The official forum of "Dark Sand" was flooded with discussions from players again.
"Ah! It stopped suddenly, and the meaning is still unfinished!"
"Yeah, why is it gone like this?"
"This time, we are fighting head-on with the Northern Barbarian cavalry without relying on the advantage of the geographical location. Especially the large-scale cavalry battle, it is so interesting!"
"Fighting alongside His Majesty is so nostalgic, I haven't had enough yet!"
"Yeah, every time the time ends with no aftertaste at all, bad review!"
"What on earth did the designer of this game think? He promised that after finishing the game, he could have a good chat with Sheng Taizu? Why did it stop so suddenly! Damn it!"
“Bad review! Complain!”
Players once again criticized the game officials angrily.
It's not because the game isn't done well, it's because it's done so well!
Everyone fought together with General Deng and Sheng Taizu, and they couldn't feel the passage of time at all. They just wanted to spend more time with them. But when the official said it was cut off, the players were of course very uncomfortable.
But after complaining, everyone thought that there is no such thing as customer service in the game "Dark Sand", so after complaining for a while, they dispersed.
As before, the footage of the Orderer expedition has been updated simultaneously.
It is also a perfect documentary, the entire recording lasts for three hours, and all the wonderful performances of the players are edited into it.
Among them, all are the most exciting large-scale war scenes.
Especially the cavalry players, under the leadership of Sheng Taizu, the cavalry team of ten thousand people rushed back and forth amid the tens of thousands of Northern Barbarian troops. The invincible scene was really amazing.
Of course, the influence of this video is not limited to the player group. It also gained great popularity online for the first time.
Many cold weapon war enthusiasts enjoyed watching it.
"This war scene is really cool!"
"The details are so exquisite! Whether it is the formation of a military formation to resist the enemy or the specific tactics of the cavalry, they are all highly restored to the real scenes in ancient times. The war scenes in today's crude costume historical dramas are simply out of this world!"
"Yeah, I've been staring at it for so long, but I can't see any flaws."
"The cavalry battle was the most enjoyable part for me. Other TV dramas and movies are just about the cavalry on both sides clashing and it's over. It's difficult to even capture the basic restraint between the spear formation and the cavalry, let alone the relationship between the cavalry.
Battle? I didn’t expect that the game "Dark Sand" would crush all these big-budget film and television dramas!"
"Sheng Taizu and General Deng...the appearance of such characters is really exciting. Just watching the video makes me want to cry. What would it be like if I could really be a soldier and fight side by side with them?"
What does it feel like?”
"No matter what, I will definitely get the place for the closed beta of "Dark Sand" this time!"
"After all, this is done through the real historical memory of mankind, and it must be a highly restored history!"
"The only pity I have to say is that due to the setting of the demon, the enemy's fighting will is too tenacious and there will be no collapse, which is somewhat unrealistic. Look forward to the content of Sheng Taizu's movie!"
"I'm looking forward to it too! I heard that the last challenge inside is the very famous Battle of Woodlands and Tulash Mountains. Sheng Taizu traveled a long distance and faced off against the elite heavy cavalry of the Northern Barbarians and decided the outcome in a single battle. If this scene
It would be great to see it!”
"There should be. I can't wait to go to the cinema!"
Players are constantly discussing the various details of the "Reckless Heroic" dungeon, as well as the footage of the latest Orderer expedition.
There are so many things in this update that moved them.
Of course, many players are already looking forward to the content of the new version.
While the popularity of the forum has reached a new peak, the update announcement of "Dark Sand" has finally come out.
Players immediately clicked to view it eagerly.
…
"New version update announcement of "Dark Sand":
"With the assistance of Taizu Sheng and General Deng, the players successfully defeated the monster of the historical slice and successfully conquered the historical slice that locked the entire Dasheng Dynasty. The scope of the Fortress of the Orderer was further expanded, and various abilities of the Orderer were also obtained.
Corresponding upgrades were made.
""Dark Sand" will enter a new version preparation state for seven days:
"First, the cut-and-length video of "Heroes" will be released in the form of a movie in major theaters and online video platforms, and the revenue will still be returned to players.
"This movie will use 'dialogue' as the main framework, and will add the most suitable player clearance videos as supplementary materials, so stay tuned!
“Second, in the territorial fiefdom gameplay, the scope of the Orderer’s fortress and the player’s fiefdom will be further expanded.
“At the same time, some new craftsmen and shops will appear in the Orderer’s fortresses and fiefs, unlocking more resource points.
"Cavalry players can purchase new horse gear, vests, horse weapons and other special props in the Orderer's Fortress. Other players can also purchase weapons, armor and other equipment from the entire Dasheng Dynasty.
"Third, the heroic spirit summoning function has been upgraded.
"The duration and combat power of General Deng Yuanjing will be increased.
“Four, internal testing qualifications are issued.
“In this phase, an additional 40,000 internal beta qualifications will be issued, bringing the total number of internal beta players to 100,000.
“New internal beta quotas will be selected according to the original mechanism.
"Special note: Depending on the historical slice, the number of players that the Orderer Expedition gameplay can accommodate is also different. In some special circumstances, you may need to screen before entering the Orderer Expedition. Players are asked to select their own advantages
Fight bravely to be the first.
"Seven days later, the game will open a new version of 'The Rise and Fall of the Ages'. The specific update content is as follows.
“First, a batch of new talents and skills have been unlocked in the Orderer’s talent and skill library, and the ‘G’ level skill levels have been unlocked.
"Two, some talent skills will be unlocked as permanent talent skills. Permanent talent skills will not occupy the original talent skill slots.
“Third, the degree of freedom in the game will be greatly improved. In some historical slices, players can clear the dungeon without seeking to reproduce the original appearance of history.
"Four, unlock the new copy of 'Stop talking'.
"This copy has a high degree of freedom, and players can explore specific changes on their own during the game."
…
Players immediately began to interpret the new version update announcement.
This has become their routine.
The version of the game "Dark Sand" is updated very frequently. Basically, a large dungeon is updated in about two weeks, and small dungeons such as the Cavalry Trial are also crammed in every now and then.
Only the top players can keep up with the progress. There are many players who are slow to challenge. They have not yet understood the previous dungeons, so they start a new dungeon. They have to find ways to find time to make up for the lessons.
The seven days after each dungeon is cleared is the time for most players to make up lessons.
As for new version update announcements, they often contain a lot of information.
If those top players want to win at the starting line, they must quickly find out the right way, study, and interpret the update announcement as soon as the new copy is opened.
But after reading this update announcement, some players felt somewhat disappointed.
“Why do you feel that this update is not very effective?”
"Yes, it seems that they are all relatively regular updates, and there are no particularly powerful new features."
"After all, you have cleared the entire Dasheng Dynasty dungeon. Can't you come up with something more powerful?"
"There are no new heroic spirits unlocked in the Heroic Spirit Summoning function. Can't you unlock Sheng Taizu? If you don't have Sheng Taizu, General Gu Yuan can do it."
"There is no new subsidiary status unlocked. It is estimated that in the short term, the only optional subsidiary status will be cavalry."
"It's okay. Anyway, the version updates quickly. Maybe there will be new features in two weeks."
"In fact, there are quite a lot of updates to the basic content this time. The skill library of the Orderer has been expanded, and the skill level has been raised by one level. The number of players has increased by 40,000 to 100,000. The craftsmen and merchants in the Orderer's fortress
The product list has also been updated, so we can boost our combat power."
"What is the content of the new dungeon 'I'm still trying to explain'? There is also the name of this version, 'How many things have happened in the rise and fall of the ages'. These are all famous poems from the Qi Dynasty, but it is difficult to figure out the specific content of the dungeon..."
"You'll know in a week, of course!"
"Let's go watch a movie first! Your Majesty, I'm coming!"
…
At this time, Zhao Haiping had just sat comfortably on his sofa, opened a can of Feizhai Happy Water at hand, and looked at the TV screen.
Today is the weekend, so he doesn't have to go to work.
The movie "Reckless Heroic" will be released online soon and can be watched soon.
According to the new version update announcement, this time the movie will be in the form of "dialogue", and players' performance in passing the game may be edited into it.
Although the team of Chu Ge and Zhao Haiping were the first to pass the level, when it comes to the four different identities, players from other teams may have performed better.
Therefore, the film material this time is selected from the best and is quite worth looking forward to.
As for Zhao Haiping, he is certainly confident in his performance. His identity as "Commander" and the battle in Woodlands Tulas Mountain will most likely use his lens.
With a relaxed, comfortable and expectant mood, Zhao Haiping looked at the opening scene on the TV screen.
…
In the wasteland outside the Great Wall, the sky is filled with wind and sand.
As far as the eye can see, there is a dull yellow color everywhere, the sun is setting in the west, and the dead grass on the ground is also leaning, as if it is growing tenaciously.
With a "snap" sound, the war horse's front hooves stepped on the withered grass, trampling it into the soil.
But after the war horse walked away with gentle steps, the withered grass stood up tenaciously again. Although it was crooked and no longer the same as before, it still made people feel a vigorous vitality.
The setting sun is like blood, alone, riding alone, looking at the distant empire territory.
Immediately afterwards, another war horse appeared behind this man.
The camera follows the perspective of the second war horse and focuses on the back of the person in front.
The camera turned and a second horse appeared.
"Junior Meng Yuan comes from more than six hundred years later and is here to pay a special visit to Your Majesty.
"I would like to work with His Majesty to shine a bright mirror and understand the past and present, so that future generations can also have a glimpse of His Majesty's grace!"
Meng Yuan was riding a war horse, standing behind Sheng Taizu. In the posture of a junior, he cupped his fists and raised his hands, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the war horse turned slightly, and Taizu Sheng looked over slowly.
His eyes are as bright as fire, and he is not angry or intimidating, but he also has a bit of appreciation and care for his younger generations.
"Since you come from the next generation, you naturally know many things about the future."
Meng Yuan nodded: "Senior, it's okay to ask, I will tell you everything I know."
Taizu Sheng smiled openly: "The secrets of heaven cannot be discerned. The more we know about the future, the more painful it will be.
"We have already heard from other descendants that the great prosperity of the country lasted for nearly three hundred years, so we don't have too many worries in our hearts.
"There is no dynasty that lasts forever. Since China is no longer prosperous but China will last forever, we don't have many regrets.
"So, today we don't want to ask what happened after the Dasheng Dynasty. Instead, we want to ask first...
"If you were to evaluate our life, what achievement would you most recognize?"
…
At this time, there are countless viewers watching this new movie with Zhao Haiping.
This opening also gave them a strong shock.
"I'm so touched when I see this face of Sheng Taizu. Finally, a drama can capture this look without any distortion!"
"Yes, 'Taizu's appearance, with beautiful eyebrows and flaring eyes, a straight nose and long lips, a face like the full moon, and a beard that is not full of feet, is very different from the strange figures in folk legends.' This is the correct image!"
""Ansha" is a true historical memory, so many things can be concluded, right? At least don't blame Taizu for his appearance!"
Most of the viewers were not qualified for the closed beta of "Ansha". This was the first time they saw the true image of Sheng Taizu in "Ansha", so it sparked a small-scale discussion.
As one of the outstanding players, Zhao Haiping was naturally very familiar with Sheng Taizu's face.
What he didn't expect was that the movie would start in this way.
In the wasteland outside the Great Wall, the setting sun is like blood.
Zhao Haiping is naturally very familiar with the scenery here.
This is the Woodlands Tula Mountain, the place where he had his last battle with the Northern Barbarians when he played the role of "Commander" Sheng Taizu. It is also the battlefield where players fight against the monsters in the historical slices.
This place is of extremely important significance to Sheng Taizu.
If that dilapidated and desolate mountain village was his life, then Woodlands Tula Mountain was the end of his life.
Although after this personal expedition to the Northern Barbarians, Sheng Taizu spent a long time in the palace and finally died in the process of reviewing memorials, in fact, after the battle at Woodlands Tula Mountain, Sheng Taizu's mission
It's almost complete.
He has reached the limit of what an emperor can do. As for the follow-up, it is just some finishing work to extend the country.
Therefore, it is most appropriate to review the glorious life of Sheng Taizu in this place.
Beggar, rebel, commander-in-chief, emperor... He may have many identities, but his favorite identity must be that of a warrior.
Fight against the Northern Barbarians, fight against the ministers, and fight against all the injustices he considers.
Perhaps in his heart, dying on the battlefield is a better destination for a soldier, but unfortunately God did not give him such an honor, so he had to continue to lean in the memorials of the ministers until the last moment of his life.
This conversation was between Meng Yuan and Sheng Taizu on behalf of the player.
Zhao Haiping originally thought that this role would be Chu Ge, but considering that the two roles Meng Yuan played before were very exciting, it was appropriate for the official to make this arrangement.
Since it is a conversation, it is nothing more than a question and an answer.
Moreover, it is mainly Sheng Taizu who is asking. After all, after going through this trial illusion, the players already know enough about Sheng Taizu.
Sheng Taizu's first question is very interesting.
Taizu Sheng did not show too much concern for Guo Zuo of the Dasheng Dynasty. After knowing that the Dasheng Dynasty had a long life among all dynasties, he turned the page very openly.
But this does not mean that Sheng Taizu did not care about other things.
It can be seen from this question that Taizu Sheng actually cares more about what future generations think of him.
In particular, I want to know which of the achievements he made with all his hard work have been recognized by future generations.
Sure enough, it is difficult to give up such a thing as "name before death and after death", no matter how open-minded a hero is.
Zhao Haiping straightened up slightly, looking forward to Meng Yuan's next answer.
…
Meng Yuan cheered up and said the answer he had prepared in his heart: "In this case, I will answer boldly.
"The first point is naturally the greatest achievement of our predecessors: expelling the barbarians and rebuilding China!"
But Sheng Taizu's reaction was mediocre.
He chuckled and looked into the distance: "But some people say that times make heroes.
"Some people also say that there are many heroes in China, and maybe someone else can do better.
"What merit can be said for doing something that everyone should have done?
"What do you think?"
Of course Meng Yuan was not stopped by the question, he just slowed down his speaking speed and spoke eloquently.
“After the Qi Dynasty, the Northern Barbarians took over the Central Plains, and the land of China sank.
"After the Great Dynasty, China was again ravaged by the iron hoofs of foreign tribes, and mourning was everywhere.
“If it were not for the two hundred years of the Great Sheng Dynasty, our Chinese civilization would have lasted for more than six hundred years!
"Since the death of Yanyun, the entire north has been under the iron heel of the aliens. The Central Plains dynasty has been defeated repeatedly. Without the Great Sheng Dynasty and more than 600 years of alien rule, would our Chinese civilization still exist?
"The Great Dynasty created by His Majesty unified China from south to north, reshaping China's declining and decadent spirit since the collapse of the Liang Empire, so that later generations of poets no longer have to lament, 'Wang Shibei set the Central Plains Day, family sacrifices
"Don't forget to tell Nai Weng", which made me, China, stand up again!
"Of course this is an unparalleled achievement in driving out the Huru and re-creating China!
"If a Greek peasant with no background, more than 90 years after the fall of Constantinople, raised righteous soldiers to liberate Greece, Asia Minor, North Africa, and the Apennine Peninsula, which had been occupied for a hundred years, and recovered the Imperian Peninsula which had been occupied for a thousand years, Gao
Lu, Britain, reshaped the Roman Empire and allowed the people who had been occupied for thousands of years to identify themselves as Romans again. What kind of evaluation will he receive?
"It's a pity that ancient Rome had no such heroes.
"We are very lucky to have such a hero in China!
"If times make heroes, there will always be 'another person' who will come out to turn the tide when the land of China is sinking, then the 'other person' of the Roman Empire..."
"Where again?
"The younger generation believes that we in China are too lucky. Whenever the mountains and rivers collapse, the land of China sinks, and we face the crisis of annihilation and annihilation, a group of people will always emerge to save the people from the fire and water.
"But it is precisely because of this that many people regard it as the norm, but they do not know that God has never cared about China in particular. It is the people of China who have burned their blood to re-create a bright world.
"The people are the creators of history, but those heroes also emerged under the support of the people, and their achievements should naturally be remembered by China!"
…
Meng Yuan's speech was full of emotions, and he seemed to be giving advice and scolding Fang Qiu for his scholarly ambition.
But this kind of emotion does not make people feel disgusted. Instead, he keeps carrying it with him, as if he has really traveled through hundreds of years of history, and has a panoramic view of the hardships and unyielding struggles that the entire China suffered before and after the Dasheng Dynasty.
And the question "Where is the 'other person' in the Roman Empire?" has aroused the resonance of countless netizens.
If you turn on the barrage function of the video website at this time, you will see countless praises from players.
"Yes, that's great!"
"Expelling the barbarians and rebuilding China is easy to say, but how difficult it is to actually do it!"
"Unifying China from the south to the north is a great feat that no one has ever accomplished before Sheng Taizu! What's more, he personally conquered Mobei several times, and his martial virtue is so abundant!"
"Some people always say that even if Taizu Sheng did not establish the Great Sheng Dynasty and expel the Northern Barbarians, there would always be another person to complete it. But where is the 'other person' in the Roman Empire?"
"Indeed, it was precisely because Taizu Sheng expelled the Northern Barbarians and established the Great Sheng Dynasty that everyone took this matter for granted. But if you look at the Roman Empire, it didn't just fall apart once and never stand up again. Yet?"
"Yes, if there really was such a person in the Roman Empire, his name in the West would probably replace Caesar, right?"
"Thinking about it this way, if the Great Sheng Dynasty had not reshaped China, and the entire Central Plains had been ruled by foreigners for more than six hundred years, it would be hard to imagine what it would be like!"
"During the Qi Dynasty, even the traditional areas of the Han people such as Yanyun, Liaodong, and the Hexi Corridor could not be defended. Later, not to mention, the southerners became the lowest class. Even Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi were full of Hu merchants. Given time, maybe The Central Plains will be completely transformed into barbarians, and if the Great Sheng Dynasty had not appeared, there might have been another extremely terrifying chaos!"
"If you look at it now, you will know that the fishing village that has been separated for more than a hundred years is restless, and the island that has been separated for seventy years is smoky. Sheng Taizu took over, but the north and the south have been separated for more than two hundred years, and Yanyun has been separated for more than four hundred years. The Hexi Corridor that has been separated for more than 500 years is Yunnan that has been lost for more than 800 years!"
"Yes, if there hadn't been the Great Sheng Dynasty, I'm afraid that the ridges of our Chinese people would have been broken! I'm afraid that the southerners and the northerners would have become two different ethnic groups. Don't think it's impossible, there are examples in the world It’s everywhere.”
"It is said that times create heroes, but during the darkest moments in our Chinese history, how many heroes like Sheng Taizu were produced?"
"I don't like the saying that times create heroes. This sentence certainly has merit, just like if Taizu Sheng was born in a peaceful and prosperous age, he would only be a tenant farmer for the rest of his life, and heroes would have no place to play. However, over-emphasis on times making heroes, But it fell into a kind of emptiness. As long as 'the hero does not come out', it is understood that 'the time has not come'. But many times, it is the hero who finds the opportunity, and it is the hero who creates the situation!"
"So, I, China, are too lucky. Whenever China declines and China sinks, there will always be a hero who turns the tide and helps the building from falling! However, it is precisely because of this luck that Many people regard the emergence of these heroes as inevitable and do not know how to cherish them at all!"
"Not only do they not know how to cherish them, but they also constantly look for various angles to criticize and smear them. It is the executioners with butcher knives in their hands, stained with blood, that have become the targets of corruption."
"It's great. It's great to be able to say these words to Taizu Sheng..."
This short sentence made the audience feel as if they had traveled hundreds of years and arrived at that magnificent era where heroes emerged in large numbers.
The shots in the movie also changed accordingly.
Chuzhou City, Rebel Army.
It was from here that the young Sheng Taizu embarked on the journey of his mission step by step.
From the first time Sheng Taizu fought against the Northern Barbarian army until he left Chuzhou City with the "Twenty-Four Generals of the Two Huaihe Rivers", the plot of the "rebel" identity was completely displayed in front of all the audience.
Especially at the end, when he resolutely took away twenty-four people and decided to make his own way, many viewers were surprised.
Although this is recorded in official history, it is indeed not known to most ordinary people.
The video officially adopted by "Ansha" was not Huo Yunying's video, but the video of another martial arts player.
This may be because in Huo Yunying's video, although the customs clearance was faster and smoother, it was not close enough to the image of Sheng Taizu at that time.
The video of this player not only shows Sheng Taizu's nervousness, embarrassment and other complex emotions when he first entered the battle formation, but also well reflects the whole process of his continuous growth and rapid emergence in the battle formation.
Moreover, the content of the movie does not stop there.
The role of "rebel" ended when Sheng Taizu left Chuzhou City, but it continues in the movie.
After Sheng Taizu left Chuzhou City, he relied on these twenty-four people to continuously recruit nearby rebels and bandits, either using tricks, relying on his own personality charm, or attacking directly... Soon, he A team of three thousand people was formed.
From twenty-four generals to a rebel army of three thousand people, to a separatist force that dominated one side, and finally unified the Central Plains and began the Northern Expedition...
The movie does not record the details in detail, but uses war scenes one by one to briefly introduce the general process of Sheng Taizu's "expelling the Huru and rebuilding China".
Watching this rebel army continue to grow, the players are all excited.
In particular, this also shows the difference between Sheng Taizu's rebel army and other rebel armies: strict military discipline and orderly rewards and punishments. Perhaps this is the biggest difference between Sheng Taizu and other peasant uprising leaders.
…
After some turmoil, the scene returned to the battlefield near Tula Mountain in Woodlands.
A smile appeared on Taizu Sheng's face, as if he was recalling his glorious past again.
He nodded slightly and continued to ask: "Is there a second point?"
Meng Yuan said without hesitation: "Of course.
“This second point is naturally ‘Establishing principles and disciplines to help the people’.”
Compared with "Expelling the Huru and Rebuilding China", this second point is obviously not so loud.
Taizu Sheng nodded slightly, obviously acknowledging what Meng Yuan said, but he still said: "It is what every founding king should do to recuperate and recuperate."
Meng Yuan nodded: "Even so, if you want to say that those who can truly understand the sufferings of the people and understand the 'difficulty of people's livelihood', the seniors should be second to none among the emperors!
"During the previous dynasty, the tyrants were rampant, and the tenant farmers were like pigs and dogs, and the rich dared to kill them exclusively. The landlord's crime of beating the tenant to death was reduced to one degree, and he could even be whipped and driven, treated as a slave, and even had his children.
“If the tenants have a boy, they will be enslaved; if they have a girl, they will be a maid.
“In fact, before the Dasheng Dynasty, the status of tenant farmers was no different from that of serfs!
"We are accustomed to feudal societies without serfdom, but in fact we are the outliers. Almost all feudal societies around the world have embarked on the path of serfdom, and the so-called civilized West has been carrying out reforms to abolish serfdom until modern times.
"When Dasheng was first established, it could be said to be devastated. North of the Huaihe River, the Yellow River Basin, Liaodong, and the northwest were almost all white land. There was not much population in the entire north of the Yangtze River. There were even grazing horses and soldiers in the Luoyang Basin.
“The Yellow River is overflowing and the people are in dire straits. With such a scene of ‘more than one hundred people surviving’, ordinary people can’t even talk about survival, let alone the rise and fall of dynasties?
“Thirty years after the founding of the Great Sheng Dynasty, more than 40,000 pond weirs were opened, 4,000 rivers were dredged, and 5,000 canal embankments were built in prefectures and counties across the country!
"Dujiangyan, which had been abandoned for hundreds of years, has come back to life, and the Yellow River has stopped flooding for two hundred years. Hexi, which was completely slaughtered by the Northern Barbarian army, has a population of less than 800,000 and less than 100,000 hectares of farmland. In the third year of the founding of the Dasheng Dynasty,
Ten years later, the 80,000-strong army in the northwest would have enough food to support them for three years. Their cultivated land and population would exceed the peak of the Qi Dynasty!
"Tenants in the Dasheng Dynasty were not serfs, but common people. They had certain legal rights and personal freedoms and could not be manipulated at will. Not only were they freed from personal dependence on the landlord, but they could also terminate the tenancy contract according to their own wishes.
"In the early and middle periods of the Dasheng Dynasty, 'rich people did not dare to buy too much rent. At that time, the scholar-bureaucrats were afraid of the Qing Dynasty, and all the eunuchs returned with no money. There was no trend of mergers and acquisitions by powerful powers. The people had limited land, few families, and no valuable grain.'
“The rights that Dasheng regained for the tenant farmers lasted for six hundred years!
“There is even a stipulation: virtuous, upright and heroic people are allowed to tie up evil subordinates from various places and old and cunning people in rural and urban cities and send them to the capital; if anyone dares to stop him midway, his head will be displayed to the public!
"If you look at it from the perspective of the landlords, gentry, and powerful officials, your Majesty is of course unforgivable, and you wish you could eat him alive. But if you look at it from the perspective of the common people and poor tenant farmers, after being oppressed for hundreds of years, you finally have something to lose.
How should you feel when such an emperor appears?"
…
Meng Yuan's words once again aroused cheers from the audience.
"That's so good! It makes my blood boil!"
"Yes, everyone says Sheng Taizu was a tyrant, but no matter how cruel he was, he was still the real savior to officials, powerful gentry, and ordinary people!"
"Those who say cruelty are talking about empathy. People are superior to others! When corrupt officials embezzle money to control floods, countless people in the downstream drown.
When students who study hard from poor families cannot be loyal to the country... aren't the common people and students who study hard from poor families pitiful?"
"Yes, think about what life Taizu Sheng lived in those days. For generations, his ancestors and grandchildren were refugees and tenant farmers at the lowest level of society. They had no roof to cover their heads and no place to stand on. They even gave two kilograms of pork to a scholar to give him a name.
Sorry! There are still people saying that bureaucrats and landlords are pitiful?"
"Hey, it is precisely because Sheng Taizu started with a bowl that he understands the sufferings of the people better! He is indeed merciless when it comes to killing officials, but how many emperors can do better than him to the people?"
"Originally, I thought that doing little corvee and underpaying taxes and making a living for the people was a matter of course after the founding of the country. But in the long history, how many dynasties have really been able to do this?"
"Yes, Taizu Sheng was also a feudal emperor and could not escape the laws of history, but among the emperors, he was considered the best."
…
When the camera turned, the scene of Taizu Sheng in his late years was seen reviewing memorials.
This section uses the lens of Chu Ge.
There are mountains of memorials and seemingly endless work...
An old body, stubbornly persisting like this, maybe if he had to review one less memorial and deal with one less thing, this huge empire would not collapse suddenly, but he just kept persisting and refused to say anything.
Relax.
Several key points encountered when playing the role of "Emperor" were also well presented, allowing the audience to follow Chu Ge's perspective and understand why some people had to be killed.
The previous performance of the "Emperor" identity did not actually explain the results of this hard work.
The players were busy for a long time, but in the end they just saw the number "Guo Zuo Extension" and were qualified to pass the level.
But at this time, through Meng Yuan's introduction, the changes in farmland, population, water conservancy facilities and other data were intuitively displayed in front of all the audience.
Finally, there is an overhead shot.
The originally deserted and dilapidated mountain villages have become densely populated again. The displaced farmers are either busy with spring plowing, working diligently, or feeling the joy of harvest...
A scene of prosperity.
…
A slight smile appeared on Taizu Sheng's face, as if he was more satisfied with the second point mentioned by Meng Yuan than the first point.
This is not to say that the second achievement is greater than the first, but that expelling the barbarians and rebuilding China is certainly Sheng Taizu's greatest achievement, but this achievement sometimes overshadows other achievements.
Therefore, many people have ignored Sheng Taizu's outstanding talents in restoring the economy and governing the country.
Meng Yuan's second point highly affirmed Sheng Taizu's excellent ability in governing the country. The words "understanding the difficulties of people's livelihood" are obviously a very high compliment.
For Sheng Taizu himself, he was obviously quite proud of his achievements in other areas, and Meng Yuan's words obviously spoke to his heart.
