It was when I first read Mr. Gu Cheng's "History of the Southern Ming Dynasty" that I wanted to write a novel about the late Ming Dynasty because I couldn't express the pent-up emotions in my chest. However, my thoughts were very simple at that time. As a fan of Ming Dynasty, of course I still hope to be able to write it.
A book that helps protect the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, I even discussed the outline with my friends in the group. There are two routes, one is the story of Rong Fan Zhu You, and the other is the story of Chu Fan Zhu Rongfan. If you are interested in the story of Zhu Rongfan, you can go to Zhihu and search for "The Eighth Generation of the Southern Ming Dynasty Ancestor Who Restored the Ming Dynasty"
"Zhu Rongfan" can be seen as the story of Chang Kaishen's sexy operation after traveling through the late Ming Dynasty.
The setting of Zhu You of Rongfan mainly focuses on collecting loyal camps in Hunan. You can search the "1645 Ming and Qing Dynasty Diding Broken Mountain Pictures" on Tieba, which contains the records of me and my group of friends running a group in the late Ming Dynasty.
Starting from the story of the Loyalty Camp, my views on the Chuang Army changed a lot. Then I finally went back and read "History of the Peasant War in the Late Ming Dynasty". In fact, many people rate the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty higher than the history of the Peasant War. No,
Few people's evaluation of the history of the Peasant War is that it is "well written but has too many class limitations caused by the times." They all feel that the large amount of class analysis in the History of the Peasant War is a mistake caused by the times.
But after learning more about it later, I felt more and more that the history of the Peasant War based on the people's view of history and the class view of history was of higher value. Isn't class analysis the most suitable methodology for analyzing the situation in the late Ming Dynasty?
Moving on from this thought, the more I thought and read, the more I became disillusioned not only with Chongzhen, but also with Apocalypse and Wei Zhongxian. In the end, I finally understood the Chinese ideal created by Zhu Yuanzhang
A country is not eternal. Chinese people believe that "Princes should be kind", and Chongzhen cannot be looked at differently just because he has the blood of Zhu Yuanzhang.
To maintain the utopia of China and to change the world of blood caused by the iron hoof of Manchuria, it is time to pick up Zhu Yuanzhang's approach again.
I remember there was a question on Zhihu, asking what Zhu Yuanzhang would do if he traveled to the late Ming Dynasty. I think he would wrap himself in red cloth again just like he participated in the Red Scarf Army and crushed the Meng Yuan Dynasty three hundred years ago!
China's utopia is not maintained by the "sacred blood" of the Zhu family. The Zhu family is not China's "holy family", and China does not need the Bourbon royalists. The Chinese tradition is the interaction between heaven and man, and what is heaven?
Woolen cloth?
God sees me and the people see me, God listens to me and the people listen.
Heaven is the law of history, and the laws of history are created by the people.
I hope that I, the Sichuan people, will not forget Kuidong; I hope that I, the Yunnan people, will not forget the King of Jin.
May we Chinese never forget the spirit of raising our mantis arms. Raising our mantis arms is not only to resist the tyranny of foreigners, but also to serve as the sword of Damocles to our own ruling class, and to forever alert our own rulers.
I would also like to thank Fang Congzhe, Wen Changqing, Zaomanxiong, Puxiang Zhenren, Huaxia Xiaopeng, Mo Wu, Ningnan Zuohou, Qingzhixin and others who provided a lot of ideas and materials for the creation of this book.
