159. Chapter 159 The most tragic super-large illusion in history
In fact, this is the power of human collective consciousness.
When a certain number of people firmly believe that something will happen around them, then no matter how bizarre and unscientific it is, it will definitely happen.
Although this statement may sound idealistic and inconsistent with the materialistic worldview of modern society in today's world, it is true.
"History of the Song Dynasty: Sun Fu Biography" records that in the first year of Jingkang of Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty, Tokyo, which is today's Kaifeng, was besieged by the Jin army. Because the imperial court leader He Faction was in power, he ordered the Song troops from all directions not to act rashly. There were only 70,000 defenders in Kaifeng city.
.
Sun Fu, Minister of the Ministry of War, personally guarded the city day and night. One day he saw a "Poetry of Feelings", which contained the words "Guo Jing, Yang Shi, Liu Wuji", so he visited Liu Wuji in the market and found Guo Jing among the dragon guards.
.
"The good guy said that Jing can use the Liujia method, which can capture two generals alive and wipe them out. This method requires 7,777 people."
Sun Fu immediately recommended Guo Jing to the court.
The emperors of the Song Dynasty believed in it, and Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty was overjoyed when he heard about this strange man, and immediately sent an order to Guo Jing to come to the palace to see him.
Guo Jing performed the magic of Dunjia on the spot. Song Qinzong immediately believed in Guo Jing and appointed Guo Jing as military officer and governor of Guangzhou. He also gave him tens of thousands of gold and silk and allowed him to recruit troops independently.
At this time, the enemies of the Jin Kingdom were attacking more and more urgently, and Guo Jing was talking and laughing freely: "Send three hundred troops on a certain day, which will bring peace, and the attack will stop as far as the Yin Mountains."
One day when the Xuanhua Gate opened, 7,777 people selected by Guo Jing came out to welcome the Jin soldiers. As a result, they continued to retreat under the attack of the Jin soldiers and fell into the moat, which was filled with dead bodies.
Guo Jing, who was sitting on the tower, said that he needed to go down to do the ritual himself, and then led the rest of the people to escape south.
At this time, since there were no guards on the city wall, the Jin people boarded the city, and Tokyo fell instantly.
In the eyes of many historians, this incident is evidence that Song Qinzong was fatuous and believed in the words of gods and ghosts, leading to humiliation and subjugation of the country, and serves as a lesson for future generations.
But is this really the case?
In fact, if you think about it for a while, you can find many unreasonable things in it.
The enemies have already reached the capital city. Even if the emperor is fatuous, are all the civil and military ministers of the dynasty fools? If Guo Jing can't convince everyone that he can really defeat the Jin army, how can the Song Dynasty court give him so much power?
Is he messing around in Tokyo?
Don't talk about political speculation, nonsense, the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty are surrounded by turtles in a urn. If the Jin army comes in, it is hard to say whether they can survive. Still thinking about fighting for power and profit is not a flood in the head!
Do you want power or life? (Liu Neng said, he wants his wife...)
Thinking about it from another angle, Guo Jing was originally a veteran in the Forbidden Army. He had a good time in the army. When the Jin army besieged the city, he didn't take the initiative to say give me three thousand city guards... Oh, he gave me three thousand tiger benches.
Wanyan Zongwang was definitely going to be captured alive. It was Sun Fu, the Minister of War at the time, who took the initiative to find him. There might even be some semi-forced elements.
In fact, a long time ago, when Li Mengnan's grandfather was still alive, he once told this story to Li Mengnan.
Then Guo Jing is an unlucky guy.
It can be inferred from his description that he is "good at making gods subjugate ghosts, scattering beans to make soldiers, and can become invisible". It can be inferred that Guo Jing should be a descendant of a certain line of magicians at that time, and his level of illusions was quite high, and he could even reach
The state of turning falsehood into truth and virtuality into reality.
A magician who has reached this level is actually almost like a superman at that time. As long as he is willing to lower the bottom line of doing things, money, beauty, glory and wealth are definitely within his reach.
If you think about it, you can understand that with Guo Jing's level, he went directly to the Emperor of Jin to show his skills, how could he become a national advisor? Is there any need to covet this reward from the Song Dynasty? Go back and wait for Jin Bing.
If you bring in money, no matter how much gold, silver, or jewels you buy, it will still be nothing.
So, the real facts should be this:
Guo Jingben was a descendant of a certain line of magicians. He was an upright person and did not want to use his knowledge to obtain ill-gotten gains, so he lived a peaceful life as a soldier in Tokyo. In his free time, he gathered with some friends who were also magicians to drink and discuss.
Tao, let’s discuss the newly researched magic tricks.
Because he did not deliberately avoid concealing it, over time, rumors of Guo Jing's "magic skills" spread like wildfire.
When the Jin soldiers besieged the city, Sun Fuzheng, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, heard this rumor when he was at his wits' end, so he found Guo Jing in the army and asked him to retreat the troops.
Guo Jing also had a very loyal heart, and he also knew that the eggs should be intact when the nest is overturned, so after Sun Fu's repeated requests, he reluctantly agreed to give it a try.
The so-called "Liu Ding Liu Jia Magic" is actually an extremely difficult illusion that forcibly controls the collective consciousness of dozens or even millions of people, forcing it to be loaded onto the 7,777 people who have accepted it.
People who have undergone subliminal hypnosis.
The reason why Guo Jing chose green-skinned scoundrels in Tokyo instead of elite forbidden troops is that these scumbags with no bottom line have basically no willpower. When he performs hypnosis, he has less resistance and can easily obtain more.
Good results.
If this super large-scale illusion is successfully performed, these 7,777 green-skinned scoundrels will instantly transform from scum with a combat power of only 5 to saint warriors who can smash the sky with their fists and shatter the earth's combat power report, wearing shining gold.
The Holy Clothes pushed all the way with an extremely violent attitude, crushing the Jin army outside the city into slag.
Unfortunately, although Guo Jing can be called a master-level magician, this super-large illusion is still beyond the scope of his control. In addition, these green-skinned rogues are usually not welcome, Tokyo Bianliang
It was difficult for the people in the city to change their views on them and complete the huge reversal from bastards to saviors. Naturally, it was impossible to gather a strong collective consciousness.
Guo Jing delayed the counterattack again and again, in fact, in order to make the rumors of "inviting gods" he created spread wider and more credible.
Unfortunately, the fierce offensive of the Jin army outside the city and the weak combat effectiveness of the Song army could not give him more time to prepare for what may be the largest illusion in the history of magic. Under the constant urging of the Song Dynasty court, Guo Jing
We can only rush into battle, and then... there will be no more.
There must be a motive for everything a person does. If Guo Jing is really just a charlatan, can he take such a big risk and participate in such a huge chaos as the national war between Song and Jin? Doesn't he know that he can't fight back at all?
Jin Bing, and once it fails - the city is broken, the Jin Kingdom will not let him go, one of the main generals who participated in defending the city. If the city is not broken, the Song Dynasty court will not let him go, a liar who dares to deceive the emperor and civil and military officials.
.
Is it just for the glory and wealth in just a few days? Are you kidding? The more humble you are, the more you cherish your own life, and you can't even hide from it. Who is so full that they stand on the cusp of the storm?
Therefore, we can be sure that the charlatan Guo Jing, who was scolded bloody by future generations and whose crime of ruining the country was comparable to that of Daji and Baosi, was actually just an innocent magician who was just unlucky and became Song Qinzong's
He bears part of the blame for the crime of subjugating the country.
