This article is not a time travel article.
In the small village in the south of the Yangtze River where the author was born, it is said orally from the ancestors that there was such a gangster named "Green Beard". From a little bandit to a big thief, what has Greenbeard experienced? There are almost no traces of the legends of the older generation. Strange things in the countryside often attract people's attention. The facts can no longer be verified, and the author has no chance to write a serious history book.
The Taiping Rebellion in the late Qing Dynasty greatly devastated the empire's richest source of tax revenue and exposed the waning constitution of the empire. Many colonial empires were surrounded by wolves, staring closely at the fat in their eyes. The Hunan-Huaihe Army killed good people and took credit for their merits, and the foreign gun troops roamed the concession. How did the young people in the Taiping Rebellion's Boys' Camp grow up and save their lives? How do the good and evil of human nature bloom at the end of the empire? How did an ordinary small village turn into a "robber village" where the villagers became angry after hearing the news?
In an era where order is lost, business without capital such as robbery is still very tempting, and few people can easily refuse the wealth they get for nothing. The author has not heard of Green Beard's various evil deeds of rape, robbery, and house robbery. This is very inconsistent with the professional label of a bandit. What kind of robber Green Beard was, what kind of activities he did, and how he finally ended up buried in a dignified grave without being dug up and whipped... These questions have troubled the author.
