. He had his historical limitations. I have no intention of beautifying him according to the current view of people. However, I should not overgeneralize and deny his achievements. I should not judge him based on the few years before and after he ascended the throne.
The purge of political opponents during the month covered up his great achievements in life.
Writing has to be a bit ideal.
I want to write out what my impression should be of a period of Jingnan based on the large amounts of information I have collected and the many loopholes I have examined. Therefore, before the Jingnan is over, I will not arbitrarily let the protagonist change things in history to affect my understanding of the Jingnan.
Restoration efforts. If we want the protagonist to be majestic and make up for historical regrets, we can wait until Yongle ascends the throne.
The above is my hard work and my thoughts.
If you write two updates a day, two updates of six thousand words, you can be generous; if you have something to do but haven’t updated, you can be generous, and I won’t be polite. If you work so hard, are so serious, and write more, why can’t you be so passionate and shout up to the sky:
